Abstract [en]

With the trend of globalization and opening-up of China in the late 1980s, black metal emerged in China in the late 90s and then became a genre around 2000. As a music genre spread from the West, black metal is constantly evolving to adjust the gaze of authenticity and localization in the Chinese context. Also, drawing upon the conflict and fusion of the global spectacle and local discourse, the unique Chinese narratives are gradually formed in the Chinese black metal scene today. On this basis, this presentation plans to interpret the embodiments of Chinese identity in Chinese black metal praxis, and discuss its approaches, narratives, characteristics and so on through discourse analysis. By disclosing the themes of nature, supernatural, nation, and local image that Chinese black metal is borrowing, this presentation discloses the relationship between Chinese black metal and Chinese culture, society, tradition and authority, then explore their interplays and corresponding embodiments in the praxis. Finally, this study hopes to fill in the ethnographic study of Chinese black metal, and provides clues to the theoretical and empirical development of the global black metal scene.
