Resounding Taiwan
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-52942-0 (ISBN)
Contributors to this edited volume explore how music shapes life — and life shapes music — in Taiwan, focusing on subjects ranging from musical life under Japanese colonial rule (1895–1945) through to the contemporary creations of Indigenous musicians, popular music performance and production, Christian religious music, traditional ritual music and theatre, conceptions about sound and noise, and garbage truck music's role in reducing household waste. The volume’s twelve chapters present diverse approaches to their sounding subjects, some deeply rooted in the methods and concerns explored by Taiwan's first generation of ethnomusicologists. Others employ current social theories.
Presenting a window into the cultural lives of the residents of this multicultural, politically contested island, Resounding Taiwan will appeal to students and scholars of musicology and ethnomusicology, anthropology and Asian studies more widely.
Nancy Guy is a Professor of Music at the University of California, San Diego. Her first book, Peking Opera and Politics in Taiwan won the ASCAP Béla Bartók Award for Excellence in Ethnomusicology. Her second book, The Magic of Beverly Sills was named a "Highly Recommended Academic Title" by Choice. Guy's article, "Flowing down Taiwan's Tamsui River: Towards an Ecomusicology of the Environmental Imagination," (2009) is a foundational text in ecomusicology and was awarded the Rulan Chao Pian Publication Prize.
