Cíle předmětu
Since the 1990s, the phenomenon of “East Asian Popular Culture” was observed to have taken place in East Asia through the production, circulation/distribution and consumption of inter-Asian popular culture traffic as a result of globalization. The contours, directions, and intensities of the cultural traffic have gone through various transformations since then, especially with the rise of new media and streaming platforms. Moreover, with the rise of China in influencing cultural productions through its market size, south Asian countries such as Thailand are incorporated into the sphere of East Asian popular culture sphere. This course aims to offer students an overview of the development of the field, the concepts and theories, and methods that can be used for analyzing Asian popular culture, as well as the issues addressed, in particular, how popular culture is caught within the changing geopolitics and the tensions between nationalism and cosmopolitanism.
