Audiencing in China: Foreign Rock Musicians’ Perceptions of Difference and Sameness

Horlor, Samuel

Abstract

This article reports on perceptions of audiencing – the active roles of witnessing and validating involving physical expressivity – raised by a selection of foreign musicians in relation to their experiences of performing rock and related genres in China. It highlights the connections between embodied dimensions of face-to-face musical experiences and the lenses of national difference and sameness bound up in debates over the colonial implications of “intercultural” musical encounters.
