Country: Japan
Institution: Hosei University
Course Title: East Asian Media
Course Number: A8531
Course Description: The last decades of the 20th century witnessed a great shift in the landscape of East Asian media and popular culture. Border-crossing visual cultural flows in conjunction with trans-Asian co-production among East Asian countries have not only strengthened the imaginary bond of "Asia," but also have cultivated a wider pan-Asian identity. This course will engage the interdisciplinary field of visual media and popular culture studies of East Asia. In this course, students will learn about the trans-Asian flow of Hong Kong films since the 1950s, the dissemination of Japanese popular culture during the 1970s-90s, and the recent popularity of Korean Wave.
