Steve McQueen’s Year 3 as anti-Brexit art
Citizenship, migration and urban belonging in mega-cities are infrequently discussed in relation to young members of society. When visually staged to reflect a rescaling of multicultural membership and optimism for the future, the classroom and its young learners become a testing ground for interculturalism. In Steve McQueen’s Year 3 photography installation at the Tate Britain in 2019, London school classrooms and its 7 and 8-year-old pupils rai…
Bae Doona and Yi So-yeon as Korean-cosmopolitan celebrities
This article explores what elevates the actress Bae Doona and astronaut Yi So-yeon to the level of ‘Korean-cosmopolitan celebrities.’ Our contradictory but efficacious coinage recognizes their Koreanness and outstanding achievements on behalf of different industries – with work in film and aerospace – yet such identity and cultural position are rare in South Korea because it showcases the value and necessity of humanitarian activities that resist…
Seaports as criminal gateways in contemporary South Korean cinema
This article examines the seaport as a trope in contemporary cinema in relation to notions of spatiality, illicit globalization, and border studies. We analyze how seaports as social and cultural networks of built environment and infrastructure have become gateways to illicit globalization. We then provide a critical analysis that unbundles these spaces in the film genre of neo-noir out of South Korea. Our focus then zooms in on real organized cr…
Photographic and cinematic appropriation of atrocity images from Cambodia
As a harrowing sub-discipline of English and Comparative Literature, Trauma Studies is in need of geographical expansion beyond its moorings in European genocides of the 20th century. In this article, the authors chart the institutional and cinematic appropriation of atrocity images in relation to the Khmer Rouge’s auto-genocide from 1975–1979 in Cambodia. They analyse the cultural and scholarly value of these images in conjunction with genocide …
The Significance of Beyond Hallyu Film and Television Content in South Korea's Mediasphere
Korea.net, “the official website of the Republic of Korea” provided by the Korean Culture and Information Service as an arm of the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, defines Hallyu as
Beyond Hallyu
The dominance of English language work on Hallyu reveals the extent to which it needs to be considered as “multi-layered and multi-directional,” given that it creates so many socio-cultural contacts that take “place across, beyond, and outside national and institutional boundaries." While Hallyu products, through various approved “productive, distributive and cultural processes” have become at the very least “a semi-global phenomenon,” beyond Hal…
Testing Voter Responses to New Style Judicial Campaign Appeals
Historically, judicial campaigns in America centered on candidate appeals to experience and expertise in the law. In more recent years, state supreme court campaigns have become more issue‐based, representing a “new style” campaign as termed by public law scholars. This study examines how voters respond to judicial candidates’ policy‐based appeals versus traditional appeals to experience. Using an experiment embedded in the 2010 Cooperative Congr…

New Style” Campaigning, Citizen Knowledge, and Sources of Legitimacy for State Courts
In this study, we explore whether perceptions of the Texas Supreme Court's legitimacy are influenced by “new style” judicial campaigns and levels of political sophistication. Using a statewide survey of Texas registered voters, we find that knowledge about the Texas judiciary and politics more generally is associated with higher levels of support for the state's supreme court. However, an embedded experiment manipulating a judicial candidate's pa…

After the Supreme Word
In this article, I explore the role that “reception” of Supreme Court cases plays in attitude change. By reception, I mean that individuals must be exposed to and understand Court cases to be influenced by them. I conducted a quasi-experiment during June 2005 to test whether receiving McCreary v. ACLU and Van Orden v. Perry increases the probability of attitude change on public displays of the Ten Commandments. I also examine the relationships am…
