内容简介
······

In China, a nation where the worlds of politics and art are closely linked, Western classical music was considered during the cultural revolution to be an imperialist intrusion, in direct conflict with the native aesthetic. In this revealing chronicle of the relationship between music and politics in twentieth-century China, Richard Kraus examines the evolution of China's ever-changing disposition towards European music and demonstrates the steady westernization of Chinese music. Placing China's cultural conflicts in global perspective, he traces the lives of four Chinese musicians and reflects on how their experiences are indicative of China's place at the furthest edge of an expanding Western international order.

基本类属于“不忍卒读”

1989年的书，有点老。有些资料有问题，涉及古典音乐的自律性vs社会性和中国社会阶层分析的框架似乎也太简单，中国和西方古典音乐演出本身的很多比较也有点肤浅，但作者对现象的观察还算敏锐。在“西乐在当代中国”主题仍能算essential reading吧。

逗呢么。。。生搬硬套

又读了一遍，发现有些政治学者太沉迷于政治八卦……另外，“colonization/colonial”这么烫嘴吗？很多政治学者似乎内化了社达世界观，权力关系只是“weak/strong”而不谈正义与否。批评很多西方人“condescending”，其实很多处居高临下而不自知。说句刻薄的，总声称“我们西方的古典音乐”，估计同样傲慢的“老欧洲”会冷笑一声：你们美国有啥拿得出手的古典音乐吗？
