  • 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.

  • Queer Performance in the Post-Millennial Scramble
    QUEER PERFORMANCE IN THE POST-MILLENNIAL SCRAMBLE MOYNAN KING A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Moynan King, 2019 ii Abstract The subject of this dissertation is contemporary queer feminist performance in Canada. My practice-informed research takes a unique approach to studying performance through what I call the “queer performance scramble”—a term that draws on the multiple meanings of “scramble” to understand the aesthetics of queer performance and its challenges to stable conceptions of both identity and temporality. I investigate works that are happening now and that scramble the sticky elements of their own cultural constructions and queer temporalities. The temporal turn in queer theory supports my engagement with the effects of temporality, performativity, and history on queer performance, and, conversely, the effects of queer performance on time. I am equally interested in the formal and material dimensions of the work I study. I look to the content, style, material conditions, and social scenes of queer feminist performance from the perspective of both an academic and an artist to make accessible work that is often marginalized within Canadian cultural production ecology. Chapter 1 investigates queer feminist hauntings with an analysis of Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue’s Killjoy’s Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House. Chapter 2 argues that cabaret is the primary site for queer feminist performance in Canada, and when framed as a methodological problem/solution matrix, both the celebratory and limiting potential of the form can be explored.

  • 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.

När det var jag som började vara ansvarig för uppdateringarna. Det allra tidigaste beviset jag kan finna på en lista som det med hundraprocentig säkerhet var jag som stod för är från december 2014. Så jag har inte riktigt gjort det i ett decennium än. Men jag är rätt säker på att det här är den absolut största uppdateringen jag har gjort. I alla fall är det, utan minsta tvivel, den största uppdateringen på så här kort tid, eftersom det inte ens var två månader sedan den förra listan. Vi hade nämligen förra månaden ett litet event. En karaokemakartävling som löpte över fyra veckor. Summa summarum: Över hundra nya låtar i listan. Plus ett gäng uppdaterade versioner av sånt vi redan hade. Själv har jag se’n sist i princip bara gjort One Piece och Nichijou-låtar, så där finns det diverse nytt att hämta. Högst takt höll Nea, som dessutom fokuserade mycket på nyare populära serier.

Ridgeway Dissertation Committee: V. H. Vig1ielmo, Chairperson Joel R. Cohn Robert N. Huey Lucy B. Lower Joseph O'Mealy © Copyright 2002 by William Nelson Ridgeway iii For it migliorfabbro -Dante's Purgatorio xxvi, II? iv Abstract Tbis dissertation employs categories of analysis that previously have been under-appreciated, Ignored or unapplied in S6seki studies-gender, the body, and desire-both for textual explication and to examine the intrapersonal relationships in the novels ofNatsume S6seki (1867-1916), with emphasis placed on his final, uncompleted work, Meian (Light and Darkness, 1916). Instead of presenting literary representations of prevailing Meiji ideological positions such as risshin shuss. (rising in the world) entrepreneurism and success scenarios for men or ry6sai kenbo (good wives, wise mothers) domestic scenarios for women. S6seki focuses on erotic triangles which expose gender difference and gender inequalities of Meiji-Taish6 Japan. Investigation of fictional erotic triangles also reveals the possibility of homosocial desire in an age when discourse was increasingly antithetical to non-nonnative expressions of male-male desire. Soseki's gender representations frequently invert conventional gender expectations with his depictions of passive males and women desiring mastery over the male, and these depictions in tum are mapped and analyzed throughout the novelist's brief ten-year career as a novelist.

  • Reformulating Physical Disability in Dance Name: Eimir Mcgrath
    Title: Beyond integration: reformulating physical disability in dance Name: Eimir McGrath This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. BEYOND INTEGRATION: REFORMULATING PHYSICAL DISABILITY IN DANCE by EIMIR MCGRATH A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 BEYOND INTEGRATION: REFORMULATING PHYSICAL DISABILITY IN DANCE BY EIMIR MCGRATH ABSTRACT Dance performance that is inclusive of dancers with differing corporealities has the potential to generate positive societal change with regard to perceptions of physical difference. Dance is a valuable site for exploring the placement of the physically disabled body in contemporary society, and for disrupting existing perceptions of disability as transgressive. This can come about through the embodied presence of both dancer and viewer, entering into a relationship grounded in intersubjectivity, without having to rely on symbolic signification. This thesis examines the placement of disabled bodies in dance performance from the intersecting perspectives of Critical Disability Studies, Performance Studies and Interpersonal Neurobiology in order to formulate a framework for theorizing perceptions of disability, the act of viewing dance and the impact of choreographic intent on viewers’ perceptions of physical difference. In the first section, the sociopolitical placing of disabled bodies in western society is interrogated and a historiological study of both disability identity and the emergence of integrated dance is critically analysed. The second section provides detailed analyses of three dance performances that are inclusive of dancers with physical disabilities: GIMP (2009), Heidi Latsky, Diagnosis of a Faun (2009) Tamar Rogoff, and water burns sun (2009) Petra Kuppers.
