Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
This course aims at improving the student's understandings of East Asian popular culture and the recent trend through analysis on Hallyu phenomenon. The popularity of Korean popular culture was unexpected and sudden, because Korea had not previously been a "power station" of East Asian pop culture. This new phenomenon has attracted many scholars, who try to understand its meaning; many have already looked at Hallyu from different angles and analyzed the reasons and effects of its circulation. Through an overview of this analysis and deeper understanding of Hallyu, I aim to guide students to understand contemporary East Asian cultural identity. I also aim provide students with an understanding of various pertinent issues, such as globalization, Asian values and identity, regionalism, localization, and nationalism in East Asian perspective.
Prüfungsstoff
Every class will consist of lecture, discussion of the assigned reading, and student presentations. Students will be required to read assigned readings before attending the class, and will be required to participate fully in class discussions. The lecture and the readings will include topics relevant to the Hallyu phenomenon, an overview of the contemporary East Asian cultural scene, and how Hallyu took part in it. Issues and background information pertinent to Hallyu, and to East Asian popular culture generally, will also be discussed.

localization of foreign culture, resistance to Westernization, and the growing notion of regionalization. This class will explore Hallyu in East Asia in many different perspectives, so that students will understand the issues that are relevant to this phenomenon, the roles played by popular culture in the construction of national and regional identities in East Asia, and the processes by which popular culture is spread and received. The growing circulation of Korean popular culture in many ways serves to unify East Asia, in part because it contributes to the creation of a collective regional cultural identity. Popular cultural products such as films, soap operas, and popular music are moving more easily across national borders, and this phenomenon fosters a greater sense of regional cultural identity. Although the American popular-culture industry still dominates the airwaves and large and small screens, East Asian popular culture has cornered a significant piece of the regional consumption economy. Through this course, I intend to show how East Asian popular culture, affects the construction of national and regional identities, and thereby to discuss the importance of Asian values, the processes by which popular culture is spread and is received, and the intertwining of national, regional, and global cultures. East Asian countries are no longer passive receivers of Western popular culture; they now want to choose their own. Attitudes of resistance toward American pop culture, combined with competitive production and marketing strategies, have made Japan and Korea the main producers of popular culture in East Asia.
