Over recent decades South Korea’s vibrant and distinctive
populist culture has spread extensively throughout the world. This
book explores how this "Korean wave" has also made an impact in
North Korea. The book reveals that although South Korean media have
to be consumed underground and unofficially in North Korea, they
are widely watched and listened to. The book examines the ways in
which this is leading to popular yearning in North Korea for
migration, defecting to the South or for people to just become more
like South Koreans. Overall, the book demonstrates that the soft
power of the Korean wave is having an undermining impact on the
hard, constraining cultural climate of North Korea.
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.
This book explores the transnational mobility, everyday life and
digital media use of childcare workers living and working abroad.
Focusing specifically on Filipina, Indonesian, and Sri Lankan
nannies in Europe, it offers insights as to the causes and
implications of women's mobility, using data drawn from
ethnographic research examining transnational migration, work
experiences, family, and relationships. While drawing attention to
the hidden, largely invisible and marginalized lives of these
women, this research reveals the ways in which digital media,
especially the use of mobile phones and the Internet, empower them
but also continue to reinforce existing power relations and
inequalities. Drawing on a wide range of perspectives from media
and communications, sociology, cultural studies and anthropology,
the book combines theoretical perspectives with grounded case
studies.
This book explores the unstudied nature of diaspora among young
Korean, Japanese and Chinese women living and studying in the West.
Why do women move? What are the actual conditions of their
transnational lives? How do they make sense of their transnational
lives through the experience of the media? Are they becoming
cosmopolitan subjects? Exploring the key questions within their
particular socio-economic and cultural contexts, this book analyzes
the contradictions of cosmopolitan identity formation and
challenges the general assumptions of cosmopolitanism. It considers
the highly visible, fastest growing, yet little studied phenomenon
of women's transnational migration and the role of the media in
everyday life, offering detailed empirical data on the nature of
the women's diaspora. Drawing on a wide range of perspectives from
media and communications, sociology, cultural studies and
anthropology, the book provides an empirically grounded and
theoretically insightful investigation into this evolving
phenomenon.
This book explores people's everyday experience of the media in
Asian countries in confrontation with huge social change and
transition and the need to understand this phenomenon as it
intersects with the media. It argues for the centrality of the
media to Asian transformations in the era of globalization. The
profusion of the media today, with new imaginations, new choices
and contradictions, generates a critical condition for reflexivity
engaging everyday people to have a resource for the learning of
self, culture and society in a new light. Media culture is creating
new connections, new desires and threats, and the identities of
people are being reworked at individual, national, regional and
global levels. Within historically specific social conditions and
contexts of the everyday, the chapters seek to provide a diversity
of experiences and understandings of the place of the media in
different Asian locations. This book considers the emerging
consequences of media consumption in people's everyday life at a
time when the political, socio-economic and cultural forces by
which the media operate are rapidly globalizing in Asia.

Korea is currently witnessing huge social change with unprecedented
divorce rates and the disintegration of the traditional family
system. Fusing audience research and ethnography, "Women,
Television and Everyday Life in Korea" presents a compelling
account of women's changing lives and identities in relation to the
impact of the most popular media culture in everyday
life-television.
Within the historically-specific social conditions of Korean
modernization Kim analyses how Korean women of varying age and
class groups cope with the new environment of changing economical
structures and social relations. The central arguments presented
revolve around the revelatory and self-reflexive nature of TV talk
and its function as a form of empowerment. The book argues that
television is an important resource for women, stimulating them to
research their own lives and identities. Kim reveals Korean women
as creative, energetic, and critical audiences in their responses
to evolving modernity and the impact of the West.
Based on original empirical research, "Women, Television and
Everyday Life in" "Korea" explores the hopes, aspirations,
frustrations and dilemmas of Korean women as they try to cope with
life beyond traditional grounds. Going beyond the traditional
Anglo-American view of media and culture, this text will appeal to
both Korean area studies and media and communications studies.

South Korea has transformed from a country devastated by war in the
late 1950s to a leading cultural powerhouse of the 21st century.
Through the voices of fans, journalists, practitioners, novelists
and academics, Hallyu! explores the makings of the Korean Wave of
cultural influence over the interlinked creative industries of
cinema, drama, music, fandom, beauty and fashion. Images of K-Pop
legends such as Psy, Blackpink and BTS and stills from films and
dramas such as Parasite and Squid Game, alongside webtoon comic
strips, catwalk shots, traditional and contemporary hanbok
clothing, and cosmetics packaging, are just some of the
illustrations that capture the creative, colourful and dynamic
popular culture of South Korea.
Fusing audience research and ethnography, the book presents a
compelling account of women's changing lives and identities in
relation to the impact of the most popular media culture in
everyday life: television.
Within the historically-specific social conditions of Korean
modernity, Youna Kim analyzes how Korean women of varying age and
class group cope with the new environment of changing economical
structure and social relations. The book argues that television is
an important resource for women, stimulating them to research their
own lives and identities. Youna Kim reveals Korean women as
creative, energetic and critical audiences in their responses to
evolving modernity and the impact of the West.
Based on original empirical research, the book explores the hopes,
aspirations, frustrations and dilemmas of Korean women as they try
to cope with life beyond traditional grounds. Going beyond the
traditional Anglo-American view of media and culture, this text
will appeal to students and scholars of both Korean area studies
