Tackling local policies, immigration, the criminal justice system and racial inequality, De-Bug uses sto- rytelling and community organizing to inform and educate the public about matters they believe should take the forefront of community discussions. The organization launched a new online platform on Oct. 11, called a Day in a California Court. It was designed to further expand their storytelling by running a public diary of California court systems, contributed by organizations similar to themselves, across the state. The platform provides a real-time win- dow into the happenings in courts around states through stories and videos posted by the local community as well as data and reports collected from local courtrooms. Visitors of the site are able to select between eight different counties to see the gathered information NICHOLAS ZAMORA | SPARTAN DAILY streamlined according to courts In coordination with The Burning Man Project and the City of San Jose Offi ce of Cultural Aff airs, the HAHA art piece by Laura Kimpton with Jeff Schomberg illuminates the Hammer Theatre downtown.

  • Conceptually Androgynous
    Umeå Center for Gender Studies Conceptually androgynous The production and commodification of gender in Korean pop music Petter Almqvist-Ingersoll Master Thesis in Gender Studies Spring 2019 Thesis supervisor: Johanna Overud, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Stemming from a recent surge in articles related to Korean masculinities, and based in a feminist and queer Marxist theoretical framework, this paper asks how gender, with a specific focus on what is referred to as soft masculinity, is constructed through K-pop performances, as well as what power structures are in play. By reading studies on pan-Asian masculinities and gender performativity - taking into account such factors as talnori and kkonminam, and investigating conceptual terms flower boy, aegyo, and girl crush - it forms a baseline for a qualitative research project. By conducting qualitative interviews with Swedish K-pop fans and performing semiotic analysis of K-pop music videos, the thesis finds that although K-pop masculinities are perceived as feminine to a foreign audience, they are still heavily rooted in a heteronormative framework. Furthermore, in investigating the production of gender performativity in K-pop, it finds that neoliberal commercialism holds an assertive grip over these productions and are thus able to dictate ‘conceptualizations’ of gender and project identities that are specifically tailored to attract certain audiences. Lastly, the study shows that these practices are sold under an umbrella of ‘loyalty’ in which fans are incentivized to consume in order to show support for their idols – in which the concept of desire plays a significant role. Keywords: Gender, masculinity, commercialism, queer, Marxism Contents Acknowledgments ................................................................................................................................... 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................................

Adapting the scripts given in class, they designed the scenes and performed in front of all junior students. They did not disappoint as everyone enjoyed the show. However, this could not have been achieved without the help of the backstage crew. So for now, let's see what our interviewee reveals about the operation behind the curtains!

Since the late 1980s, Korean pop music has aspired to be a more advanced industry and establish an international presence, based on the economic leap and democratization as a springboard. Contemporary K-pop, originating from the underground dance scene in the 1980s, succeeded in transforming Korean pop music into a modern and youth-oriented genre with a new style dubbed "rap/dance music." The rise of dance music changed the landscape of Korean popular music and became the cornerstone of the K-pop idol music. In the era of globalization, K-pop’s unique aesthetics and strategy, later termed “Cultural Technology,” achieved substantial returns in the international market. Throughout this evolution, Korean Americans were vital players who brought K-pop closer to its mission of modern and international pop music. In the age of globalization, K-pop's modernity and identity are evolving in a new way.
