Understanding Hallyu: The Korean Wave Through Literature, Webtoon, and Mukbang
Autor Hyesu Parken Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2023
Drawing on narrative theory and cultural studies, the book makes a compelling argument about how to analyze the production and consumption of Korean media within and beyond its national boundary with critical eyes. The author shows how transmedial narrative studies (narrative studies across media) offers analytical and theoretical lenses through which one can interpret new and emerging media forms and contents. Furthermore, she explores how these forms and contents can be better understood when they are contextualized within specific time and place using the cultural, social, and political concepts and precepts of the region.
The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of Asian Studies, popular culture, contemporary cyberculture, media and culture studies, and literary theory.

Recenzii
“Hyesu Park presents innovative and distinctive approaches in understanding less-privileged areas in the transnationality of the Korean Wave. By uniquely positioning herself as literary scholar, she aptly analyzes three different forms of popular culture, literature, webtoon, and mukbang within the genealogy of Korean literature. Her unique and rich research provides new insights on the convergence of narrative, media, and Korea, which is rare, but makes the book valuable and enjoyable.” — Dal Yong Jin, Distinguished SFU Professor at Simon Fraser University, Canada
“The export of Korean culture around the world is one of the most salient transmedial influences in the 21st century. In this path-breaking work, Dr. Park examines digital and cultural forces that have shaped and filtered the rise of the Korean Wave. Through a novel application of narrative theory, she examines webtoons, graphic narratives, fiction and mukbang videos to display how global audiences have come to feel, imagine, think and identify with Korean popular culture. By using semiotic and technical approaches, Dr. Park demonstrates how the digital circulation and remix culture of Korean media has produced inclusive storyworlds for a global audience. Understanding Hallyu: The Korean Wave Through Literature, Webtoon, and Mukbang
provides a perceptive account of the network effect of a dramatic new addition to Asian cultural studies.” — Maya Dodd, Assistant Dean of Teaching, Learning, and Engagement at FLAME University, India
