So far as I know the popu- lace is mystified still; as for the shock, Chicago is Chicago, and one week’s dismemberment fades into the next’s. The victims this particular year were sisters. They went off one December night to see an Elvis Presley movie, for the sixth or seventh time we are told, and never came home. -

Does K-Pop Reinforce Gender Inequalities? Empirical Evidence from a New Data Set
Asian Women December 2017, Vol. 33, No. 4, pp. 27-54 Does K-pop Reinforce Gender Inequalities? Empirical Evidence from a New Data Set Xi Lin Korea University, Korea Robert Rudolf Korea University, Korea Abstract As K-pop has become a cultural ambassador for Korea, attracting millions of fans across the globe, the sexist portrayal of both female and male idols in K-pop products stands in conflict with the gender-mainstreaming policies to which the country has committed itself. Using a unique and newly collected data set of 6,317 K-pop fans from 100 countries around the world, this study examines the relationship between individual K-pop consumption and gender attitudes of K-pop fans. Findings suggest that a higher level of spending on K-pop related items and activities is related to less egalitarian gender attitudes. Interestingly, this correlation is stronger for fans from already less gender-equal nations. Results indicate that the industry that is actively promoted by the Korean government includes elements that might reinforce a sexist culture and traditional gender roles both within Korea and around the globe, further obstructing women’s pursuit of equal opportunities. Key words K-pop, sexism, sexual objectification, gender stereotypes, gender attitudes Introduction Since the late-2000s, the Korean pop music industry (K-pop), as part of the larger Korean Wave (Hallyu) phenomenon, has experienced un- precedented international success. With K-pop fans as the mainstay of the increasing Hallyu fan base, which just reached 59.4 million in 2016 (The Korea Foundation, 2017), the rise of K-pop has not only brought in hun- dreds of millions of dollars in music export revenue for Korea (KOCCA, 2016; Yonhap, 2016) but has also contributed to the boom of Korea’s cos- metic, fashion, tourism as well as plastic surgery industries. -

HSocial ISSUE Hot Hot Summer: Sizzling it up with more provocative K-pop By James Turnbull Summer’s heating up outside and on-screen, where K-pop’s girl groups have been shedding even more clothes than normal. !e public debate has reached new heights, with critics pointing to ex- cessive female objecti"cation. But, as James Turnbull points out, the controversy is nothing new.

Lincos: Design of a Language for Cosmic Intercourse
LINCOS DESIGN OF A LANGUAGE FOR COSMIC INTERCOURSE PART I Dr. HANS FREUDENTHAL Profemor of Mathematics University of Utrecht 1960 NORTH -HOLLAND PUB LI SHING COMPANY AMSTERDAM INTRODUCTION 0 01. Scientists, artists and artisans tend to develop a terminology of their own. They use common language as a vernacular that will be enriched, impoverished. and modified in order to serve special purposes. The trans- formation may affect not only the vocabulary but also the syntax of the vernacular, though essential syntactical modifications are rather unusual. It is certain, though far from generally admitted, that the meaning of a linguistic term should be determined by its contexts, it is a matter of fact that there cannot be any reasonably uniform opinion about the meaning of a word, if people cannot agree about the truth of the majority of contexts in which the word occurs. It is a common historical feature of many sciences, that their first representatives tried to create a terminology before the stock of known facts was large enough to provide a sufficiently large context for the elements of that terminology. Even now this is a serious drawback for philosophy and the arts. When people do not under- stand each other, this is usually said to be because ‘they speak different languages’. This may be correct as long as “understanding” means a mere linguistic phenomenon. If understanding means intelligence, one may posit the inverse thesis with at least as much justification: People speak different languages because they do not understand each other. (Note that the word language has here a rather unusual meaning.) As long as there is no reasonable agreement about facts and terminology among those who work in a given field, it seems wise to stick as closely as possible to the vernacular, and not to create any new term until it has become possible to define it in a satisfactory way by a sufficiently rich context. -

Pembentukan Identitas Diri Pada Kpopers the Building
Motiva : Jurnal Psikologi 2021, Vol 4, No 1, 18-31 PEMBENTUKAN IDENTITAS DIRI PADA KPOPERS THE BUILDING OF SELF-IDENTITY ON KPOPERS Arif Rahman Hakim(1), Ardhini Mardhiyah(2), Dika Muhammad Irham(3), Nahla Nurkholifah(4), Zulmi Ramdani(5), Andi Amri(6) Fakultas Psikologi UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung(1,2,3,4,5) Sekolah Pascasarjana Universitas Pancasila(6) Email korespondensi: [email protected] Abstrak: Identitas diri merupakan suatu hal yang sangat fundamental dalam diri individu dan seringkali mengalami krisis dalam pembentukannya. Identitas dapat dibentuk dan dipengaruhi oleh budaya yang melekat dalam diri seseorang, kelompok, atau organisasi. Saat ini, informasi dari berbagai budaya dapat dengan mudah terserap dan mempengaruhi pembentukan identitas diri. Salah satunya adalah fenomena “Korean Wave (Hallyu)”, yaitu suatu fenomena dari pesatnya perkembangan budaya Korea. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk melihat bagaimana pembentukan identitas diri individu penggemar KPOP. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling, subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah remaja penggemar KPOP berusia 12-21 tahun, yang memiliki bias atau idola KPOP secara spesifik, pernah membeli barang-barang yang berkaitan dengan KPOP dan mengikuti perkembangan dunia KPOP. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pembentukan identitas diri dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan sosial, kelompok acuan dan tokoh idola. Pembentukan ini didasari oleh aspek eksplorasi terhadap kpop dan komitmen dari identitasnya sebagai kpopers. Dalam proses pembentukannya seluruh subjek telah mencapai tahap identifikasi, meski sebelumnya seorang subjek mengalami tahap krisis identitas dan seorang lainnya mengalami tahap difusi. Hasil menunjukkan motivasi yang menyebabkan perubahan identitasnya menjadi seorang kpopers dan perubahan motivasi hidup adalah motivasi intrinsik dan ekstrinsik.
