{"ModuleCode":"SC2880B","ModuleTitle":"Korean Pop Culture: Postmodernism and the Transnational","Department":"Sociology","ModuleDescription":"This course is an introduction to contemporary Korean popular cultures that explores the hybridized transnational nature of their production content and contexts, their status as postmodern objects, and as commodities of global circulation. Central to this is the emergence of “New Asia”, signified by the postmodern everydayness that manifests across a range of Korean popular content. It also considers the transnational flows that encourage the employment of globalization and transnationalisation strategies in industry, emphasising the neoliberal capitalist social environment and demonstrating how “New Asia” functions as a new cultural hub in the contemporary global popular market.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-6-0-10-10","Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Monday","StartTime":"1400","EndTime":"1700","Venue":"AS-DV"},{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Friday","StartTime":"1400","EndTime":"1700","Venue":"AS-DV"}],"LecturePeriods":["Friday Afternoon","Monday Afternoon"]}
