Japanese and Korean Mediascapes: Youth, Popular Culture, and Nation

Friday and Saturday, May 29-30, 2015
Gerlinger Alumni Lounge
The University of Oregon

This two ­day event will explore the globalization of Japanese and Korean popular culture with an eye to major historical movements and media trends. We will investigate how popular music, video games, television dramas, and comics has shaped international relations, soothed historical tensions, and altered commercial landscapes. This is one of the first conferences at the University of Oregon or elsewhere to examine Japanese and Korean popular culture together.
