Art imitates life: The depressive soundscape of northeast China [Eye on Dongbei series]

Research output: Other OutputsRGC 64A - Other outputs

Abstract

Hong Kong academic Dino Ge Zhang explores the regional soundscape shaped by art forms like errenzhuan (二人转) and hanmai (喊麦) in northeast China. He discusses how a sense of ambiguous nostalgia emerged from the tension between declining folk culture and the perceived inertia of a population struggling to adapt to the rise of capitalism since the 1990s.
