Global Imagination and the Production of Locality Among Korean Americans in Philadelphia THE RISE OF THE KOREAN WAVE IN THE UNITED STATES: GLOBAL IMAGINATION AND THE PRODUCTION OF LOCALITY AMONG KOREAN AMERICANS IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by HaeLim Suh August 2018 Examining Committee Members: Thomas Jacobson, Advisory Co-Chair, Department of Media Studies and Production Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Co-Chair, Department of Journalism Patrick Murphy, Department of Media Studies and Production DongSook Park, External Member, Ewha Womans University © Copyright 2018 by HaeLim Suh All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation illustrates the cultural dimension of globalization by examining how the ascendance of South Korean popular culture, i.e., the Korean Wave, reshapes the global imagination and transforms the locality of Korean Americans in Philadelphia. As an ethnographic global media study, I conducted in-depth interviews and participated in Korean cultural events/meetings, as well as visited the sites of living for Korean Americans in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. My research finds that advances in the digitalized media environment made my informants consume copious transnational Korean media every day and individualized their media consumption. Accordingly, their perceptions of Korea/Asia/U.S.’s places in the world are complicated and their ethnic identity has become significant. Their global imaginations also intersect with negotiating gender roles, perceiving attractiveness, and planning future paths. This shift contributes to construction of the in- between identities of Korean Americans by denaturalizing ideas and cultural elements in both Korea and the U.S. Most distinctively, the rise of the Korean Wave stimulates global imagination among young second generation Korean Americans to aspire to and operate their agency in a transnational context that their parents’ generation barely anticipated. Finally, the upsurge of the Korean Wave drives Korean Americans to participate in transforming localities rooted in thickened connectivities and activities centering on Korean popular culture across intra/inter-ethnic groups locally and globally. This conversely facilitates intense engagement and belonging in the local spaces of community among Korean Americans. My study shows how transnational media flow under conditions of globalization positively influences immigrants to embrace their own iii ethnic identities and local spaces. On the other hand, it implies that there should be further examination of different boundaries of global imagination rooted in gender/class differences as well as race/ethnicity. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I especially thank my twenty-nine informants who willingly participated in the interviews, invited me to their spaces of living, and updated me about their new experiences related to Korean culture. Having good people as informants, my fieldwork was a refreshing break and I always looked forward to it. I hope my work contributes a better understanding and imagination of the lives of immigrants in the globalized world. I would like to express my appreciation to my committee members for their efforts to make my dissertation emerge into the real world. Each of them shared their insights bringing life back to my rudimentary ideas. I especially thank Dr. Thomas Jacobson and Dr. Fabienne Darling-Wolf, my co-advisors. Dr. Jacobson’s steadfast confidence and patience enabled me to continue and clinch this project, and finally, aspire to the next step. Dr. Darling-Wolf widened and challenged my intelligence in a pleasant way and is my role model of a feminist who always looks for more beautiful perspectives from which to view the world. Dr. Patrick Murphy guided me with sharp comments and an empathetic mind during this long journey. Lastly, I was honored to have Dr. Dong Sook Park as an external member who led me to be intrigued about life as a teacher and scholar early in my academic career and gave eye-opening insights to progress this project. I am more than grateful to have Dr. John Lent as a mentor who showed me how to live as a fearless, independent, liberal, and still humanistic minded scholar. Dr. Janice Staab walked with me each step and believed in me (sometimes more than I did) as a teacher, a counselor, and a friend. Dr. Eunsook Rhee stood by me like an older sister and showed the excellence of a genuine teacher. v I would like to extend my gratitude to friends and colleagues who have supported me. I could not have survived without the hours that we shared in happiness and hardships: Sonya Aus, Cheonae Kim, Chunhyo Kim, Sunyong Kim, Bok Sun Kang, Sookkyung Shin, Hochung Kim, Minjung Shim, Kyongsu Pak, YuhKyoung Rhie, Kyungsoo Kim, Hojeong Lee, and Jaehyeon Jung. Finally, I would like to give my deepest thanks to my family, my parents, sisters, and brothers. I dedicate this work to my parents, SunHwa Suh and JaeSook Kim, who have a faith in education and wish their children to work for a better world. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .......................................................................................v LIST OF TABLES ................................................................................................. xi LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................. xii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ............................................................................1 Outline of the Research ................................................................................... 5 CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW ...............................................................10 The Process of Cultural Globalization ...............................................................10 Appadurai’s Theories of Globalization ..............................................................12 Global Imagination and the Role of the Media ............................................. 15 Global Culture and the Production of Locality ............................................. 20 Grassroots Globalization and Exploring Globalized Cultural Sovereignty .. 24 Contextualizing the Korean Wave in Cultural Globalization ............................27 South Korea’s Relation to Other Parts of the World .................................... 28 The Korean Wave as a Mediascape from East Asia ..................................... 32 The Korean Americans in the U.S. and Their Use of Korean Media ........... 38 Research Questions ............................................................................................45 CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY .........................................................................49 Ethnographic Research of Global Media Culture ..............................................49 Contextualization of Korean Immigrants’ Lives in Metropolitan Philadelphia 55 Diversification of Korean Americans in Philadelphia .................................. 55 vii Korean American Neighborhoods in Philadelphia ....................................... 59 Sampling ....................................................................................................... 62 Data collection .............................................................................................. 67 Reflexivity of the Research Process ..................................................................69 Chapter Breakdown ...................................................................................... 77 CHAPTER 4: DIGITALIZED KOREAN MEDIA, ETHNIC IDENTITIES, AND GLOBAL IMAGINATION ...................................................................................79 Digital Media Made Differences .......................................................................81 Transnational Korean Media and Negotiating Ethnic Identity ..........................88 The Burden and Excitement of my Korean Side .......................................... 89 K-pop is for the Asian Youth, not my Favorite .......................................... 100 Korean Wave is not Mainstream Culture.................................................... 104 Imagining Korea Every Day in the U.S. ..........................................................108 Young Second Generation Korean Americans’ Imagined Worlds ............. 109 International Students/Young Professional Immigrants’ Imagined Worlds 119 Senior First Generation Korean Americans’ Imagined Worlds .................. 129 Conclusion .......................................................................................................135 CHAPTER 5: NEGOTIATING GENDER ROLES, ATTRACTIVENESS, AND LIFE PLANS .......................................................................................................137 Young Second Generation Korean Americans ................................................145 All of Their Personalities are Really Cool .................................................. 145 viii My Friends Say I’m Korean Style .............................................................. 152 Culture is Better, Chance is Higher ............................................................ 183 International Students/Young Professional Immigrants ..................................192 Coping with Gender Roles in Immigrant Communities ............................. 193 Not Fobby, but Global Fashionista! ...........................................................

