In the last four decades,
Chinese yaogun, or rock’n’roll, as acute
observers have pointed out, has been “less a mere adjustment
to leisure than a battlefield on which ideological struggle is waged.” For many yaogunners, it
always means more than just playing music:
yaogun has been and remains a powerful means
for expressing dissent and dissonance. In this talk, Tie Xiao will share with students some
of his own observations on how sonic and
political realities intertwine and interact
in post-Mao China.
Chinese Tidings is sponsored by IU’s Chinese Flagship Center to increase
opportunities for authentic interaction in Chinese.
Simultaneous summary
translations provided throughout the lectures.
