    Cobus Van StadenARTICLEJournal of African Cultural Studies2017Citada por: 11Referencias: 25

    Since its initial popularization in Africa during the 1970s, Hong Kong martial arts cinema has enjoyed remarkably consistent popularity. This paper analyses some of the causes for this phenomenon by focusing on the consumption of Hong Kong martial arts cinema in South Africa during apartheid.

  • The Golden Glow of the Alps

    Open AccessCobus Van StadenCHAPTERGenre in Asian Film and Television2011

    In 2007, I attended a conference where a German architect spoke about the use of public space in South Korea. Specifically, he referred to the plethora of billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising. Flipping through a collection of images on his laptop, he came to one of a beaming blonde couple towering over Seoul. Isn't it disturbing, said the architect, that despite the economic success of East Asia, they still feel the need to use image…
