  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • Diversity of K-Pop: a Focus on Race, Language, and Musical Genre
    DIVERSITY OF K-POP: A FOCUS ON RACE, LANGUAGE, AND MUSICAL GENRE Wonseok Lee A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2018 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2018 Wonseok Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Since the end of the 1990s, Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu, has spread to the world. As the most significant part of Hallyu, Korean popular music, K-pop, captivates global audiences. From a typical K-pop artist, Psy, to a recent sensation of global popular music, BTS, K-pop enthusiasts all around the world prove that K-pop is an ongoing global cultural flow. Despite the fact that the term K-pop explicitly indicates a certain ethnicity and language, as K- pop expanded and became influential to the world, it developed distinct features that did not exist in it before. This thesis examines these distinct features of K-pop focusing on race, language, and musical genre: it reveals how K-pop groups today consist of non-Korean musicians, what makes K-pop groups consisting of all Korean musicians sing in non-Korean languages, what kind of diverse musical genres exists in the K-pop field with two case studies, and what these features mean in terms of the discourse of K-pop today. By looking at the diversity of K-pop, I emphasize that K-pop is not merely a dance- oriented musical genre sung by Koreans in the Korean language.

    WALC™ 9: Verbal and Visual Reasoning Workbook of Activities for Language and Cognition by Kathryn J. Tomlin Skills Ages verbal and visual reasoning 16 and up thought organization convergent reasoning Grades logic insight high school and up integration inferencing visual perception Evidence-Based Practice According to the Clinical Guidelines of The Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists (www.rcslt.org/resources, 2005) and the National Stroke Association (2006), the following therapy principles are supported: Communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is a fundamental human need. Meeting this need by facilitating and enhancing communication in any form can be vital to a patient’s well-being. Therapy should include tasks that focus on semantic processing, including semantic cueing of spoken output, semantic judgments, categorization, and word-to-picture matching. Therapy may target the comprehension and production of complex, as well as simple, sentence forms. Therapy should be conducted within natural communication environments. Rehabilitation is an important part of recovering from a stroke, and the goal is to regain as much independence as possible. This book incorporates the above principles and is also based on expert professional practice. Copyright © 2007 LinguiSystems, Inc.

  • Democratic Socialism While There Were Socialists Who Preceded Karl Marx, It Is Certainly True That Those Who Followed Him Were Influenced by His View of Communism
    CHAPTER 1 Introducing the Ancient Debate The Ideal Versus the Real Photofest Back in the “good old days,”* on televisions that resembled Laundromat dryers, geeky tykes rejoiced as Adam West, the only Batman with a beer belly, spouted the campiest of campy lines while employing the Batmobile, Batcomputer, Batcopter, Batladder, Batcanopener, and Shark-Repellent Bat Spray† to thwart the evildoers who plagued Gotham City. Batman was such a classy show that the words “POW!!!” and “BAAAAM!!!” flashed across the screen as the masked superhero tackled his enemies. These “special effects” were quite important. Not only did they distract viewers from the glaringly obvious fact that the show’s producers were too cheap to hire stuntmen to fake fights properly but also the Technicolor- graphics-instead-of-sound effects were pretty much the only part of the show that came anywhere close to capturing Batman’s comic book origins. The television series may have been so campy it was a joke, but there was nothing campy or comedic about the comic book version of Batman. Batman made his first appearance in 1939 in DC Comics’ Detective Comics, and in spring 1940, DC Comics published the first comic book featuring the caped crusader as a title character. The Batman in this first comic book—just as he was some 682 issues later—was dark, sullen, and almost villainous. Nowhere is the dark and conflicted Batman better depicted than in The Dark Knight1—dare I call it the best offering from a franchise that includes not just the classic TV series and the comics but also graphic novels, traditional novels, cartoons, and feature films.
