Description:
The meaning of ‘New Economy’, especially within the Asian context, is still vague. However, it has effectively ruled our everyday life at least since 2000s. The advent of New Economy has broken down the wall between culture and economy, art and commerce, work and leisure, and moreover, co-optation and resistance. This workshop investigates whether the rule of New Economy signifies the pure and simple victory of ‘cultural capitalism’ or it opens another possibility of new practices along with new subjectivities.
The workshop focuses at popular music and music industry in Asia. More specifically, the papers in the workshop investigates new subjectivities associated with new “technoscape” and “mediascape”. Some of them deal with critical inquiry about cultural industries (music industry) that is under big bang by the development of digital techonology, others are about the research on subcultural or post-subcultural realities. Hopefully, they can contribute strengthening and enriching inter-Asian perspective, which has attended heterogeneous movements in the region.
