Book Synopsis Globalization and Popular Music in South Korea by : Michael Fuhr
Download or read book Globalization and Popular Music in South Korea written by Michael Fuhr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an in-depth study of the globalization of contemporary South Korean idol pop music, or K-Pop, visiting K-Pop and its multiple intersections with political, economic, and cultural formations and transformations. It provides detailed insights into the transformative process in and around the field of Korean pop music since the 1990s, which paved the way for the recent international rise of K-Pop and the Korean Wave. Fuhr examines the conditions and effects of transnational flows, asymmetrical power relations, and the role of the imaginary "other" in K-Pop production and consumption, relating them to the specific aesthetic dimensions and material conditions of K-Pop stars, songs, and videos. Further, the book reveals how K-Pop is deployed for strategies of national identity construction in connection with Korean cultural politics, with transnational music production circuits, and with the transnational mobility of immigrant pop idols. The volume argues that K-Pop is a highly productive cultural arena in which South Korea’s globalizing and nationalizing forces and imaginations coincide, intermingle, and counteract with each other and in which the tension between both of these poles is played out musically, visually, and discursively. This book examines a vibrant example of contemporary popular music from the non-Anglophone world and provides deeper insight into the structure of popular music and the dynamics of cultural globalization through a combined set of ethnographic, musicological, and cultural analysis. Widening the regional scope of Western-dominated popular music studies and enhancing new areas of ethnomusicology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this book will also be of interest to those studying East Asian popular culture, music globalization, and popular music.
Book Synopsis Korea 1950-53 recounting REME Involvement by : Peter Gripton
Download or read book Korea 1950-53 recounting REME Involvement written by Peter Gripton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the War in Korea and of the part played by the REME from 1950 to 1953 as told by various individuals of that Corps, makes fascinating reading. The support and devotion to their colleagues is most apparent, but typical of the British soldier, these experiences are balanced with a sense of sympathy for the unfortunate Korean civilian population caught up in the conflict, and it wouldn't be a true story of the British soldier without its sprinkling of 'squaddie' humour. John Dutton has provided an excellent compilation of personal accounts in this comprehensive story of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers at war where the positioning of Light Aid Detachments and Field Workshops was just as important to senior commanders in their tactical planning as was the medical back-up of a Regimental Aid Post or a Field Ambulance.
Book Synopsis Stranger in a Stranger Land: My Six Years in Korea by : Brian M. Williams
Download or read book Stranger in a Stranger Land: My Six Years in Korea written by Brian M. Williams and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At his most immodest, Brian would like to believe Bill Bryson would be able to recognize his influence on this book. It's a humorous, informative and thoughtful exploration of modern Korean culture and expat life. The book is full of personal anecdotes, secondhand stories and interesting facts, which are all interlaced with his personal narrative. Brian discusses serious topics like Korea's deeply embedded racism, its 1950's style sexism, its demanding but unproductive work culture and its highly lauded but deeply flawed education system. He also talks about lighter subjects like K-pop, the expat and Korean dating scenes, its debaucherous drinking culture, and why he thinks Seoul should be considered the party capital of Asia. By time readers are done, they'll have an understanding of how a lot of expats view Korea, what some of its most significant and peculiar cultural differences are, and some of the problems it's currently facing. This is a must read for anyone thinking of moving there.

Book Synopsis Soul in Seoul by : Crystal S. Anderson
Download or read book Soul in Seoul written by Crystal S. Anderson and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: K-pop (Korean popular music) reigns as one of the most popular music genres in the world today, a phenomenon that appeals to listeners of all ages and nationalities. In Soul in Seoul: African American Popular Music and K-pop, Crystal S. Anderson examines the most important and often overlooked aspect of K-pop: the music itself. She demonstrates how contemporary K-pop references and incorporates musical and performative elements of African American popular music culture as well as the ways that fans outside of Korea understand these references. K-pop emerged in the 1990s with immediate global aspirations, combining musical elements from Korean and foreign cultures, particularly rhythm and blues genres of black American popular music. Korean solo artists and groups borrow from and cite instrumentation and vocals of R&B genres, especially hip-hop. They also enhance the R&B tradition by utilizing Korean musical strategies. These musical citational practices are deemed authentic by global fans who function as part of K-pop’s music press and promotional apparatus. K-pop artists also cite elements of African American performance in Korean music videos. These disrupt stereotyped representations of Asian and African American performers. Through this process K-pop has arguably become a branch of a global R&B tradition. Anderson argues that Korean pop groups participate in that tradition through cultural work that enacts a global form of crossover and by maintaining forms of authenticity that cannot be faked, and furthermore propel the R&B tradition beyond the black-white binary.

This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loving the Silent Tears is more than a musical. It is a celebration. This remarkable show rejoices in the diversity of our world: Sixteen vibrant global cultures are presented through soaring music, astounding sets and costumes, and an impressive cast of singers and dancers. Moving deeper, the musical’s book and lyrics weave the entrancing story of a magical journey and the crisscrossing paths of an older, disenchanted woman and a lost young man propelled on the way to self-discovery. It is a search for a meaningful existence and ultimately, an exaltation of finding peace within ourselves. Musical theatre has always conveyed tales of love, ambition, and adversity through song and dance. With a topic that’s more unique than most, this musical is particularly deep yet highly entertaining. The theme revolves around the innate human longing to contact a higher power, or in the poet’s words, “Loving the silent tears for You more than the diamonds of the world.” Good theatre invites us to think, to question, and to aspire. Loving the Silent Tears does just that, providing aesthetic gratification while planting the seeds for further reflection.

Book excerpt: . . is the story of a young English lad, still in his teens who, between 1950 and 1952, underwent that rite of passage into adulthood called national service but with a difference. Half of it was spent with the Welch Regiment, part of the Commonwealth Division of the United Nations forces in Korea. Luckily, it was during the quieter middle phase of that war, the Forgotten War and the last to be fought from trenches. He experienced moments of unexpected pleasure, ennui, abject terror, boredom, utter weariness and despair, sadness, joy, laughter and profound revelation all of which are part of this tale. There is some blood and guts but, through great good fortune, none of his personal experiencing. This is a story of how it was for one reasonably well educated boy sent halfway across the world on His/Her Majesties business to an uncertain fate. He returned a man in one sense at least!
Book Synopsis Brian's Search by : Paul Duane Wagaman

A few days later, a wagon train reaches that fateful site and finds Brian Jamison barely alive.

Download or read book Brian's Bean written by Cristina E. Gault and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story about Brian who suffered through a life-threatening illness. With pure determination, strength, and a donation from his wife, he overcame his illness. It tells the story of Brian's life, many struggles, and the various procedures to get him prepared for the big one he would need to live. This is a love story about two people who were brought together by God, who revealed their true life's purpose at a time it was needed the most. The intent of this story is to inspire others to find their purpose, pray about it so it is revealed, and use it where it is needed. It tells a story of friendships, grace, mercy, giving to others, and love. Brian was never really sick a day in his life. However, he did spend much of his young life in a hospital, watching his brother (Tim) get through a debilitating and paralyzing leg and hip disease. This may have prepared him for what he would go through much later in life. One has to wonder if that was the beginning lesson he would need to find his own strength and courage by learning and observing his young brother. His wife also spent much of her young life in a hospital, visiting her brother (Henry) who had severe asthma attacks. Was this setting her up to handle the challenges she would soon face when her husband developed a chronic and deadly illness? There are signs all around us; some are just more aware of them than others. Sometimes, God opens our eyes to help us see clearly what we are facing and how to get through it. Prayers, encouragement, hope, and love are the most important factors when getting through a debilitating disease.
