Since the late 1990s South Korea has emerged as a new center for
the production of transnational popular culture - the first
instance of a major global circulation of Korean popular culture in
history. Why popular (or not)? Why now? What does it mean socially,
culturally and politically in a global context? This edited
collection considers the Korean Wave in a global digital age and
addresses the social, cultural and political implications in their
complexity and paradox within the contexts of global inequalities
and uneven power structures. The emerging consequences at multiple
levels - both macro structures and micro processes that influence
media production, distribution, representation and consumption -
deserve to be analyzed and explored fully in an increasingly global
media environment. This book argues for the Korean Wave's double
capacity in the creation of new and complex spaces of identity that
are both enabling and disabling cultural diversity in a digital
cosmopolitan world. The Korean Wave combines theoretical
perspectives with grounded case studies in an up-to-date and
accessible volume ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate
students of Media and Communications, Cultural Studies, Korean
Studies and Asian Studies.
