Event overview
Since the 2000s, digital music economies have developed most dramatically in Korea and China, after CDs were first introduced in Japan during the early 1980s. East Asian digital companies and platforms, along with producers, performers and fans, have become ever more prominent within the global production and circulation of music.
In the first of a series of seminars on the East Asian Music Industries, Zhang Qian will explain how the music industry in China has grown rapidly in the era of digital distribution. Focusing on how social media platforms and data are central to popular music fandom, she will discuss how fans, idols and official government media use discourses of patriotism when contributing to the success of Chinese pop music idols.
Dr. Zhang Qian is Associate Professor of Musicology in the School of Music and Recording Arts, Communication University of China, Beijing.
Keith Negus will chair, and introduce the research series.
