Originating in Japan early in the 1970s as a simple sing-along
technology, karaoke has become a hybrid media form designed to
integrate mass-mediated popular music, video images, computer
graphics, and the live musical performance of its human users. Not
only has karaoke become a multimillion-dollar entertainment
industry, its varied uses have also evolved into diverse popular
cultural and social practices among many people around the world.
Based on a two-year ethnographic study, this book offers a
penetrating analysis of how karaoke is used in the expression,
maintenance, and (re)construction of social identity as part of the
Chinese American experience. It also explores the theoretical
implications of interaction between the media audience and karaoke
as both an electronic communication technology and a cultural
practice.
