Troubling Genre, Ethnicity And Geopolitics In Taiwanese American Independent Rock Music, Wendy Hsu
Troubling Genre, Ethnicity And Geopolitics In Taiwanese American Independent Rock Music, Wendy Hsu
Wendy Hsu
This paper examines the performances of Taiwanese American Jack Hsu and his New Jersey-based progressive erhu-rock band The Hsu-nami, in transnational contexts fraught by ethnonationalism and race. Through an ethnographic approach, this paper highlights the band's depoliticising practice to deflect the geopolitics across the Taiwan Strait. It also discusses how Hsu adapts the musical and gender ideologies in rock music culture to diffuse racial ideologies surrounding his ethnicity and instrument. Finally, an analysis of the band's deployment of cultural diplomacy discusses pragmatic multiculturalism, a mode that reflects the tension between rock music's ostensibly counter-cultural front and its commercial foundation.

In a small college town in western Virginia, writer Anthony Restivo searches for unmediated honesty through his very public endurance art. In the midst of media attention, misinformation, and his physical struggle to complete a 22-day piece, Restivo creates fleeting moments of intimacy in the town's first known work of performance art.

Between Narrative And Expressive, Fantasy And Melodrama In Bombay Film, Wendy Hsu
Between Narrative And Expressive, Fantasy And Melodrama In Bombay Film, Wendy Hsu
Wendy Hsu
Facing the hegemony of Bombay cinema, an intriguing irony lies in the intersecting point of film’s extreme popularity and its highly formulaic form. To understand this phenomenon, a discussion on the subjectivity of Bollywood1 film spectatorship, rather than the objectivity of cinema as the nation’s collective consciousness (Chakravarty, 1993; Kakar, 1983), is solicited. This paper first marks a fantasy space of differences in which cinematic elements are negotiated: narrative vs. expressive modes; fantasy vs. melodrama forms. Drawing from an Indian gothic classic Mahal (Amrohi, 1949), the paper then seeks to obscure the differentiation between the paradigmatic elements and, lastly, redefines …
