Considering Nation Branding As a Way to Build International Cultural Relations: the Case Study of the Korean Cultural Centers in the United States Considering Nation Branding as a Way to Build International Cultural Relations: The Case Study of the Korean Cultural Centers in the United States Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jung Eun Song, M.A. Graduate Program in Art Education The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Margaret J. Wyszomirski, Advisor Professor Anand Desai Professor Wayne P. Lawson Professor Patricia Stuhr Copyrighted by Jung Eun Song 2010 Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the impact of cultural activities of a national cultural center abroad with respects to national reputation management and nation image building. More specifically, my research focuses on how Korea promotes its national image through the Korean Cultural Centers‘ activities in New York and Los Angeles. Through both pilot study in person and online surveys, this dissertation investigates the cultural policy issues as following; 1) the outreach activities of a national cultural center abroad, 2) the ways to increase level of understanding about foreign culture and to encourage cultural participation in a process of learning culture, 3) the impact of nation branding and cultural diplomacy activities through a national cultural center abroad, and 4) the way of understanding ‗international cultural relations‘. My findings also have implications for cultural policy makers on an important issue: how to increase the familiarity and favorability of foreign cultures and arts in the U.S. I articulate the importance of arts activities and artists for improving a society and how cultural activities aim to foster understanding and tolerance of differences. In addition, direct interaction with local people can likewise help the KCS-NY and the KCC-LA to learn about the characteristics of the local cultural environment, including the cultural interests of local people. This possibility can open a window to improve cultural promotion and engagement between South Korea and the U.S., and thereby to build reciprocity between ii two different cultures. Thus, a national cultural center‘s activities, ranging from presentation and offering information to participation-based events, are significant to achieve the common purpose of nation branding and cultural diplomacy—building cultural relation with local people. iii Dedication Dedicated to my parents and sister iv Acknowledgement I would like to acknowledge guidance and support that I have received from my committee members. I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Margaret Wyszomirski. I would not have completed this dissertation without Dr. Wyszomirski's insight, enthusiasm, and endless support. I would like also to thank Dr. Anand Desai. His invaluable feedback and encouragement have guided me to develop ideas. I wish to express appreciation to Dr. Wayne Lawson.

I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Barnett, and their financial support enabled me to concentrate on my study. I am grateful to the encouragement of Dr. Robert Goler, who recommended me to study doctoral program. Also, I wish to thank the support of both the Korean Cultural Service in New York and the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles as well as all of survey participants in this study. Many thanks to Ms. Kirsten Thomas, Ms. Toni Smith, Minha, InSul, Yi-Lin Chen, and my colleagues.

It is our privilege to host graduate students working across all disciplines to exchange ideas and discuss their research related to Asia. In addition to receiving feedback from their peers and leading academics, participants have the opportunity to meet others doing similar research and forge new professional relationships. This year’s theme, “(De)constructing Boundaries”, critically assesses boundaries - physical, national, cultural, spatial, temporal, and disciplinary - between different spatial- temporal areas of study. As the concept of “Asia” continues to evolve, the construction and deconstruction of boundaries will enable redefinitions of collective knowledge, culture, and identity.

  • Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country in Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘N’ Roll
    October 12, 2015, Issue 469 Motor Mouths: Country In Detroit “Detroit: Cars and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not a bad combo.” Nice, Kid Rock. But what are either without radio? Motor City call letters including WCSX, WRIF, WOMC, WKQI, WJR, WWWW and WYCD have become famous over the years with help from Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Steve Kostan and Arthur Penhallow, National Radio Hall of Famers Dick Purtan, J.P. McCarthy, Steve Dahl and Howard Stern, and Country Radio Hall of Famer Dr. Don Carpenter, to name a few. Not a bad pedigree. PPM market No. 12 is changing, though, especially with respect to Country. For starters, CBS Radio’s WYCD got its first direct challenger in four years when Cumulus Adult Hits WDRQ adopted the company’s Nash brand in late 2013 (Breaking News 12/13/13). And just a few weeks ago Carpenter ended his 10- year WYCD morning run, which led to other on-air changes at the station (CAT 8/5). Country Aircheck details some of those and checks WDRQ’s progress here. Write On: Rosanne Cash, Mark James, Even Stevens On The Market: Detroit – Rust Belt city or city on a and Craig Wiseman were inducted into the Nashville comeback? “Detroit is on a great comeback, but there was a time Songwriters Hall Fame last night (10/11) at the 45th Anniversary Hall of Fame Gala held at the Music City where people moved out of the market,” says Center.

  • Enhancing Urban Heritage: Industrial Culture and Cultural Industry
    Athens Journal of Architecture - Volume 1, Issue 1– Pages 35-50 Enhancing Urban Heritage: Industrial Culture and Cultural Industry By Esther Giani † Giancarlo Carnevale The rehabilitation of historical centres in Italy offers a vast quantity of experiences, though the concept of preserving urban and architectural heritage is quite recent. In fact the same experience does not find place for industrial districts or areas. The scale of intervention is specific to each case as it deals with single artefacts as well as complex building systems, open spaces and urban closeness. The heterogeneity of adopted methods is a result of diverse contextual conditions and, perhaps above all, diverse urban policies. An initial distinction must be made between Monument and Document, thus distinguishing two levels, both equally relevant to the preservation of the identities of a site, though of widely varying origins and – quite often – diverse physical, formal and functional consistency. This text will examine primarily those aspects related to urban morphology, looking at buildings by means of the Vitruvius paradigm: firmitas, utilitas and venustas. These notions will, however, be subordinated to superior levels of programming. Political choices determine what can be pursued, while economic strategies indicate the limits of each intervention; last but not least is the notion of environmental sustainability in its broadest meaning that encompasses issues of energy, economics, function, technology and, above all, society. We will attempt to further narrow the field by considering the rehabilitation of a complex industrial district: the first methodological choice concerns the type of analysis (the reading) adopted to acquire notions useful to the development of a concept design.

  • Nation Branding: Beautiful Bangladesh
    Asian Business Review, Volume 2, Numebr 1/2013 (Issue 3) ISSN 2304-2613 (Print); ISSN 2305-8730 (Online) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nation Branding: Beautiful Bangladesh Wahida Shahan Tinne Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Business, ASA University Bangladesh, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Recently a word ‘Nation Branding’ or ‘Branding Bangladesh’ is practiced a lot. A nation brand is the total sum of all perceptions of a nation in the mind of international stakeholders which may contain some of the following elements: people, place, culture, lan- guage, history, food, fashion, famous faces (celebrities), global brands, etc. The way for a nation to gain a better reputation is to communicate to the international audience that how good you are, is called nation branding. There is a misconception among most of the people that it is required to develop tourism sector of any country in case of nation branding. But nation branding focuses on the nation as a whole – its people, culture and heritage, investment and immigration, governance, exports and tourism. The objec- tive of this paper is to clarify this misconception about nation branding, help our citizens to know about the branding Bangladesh and reveal the possibilities of branding Bangladesh. Process of nation branding –Nation Brand Index and Country Brand Index are discussed in this paper. This research is based on secondary sources and the researcher comes up with the Nation Branding Hexa- gon for Bangladesh. Hopefully this paper will be helpful for awaking our consumers and making responsible to come forward for unbeaten nation branding for Bangladesh. Keywords: Brand, Nation Branding and Bangladesh 1 INTRODUCTION angladesh located in a disaster prone delta at the cen- dimensional assortment of functional, emotional, relation- B ter of Bay of Bengal and surrounded by the massive al and strategic elements that collectively generate a India on three sides and the introvert Myanmar on the unique set of associations in the public mind.
