 Popular Music as a Product›on of Culture and Confuc›us›an V›ew of Art: Confucius’s Message Becomes Concrete By KirmizigülBillur Ulger ()
Anadolu University Journal of Social Sciences, 2002, vol. 2, issue 2, 1-38 Abstract: The connection which Confucius, the greatest philosopher and political theorist in Chinese history, made between social welfare and music production has been taken as the starting point of this paper. Beginning with the industrialization movements in 1950s, many rules, values and believes have changed, new pleasures and consumption types have occurred. In this sense, popular culture products have become irresistable in comparison with high culture products. In developing, capitalist countries such as Turkey, people are interestingly consoled and delighted with popular music products which perform their rebelliousness against dominating classes, and which include social injustice. However, art is considered, actually, to be a road taken for people’s happiness and development. Therefore it is possible to say that in most of today’s societies, the perception of the concept “art†has totally changed.
