Its contributors link several key areas of interest in East Asian Studies, including conflicts over historical memories and cultural production, grassroots challenges to state ideology, and the consequences of digital technology in Japan and South Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking recent discourse on Japan and South Korea as popular cultural superpowers further, this book expands its focus from mainstream entertainment media to the lived experience of daily life, in which sentiments and perceptions of the \"popular\" are formed. It will be useful to students and scholars of Japanese and Korean studies, as well as film studies, media studies and cultural studies more widely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rumi Sakamoto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367520257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367520250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Rumi Sakamoto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057232212223,"sku":"9780367520250","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57b229d5-2681-4d07-879b-d78beba6ea5b.jpg?v=1685045790","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/popular-culture-and-the-transformation-rumi-sakamoto-9780367520250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
