ABSTRACT

In this paper, I had views on the need that go through the process of ‘emotionally’ treatment Manchurian image that remains in the people’s memory, in order that the place of Manchuria anchored in the minds of the public and moved their heart, and so I traced an aspect that ‘Manchuria’ coexist with ‘emotion’ of contemporaries. This work was carried out mainly by analyzing Manchurian pop material released since 1937. To see an unique aspects of pop music, we have to capture the curvature of existence that it coexists with propaganda mechanism. This gap shows a ‘contradictory zones’ that the existence of contemporary do not fully agree with the cultural policy of authorities, at the same time showing that it can’t be homogenized as a propaganda mechanism. In that popular music is the genre that it holds a myriad of human emotions, it is closed to an appearance of Manchuria which a view from above or a statistics as a whole can not embrace. In this process, it is not important that pop music does not matter how much reflects an integrity of existence. When we go by the path of pop music, we would know that the memories of the Manchurian is close to collage composed of pieces. The ‘emotional’ made a memory of Manchuria as a piece of collage, travelling through a vague image of a memory. The reason to think beyond the superficial phenomenon through collage is thanks to that the emotion had detected whether the ‘other place’ just reached is truly heterotopia.
