Transnational Migration and Culture : A Comparative Study on the Dissemination and Changes of Traditional Chinese Music and Performing Arts among Chinese Overseas

在过去十年研究的基础上，作为比较研究，（1）对伦敦华人社区和唐人街的文化事件进行了实地调查。唐人街自20世纪80年代中期开始重建，成为中国移民的信息和商业中心，也是伦敦的一个旅游景点。这里的新年庆祝活动是中国移民与当地人民互动的节日，已成为政府间文化交流的一项大型常规活动。由此可见，中国的崛起对伦敦华人社会产生了重大影响。(2)在中国文化网络研究方面，以九州的华人社会为研究对象，分析这一新的制度，不仅有助于加深对日本华人社会的认识，也为华人社会的理论化提供了新的思路。此外，笔者还从全球化背景下的文化传播与转型的角度对日本新移民音乐传播进行了研究，旨在为全球文化运动提供一种新的理论分析模式。

Based on studies conducted over the past decade, as for a comparative study, (1) A fieldwork research has been conducted on the cultural events in the Chinese communities and Chinatown in London. The Chinatown has been reconstructed since the middle of 1980's and become the centre of information and business for Chinese immigrants as well as a tourist attraction in London. The New Year celebration here is a festival for Chinese immigrants to interact with local people, has become a big regular event of cultural exchange between the governments. It shows that a significant impact brought about by the China's rise to the ethnic Chinese community in London. (2) As for studies on Chinese culture network, Chinese societies in Kyusyu has been examined, an analysis of the new institution will not only help forge a better understanding of the Chinese in Japan, but also shed new lights for a theorization of ethnic Chinese communities. In addition, I have studied the spread of music by the new immigrants in Japan from the perspective of cultural transmission and transformations in the context of globalization, aiming at to provide a new theoretical analysis model for the global cultural movement.
