  • Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20Th-Century Chinese Music
    Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20th-Century Chinese Music Yiwen Ouyang PhD Thesis Royal Holloway, University of London DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Yiwen Ouyang, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 19 May 2012 I To my newly born baby II ABSTRACT The twentieth century saw the spread of Western art music across the world as Western ideology and values acquired increasing dominance in the global order. How did this process occur in China, what complexities does it display and what are its distinctive features? This thesis aims to provide a detailed and coherent understanding of the Westernisation of Chinese music in the 20th century, focusing on the ever-changing relationship between music and social ideology and the rise and evolution of national identity as expressed in music. This thesis views these issues through three crucial stages: the early period of the 20th century which witnessed the transition of Chinese society from an empire to a republic and included China’s early modernisation; the era from the 1930s to 1940s comprising the Japanese intrusion and the rising of the Communist power; and the decades of economic and social reform from 1978 onwards. The thesis intertwines the concrete analysis of particular pieces of music with social context and demonstrates previously overlooked relationships between these stages. It also seeks to illustrate in the context of the appropriation of Western art music how certain concepts acquired new meanings in their translation from the European to the Chinese context, for example modernity, Marxism, colonialism, nationalism, tradition, liberalism, and so on.

  • Music, City, Ethnicity: Exploring Music Scenes in Lisbon Jorge De La Barre*
    LA BARRE, Jorge de (2010), “Music, city, ethnicity: exploring musical scenes in Lisbon”, in CÔRTE-REAL, Maria de São José (ed.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue Music and Migra- tion, October 2010, no. 7, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 139-156 Music, city, ethnicity: exploring music scenes in Lisbon Jorge de La Barre* Abstract This paper discusses the various ways in which music and cities interact, in a context of increased inter-connectedness betwe- en the local and the global. On the premises of the existence of a so-called ‘global culture’, cities tend to reinvent themselves by promoting various (and eventually competing) self-definitions. In the case of Lisbon, this tendency is accompanied by a seemingly increased desire to connect (or re-connect) with the Lusophone world, eventually informing Lisbon’s self-images as an inclusive and multicultural city. In this process, new forms of ethnicity may gain visibility in the marketing of Luso-world music (or world mu- sic as practiced in the Portuguese-speaking countries). At the ho- rizon of imagined cities as ‘transcultural megacities’, music tends to gain agency in the promotion of senses of place and belonging, in and to the city. Keywords Circulation, symbolic ethnicity, emotional communities, invention of tradition, memory of place, transculturalism. * PhD in Sociology at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, As- sociate Researcher at the Instituto de Etnomusicologia, Faculdade de Ciên- cias Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa ([email protected]). Migrações _ #7 _ October 2010 139 Music, city, ethnicity: exploring music scenes in Lisbon Jorge de La Barre The processes of the internationalisation of culture within the space of metropo- lis are increasingly visible.1 Likewise, the values transmitted and reflected by the- se processes (cultural diversity and openness, hybridism, transculturalism,...) are increasingly legible.

These also have been nurturing my interest to the Portuguese-Macanese culture and encouraged me to make a study to explore not only one of the most important cultures in Macau, but also the suzerain of Macau, Portugal. During the life in Portugal, I feel thankful that I gained life experiences which made me grow up a lot and to see how great the world is. This will become my good memory and it will be in my heart forever. I would like to thank for my parents who give me the best support all the time even I stay apart from them so far and they had been waiting for me to finish my studies unconditionally.

