People often dismiss pop culture as fundamentally trivial, ephemeral, or inconsequential. Yet in a world that is drawn together by the media, the pop culture that we consume has become a common language—our world has mediatized, and as this was happening the media has responded by consolidating their power. Once the press functioned as a check on the power of the political sphere and distributed information but as it shifted to become entertainment-oriented our world shifted, leaving many in the older generation confused by what seems like a broken social contract. Contemporary college students—you—, are not so easily confused. You know the media is less representation than a presentational format. You have seen the shift from the research driven news reporting to sensationalism, media manipulation, and attention-seeking. And that is what we will explore, in the context of East Asia. Major units of the class will address celebrity in East Asia, the hybridization of Western pop culture with Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cultural developments, and how politics is intertwined with pop culture in East Asia. We will pick apart pop culture case studies to see what they can teach us about each of these East Asian cultures, and also about their interaction with each other. Class will be fast paced, include in and out of class media consumption, require in-depth media analysis, and one day per week will be devoted to activities and discussion in smaller sections.
