  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in ‘C’ Major (1879 to 2010)

For the full text of this licence, please go to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in ‘C’ Major (1879 to 2010) By Mengyu Luo A Doctoral thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements For the award of Doctor of Philosophy Loughborough University 15th March © by Mengyu Luo (2013) 1 Abstract Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is a fascinating institution. It was first founded in 1879 under the name of ‘Shanghai Public Band’ and was later, in 1907, developed into an orchestra with 33 members under the baton of German conductor Rudolf Buck. Since Mario Paci—an Italian pianist—became its conductor in 1919, the Orchestra developed swiftly and was crowned ‘the best in the Far East’ 远东第一 by a Japanese musician Tanabe Hisao 田边尚雄 in 1923. At that time, Shanghai was semi-colonized by the International Settlement and the French Concession controlled by the Shanghai Municipal Council and the French Council respectively. They were both exempt from local Chinese authority. The Orchestra was an affiliated organization of the former: the Shanghai Municipal Council. When the Chinese Communist Party took over mainland China in 1949, the Orchestra underwent dramatic transformations. It was applied as a political propaganda tool performing music by composers from the socialist camp and adapting folk Chinese songs to Western classical instruments in order to serve the masses.

  • Guangzhou Opera House Zaha Hadid Pdf
    Guangzhou opera house zaha hadid pdf Continue The Guangzhou Opera House is a structure that rises and falls at the foot of Zhujiang Boulevard, reinforcing Guangzhou as one of Asia's cultural centers. Uniting the two adjacent sites of proposed museum and metropolitan activities, haixinsha tourist park island is complementary and forms a dominant riverside focus for visitors. From the park in the center of Zhujiang Boulevard, the Opera House prepares a visual foreplay for Tourist Park Island. Looking from the river, Zhujiang's New Town towers provide a dramatic backdrop for the Opera House and provide a unified view of the site's civic and cultural buildings. An approach walkway is cut from the landscape - an inner street starting from the proposed Museum site on the opposite side of the central boulevard and leading to the Opera House. A café, bar, restaurant and retail facilities are embedded on one side of the promenade. Visitors arriving by car or bus take the north side of Huajiu Road at a drop point, while service vehicles reach the Opera House and Theatre buildings at both ends of the same road. The Opera House has VIP access from the western border, facing Huaxia Road. Guangzhou Opera House / Zaha Hadid Architects © Iwan Baan + 30Architects:Zaha Hadid ArchitectsProject Director: Woody K.T.

  • (Re)Production of Identity Through High-Cultural Consumption
    TO APPLAUD OR NOT TO APPLAUD: GOVERNANCE AND THE (RE)PRODUCTION OF IDENTITY THROUGH HIGH-CULTURAL CONSUMPTION by Fang Xu A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2010 © Fang Xu, 2010 Abstract This research investigates high-cultural consumption in urban China during the last decade, looking in particular at attendance of Western classical music concerts. By studying the audiences, I intend to explore the reasons behind the popularity of this cultural consuming practice in a market economy with Chinese characteristics. Situated in Shanghai, a 'global city’ in making, I also view this phenomenon from a post-colonial perspective – given the city’s semi-colonial history in the early 20th century. In this paper, I try to bridge Foucaultian governmentality in the sense of self-cultivation and governmental intervention in the cultural market, with Bourdieu’s capital conversions by illustrating how urbanites in Shanghai appropriate high-cultural consumption in the process of their identity (re)production. I argue that Shanghairen’s attendance at, and interest in, Western classical music concerts is an epitome of the local’s response or coping mechanism when encountering the ‘modern’ global in its historical and contemporary forms. This cultural consumption practice promoted by the municipal government – based on its manipulation of Shanghairen’s aspiration towards the modern West – in reality contributes to the formation of both the local residents’ identities, and the urban culture. Furthermore, the appreciation of Western classical music concerts closes up the perceived distance between Shanghai and the advanced West, meanwhile, enlarges the ‘quality’ (suzhi) gap between Shanghairen and people from the rest of China.

Thus the city Axis extends to 25km from the original 7.8km. That’s unique in the world urban construction history. In the past hundred years, radical changes within human history and society have helped to propagate biennales; and as it stands now, there are more than three hundred of them taking place all over the world. It is worth noting, however, that with the end of the cold-war era and the integration of the global economy, the concept of “nation-state” has itself been taking a less significant role. Biennales, in turn, have become less concerned with national identity and more closely resemble competitions between individual cities.
