This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, Korean communication and media have substantially grown to become some of the most significant segments of Korean society. Since the early 1990s, Korea has experienced several distinctive changes in its politics, economy, and technology, which are directly related to the development of local media and culture. Korea has greatly developed several cutting-edge technologies, such as smartphones, video games, and mobile instant messengers to become the most networked society throughout the world. As the Korean Wave exemplifies, the once small and peripheral Korea has also created several unique local popular cultures, including television programs, movies, and popular music, known as K-pop, and these products have penetrated many parts of the world. As Korean media and popular culture have rapidly grown, the number of media scholars and topics covering these areas in academic discourses has increased. These scholars’ interests have expanded from traditional media, such as Korean journalism and cinema, to several new cutting-edge areas, like digital technologies, health communication, and LGBT-related issues. In celebrating the Korean American Communication Association’s fortieth anniversary in 2018, this book documents and historicizes the growth of growing scholarship in the realm of Korean media and communication.

Download or read book Korea in the 1990s written by Bernd Weiler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In American history the 1950s are remembered as an affluent and harmonious decade. Not so in Austria. That nation emerged out of World War II with tremendous war-related destruction and with a four-power occupation that would last for ten years until 1955. Massive American economic aid enabled the Austrian economy to start recovering in the 1950s and reorient it from East to West. Unlike the United States, however, general affluence did not set in until the 1960s and 1970s even though Austria's dramatic baby boom enabled it to recover from the demographic catastrophe resulting from manpower losses of World War II., This volume deals with these larger trends. Stephen E. Ambrose discusses American-European relations and sets the larger international context for the Austrian scene. Oilver Rathkolb retraces the changing importance of the Austrian question for the Eisenhower administration. Michael Gehler presents an in-depth analysis of the intriguing question of whether Austria's unification at the price of permanent neutrality might have been a model for Germany. Franz Mathis and Kurt Tweraser look at economic reconstruction and the roles played by both the Austrian public industrial sector and the American Marshall Plan. Karin Schmidlechner looks at the youth culture of the era. Franz Adlgasser shows how Herbert Hoover's food aid was instrumental in the containment of communism in Hungary. Beth Noveck analyzes Austrian political culture of the First Republic from the perspective of Hugo Bettauer. Rolf Steininger presents an insightful historical overview of how the Austro-Italian South Tyrol conflict was resolved after seventy-five years of tension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary North Korea presents a comprehensive picture of contemporary North Korea, placed in historical context and set against the overlapping fields of politics, economy, culture, society and foreign relations. Spanning a period of significant transition for North Korea, this volume provides accurate analysis and applications of both historical and institutional perspectives. The volume’s chapters are representative of the growth in North Korean studies that has occurred since the 1990s, in parallel with the growing maturity of the field in South Korea, as well as with far greater levels of access to North Korean sources. The volume is divided into five Parts, each reflecting an emergent area of debate and research: The political perspective The North Korean economy Foreign relations Society Culture This is the first anthology of North Korean studies to demonstrate a clear understanding of North Korea as North Korea, as opposed to a dimly perceived and threatening rogue state. It features both Korean and non-Korean contributors, many working from primary source material. As such, this handbook will prove a valuable resource to students and scholars of Northeast Asian studies, modern Korean history and politics, and comparative politics more broadly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Art Under Control in North Korea is the first publication in the West to explore the role of art in one of the world's most isolated nations. This timely publication places North Korean art in its historical, political and social contexts, discusses the state system of producing, employing, promoting and honouring artists, and examines the range of art produced, from painting and calligraphy to architecture and applied art. Jane Portal also compares the control exerted over artists by North Korean leaders to that of other absolute dictatorships, and looks at the way in which archaeology has been employed for political ends to justify the present leadership and its lineage."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Seoul in 3 Days written by Finest City Guides and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seoul is unique. It has traditional Asian aspects, but many aspects are among the most modern in the world. There is a great deal of contrast in the different areas of Seoul. The people of Seoul are beautiful and welcoming. Korea is a fashion trendsetter. You can celebrate the authenticity of traditional Korea and still enjoy the technological advantages offered there. Korea was ravaged by war, that's true. But it has been rebuilt into a thriving economic stronghold that has many influences on the world at large. From modern Korean pop culture to ancient houses of worship, Seoul mixes traditional and modern life in a unique and vibrant atmosphere. If you only have a few days to spend in Seoul, you need to make the most of them. That's what this travel guide is all about. Seoul and its home country of South Korea may shape your world view. Theirs is a story of courage and hope, of rebuilding from nothing, and of the undying spirit of the people of South Korea. The People of SeoulThe population density in Seoul is nearly twice that in New York City! Most residents of Seoul are Korean, with pockets of Japanese, Chinese and minorities of expatriates. The population is over 1o million. The population of Seoul has been decreasing since the 1990's, since it is an aging one, and the costs of living are high. The people of Seoul tend to be warm and welcoming, and tolerant of tourists who don't quite know where they're going. That's helpful for travelers. LanguageKoreans speak... well, Korean. If you learn a few often-used words, it will be helpful for you. The language, however, is quite different from Western languages, in pronunciation and grammar. Different areas of Korea speak different dialects, but many people in Seoul speak standard Korean. This makes it a bit easier to communicate in the city, since you'll be hearing predominantly the same dialect. Korean writing utilizes a phonetic system known as hangul. In this system, sounds are "stacked" into blocks that are representative of syllables. A committee designed the system, and although it looks like small circles and right angles, it's actually logical and consistent. You may find that you can pick it up quite easily. Religious BeliefsIn Seoul, the two main religions are Buddhism and Christianity. There are smatterings of other religions too, including Confucianism and Muism. Seoul has the largest Christian congregation in the world, at Yoido Full Gospel Church. Here is a quick preview of what you will learn in this tourist guide: * Helpful information about Seoul, South Korea* Flying into the city* Transportation tips while you're in town* Why Seoul is such a diverse tourist spot and what you will find most remarkable about it* Information on luxury and budget accommodations and what you'll get for your money* The currency used in Seoul* Tourist attractions you should make time to see* Other attractions for entertainment and culture* Events that may be running during your stay* Tips on the best places to eat & drink for all price points, whether you want simple fare, worldwide dishes or Korean/Asian flavor
