How the Chinese pop of the 1960s participated in a global musical revolution
What did Mao’s China have to do with the music of youth revolt in the 1960s? And how did the mambo, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan sound on the front lines of the Cold War in Asia? In Circuit Listening, Andrew F. Jones listens in on the 1960s beyond the West, and suggests how transistor technology, decolonization, and the Green Revolution transformed the sound of music around the globe.
Focusing on the introduction of the transistor in revolutionary China and its Cold War counterpart in Taiwan, Circuit Listening reveals the hidden parallels between music as seemingly disparate as rock and roll and Maoist anthems. It offers groundbreaking studies of Mandarin diva Grace Chang and the Taiwanese folk troubadour Chen Da, examines how revolutionary aphorisms from the Little Red Book parallel the Beatles’ “Revolution,” uncovers how U.S. military installations came to serve as a conduit for the dissemination of Anglophone pop music into East Asia, and shows how consumer electronics helped the pop idol Teresa Teng bring the Maoist era to a close, remaking the contemporary Chinese soundscape forever.
Circuit Listening provides a multifaceted history of Chinese-language popular music and media at midcentury. It profiles a number of the most famous and best loved Chinese singers and cinematic icons, and places those figures in a larger geopolitical and technological context. Circuit Listening’s original research and far-reaching ideas make for an unprecedented look at the role Chinese music played in the ’60s pop musical revolution.

当“高快硬响”的语录歌不断“征引”，用声音塑造社会主义主体，我们总是想象它是在一套封闭的媒介系统或巡回线路中发挥作用。实际上，它可能只是一种比彼时西方流行的摇滚乐更为政治的形式。被牵扯进冷战的地缘政治格局的台湾，发展出了发达的盗版工业，这使亚洲列岛被缝补进了西方与日本的大都会文化和音乐“巡演”。标志着两岸对峙的心战墙，传送着宣传声音独特的音色(Timbre)，也将邓丽君的靡靡之音引入我们的视野。收…
是否存在一种1960s的音乐？讨论冷战格局下两岸的音乐circuits- transnational paths along which migrants, media, and music flow within and across geographical borders. 主要看了内地音乐的部分（第二章和第六章）。第二章通过语录歌写毛时代的media infrastructure, ra…
精彩精彩，每读一章都拍案叫绝，无论是对genre作为全球市场流通容器的反思还是在全球冷战视野下以媒介这一高度技术化的切入点观照60年代多种听觉现象，历史化与理论化兼得。如果说前面一个明星Grace Zhang和语录歌的分析还因为有些依赖隐喻连接而显得过于“轻巧”，后几章对台湾盗版、民歌运动前身以及邓丽君的分析真的非常扎实，技术到位且修辞漂亮。理想之作，珍藏学习。
将60年代被视为“封闭”的中国放在一个全球语境之中，将东方红和披头士放在同样的历史语境下进行比较。。。
