East Asian Pop Culture : Analysing the Korean Wave

名人推薦：

""The Korean Wave is one of the most remarkable popular phenomena to have swept East Asia in the past decade. This collection of essays by the region's leading scholars of the phenomenon examines the Korean Wave from the perspectives of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as well as Korea itself. Their multi-layered and sophisticated analysis of the wave's production and consumption, and of the criticisms and resistances it has evoked, makes this book essential reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary East Asian popular culture."" – Tessa Morris-Suzuki, Professor of Japanese History, Australian National University

""Focusing on the world's most talked-about pop phenomenon of the past ten years – the startling success of the Korean Wave – this book is a breakthrough for the serious study of cultural globalization and media region-formation alike. By combining accounts of the political economy of East Asian TV with essays on the transnational reception of and nationalist reactions towards Korean TV dramas, East Asian Pop Culture shows us vividly how to make sense of the links between media policy, celebrity culture, and popular sentiment in our time."" – Meaghan Morris, Chair Professor of Cultural Studies, Lingnan University, Hong Kong
