Combining global, media, and cultural studies, this book analyzes
the success of Hallyu, or the "Korean Wave" in the West, both at a
macro and micro level, as an alternative pop culture globalization.
This research investigates the capitalist ecosystem (formed by
producers, institutions and the state), the soft power of Hallyu,
and the reception among young people, using France as a case study,
and placing it within the broader framework of the 'consumption of
difference.' Seen by French fans as a challenge to Western pop
culture, Hallyu constitutes a material of choice for understanding
the cosmopolitan apprenticeships linked to the consumption of
cultural goods, and the use of these resources to build youth's
biographical trajectories. The book will be relevant to
researchers, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in
sociology, cultural studies, global studies, consumption and youth
studies.
By examining cultural consumption, tastes and imaginaries as a
means of relating to the world, this book describes the effects of
globalization on young people from an aesthetic and cultural
perspective. It employs the concept of aesthetico-cultural
cosmopolitanism to analyse the emergence of an aesthetic openness
to alterity as a new generational "good taste". Aesthetico-Cultural
Cosmopolitanism and French Youth critically examines the
consumption of cultural products and imaginaries that provide
genuine insight into social change, particularly in regards to
young people, who play the largest role in cultural circulation.
This book will be of interest to students and academics across a
wide range of readers, including cultural theorists, and students
engaged in debates on cultural consumption, the globalization of
culture and transnational aesthetic codes.

This book explores disrupted youth cohesion in France within the
context of multiple ongoing global economic, migratory, social,
political, and security-related crises. While these trends can be
observed in numerous Western societies, France provides a unique
case study of various anti-cosmopolitan and anti-Enlightenment
movements shaping youth conditions and reconfiguring relationships
between the individual, the group, and society. The authors
undertook in-depth interviews with French young people between the
ages of 18 to 30 years old to inquire into how they experience
"vivre ensemble" (living together) in a time of rising economic
inequalities and multicultural tensions. Through these findings,
they invite decision-makers, politicians, educators, and parents to
propose a renewed narrative of social cohesion for youth who are
not disillusioned, but deeply on edge.
