  • China Pop Love, Patriotism and the State in China’S Music Sphere
    115 CHINA POP LOVE, PATRIOTISM AND THE STATE IN CHINA’S MUSIC SPHERE ANDREAS STEEN Popular culture in China is highly dynamic, involving individuals and private companies, both local and international, as well as state-governed institutions. The mass media and new communication technologies naturally play an impor- tant role in production, selection and dissemination, while also increasing in- teraction with international trends and standards. Sheldon H. Lu underscores popular culture’s importance in today’s China by emphasizing that it is “a dein- ing characteristic of Chinese postmodernity”.1 To him, three factors are crucial, namely it’s potential to undermine the censorship and “hard-line” cultural he- gemony of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its rise as a “major player in the commodiication process,” and “its sugar-coated apoliticism, [which] paciies the masses and represses the memory of China’s political reality” (ibid.). Popular cul- ture, therefore, is the battleground of various ideologies, forces and interests. Its ambivalent and complex entanglement with politics, society and the musical in- dustry is also addressed in the work of other scholars, such as Kevin Latham, who expresses that “understanding Chinese popular culture very often requires care- ful attention to how precisely the state is involved in and related to forms of social and cultural activity and practices. Popular culture does not exist outside of or in contrast to the state but very often in a constant and evolving dialogue with it.”2 This article looks at both conlicts and dialogue in the realm of popular music and attempts to lay out the main contours of China’s current popular music scene.

  • Androgynous Beauty, Virtual Sisterhood Stardom, Fandom, and Chinese Talent Shows Under Globalization Hui Faye Xiao
    5 Androgynous Beauty, Virtual Sisterhood Stardom, Fandom, and Chinese Talent Shows under Globalization hui faye xiao In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes. —Andy Warhol, exhibition catalog (1968) [P]opular culture always has its base in the experiences, the pleasures, the mem- ories, the traditions of the people. Hence, it links with what Mikhail Bakhtin calls “the vulgar”—the popular, the informal, the underside, the grotesque. —Stuart Hall, “What Is Th is ‘Black’ in Black Popular Culture?” (1993) Th ree decades of post-1978 rapid economic growth have made China the world’s second-largest economy. Its 2002 integration into the World Trade Organization further affi rmed its place in the global capitalist order. Th e accelerating marketization and globalization of the Chinese economy have changed every aspect of contemporary Chinese society, including its gender ideology and cultural politics. Transnational capital and cultural fl ows have brought in a variety of imported television programs broad- casting to the single largest national audience in the world. Th e threat of foreign cultural invasion has propelled a reform of the Chinese television broadcasting system that, combined with an emerging Internet culture and regionalization of visual culture, aff ects its youthful audience’s per- ceptions of beauty, gender, and sexuality. In the recent frenzied competition among Chinese television stations in adapting various Euro-American reality shows into localized programs, an arguably fi rst made-in-China idol has been produced. Th e craze for the androgynous beauty of this unlikely new star has spread from mainland China to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and overseas Chinese communities mainly 104 Androgynous Beauty, Virtual Sisterhood | 105 through the medium of the Internet.

  • Modern China's Idols: Heroes, Role Models, Stars and Celebrities
    Modern China’s Idols: Heroes, Role Models, Stars and Celebrities Elaine Jeffreys, University of Technology Sydney This paper examines a virtual commemorative artefact called ‘The Search for Modern China’ to consider the evolution of celebrity in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The website was launched in late September 2009 by Sohu.com, China’s biggest Internet media company, to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the PRC under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on 1 October 1949 (‘Zhuixun xiandai Zhongguo’ 2009). As with other commemorative sites, including ‘60th Anniversary’ (2009) on People’s Daily Online, which is the official media voice of the CCP, the website provides links to webpages that celebrate the history and combined achievements of the Party and ‘the people’ in realizing China today—a modern superpower. Unlike other sixtieth anniversary websites, it incorporates a celebrity section called ‘Evolution of the Idol’ (‘Ouxiang jinhualun’ 2009, hereafter Idol). The Idol website presents a narrative describing the evolution of celebrity in the PRC as shaped by six decades of social change, and shifting along with China’s post–1978 adoption of market-based economic reforms from the collective admiration of socialist heroes towards the alienated adoration of commercial celebrities. Idol subsequently calls on China’s netizens to confirm or challenge this introductory and degenerative account of fame and fandom. Each generational decade of the PRC’s sixty-year history is represented by a webpage containing a statement about the nature of idol worship during that period and images of selected idols. Visitors can click on each image to read PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol.

  • Distinction in China— the Rise of Taste in Cultural Consumption
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Distinction in China— the rise of taste in cultural consumption Gordon C.

Distinction in China—the rise of taste in cultural consumption 3 Abstract This research studies how cultural consumption draws cultural distinctions in the most developed megacities in China. This research examines the pattern of music consumption to examine distinction—which types of music are used, how they are used, who are using them, and what are the sources of those tastes. Although some theories, such as the cultural omnivore account, contend that the rise of contemporary pop culture implies a more open-minded pursuit of taste, this research argues that popular culture draws distinction in new ways.

  • Audience Power in the Production of Talent-Show Stars: China As An
    Sociology Study, May 2015, Vol. 5, No. 5, 391‐402 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2015.05.007 DAVID PUBLISHING Audience Power in the Production of Talent­Show Stars: China as an Example Li Cuia Abstract In China, all types of stars coexist in the country’s star system: party stars, commercialized stars, and talent‐show stars, which influence diverse type audience and have diverse implications. Based on Couldry’s framework (2000) of media power, through in‐depth interviews with media professionals, this study compares the creation of party stars, commercial stars, and talent‐show stars as represented by Li Yuchun. Data show that there was few audience power involved into the production of party stars and commercialized stars. Rather, there was media power involved into the production of party stars and commercialized stars. Meanwhile, this study argues that there was audience‐power influence on Li Yuchun’s rise to stardom, and it provides some details about the manipulations of media institutions that were involved in the creation of this pop star. However, it is difficult to prove that audience power is the main influence on Li’s stardom. The implications of her stardom and this production process on China’s star system and China’s state power are also discussed in this study. Keywords Talent show, stardom, audience power, media power, Chinese popular culture In China, all types of stars coexist in the country’s star agencies after the show were no longer produced. system: party stars, commercialized stars, and Unfortunately, there is a lack of scholarship on this talent-show stars.
