Through the lens of popular music in and from Hong Kong, "Sonic
Multiplicities" examines the material, ideological, and
geopolitical implications of music production and consumption. Yiu
Fai Chow and Jeroen de Kloet draw on rich empirical research and
industry experience to trace the worldwide flow of popular culture
and the people who produce and consume it. In doing so, the authors
make a significant contribution to our understanding of the
political and social roles such circulation plays in today's
world--and in a city under cultural threat in a country whose
prominence is on the rise. Just as important, they clear a new path
for the study of popular music.
This rich collection of essays offers a multi- and
inter-disciplinary discussion of "trans-Asia" approaches from
critical theory, historical studies, cultural studies to film
studies. In doing so the authors lay down the groundwork for a more
inclusive knowledge-production and fruitful transnational
collaboration. The authors engage with the implications of
"trans-Asia" using a range of empirical cases. At the heart of the
book is a desire and attempt to give a grounded understanding of
what "trans-Asia" approaches are by examining human mobilities,
media culture flows and connections across Asia and beyond in four
key aspects: cross-border flows and connections; inter-Asian
comparison and referencing; transnational and de-nationalized
approaches; and cross-border collaboration.
