ABSTRACT

This paper aims to create a musical interpretation of the emotional solidarity set in cultural globalization, considering the issue of “aural modernity.” Conventional concepts of ‘public sphere’ and nationalist discourse make it difficult to properly identify a deterritorialized domain of discourse, what Arjun Appadurai called “diasporic public sphere” and “community of sentiment” in which imagination through electronic media works, in a 21st century cultural situation where globalization is accelerating. The paper tries to show that the global cultural phenomenon has been appearing in a proactive and clear manner related to music, through the ‘aural communities’ formed by sound reproduction technology. Looking back on the history of popular music since the 20th century, group identity such as ethnicity has gone through a constant process of appropriation and re-appropriation, but has been neither trapped in the domain of a single nation-state nor has it been completely homogeneous as the imperial.
