- Summary:
- In this first book-length study of chindon-ya, Marié Abe explores its social, historical, political, and affective resonances. Chindon-ya, dating back to the 1840s, refers to ostentatiously costumed street musicians who publicize a business by parading through neighborhood streets. By examining how this seemingly outdated means of advertisement has recently gained traction alter decades of inactivity, this book challenges Western conceptions that have normalized the way we think about sound, space, and listening subjects, and advances interdisciplinary scholarship on how social fragmentation is experienced and negotiated in post-industrial societies.
