  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Rupaul's Drag Race
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

  • Partnership Between Southeast Asian Startups and Japanese Companies and Possibilities of Listing on the TSE Mothers Board
    Partnership between Southeast Asian Startups and Japanese Companies and Possibilities of Listing on the TSE Mothers Board By Kaori Iwasaki ([email protected]) Senior Economist Economics Department Japan Research Institute Summary 1. Japanese companies are starting to form partnerships with Southeast Asia’s continually proliferating startups. Initially this trend was led mainly by young companies in the e-commerce sector, but more recently traditional large corporations are also starting to partner with Southeast Asian startups. There are two motives for the Japanese companies. First, partnering is seen as a stepping-stone for developing new markets in Southeast Asia or strengthening existing opera- tions there. Second, partnerships allow companies to acquire cutting-edge know-how, such as mobility or blockchain technologies, or to keep up with new trends. 2. For their part, Southeast Asian startups have three main motives for partnering with Japa- nese companies: to acquire technologies owned by the Japanese companies, to utilize their net- works, and to gain a foothold in Japan. 3. Partnering between Japanese companies and Southeast Asian startups may be a way to halt the decline in Japan’s presence in Southeast Asia. Partnering leads to the development of new markets or the reinforcement of business operations in Southeast Asian markets, and Japanese companies can improve their competitiveness and raise their profiles in the region. Side-benefits that can further enhance the competitiveness of Japanese companies include (1) better awareness of challenges and business opportunities in Southeast Asia, (2) opportunities to ride the South- east Asian wave of change, and (3) the ability to harness the growth potential of Southeast Asian companies.

    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/2516-8142.htm IHR 32,1 The restauranteurship of Hong Kong’s premium Japanese restaurant market 8 Watson Baldwin Faculty of Management and Hospitality, Received 5 July 2018 Revised 8 September 2018 Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Accepted 9 September 2018 Abstract Purpose – Hong Kong has a global reputation as an entrepreneurial hub. The Japanese restaurant community has grown and evolved over the last three decades into what many consider as a natural secondary market for Japanese food. As such, several Japanese restaurateurs have come to Hong Kong to enter Hong Kong’s premium Japanese restaurant market. The purpose of this paper is to explore this market of Japanese restauranteurship in Hong Kong. Design/methodology/approach – One of the closest methodologies within the topic and discipline from Baldwin (2017) focuses on Japaneseness as a measurement of culinary authenticity examining Hong Kong’s Michelin rated restaurants. Here, the qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with the chefs of two sets of premium Japanese restaurants from Japan that expanded in Hong Kong, Sushi Iwa and Sushi Yoshitake. As this paper focuses on the premium and high-end market of Japanese chefs and restaurateurs in Hong Kong, the researcher combined the approaches of Kawahara & Speece and Baldwin to pursue a qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews. Findings – For this research, the interview process had to be divided into two stages. The first was to speak with long standing members of Hong Kong’s Japanese restaurant community.

  • Interpreting the Television Format Phenomenon Between South Korea and China Through Inter-Asian Frameworks
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2332–2349 1932–8036/20170005 Interpreting the Television Format Phenomenon Between South Korea and China Through Inter-Asian Frameworks YOUNGHAN CHO1 HONGRUI ZHU Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, South Korea This study examines the recent popularity of Korean television shows, their format contracts, and various remakes in China. Rather than focusing on specific cases, it attempts to develop a theoretical understanding on the regional flows of television programs through inter-Asian frameworks. In so doing, it suggests reframing the television format phenomenon between South Korea and China as cultural assemblages, which include not only the details of format contracts but also the reciprocal interchanges of various levels of human, financial, and cultural elements. Approaching television formats as cultural assemblages contributes to framing the format phenomenon as an inter-Asian wave rather than limiting it to a nation-centric approach. In so doing, inter-Asian frameworks approach the format phenomenon as a tool for facilitating cultural encountering, mutual understanding, and social imaginations among regional people. As a conclusion, we suggest that Korean Wave studies is ready to produce a theoretical perspective or concepts and to provide another idiosyncratic yet compatible model in global television studies. Keywords: television program, format studies, cultural assemblage, inter-Asian wave, Korean Wave studies This study explores the recent popularity of Korean television programs and their Chinese remakes, including contracts of the formats, their franchises, and the skilled personnel involved in the productions. By deploying an inter-Asian framework, this study suggests approaching such format phenomena between South Korea and China as cultural processes.
