Asian Communication Research

Call for Papers

Theme Issue on Asian Popular Culture

 

Themes:

Asia has been a site of both interests and controversies. Some have extolled it as a future center of global political economy, while others still view it as a lump of under-developed countries. For many years, Asia has been a test bed for development communication theories. When it comes to popular culture, Asian media capitals such as Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bombay have produced popular media content for global audiences for several decades. More recently, South Korea has joined their ranks by manufacturing popular TV dramas, pop music and films. Korean singer Psy’s Gangnam Style phenomenon a few years ago on the global stages confirmed the influence of Asian popular culture. Further, the influence of Bollywood films is gathering force with the global spread of diasporic audiences equipped with new media technologies. In addition, China is ready to appear as the global power of popular cultural production and consumption. At this critical juncture of Asian media and cultural development, Asian Communication Research invites papers that address any theme that are related to Asian popular culture for this special issue.