  • The Impact of 'Korean Wave'on Young Indonesian Females and Indonesian Culture in Jabodetabek Area
    THE IMPACT OF ‘KOREAN WAVE’ ON YOUNG INDONESIAN. Putri And Reese THE IMPACT OF ‘KOREAN WAVE’ ON YOUNG INDONESIAN FEMALES AND INDONESIAN CULTURE IN JABODETABEK AREA Vandani Kencana Putri Matthias Reese Swiss German University, Tangerang, Indonesia Swiss German University, Tangerang, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Popular culture ‘Korean Wave’ has been reaching out all over the world since the year 2000 with the phenomenon intriguing people’s interests towards Korean culture and products. In fact, some Abstract people already prefer Korean culture and products to those from their own country. It is inevitable in Indonesia, too, where most of its K-Wave-enthusiasts are teenage to adult females. With this in mind, there is a possibility that Indonesian culture might eventually vanish in those individuals. Thus, this quantitative research focuses on Indonesian female K-Wavers between 15 and 30 years old who are living in the Jabodetabek area, and investigates their main medium of Korean Wave consumption and whether Korean Wave has an impact on individuals and on Indonesian culture itself. The results based on the data of 251 respondents show that internet is the main medium of Korean Wave consumption in the Jabodetabek area. Furthermore, the results injdicate that the Korean Wave does significantly impact Indonesian female K-Wavers in several aspects, but an impact of the Korean Wave on Indonesian culture could not be found. 35 BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES JOURNAL c MARC 2016 . VOL. 3 . NO.2 I. Background pop music (or K-Pop) also made a major contribution for the geographical orean popular culture, called extension of the Korean Wave across ‘Korean Wave’ or simply the globe.

