  2. Cultural Identity: Different types * National * Linguistic * Generational * Ethnic * Religious * Other “subgroups” (called “communities” in the Indiana standards)

  3. Cultural Diversity Change Over time Music as a reflection of culture Music as a way of disseminating, instilling, teaching cultural values (within a society, community)

  4. Indiana Standards 4. Relationships among the: a. Perspectives: meanings, attitudes, values and ideas b. Pratices: patterns of social interaction c. Products: material manifestations (3 P’s) 5. Use target language to learn (content) 6. Use digital media and authentic resources 7. “Understand the nature of language and culture through comparisons” 5 C’s of world language instruction: communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, communities.

  5. Music and Social-Political Movements Music to Move People: Move to action (mobilize) Move hearts & emotions Related Themes: Nie Er Music & film 1959 film Representing change (real & potential) Communicating (instilling) values & meaning National Anthems Nationalism & internationalism

  6. (Clip from Nie Er shown during the presentation cannot be embedded in this powerpoint) A partial clip of this scene is available on Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehkFdOzozQ0 At Red Cross Station (Japanese invasion, 1930s). Song & Dance Troupe: “What shall we sing?” Man: “We’ll sing our most popular song” [”Peach Blossom River”; a popular entertainment piece about love, pretty women, etc.] . . . Nie Er [composer & social-political activist]: “We’ll sing something else.” [Sings a rousing rendition of “La Marseillaise” in Chinese.] Leftist musicians and artists enter: “That’s a good song, but China needs its own ‘La Marseillaise’.” [By the end of the film, Nie Er has composed a theme song for another Chinese feature film of the 1930s; that song went on to become the Chinese national anthem.]

  7. In other words, the most “patriotic” and “national” songs are not always what we might expect them to be. Also available: “Song of the Civil Revolution,” 1927 (sung to the tune of Frere Jacques) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JST-TlOTRec
