Women We Love
Women We Love: Femininities and the Korean Wave is an edited volume exploring femininities in and around the Korean Wave since 2000. While studies on the Korean Wave are abundant, there is a dearth of thought put toward the female-identifying stars, characters, and fans who shape and lead this crucial cultural movement. This collection of essays is one of the first works to focus on gender and the key female actors of this global phenomenon. Using “women” as an inclusive term extending to all those who self-define as women, this volume examines the role of women in K-pop and K-drama industries and fandom spaces, encompassing crucial intersectional topics such as queering of gender, disse...
Concocting Corporeality
Ideas of representation of the body in South Korean culture have dramatically changed in the last century. Instead of conforming to a single norm, bodies are being used more publicly as tools for self-expression and communicating ideas. Concocting Corporeality: The body in contemporary visual art by artists from South Korea traces how four distinct artists use the body as an artistic theme to enter discussions of the blurred spaces between gender and non-gender, human and non-human, and internal and external. Pietà: Self Death (2008) by Lee Yongbaek (b. 1966) is a larger-than-life cyborg-like sculpture spurring discussions of technology and religion in South Korea, human and non-human, and ...
Queer Asia
Queer studies is now a rapidly expanding field, as scholars from a variety of disciplines seek to address the long-running marginalisation of queer perspectives and experiences. But there has so far been little effort to unify the study of queer communities outside the West, and much of the current writing views these communities through a narrowly Western lens. Building on the work of the annual Queer Asia conference, which the editors helped to establish, this collection represents the most comprehensive work to date on queer studies in an Asian context. Featuring case studies and original research from across the continent, covering the Middle East, South and East Asia, and Asian diasporas, the collection offers a genuinely pan-Asian perspective which places queer Asian identities and movements in dialogue with each other, rather than within a Western framework. By considering how queerness is imagined within plural Asian experiences and contexts, the contributors show a that re-envisioning of 'queer' through Asian perspectives has the potential to challenge existing discourses and debates in the wider field of contemporary gender, sexuality, and queer studies.
