  • Master Thesis Lewis, George H
    Lund University Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies Master’s Program in Asian Studies Japan Studies Spring Semester, 2010 12 GIRLS BAND AND KODO: COMPARING OF INVENTED TRADITIONAL MUSIC IN CHINA AND JAPAN Author: Jing Jin Supervisor: Dr. Mayumi Saegusa The self-giving help of Dr. Mayumi Saegusa is sincerely acknowledged by the author ABSTRACT When traditions have been changed to suit the needs of the day, they are actually no longer ancient, immemorial or unalterable. This kind of traditions is defined as ‘invented tradition’ by Eric Hobsbawn and Terence Ranger. If the definition is applied to the traditions of East Asia, traditional Chinese music by 12 Girls Band and traditional Japanese music by Kodo are representative illustrations. Both the two musical groups perform fusions of traditional elements with non-traditional ones, which are categorized as world music by genre. Based on the two examples, this research explores how traditional Chinese music and traditional Japanese music are ‘invented’ in contemporary society, and what influence the development of traditional musical culture in China and Japan. By studying biographies and discographies of 12 Girls Band and Kodo, data of the research are presented as stories of them comprising several aspects of their performing careers. The analysis is conducted along with their initial international success back to domestic influences, which leads to a discussion on the different ways of utilizing ‘invented’ traditional music to present national identities of China and Japan, respectively. Through discussion, two different ways of expressing national identities are revealed which influenced different development of traditional Chinese music and traditional Japanese music.

  • Edwin's Sonnets
    Edwin's Sonnets Edwin S. Williams Editions Eclipse 2019 1 Like as to make our appetite more keen Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse, As to prevent our maladies unseen, And every fair with his fair doth rehearse, Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, Or any of these all, or all, or more And every fair from fair sometime declines, I make my love engrafted to this store: So should my papers (yellowed with their age) Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, And your true rights be termed a poet's rage, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter, In sleep a king, but waking no such matter. 2 No more be grieved at that which thou hast done, Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate', Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, But when she saw my woeful state, Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire, To kiss the tender inward of thy hand, And rather make them born to our desire, At the wood's boldness by thee blushing stand. So is the time that keeps you as my chest And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, To make some special instant special-blest, More than that tongue that more hath more expressed. Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone. 1 Editions Eclipse / 2019 eclipsearchive.org 3 Lo in the orient when the gracious light That thereby beauty's rose might never die, Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, His tender heir might bear his memory: Straight in her heart did mercy come, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, Was used in giving gentle doom: By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But heaven in thy creation did decree, Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen, Whate'er thy thoughts, or thy heart's workings be, For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.

    “KOBUSHI AGEROO! (=PUMP YA FIST!)”: BLACKNESS, “RACE” AND POLITICS IN JAPANESE HIPHOP By DAWN-ELISSA TIYE IGHOSOTU FISCHER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Dawn-Elissa Tiye Ighosotu Fischer 2 For my son, Xola Dessalines Amilcar Fischer, and my mother, Cheryl Fischer, with love, respect and eternal admiration 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Anything productive that comes of this work is because it is multi-vocal and made possible by much support and guidance from a number of people, programs and institutions. Any mistakes are the sole fault of the author and so, in advance, I say, mea culpa, as this project was initially inspired by and continually driven by only good intentions as well as dreams of hope, healing and human equality. I am most grateful to the many people whose work, presence and support made this document possible. Writing to express my gratitude has been such an emotional process that I have actually –in the spirit of Hiphop—produced an “underground” and “commercial” version of Acknowledgements! What follows is the concise and commercial version. However, I still hope that readers will enjoy this part in the true spirit of a mixtape, and play your favorite instrumental sample while reading this academic version of the Hiphop “shout out.” In a final mixtape move, I send sincere apologies to all I may have forgotten to thank. I got you next time! One love; let’s get free. I am eternally thankful to all of the institutions, foundations, programs and people who financially supported my development and this research: the Mellon Mays Fellowship Program and the Social Science Research Council, the University of Florida Alumni Fellowship, the Japan Foundation, the Hiphop Archive, Stephen Fischer, Donald Fischer and Cheryl Fischer.
