Asian Popular Culture: New, Hybrid, and Alternate Media, edited by
John A. Lent and Lorna Fitzsimmons, is an interdisciplinary study
of popular culture practices in Asia, including regional and
national studies of Japan, China, South Korea, and Australia. The
contributors explore the evolution and intersection of popular
forms (gaming, manga, anime, film, music, fiction, YouTube videos)
and explicate the changing cultural meanings of these media in
historical and contemporary contexts. At this study's core are the
roles popular culture plays in the construction of national and
regional identity. Common themes in this text include the impact of
new information technology, whether it be on gaming in East Asia,
music in 1960s' Japan, or candlelight vigils in South Korea;
hybridity, of old and new versions of the Chinese game Weiqi, of
online and hand-held gaming in South Korea and Japan that developed
localized expressions, or of United States culture transplanted to
Japan in post-World War II, leading to the current otaku (fan boy)
culture; and the roles that nationalism and grassroots and
alternative media of expression play in contemporary Asian popular
culture. This is an essential study in understanding the role of
popular culture in Asia's national and regional identity.
