Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan. Because of the sensitive relationship between the two countries, however, the extensive transnational cultural interaction between Korea and Japan—including popular musical interaction, one of the most important aspects--has been intentionally downplayed by Korean scholars and by the popular Korean press. My dissertation theorizes what I call the “presence” of Japan, through its popular music, in contemporary Korea. I identify three major shifts in the presence of Japan in Korea from the 1980s to 2006: the “illegal” presence (1980s-1997), the “transitional” presence (1998-2004), and the “newly sanctioned” presence (since 2004). It is my contention that popular music plays a crucial role in shaping Korean perceptions about Japan, and those perceptions define a central iv focus of my dissertation. The research I present in the dissertation is organized around four areas of investigation: the kinds of "presence" Japan has had in the contemporary popular music scene in Korea since the 1980s, the kinds of forces that have been instrumental in shaping Korean’s consumption of Japanese popular music, the adjustments in Korea’s cultural politics in response to transnational cultural flow from Japan before and since 1998, and Korean reception and responses to the Japanese “presence” in Korea—its meanings and implications. I address these issues within the political and economic context of Japan-Korea relations, whose impact on musical practice and musical taste is complex and dynamic, demanding a multi-disciplinary analysis. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................XI LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................................

  • ANNEXURE Credo Theory of Music Training Programme GRADE 5 by S
    - 1 - ANNEXURE Credo Theory of Music training programme GRADE 5 By S. J. Cloete Copyright reserved © 2017 BLUES (JAZZ). (Unisa learners only) WHAT IS THE BLUES? The Blues is a musical genre* originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the USA around the end of the 19th century. The genre developed from roots in African musical traditions, African-American work songs, spirituals and folk music. The first appearance of the Blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery in America. The slavery was a sad time in history and this melancholic sound is heard in Blues music. The Blues, ubiquitous in jazz and rock ‘n’ roll music, is characterized by the call-and- response* pattern, the blues scale (which you are about to learn) and specific chord progressions*, of which the twelve-bar blues* is the most common. Blue notes*, usually 3rds or 5ths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. A swing* rhythm and walking bass* are commonly used in blues, country music, jazz, etc. * Musical genre: It is a conventional category that identifies some music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions, e.g. the blues, or classical music or opera, etc. They share a certain “basic musical language”. * Call-and-response pattern: It is a succession of two distinct phrases, usually played by different musicians (groups), where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or response to the first. It can be traced back to African music. * Chord progressions: The blues follows a certain chord progression and the th th 7 b harmonic 7 (blues 7 ) is used much of the time (e.g.

Through the concerted efforts of the Government and different sectors of the community for more than 30 years, the general public are aware of the health hazards of smoking and a supportive atmosphere for smoking cessation has been successfully created across the territory. The Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance was enacted in 1982, a key milestone for tobacco control legislation in Hong Kong. Since its enactment, the Government has adopted a progressive and multi-pronged approach on tobacco control which aligns with the MPOWER measures suggested by the World Health Organization. The smoking prevalence in Hong Kong has gradually reduced from 23.3% in the early 1980s to 10.5% in 2015, which is one of the lowest in the world. Thirty-five years ago, both indoor and outdoor places were smoky and hazy.
