    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

It updates the previous study conducted in 2012, providing a signifcant amount of comparative data to further inform the discussion on the economic, cultural and social value of live music performance in this city. From the time, over one hundred years ago, that the city lent its name to Australia’s frst global music superstar, Dame Nellie Melba, music creation, production and presentation has been at the core of the city’s social and cultural life. Our passion for music was on display in the 1967 when an estimated 200,000 gathered at the Myer Music Bowl to send The Seekers off on their quest for world domination. It was forcefully demonstrated again in 2010 when 20,000 fans, musicians and industry workers took to the streets for the Save Live Australia’s Music (SLAM) rally when ill-considered regulations threatened the viability of our small live music venues. It has been reported1, that live music performance returns $3 in benefts – commercial, civic and individual, for every $1 invested.

  • From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960
    From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960 Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hye-jung Park Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Committee: Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Ph.D., Advisor Ryan T. Skinner, Ph.D. Mitchell B. Lerner, Ph.D. Copyright by Hye-jung Park 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines music in US-Korea relations from 1941 to 1960. Beginning during World War II, the US government disseminated Western classical and American music in Korea. After the war, the United States also gained the confidence of Koreans by supporting Korean traditional music that had been suppressed under Japanese colonial rule. Yet South Koreans were not merely passive recipients of US propaganda. As the Korean War divided Korea into North and South, South Korean officials used music to affirm the anti-Communist alliance between South Korea and the United States. American music spread rapidly in South Korea, contributing to the formation of South Korean identities different from those of the Communist North. By tracing a history of musical relations in the transitional period from the colonial era to the early Cold War, this project emphasizes that US Cold War music propaganda programs were not an entirely new initiative but built on the foundations laid in the 1940s. By demonstrating that a peripheral country used music as a tool for political negotiations with a superpower, this project also expands the horizons of scholarship on music propaganda, which has focused overwhelmingly on US and Soviet interventions in Europe.

  • UNDERSTANDING CHALLENGES to the VICTORIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 Prepared by Dr Catherine Strong and Dr Fabian Cannizzo
    UNDERSTANDING CHALLENGES TO THE VICTORIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 Prepared by Dr Catherine Strong and Dr Fabian Cannizzo December 2020 Contact Dr Catherine Strong School of Media and Communication RMIT University GPO Box 2476 Melbourne VIC 3001 [email protected] Suggested citation: Strong, C. and Cannizzo, F. (2020). Understanding Challenges to the Victorian Music Industry During COVID-19. Melbourne: RMIT University. i Foreword The music industry in Victoria has, like these industries worldwide, been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The approach taken in the state, to use lockdowns to slow and, as of December 2020, stop the spread of the virus, and the identification of live music events as prime sites for the potential spread of the disease, meant that all face-to-face music activities were halted as of mid-March. The Victorian Office for Women and the Victorian Music Development Office (VMDO) commissioned this research at the very outset of the lockdowns with a view to understanding how the pandemic was impacting people in all areas of the music sector, and to examine whether there was a differential impact for different groups, in particular men and women or gender non-conforming people. This research was funded by the Victorian Office for Women and the VMDO. The research would not have been possible without the willingness of people from all areas the music sector in Victoria to contribute their time and knowledge in filling out the survey. We particularly thank those people who took part in the interviews for the project for their honesty and generosity with their time.

  • Images of Life and Learning—A Postmodern Qualitative Study Of
    IMAGES OF LIFE AND LEARNING—A POSTMODERN QUALITATIVE STUDY OF FIVE KOREAN PEOPLE’S PUBLISHED ORAL HISTORY by DAE JOONG KANG (Under the Direction of Sharan B. Merriam) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to understand the influence of the socio-cultural-historical context on learning as it contributes to the construction of people’s lives. In particular, this study examined how the 20th century Korean socio-cultural-historical context and the lifelong learning of Korean people co-construct one another. The following research questions guided the study: (1) What are the patterns of learning activities among the people? (2) What was the socio- cultural-historical context that influenced their life and learning? (3) How did the patterns of learning activities emerge in conjunction with the socio-cultural-historical context? This study analyzed five narratives from the Korean People’s Oral History Series published by the Deep-Rooted Publishing House in Korea. The Series contains life narratives of twenty Korean people who were born between 1898 and 1926. I selected five for this study—Ki- nam (book three, Janggu drummer), Na-sop (book seven, onggi potter), So-shim (book nine, Kanggangsullae performer), Myong-hwan (book eleven, pansori drummer), and Tong-jong-wol (book fifteen, Kayageum player). I used postmodern content analysis that I developed through a critique of various content analysis methods. Postmodern content analysis is concerned with two different kinds of data—source data and assembling data. By using reading and writing as a method of inquiry, I took assembling data notes and analysis notes while I was reading the source data.

    POP CULTURES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN AND SOUTH KOREAN RECORD INDUSTRIES by Kanel Marchand A Thesis Proposal Submitted to the Faculty of College of Business In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2017 Copyright 2017 by Kanel Marchand ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my utmost gratitude to my committee members not only for their guidance and encouragement throughout the research and writing process of this manuscript, but also for the knowledge and support they have provided as professors in the Music Business Administration program. Your service is invaluable. I also wish to thank the Florida Atlantic University staff and faculty, in particular my advisor Dr. Marc Rhorer, for their assistance during my graduate career. iv ABSTRACT Author: Kanel Marchand Title: Pop Cultures: A Comparative Analysis of the American and South Korean Record Industries Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Ira Abrams Degree: Master of Science Year: 2017 As the oldest recording industry in the world, the United States has set industry standards regarding record labels, publishing, live entertainment and music services. Since the beginning of the 20th century, American music has become a staple in worldwide pop culture, spreading to all four corners of the world. Indeed, the U.S. music industry has held the number one position in the ranking of the world’s top 10 largest music markets since its first record label, Columbia Records, was founded in 1887. However, a relatively new genre of music is rapidly taking over the world’s pop music scene: South Korean pop music, otherwise known as K-pop.
