This study discusses how People’s Music (1950-2019) in relation to the path of Taiwan’s pop as a discourse has undergone the ‘hostility’, ‘yellow music’, ‘spiritual pollution’, followed by a ‘legitimation’. The paper then identifies the later decline in importance for social critique and the move towards a ‘media & culture’ discourse after 2001. The paper argues that this has involved the binary structure of a feeling of sacred-profane construction, and negotiates its role as a propaganda institute in the dominant discourse of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It reveals the governmentality of the CCP towards foreign cultures. This article problematized the musical discourse of People’s Music as a sociological discourse, in the hope of expanding the direction of cultural sociology. This paper finds that Taiwanese pop has transitioned from the sacred-profane to an acceptable form of media culture, and that its legitimacy has contributed to its gradual absence from People’s Music. |
