Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Recent discussion on East Asian media is centered on the idea of “East Asian popular culture” in the global scene, and the cultural imperialism of the West is no longer a topic of concern. The consumption of “East Asian popular culture” has gradually become part of the daily East Asian routine, more closely connecting the peoples of the region. Although Taiwan plays a significant role in the whole East Asian pop circle and its geographical location and openness toward foreign culture make this location a diverse and transnational spot, scholars have considered Taiwan to be less important place to discuss than that of Japan and South Korea, reflecting their growing power in the East Asian pop circle. This course is designed to understand the role that Taiwan is playing in the East Asian pop cultural landscape. Their unique political history, geographical location, diversity and openness character brings Taiwan the most active cultural importer of the region and plays significant role on the Asian pop market. Through this course, it will examine historical view of the role of Taiwan in the East Asian context as well as the overview of Taiwanese popular culture in general.
