  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere
    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

In recent years, there has been much research and theory on western film music, especially the Hollywood film industry, by musicologists and scholars in film studies, popular music studies, and other fields. However, there has been little research on Hong Kong Film music, the system of which is different from that of western film music, and therefore I will apply basic film music concepts, but using the real situation of Hong Kong film music to formulate my own argument. The methodology used in this thesis will include the application of basic concepts used by scholars of film music, such as the functions of music in film, combined with fieldwork and analysis of films.

  • Cities and Cinema
    Cities and Cinema Films about cities abound. They provide fantasies for those who recognize their city and those for whom the city is a faraway dream or nightmare. How does cinema rework city planners’ hopes and city dwellers’ fears of modern urbanism? Can an analysis of city films answer some of the questions posed in urban studies? What kinds of vision for the future and images of the past do city films offer? What are the changes that city films have undergone? Cities and Cinema puts urban theory and cinema studies in dialogue. The book’s first section analyzes three important genres of city films that follow in historical sequence, each associated with a particular city, moving from the city film of the Weimar Republic to the film noir associated with Los Angeles and the image of Paris in the cinema of the French New Wave. The second section discusses socio-historical themes of urban studies, beginning with the relationship of film industries and individual cities, continuing with the portrayal of war-torn and divided cities, and ending with the cinematic expression of utopia and dystopia in urban science fiction. The last section negotiates the question of identity and place in a global world, moving from the portrayal of ghettos and barrios to the city as a setting for gay and lesbian desire, to end with the representation of the global city in transnational cinematic practices. The book suggests that modernity links urbanism and cinema. It accounts for the significant changes that city film has undergone through processes of globalization, during which the city has developed from an icon in national cinema to a privileged site for transnational cinematic practices.

  • Global Cities, Local Knowledge
    Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional Dynamics Lim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia BSocSc (Hons), MSc (Media & Comms) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2005 Keywords Circuit of cultural production, East Asian popular culture, Television industries, Field of broadcasting, Formatting, Local knowledge, Media capitals, Neo-networks, Regional dynamics, TV Formats, martial arts dramas, teenage idol soap operas, game-shows. ii Abstract Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children’s animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood’s dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production.

  • An Introduction to Cantonpop
    An Introduction to Cantonese Pops (Updated version) Dr Helan Yang (Learning and teaching materials for teachers’ reference) Teachers may make reference to the book “Reading Cantonese Songs: The Voice of Hong Kong Through Vicissitudes”《粵語歌曲解讀：蛻變中的香港聲音》 written by Yu Siu Wah and Helan Yang Historical Overview The Origin of Cantonese Pops It is commonly held that Cantonese Pops (known as Cantopop1) emerged in the 50’s, but it is more likely that Cantonese songs with newly composed tunes and lyrics had already come into existence in Hong Kong as early as the 30’s. For example, the song《壽仔去拍 拖》with Cantonese lyrics intercalated with English words featured in an album released by New Moon Records Ltd (新月唱片) in 1930 was already emblematic of Hong Kong culture. The strophic structure of the lyrics and its reflection on life’s reality are similar to that of the ‘Humorous Songs’ (諧趣歌曲) of the 50’s and 60’s. According to Lu Kam (魯金), an expert on Hong Kong folk heritage, the two songs “Sleep Well My Baby”《兒安眠》and “The Miss Who Couldn’t Care Less”《風流小姐》featured in the singer Li Qi Nian’s (李綺 年) album released by New Moon Records in 1935 have new tunes and new lyrics, and can be regarded as the predecessor of Cantonese Pops. The early Cantonese Pops did not have a uniformed nomenclature. The Cantonese albums of the 50’s were released under the various names of ‘Dancing Songs’ (跳舞歌曲), ‘Dancing Cantonese Operatic Songs’ (跳舞粵曲), ‘Cantonese Modern Songs’ (粵語時代 曲), ‘Cantonese Ditties’ (粵語小曲) and ‘Modern Cantonese Operatic Songs’ (時代粵曲).

Policy, language, technology, identity and the experience of Canto-pop in Singapore LIEW KAI KHIUN Abstract This article explores the interactions and tensions arising from a vibrant Canto-pop industry exported from Hong Kong to an interventionist nation-state of Singapore bent on discouraging the use of dialects by its ethnic Chinese population. Aside from highlighting the roles of technological and com- mercial factors behind the regional music networks, it seeks further to position this contemporary relationship within the larger historical and cultural context.
