The Journal Rights article is available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03007766.2011.5679 16 1 The Cultural Politics of Introducing Popular Music into China’s Music Education The Cultural Politics of Introducing Popular Music into China’s Music Education Wai-Chung Ho and Wing-Wah Law Since embarking on its course of economic reform and opening up to the world in the late 1970s, China has moved from a planned economy to a socialist-market economy; the resultant social and cultural changes have been many, and are reflected in the country’s school music curriculum. This paper first introduces the historical background of popular music in the community and in school music in China in the twentieth century. Second, it explores the reform of music education that has, from the turn of the millennium, included popular music in school music education. This is followed by a discussion of the integration of popular music into the school curriculum in terms of how music education and cultural politics are shaped by the social and political relationships between: (i) contemporary cultural and social values and traditional Chinese ideologies; (ii) collectivism and individualism; and (iii) nationalism and globalism.

In the Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese female characters in Japanese films or popular songs were portrayed as obedient and able to speak Japanese, for Chinese women who couldn’t speak Japanese were regarded as a potential threat. Such representations strengthened the image of the ideal Chinese woman, who was gaining pro-Japanese sentiments, typically by becoming acquainted with Japanese soldiers. Chinese actresses and singers gave stage performances, appeared on radio, or released records in Japan, where they sang songs in Japanese. It is noteworthy that they were expected to sing in broken Japanese with a thick accent, i.e., use stereotypical ‘role language’.

    The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs 20 (2005): 66-104. Opiate Addiction and the Entanglements of Imperialism and Patriarchy in Manchukuo, 1932-45 Norman Smith Abstract. In the Japanese colonial state of Manchukuo, opiate addiction was condemned by officials and critics alike. But the state-sponsored creation of a monopoly, opium laws, and rehabilitation programs failed to reduce rates of addiction. Further, official media condemnation of opiate addiction melded with local Chinese-language literature to stigmatise addiction, casting a nega- tive light over the state’s failure to realise its own anti-opiate agenda. Chinese writers were thus transfixed in a complex colonial environment in which they applauded measures to reduce harm to the local population while levelling critiques of Japanese colonial rule. This paper demonstrates how the Chinese- language literature of Manchukuo did not simply parrot official policies. It also delegitimised Japanese rule through opiate narratives that are gendered, consistently negative, and more critical of the state than might be expected in a colonial literature. …This sacrifice is truly terrifying You’ve turned your life’s blood to mud The price is far too high. If it were your lover You’d have to let it go. It goes without saying that your enemy/lover Is also my enemy/lover… Jie yan ge [Get Off Opium Song]1 In 1942, Li Xianglan (b. 1920), the most famous entertainer in the Japanese colonial state of Manchukuo (1932-45), sang the Jie yan ge to decry the “truly terrifying” cost of the “enemy/lover” Norman Smith is Assistant Professor of History at University of Guelph.

  • Hao Jingban Solo Exhibition 27 November 2018 – 12 January 2019
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “Uninvited Guests” – Hao Jingban solo exhibition 27 November 2018 – 12 January 2019 Opening Reception: 24 November 2018, Saturday, 5-6:30pm Artist will be present Venue: Blindspot Gallery (15/F, Po Chai Industrial Building, 28 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong) Opening Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm (Sunday and Monday by appointment only); closed on public holidays Hao Jingban’s first solo exhibition at Blindspot Gallery — “Uninvited Guests” – will feature three new video works from the artist’s most recent project using the Manchukuo of the 1930s-40s as background. The artist conducts historical investigation, archival research, field study and personal interviews, tracing back to the propaganda, drama and documentary films, as well as related figures, from the period of the Manchukuo Film association. By weaving real and fictional narratives in video, reenactments and live performances, Hao explores the politicalness of visual language and the subjectivity of interpretation, revealing the power dynamics, border geopolitics and conflicting identities behind these performative mediums. Forsaken Landscapes is a work integrating live performance and videos, based on several films selected and edited by the artist. These moving images include documentary and propaganda films made in the 1940-50s about Manchukuo, Dersu Uzala, a Soviet-Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa in 1975, and more. The Northeastern China has always shifted in the current of history: from a wild land full of aspirations, to a battlefield where bravery and despondence coexisted, to the “black-soil earth” that symbolised the Socialist spirit of agricultural and industrial expansion, to the slow decline of the “Northeastern” region as a whole.

  • Cross-Dressing and Culture in Modern Japan
    ISSN: 1500-0713 ______________________________________________________________ Article Title: Cross-Dressing and Culture in Modern Japan Author(s): Ma Yuxin Source: Japanese Studies Review, Vol. VII (2002), pp. 21-43 Stable URL: https://asian.fiu.edu/projects-and-grants/ japan-studies-review/journal-archive/volume-vi-2002/ yuxin-cross-dressing.pdf CROSS-DRESSING AND CULTURE IN MODERN JAPAN Ma Yuxin University of Minnesota In her Vested Interests, Marjorie Garber studies the role of cross- dressing in relation to culture, and finds that “cross-dressing is not only found within representations of the primal scene, but also in itself represents a primal scene.”1 She argues that cross-dressing is not only a constituent of culture, but also a “displacement”—the anxiety of economic or cultural dislocation, the anticipation or recognition of “otherness” as loss. In other words, she argues the phenomenon of cross-dressing demonstrates the cross-dressers’ agency to both construct and deconstruct culture. Turning my eyes to the scholars reflecting on modern Japan, I find that although many historians have paid attention to the cross-dressing phenomenon in their respective researches, they tend to regard cross- dressing as a representation of something else.