  • Considerações Finais
    Considerações Finais O frevo fora criado num momento fortemente caracterizado pela questão da nacionalidade e da identidade cultural, onde não faltaram-lhe ações e tentativa de controle por parte do Estado. Pesquisar a música popular urbana é, de certo modo, inserir-se na tradição que constitui a discussão sobre a cultura nacional. O frevo, como música popular e urbana, carrega em si, embutida na sua intimidade, a questão da identidade em que se vê, depois de significativa negociação, finalmente promovido a símbolo da coletividade brasileira. Observamos que a profusão desse gênero musical se deu concomitantemente ao desenvolvimento da radiofonia, da indústria de gravação e do cinema. Dessa maneira, ele participou da instauração do projeto de urbanização, industrialização e modernização do país. Assim como, ao mesmo tempo que foi por ele legitimado neste processo social. Foi-nos ainda de suma importância nos remeter a determinadas leituras, que consubstanciaram a questão geral da identidade cultural. Refletimos sobre contextos e problemas claramente no domínio da poscolonialidade, porém numa abordagem fundamentalmente de avaliação dos componentes envolvidos na construção da cena musical em foco. Este processo de contextualização histórica e fundamentação nos conduziu a uma espécie de cristalização conceitual, o qual não tinha um espaço vivencial próprio, no sentido em que não se encaixava no espaço que entretanto o gerou. Não se trata de rejeição, mas de um território que não é o espaço onde esse passado faz ainda sentido. “Assim as histórias e as tradições do passado adquirem outros valores porque a casa que os abriga tem agora uma nova forma e uma outra arquitetura” (Bhabha, 1994, p.

    British Forum for Ethnomusicology 2018 Annual Conference International Centre for Music Studies Newcastle University Armstrong Building Newcastle University 12-15th April 2018 https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/bfe2018/ BFE Annual Conference, Newcastle University, #NCLBFE [blank page] 2 https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/bfe2018/ BFE Annual Conference, Newcastle University, #NCLBFE Welcome from the BFE Chair, Dr Barley Norton On behalf of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our Annual Conference at Newcastle University. With the profound socio-political ruptures that are currently taking place around the world, the conference theme of Europe and post-Brexit Ethnomusicologies provides a timely opportunity to reflect on changes in ethnomusicology and global musical life. The International Centre for Music Studies at Newcastle, which is known for its public engagement and radical thinking, is a perfect location to explore some of the most pressing issues of our time. From panels on music, migration and the looming prospect of post-Brexit Europe, to the keynote on “Ethnomusicology in the 21st century”, the conference will enable us to consider the socio-political engagement of our scholarship in the academy and beyond. In addition to the conference theme, proposers have been invited to submit research in any area of ethnomusicology, and the conference programme amply reflects the diverse interests of the BFE, from a panel on ethnomusicology and parenting to reflections on creative practice and musical analysis. BFE conferences are also a chance for us to socialise and make music together and the stimulating programme of panels is complemented by a host of other exciting events.

  • Chinese Musical Instruments Within and Beyond Museum Display: the Case of the Museum of Macau in Lisbon
    nova série | new series 4/2 (2017), pp. 309-326 ISSN 2183-8410 http://rpm-ns.pt Chinese Musical Instruments Within and Beyond Museum Display: The Case of the Museum of Macau in Lisbon Enio de Souza INET-md Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas Universidade Nova de Lisboa Centro Científico e Cultural de Macau, Lisboa [email protected] Resumo O Centro Científico e Cultural de Macau (CCCM) em Lisboa é uma instituição pública sob a alçada do Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior. O museu associado a este centro destina-se a apresentar a história e cultura de Macau a públicos fora da República Popular da China, possuindo uma colecção permanente que abrange um período de cerca de 7000 anos de história da arte chinesa e de Macau. O museu integra uma das colecções mais completas de instrumentos musicais chineses da Península Ibérica. Esta colecção única é usada como elemento expositivo e, para além dessa função, é parte integrante dos workshops de instrumentos musicais, como exemplo paradigmático da ideia inovadora de ‘object handling in heritage context’ (CHATTERJEE 2008). Desde a sua fundação (1999), o Centro Científico e Cultural de Macau em Lisboa tem vindo a organizar diversas actividades académicas e educativas, cujo principal foco tem permanecido a promoção da mútua compreensão entre Ásia e Europa, nomeadamente através da organização dos ‘workshops de instrumentos chineses’. A música foi escolhida pelo departamento de educação do museu do CCCM por ser um dos mais importantes marcadores da identidade de um grupo, assim como uma das formas mais estimulantes de compreender a cultura do outro e de promover o diálogo entre Ásia e Europa.
