AI Peril as media-cultural formation: Posthuman anxiety, racialized affect and the governance of childhood in M3GAN
Beyond belonging: A conversation on inauthenticity, third-culture kids, and fandom
This conversational essay brings together Lori Morimoto, Haerin Shin, and Sangita Shresthova in an exploration of inauthenticity, cultural liminality, and the generative tensions of transcultural fandom. Moving across personal narratives and scholarly reflection, this dialogue situates fandom as a contact zone shaped by asymmetrical power relations, affective attachments, and performative negotiations of identity. Drawing on the framework of the …
Salvaging Futurity: Newtro-Punk Epistemics in Space Sweepers
This essay proposes “newtro-punk” as a framework for understanding the Korean science fiction film Space Sweepers (2021) and its intervention into speculative fiction’s colonial genealogy. Newtro (Nyut’ŭro), a portmanteau of “new” and “retro,” focuses not nostalgic recreation but critical reinterpretation of past aesthetic forms to recuperate the visual vocabulary of colonial modernity and developmental hardship. Where silkpunk recovers precoloni…
Decolonial tricks and false disruptors: The anamorphic image of colonial desire in The Handmaiden
The Space between 1s and 0s: Intentional Patiency in Computational Creativity
Challenging humanity’s self-reified monopoly over the domain of hermeneutics, computational creativity destabilizes the foundations of its lexical reference, invoking Walter Benjamin’s musings on the age of technological reproducibility. How may we delineate the parameters of creativity outside the bounds of apperceptive intent, especially if the generative process is strictly reliant upon conditional expressions of correlational nature rather th…
Unlocking the Mindware
“Unlocking the Mindware: Taking Responsibility for the Solipsistic Self in Murakami Haruki’s Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World” addresses the issue of identity formation in relation to neuroscientific technologies by observing a phenomenon called (self-imposed) “locked-in syndrome” portrayed in a speculative fictional setting. Hard-Boiled Wonderland shuttles between two unnamed protagonists—a coder living in a futuristic metropolis …
Tourist Distractions: Traveling and Feeling in Transnational Hallyu Cinema
In March of 2017, the Chinese government banned its citizens from booking trips to South Korea through travel agencies as a show of displeasure with the South Korean government’s decision to install THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense). The idle streets of Myŏngdong now bear little trace of the bustling energy they had enjoyed in 2016 when Hallyu tourism was at its peak; just last summer, hundreds of buses filed into Panpo Han Riverside Pa…
Techno-Orientalism: Imagining Asia in Speculative Fiction, History, and Media. David S. Roh, Betsy Huang, and Greta A. Niu
Beyond Representation and Simulation: Surviving the Age of Mediation and Its Failure in Kim Young-ha’s Quiz Show
This article examines how the melancholic tradition of Korean literature takes a new turn toward epistemological disillusionment through Kim Young-ha’s (Kim Yŏngha) novel K’wijǔ syo (Quiz show, 2007). On the rapidly shifting horizons of unprecedented stability and prosperity, while exposed to the alienating effects of the newly emergent media-driven society where the meaning of community becomes fragmented and obscured behind scintillating screen…
“Into the New World”: Girls’ Generation from the local to the global
This chapter examines the peculiarity of Tablo's incident to explicate a kind of transgressive enjoyment specific to K-pop spectatorship transgressive because the source of pleasure hangs precariously between the violation of and subscription to social norms. Tablo's academic accomplishment was a different variety of "perfection" fans expected to see in the general pool of K-pop idols whose appeal usually rests on physical beauty, musical talent,…
