Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1900-talet förändrades musiklivets villkor i grunden. Bruket av nya elektroniska ljudmedier innebar att musik kunde framföras utan musikers faktiska närvaro. En av konsekvenserna var att ”levande musik” myntades som begrepp. Såväl fackföreningar som proggaktivister och kulturpolitiker ville försvara den levande musiken mot dess förmenta motsats, ”mekanisk musik”. As indicated by the subtitle – “legislation, sound media and the defence of live music” – this thesis explores the intersections of politics and technology, economy and aesthetics. It concerns the changing preconditions for the commodification of music during the 20th century, caused by the use of loudspeakers and radio broadcasting, primarily in Sweden. It was around 1930 that “live music” (leva

This paper examines mass media coverage of Taiwanese high-level political visits to Japan and critically analyzes the phenomenon of nostalgic repetition as a narrative formula in such sources.
