{"product_id":"the-korean-popular-culture-reader-9780822354888","title":"The Korean Popular Culture Reader","description":"Over the past decade, Korean popular culture has become a global phenomenon. The \"Korean Wave\" of music, film, television, sports, and cuisine generates significant revenues and cultural pride in South Korea. \u003ci\u003eThe Korean Popular Culture Reader\u003c\/i\u003e provides a timely and essential foundation for the study of \"K-pop,\" relating the contemporary cultural landscape to its historical roots. The essays in this collection reveal the intimate connections of Korean popular culture, or hallyu, to the peninsula's colonial and postcolonial histories, to the nationalist projects of the military dictatorship, and to the neoliberalism of twenty-first-century South Korea. Combining translations of seminal essays by Korean scholars on topics ranging from sports to colonial-era serial fiction with new work by scholars based in fields including literary studies, film and media studies, ethnomusicology, and art history, this collection expertly navigates the social and political dynamics that have shaped Korean cultural production over the past century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors.
