Sun Jung - Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption: Yonsama, Rain, Oldboy, K-Pop Idols

TransAsia: Screen Cultures

Edited by Koichi IWABUCHI and Chris BERRY

What is Asia? What does it mean to be Asian? Who thinks they are Asian? How is Asian-ness produced? In Asias transnational public space, many kinds of cross-border connections proliferate, from corporate activities to citizen-to-citizen linkages, all shaped by media from television series to action films, video piracy, and a variety of subcultures facilitated by internet sites and other computer-based cultures. Films are packaged at international film festivals and marketed by DVD companies as Asian, while the descendents of migrants increasingly identify themselves as Asian, then turn to Asian screen cultures to find themselves and their roots. As reliance on national frameworks becomes obsolete in many traditional disciplines, this series spotlights groundbreaking research on transborder, screen-based cultures in Asia.
