This book provides perspectives on relationships between Asian
popular culture and a number of major socio-political issues and
movements, including war responsibility, democratization,
globalization, urbanization, modernization, and gender
reconstruction. It consists of studies of film, music, television,
anime, architecture, and computer-mediated communication in China,
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and
Singapore. Themes include the relationships between popular culture
and nationalism, Western social forces and cultural forms,
regionalism, political change, modernity, traditionalism, and
gender identity. The three sections of the book--memory, city,
celebrity--are interlinked in their shared concern with the
socio-political functions of popular culture.
