This section of the prophetic. book was deemed an appropriate area for the research, since the foreign nation oracle genre is inherently interesting as one of the earliest, if not the earliest form of Hebrew prophecy, and also since the section is recognizably a coherent whole, distinct from the surrounding material. This distinctness is emphasized by the circumstance that in the Septuagint Versiong the foreign nation oracles are located in a different part of the book of Jeremiah, and it is this peculiarity., and the problems contingent upon it, which have figured very largely in scholarly work on chapters 46-51.

    The Korean Wave As a Localizing Process: Nation As a Global Actor in Cultural Production

    THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ju Oak Kim May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Patrick Murphy, Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Dal Yong Jin, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University © Copyright 2016 by Ju Oak Kim All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the production system. This research focused on how three agencies – the government, public broadcasting, and the culture industry – have negotiated their relationships in the process of globalization, and how the power dynamics of these three production sectors have been influenced by Korean society’s politics, economy, geography, and culture. The importance of the national media system was identified in the (re)production of the Korean Wave phenomenon by examining how public broadcasting-centered media ecology has control over the development of the popular music culture within Korean society. The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS)’s weekly show, Music Bank, was the subject of analysis regarding changes in the culture of media production in the phase of globalization. In-depth interviews with media professionals and consumers who became involved in the show production were conducted in order to grasp the patterns that Korean television has generated in the global expansion of local cultural practices.

    Hallyu at a Crossroads: the Clash of Korea's Soft Power Success and China's Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High

    Asian International Studies Review Vol. 18 No.1 (June 2017): 153-169 153 Received March 15, 2017 Revised May 10, 2017 Accepted May 20, 2017 Hallyu at a Crossroads: The Clash of Korea’s Soft Power Success and China’s Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System Deployment HANNAH JUN* The past two decades have witnessed the remarkable success of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, with Korea welcoming a large influx of foreign visitors and benefiting from massive consumption of products ranging from Korean television and film, K-pop and lifestyle products. A more recent announcement by CJ E&M points to an even more aggressive plan for regional ubiquity, as encapsulated by Hallyu 4.0. Simultaneously, we have already felt some of the effect of policy changes in China – a core Hallyu market – as a response to Korea’s plan to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. In this sense, we see the stirrings of a clash between Korean soft power and Chinese hard power, and are uncertain who will emerge on top. This paper examines the broad success of Hallyu from key theoretical perspectives, while addressing linkages between Korean corporations and cultural power/influence that have led to an announcement such as Hallyu 4.0. This paper also highlights the recent tensions between Korea and China, specifically with respect to THAAD deployment, and outlines potential implications for businesses and policymakers through preliminary scenarios.

Nowadays we have access to information about so many different cultures, countries, economies, different organizations, and so on. Thanks to the Internet, we have access to a whole new world in just a click. This is the main characteristic of the actual global situation. Personally, I am always amazed of this fact, being able to “travel" with just a click, being able to communicate with someone on the other side of the world, being able to know exactly what is happening, for example, in Australia while being in Spain, and more.

The purpose of this thesis was to study the marketing activities of two case compa- nies, SM Entertainment and BigHit Entertainment, and two of their boy music groups, NCT and BTS respec- tively. The focus of this thesis was to showcase the groups’ promotional activities in the U.S. and to study the usage of marketing mix. The thesis is compiled of an empirical study of the K-pop industry and its international activities in the U.S., organized into 3 sections explaining different time periods and the market changes internationally. The mar- keting strategies of the case companies were explained to describe the key concepts the businesses focus on, and the 4Ps of the marketing mix were analyzed in the two groups of BTS and NCT.

    K-pop – What’s in a Name? ACADEMIC ARTICLE: ROUNDTABLE Ed. Dr. Candace Epps-Robertson Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (United States) Ed. Katie Hulme Physicist by day, (amateur) poet by night (United States) Introduction What is a “Roundtable”? A rhizome consists of a multitude of interconnected nodes — and while those nodes might have more that connects than divides them, individual nodes don’t always agree. Learning means being in conversation with one another. Our perspectives are often shaped by our immediate networks and personal experiences, and it never hurts to take a step back and invite some voices to the table — especially those we might not otherwise hear, and those that bring wisdom, experience, and specialized knowledge into the conversation. “ ” 양극화 세상에서 가장 추한 꽃 “Polarization, the ugliest flower in the world” (Agust D, 2020) We have all witnessed heated and emotionally charged debates ignited by particular topics, fueled by the anonymity and speed afforded by social media. Discussions can quickly become polarized, and when polarization begins to play, discourse often begins to falter. Slowing down, taking time to pause, engaging with the ideas of others, and listening are essential to growth and creating new knowledge. The most famous roundtable is probably that of the legendary King Arthur, who insisted that his knights sit at a roundtable because such a table has no head — thus no designated leader. The purpose of a roundtable is to invite individuals into a space where the notion of “us” and “them” is temporarily dispelled, and each voice is given an equal platform to articulate itself.

Hamilton, Chair Daniel Chirot Yong-Chool Ha Becky Pettit Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Sociology University of Washington Abstract Making East Asian Consumers: Formation and Evolution of Demand in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China Solee Irene Shin Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gary G. Hamilton Department of Sociology This dissertation examines the rise of organized retailing in East Asia. It pays attention to the roles of market makers as intermediary market players who act between the producers and consumers, especially in the contexts of national retail organization and expansion activities of multinational retailers. Theoretically, the dissertation combines the national business systems literature with a market power perspective to examine the contexts in which different national economies organize their retail sectors and incorporate retail innovations. Empirically, it asks what roles the domestic and global retailers played in building contemporary consumer markets in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and mainland China. It also asks, to what extent the development of consumer markets in Asia and the activities of multinational retailers have brought convergence or continued divergence between the different national markets, retail structures, and cultures of consumption. To answer these questions, the dissertation first pays attention to the links between national and global firms and retail markets, and second, to the links between national firms and products, and lastly, how the structure of global and regional production and national cultures of consumption are mediated by a set of intermediaries.
