Circuit listening : Chinese popular music in the global 1960s / Andrew F. Jones Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2020.
Call No: 751.0 (5) JONAuthor: Jones, Andrew F. Edition: 2020Place: MinneapolisPublisher: University of Minnesota PressPubDate: 2020PhysDes: ix, 274 pages : illustratedSubject: CHINOISE, LA (FR, Jean-Luc Godard, 1967) ; CITY OF SADNESS, A [ ; TAIWAN ; DYLAN, BOB ; MUSIC IN FILMS ; SHAW BROTHERS Summary: 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. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781517902070Contents: Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction.

Dont look back / by Keith Beattie London: A BFI Book published by Palgrave, 2016.
Call No: 79DON BEAAuthor: Beattie, Keith Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: A BFI Book published by PalgravePubDate: 2016PhysDes: 87 pages : illustrations ; 19 cmSeries: BFI film classicsSubject: MUSICIANS IN FILMS ; DOCUMENTARIES ; CINEMA-DIRECT ; DYLAN, BOB ; PENNEBAKER, D. A. ; DONT LOOK BACK (US, D.A. Pennebaker, 1967) Summary: "The award-winning film Dont Look Back (1967) captures Bob Dylan on tour and on the cusp of change in 1965. Dylan was rapidly shedding his image as a folk musician and being reborn as a rock persona – and D. A. Pennebaker was there to record this fascinating transformation.
This insightful book charts the ways in which Pennebaker revised aspects of observational 'direct cinema', a style of film-making that he helped to pioneer, in order to represent in innovative ways Dylan's onstage performances and backstage actions. Keith Beattie's perceptive and nuanced analysis explains the relationship between 'pose' and the performative presentation of 'persona',
which forms the basis of the film's portrayal, and explores Pennebaker's relationship with Dylan in the film-making process. In doing so, the book highlights many remarkable moments from Dont Look Back and demonstrates how this landmark film eschewed the informationalism of the documentary form, revealing a captivating portrait of its beguiling subject" -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 9781844577613Contents: -- acknowledgments -- prologue: on a prologue -- 1 Portraiture, Performance and Collusion -- 2 Screen Test -- 3 Hanging Out -- 4 `You Don't Need a Weatherman' -- 5 Casting a Spell -- afterimages -- notes -- credits --

Most of these people have been interviewed so many times their answers had been turned to stone. Interviewers, too, are icon builders, and ask the same questions over and over. Celebreties, despite fame, are struggling to maintain their own living voices. It is Worrell's special gift as an interviewer and writer to hold up a mirror to the most closely held of reflections. Icons reads like a collection of finely honed short storie and raises the craft of celebrity reporting to the finest journalism." -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 0871133067Donation: Donated by Simon WincerContents: Author's note -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction by Otto Friedrich -- Madonna is her given name -- The Eternal Childhood of Steven Spielberg -- Steve Martin in color -- Plain-wrap superstar Paul Newman -- Nastassia Kinski: wild child -- Bob Dylan down executioner's row -- David Lean on the far horizon -- The dark side of George Lucas -- Very very Bette Midler -- Oliver Stone goes to war -- Michael Jackson in Never-Never Land.