  • V Rethinking the State After Bollywood
    RETHINKING THE STATE AFTER BOLLYWOOD Ashish Rajadhyaksha More on Bollywood Nothing, in the hugely marketed hype of the „Indian Summer‟ of London, 2002, was more characteristic of the season than designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla's „recreation‟ of movie star Dimple Kapadia‟s Bombay home on the ground floor of the London department store, Selfridges. But then, these weren‟t normal times. An event that might well have normally seen Dimple‟s straight rise to the dimensions of a present-day Lola Montes, with crowds ogling at simulations of her living spaces, was here no more than an announcement of „Bollywood at Selfridges May 2002‟, to be attended by Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia. The event jostled for media coverage through the year with a series of other crowd-pulling shows such as the „Imagine ASIA‟ (April) event at the British Film Institute launching „an 8 month long nationwide celebration of South Asian cinema. Screenings, exhibitions, books and talks galore!‟, the „Bombay Dreams Week‟(June) to „celebrate Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber‟s production of A.R. Rahman‟s Bollywood musical with a week of special features‟, and the „Devdas Week‟ (July) „to mark the release of the most anticipated Bollywood movie this summer... Including exclusive interviews with the stars‟. At a multicultural music, art and dance series at Trafalgar Square, Mayor Ken Livingstone launched the guide to „Asian London‟ (http://www.london.gov.uk) that came to officially represent everything that now stood for Bollywood, „activities including fairs,

    Watercolor Art Society - Houston | Washrag Newsletter | February 2018 1 February 2018 January 2018 Gallery Exhibit: HOPE Houston artist and long-time WAS-H friend and instructor Ellen Orseck judged the January Monthly Exhibit. Her prevailing comment on all the work was that each piece, in its own way, spoke to the much needed quality of HOPE in our world today. The winners are: 1st Place - Christine Bunger “See the Light” 2nd Place - Lynda Jung “No Time Is the Right Time” 3rd Place - Fred Kingwill “The Future—Robin’s Eggs” Honorable Mentions awarded to: Sana Shaw “Awakening of the Star” Richard Scruggs “El Camino Pilgrims” Robin Beckwith “Fragments of Imagined Spring” Liz Hill “Leopard Hat” Each of the first three winners draws the viewer into the center of the painting and beyond! Chris Bunger’s stunning copse of tall trees reaching for the sky and light draws us out of the current darkness of the world to a spiritual point of light and hope and life. Lynda Jung’s 1st place - Christine Bunger “See the Light” reflection on time stretches us to think of time past, present and future, within the clock-like piece she places organic and non-organic elements of life. Fred Kingwill’s small piece uses the circular, womb-like nature of the nest holding the promise of new life to strengthen our hope in the future. Ellen also found it interesting that each of these pieces effectively broke the traditional rule of not centering the focal point on the page. It is the quality of BEYONDNESS and HOPE IN THE FUTURE in each of the pieces that makes the break 2nd place - Lynda Jung “No Time Is the 3rd place - Fred Kingwell “The Future— successful!

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • Diasporic Nationalism and Academic Pilgrimage of the Korean Christian Community in Jerusalem
    S/N Korean Humanities Volume 7 Issue 1 Between Two Homelands: Diasporic Nationalism and Academic Pilgrimage of the Korean Christian Community in Jerusalem Irina Lyan The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Received January 12, 2020; Revised version received February 17, 2021; Accepted February 28, 2021 Abstract This article brings a transnational approach to the concept of diasporic nationalism, often narrowly conceptualized through the paradoxical link between displaced nation and territory. Based on a one-year ethnographical account of the Korean Christian community in Jerusalem, the article aims to challenge the already troubled concept of diasporic nationalism through the prism of a religious supranational “homecoming” to the Holy Land that might both enhance the national identity and transcend the very significance of nation and nationalism. Rather than viewing diasporic individuals as brokers, educators, and even as “exemplary citizens” or ambassadors of their historical homelands, I suggest moving away from a “hypernationalist” framing of diaspora as an extended nation toward a nuanced understanding of diasporic action and agency. By juxtaposing national and religious nostalgia for “imagined homelands,” I argue that while national identity makes Korean community members outsiders in an unwelcoming Israeli society, their status as Christians brings them back to their religious origins through what I call an “academic pilgrimage.” I ask how the Korean Christian community, modeled on the concept of nation-within-nation, negotiates its

THE RELATION OF ST.

Ethical teaching is, however, by no means lacking. A brief survey is sufficient to show that a large proportion of his extant writings is devoted to practical advice and exhortation. Frequently the main body of ethical teaching follows the section in which his theology is developed and explained. Sometimes, as in the epistle to the Romans, the transition seems to be abrupt and the connection obscure. Possibly it is for this reason that there has been, at times, a tendency either to emphasize the doctrine or the ethic to the exclusion of the other, or to give more or less equal weight to both, and thus to emphasize the disconnection between the two. Some ages have taken St. Paul's doctrine without his ethic. Our own seems to be more concerned with ethics than with theology, and the attempt is made to establish morality without a doctrinal basis.
