In the broad context of understanding this mechanism, this dissertation focuses on the residents’ social relationships based on the neighborhood and their effects on mental health and well-being. Concentrating on the experiences of the apartment residents in Pangyo, Seoul metropolitan area, Korea, this study discusses and seeks answers to the following questions: 1) what are the nature/characteristics (essences) of experienced local social relationships of residents in the neighborhood which consists of multi-layered high-rise apartment complexes; 2) how do spatial characteristics of such residential settings contribute to the experiences of local social relationships; and 3) how do residents’ experiences of local social relationships from their everyday living environment contribute to their mental health and well-being. Through a phenomenological research, including dialogical-conversational interviews and thematic analysis, the discourse of twenty-eight women residents about their years of experiences in the neighborhood were explored.

  • KOREAN DISCOURSE and GENRE Materials for Intermediate/Advanced Korean Based on the National Standards
    KOREAN DISCOURSE AND GENRE Materials for Intermediate/Advanced Korean Based on the National Standards Susan Strauss and HeeSun Chang The Pennsylvania State University The Korean Wave — 한류 (韓韓): K-POP 엑소 (EXO) ©CENTER FOR ADVANCED LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (CALPER) – THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY 1 THE KOREAN WAVE 한류 (韓韓) INTRODUCTION The Standards for Korean Language Teaching have recently been developed and published through ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages). They center on five basic concepts, referred to as the 5Cs: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities and are intended to replace the more mechanical and artificial categories of proficiency, commonly known as the “4 skills” of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The 5Cs of the Standards shift the focus away from the “skill” of language and instead highlight elements of language that are linked to people and culture and discourse. At the same time, the Standards provide teachers and learners with specific, concrete sets of goals to strive for in learning and teaching Korean. The units developed in this series, Korean Discourse and Genre, are designed to complement existing pedagogical materials for Korean. They contain authentic, media-based samples of actual language used in Korea by Koreans for specific interactional purposes: television programs (e.g., talk shows, reality shows, news, weather reports), radio programs, films, internet-based discourse (interviews, reviews, blogs, news items, recipes), and the like. The focus of our units is on Discourse and Genre. Discourse relates generally to language and how language is used in these various communicative contexts. Genre refers to the specific ways in which particular features of language combine to create a certain type of discourse, e.g., conversation, expository writing, formal interview, recipes, weather reports, diary entries, and so forth.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Hyejin Jo Degree: Master of Arts Title: A Feminist Political Economy of the Korean Popular Music Industry Examining Committee: Chair: Daniel Ahadi Lecturer Dal Yong Jin Senior Supervisor Professor Martin Laba Supervisor Associate Professor Ju Oak Kim External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Psychology and Communication College of Arts and Sciences at Texas A&M International University Date Defended/Approved: July 12, 2019 ii Abstract Gender disparity is an emerging issue in contemporary South Korea. Despite the significant increase in gendered concerns, there has been a lack of discussion on gender inequality problems in the Korean popular music industry. For this reason, this thesis aims to investigate gender inequalities and power relations embedded in the male-dominated Korean popular music industry by analyzing the texts, images and music of Korean girl groups through the lens of a feminist political economy. In doing so, this study utilizes textual analysis in order to examine how gendered hierarchy and patriarchal power, acting as industrial practices, exploit Korean girl groups in the Korean popular music industry.

    The Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction: Reclaiming “Real Person” Fanfiction as K-Pop Industry Practice Sooyun (Clara) Hong East Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts McGill University, Montreal June 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts ©Sooyun Hong, 2020 1 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Abrégé 4 Acknowledgements 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1 – What’s in a (Stage) Name? Public Personas, Private Selves, and the Transgression of Authenticity 33 Chapter 2 – “Characterizing” K-Pop Idols: Alternate Universe Fanfiction and the K-Pop Concept 56 Chapter 3 – Believing in the Unusual: Slash Fanfiction and Homoerotic Fan Service 75 Conclusion 94 Works Cited 99 2 Abstract RPF, or “real person fiction,” is a genre of fanfiction that writes about real people rather than fictional characters. Over the past decade, the number of RPF works written about K-pop idols has steadily increased, but RPF remains a controversial practice even within fanfiction communities. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the influence of fictional media practices such as fanfiction in the construction of the celebrity text. This thesis compares three practices found in K-pop RPF to three practices found in the K-pop industry in order to argue that K-pop fanfiction writers and the K-pop industry perform similar practices in pursuit of broader fan desires. Ultimately, the K-pop idol embodies a new model of celebrity that consciously moves between the “public” and the “private” in order to generate affective value. This movement is grounded in images of the idol’s physical body and given meaning through the idol group’s network of interpersonal relationships.

  • Anne Frank's Di
    Pakistan School Attack On the 17th December 2014, a greatly upsetting attack took place in Pakistan. Taliban terrorists shot 132 children [aging from twelve to six- teen], ten school staff members, including the principal of the school, and three soldiers in the Army Public School and Degree College. A hundred people were also injured, many having gunshot wounds. It was found out that the terrorists burst into the auditorium where a large number of students were taking an exam and gunned down many of them within minutes. A 14-year-old survivor, Ahmed Faraz, recalled that one of the terrorists ordered his men to kill all the children hiding under the benches. They carried on shooting incessantly. Parents send their children to school expecting them to be safe. How- ever in some countries, school is not as safe as schools in Singapore. So, we should stay alert and be thankful to have this privilege for the safe en- vironment where we study in. It was also said that the students thought that the attack was a drill. As a result, most of them did not take it very seriously. Having said that, many of us tend to take drills in school lightly by joking around and thinking that it is a waste of time.

My love you are my everything My love you are my everything Why don’t you know 나의 사랑을 (나의 넌 내 꺼) 야 영원히. So painful propane을 너와 나의 불신 위에 뿌린 듯 태워버려 죽인 우릴 되돌리기엔 너무 멀리 와버린 이 Story는 Nightmare 지나치 게 아낀 게 숨을 쉰 이유가 돼야 했었는데 오히려 네 숨을 막았네 홀로 남아 어둠을 삼킨 방안에 Damn. 왜 날 밀어내려 해 말해봐요 진심이 아닌 걸 알 수 있는데 자꾸 왜 날 밀어내 다 느껴지는데 아무런 말도 왜 안 해주나요.
