Abstract

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.

Abstract

"The work brings together contributions from the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Economics and Finance (ORE), a digital resource, in a self-contained print edition on Health Economics. The articles provide an in-depth review of recent developments across the full range of Health Economics. The content plan has been created within four broad themes: population health, global health, health systems and evaluation. These span all aspects of modern health economics research. Contributors have been selected who are at the forefront of research in their nominated topics and the Encyclopedia brings together around 150 of the leading contemporary researchers in the field. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Health Economics provides a definitive resource of foundational essays in this area and will bring the latest research in Health Economics to an audience of general economists. In addition, it is worth noting that health economists work alongside other disciplines in global health, health services research and health technology assessment and reach a broad audience in health policy. Work by health economists is widely read outside economics and having a self-contained print edition will make the material accessible to this audience as well."
