  • “PRESENCE” of JAPAN in KOREA's POPULAR MUSIC CULTURE by Eun-Young Ju
    TRANSNATIONAL CULTURAL TRAFFIC IN NORTHEAST ASIA: THE “PRESENCE” OF JAPAN IN KOREA’S POPULAR MUSIC CULTURE by Eun-Young Jung M.A. in Ethnomusicology, Arizona State University, 2001 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2007 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Eun-Young Jung It was defended on April 30, 2007 and approved by Richard Smethurst, Professor, Department of History Mathew Rosenblum, Professor, Department of Music Andrew Weintraub, Associate Professor, Department of Music Dissertation Advisor: Bell Yung, Professor, Department of Music ii Copyright © by Eun-Young Jung 2007 iii TRANSNATIONAL CULTURAL TRAFFIC IN NORTHEAST ASIA: THE “PRESENCE” OF JAPAN IN KOREA’S POPULAR MUSIC CULTURE Eun-Young Jung, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2007 Korea’s nationalistic antagonism towards Japan and “things Japanese” has mostly been a response to the colonial annexation by Japan (1910-1945). Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • The New Playlist Powerplays 2
    ISSUE 367 | 27 MAY 2015 Contents thereport 06 Beyond music: Music’s future focus – it’s in the game 07 Pinboard: Stats, deals, startups and more 09 Country profile: Taiwan Play-ola The new playlist powerplays 2 ISSUE 367 27.05.15 COVER FEATURE laylists are becoming one of the important currencies of the streaming music world, bringing with them big opportunities for labels of all sizes, Pbut also plenty of potential for shenanigans – including payola. Spotify is at the centre of this trend: it has the most playlists (whether created by users, labels or its own in-house team), and the most popular ones, with plenty of individual playlists accumulating hundreds of thousands of followers. The famous (and over-familiar) story of Sean Parker’s Hipster International playlist (pictured left) helping to break Lorde globally was just the start. Spotify’s recent launch of its “Now” homescreen put playlists even more front and centre on the streaming service. Remember the days when the big streaming services could be accused of being little more than “search boxes” stuck on top of a sprawling catalogue of music? In 2015, Spotify’s emphasis is fast becoming a programmed, radio-style music service, driven by its in-house-curated playlists and (to a lesser extent) by the popular playlists created by labels and individual users. “As we get more mainstream, and as people start changing their user behaviours with Spotify, I think we’ll see programmed playlists becoming more and more influential,” Play-ola said Spotify’s director of label relations, Will The new playlist powerplays Hope, at The Great Escape conference in Brighton (UK) earlier this month.

  • Le Videocassette? Un Esilarante Test Con I Bambini Per Capire La Rivoluzione Digitale
    Le videocassette? Un esilarante test con i bambini per capire la rivoluzione digitale Su You Tube è “virale” un video divertente e intelligente dei fratelli Fine su come i bambini reagiscono di fronte a un videoregistratore, di quelli in voga negli anni Ottanta e primi Novanta. DETROIT. Non è passato chissà quanto tempo da quando si armeggiava con i videoregistratori, VCR (Video Cassette Recorder), e con le videocassette per registrare programmi tv o per vedere film in affitto, le VHS (Video Home System). Poi fu il tempo dei DVD, (Digital Versatile Disc) poi ancora delle diavolerie che di anno in anno sono state e sono sfornate sul mercato e che ci offrono modi nuovi e sempre più facili e diretti per vedere e ascoltare, rivedere e riascoltare, quel che più ci aggrada, senza troppe manovre, senza ingombranti marchingegni. E altre tecnologie sono in arrivo per il nostro sollazzo ottico e acustico ovunque ci troviamo. Quando capita di scovare in cantina qualche videocassette sotto una coltre di polvere, ci viene un moto di tenerezza, quando ne vediamo qualcuna in un mercato delle pulci ci verrebbe voglia di acquistarne una. Non sono solo ricordi di una fruizione, ma sono anche ricordi di un tempo. Quando Walter Veltroni, allora direttore dell’Unità, s’inventò lo stratagemma di distribuire con il quotidiano fondato da Antonio Gramsci, figurine di calciatori, libri e poi videocassette di film, sembrò una mossa audace e anticonformista. O al contrario suonò come scandalo, il giornale comunista che tira su le vendite con operazioni di consumo. E già perché c’era anche chi comprava l’Unità solo per tenersi la videocassetta, e immediatamente si sbarazzava del giornale di carta.

  • Cyber Security
    1 February 2017 Synopsis Scroll to read full summaries with links to news articles. Following a cyber attack on senior politicians in the Czech Republic, the government has made public their suspicion of Nation-state involvement in the hack. The complex malware is believed to have affected the country for several months, with Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek hinting at Russia’s possible involvement. Donald Trump has this week issued an executive order reducing the data privacy protections of foreigners. The move has raised concern for the EU-US data privacy agreement, as the EU may look to abandon the agreement if equal protection is not guaranteed for its citizens. The Belgian telecommunications regulator BIPT has this week cleared operator Proximus of breaching EU net neutrality regulations, finding that the use of favourite apps to give limited charge free use of social media did not breach zero rating restrictions. In the United States this week the biggest digital issue has been the series of executive orders yet to be signed on cyber security. A much vaunted order for Cabinet appointees to be responsible for the cyber security of their departments has been postponed, along with an order calling for a 60 day report on the nation’s cyber security. Elsewhere Ajit Pai the new chair of the FCC has stated his intention to repeal regulations adopted during the Obama administration. Amongst these regulations will be net neutrality, which Mr Pai wants to repeal, though he has been less forthcoming on whether the FCC will continue to enforce the regulations until their repeal.

Shorter than most television episodes and distributed on online platforms like YouTube, web series both draw on and deviate from traditional TV storytelling strategies. In this thesis, I compare the production and storytelling strategies of "derivative" web series based on broadcast television shows with "original" web series created for the Internet, focusing on the evolution of scripted entertainment content online.
