Chapter 14 The Pan-Asian ‘Miss Granny’ Phenomenon
Place-Branding and (Constructed) Intangible Heritage: The Manufacture of Ostensible and Virtual Korean Micronations in Naminara and Hotel Del Luna
Most micronations located in South Korea have only a virtual existence and little, if any, public recognition. The exception is Nami Island, which branded itself as the Naminara Republic in 2006, and is a popular and financially successful tourist resort. This article considers aspects of place-branding applied to Nami Island and draws comparisons with the eponymous setting of the acclaimed television series Hotel Del Luna (2018). The physical is…
Memory, Trauma and History
This chapter discusses two productions that blend Korean and Western traditions, a short film and a 16-part television series. Korean “fairy-tale” films and television dramas seek to represent what is important about Korea through the use of traditional folktale and legendary elements. Korean folktale in film and television drama is mined for its darker elements and the capacity of the stories to connect with history, memory, trauma and the socie…
Lost in Liminal Space: Amnesiac and Incognizant Ghosts in Korean Drama
Some recent Korean TV drama series have developed narratives that centre on amnesiac or incognizant ghosts. Because of their crucial acts of forgetting and miscomprehension, these ghosts may be used to figure the social injustices and repressed traumas that haunt contemporary South Korean society
Adaptations of Time Travel Narratives in Japanese Multimedia: Nurturing Eudaimonia across Time and Space
To displace a character in time is to depict a character who becomes acutely conscious of his or her status as other, as she or he strives to comprehend and interact with a culture whose mentality is both familiar and different in obvious and subtle ways. Two main types of time travel pose a philosophical distinction between visiting the past with knowledge of the future and trying to inhabit the future with past cultural knowledge, but in either…
Lures and Horrors of Alterity: Adapting Korean Tales of Fox Spirits
Core incidents and motifs in retellings and adaptations of Korean folktales about supernatural foxes, known as Gumihos, have coalesced into a common, readily recognised fox-woman script. Since the end of the 1980s, the fox-woman script has become a focus for cultural conflict. The traditional stories are acknowledged to be part of Korea's intangible cultural heritage, and as such have been retold conservatively to preserve that heritage (especial…
Diasporan Subjectivity and Cultural Space in Korean American Picture Books
The "Third Wave" of Korean Immigration to the United States, following the liberalizing of National Quotas under the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, was characterized by a significant shift in the migrant profile, in that families immigrated as well as individuals,1 and this pattern has continued. Consequently, the literature produced by (and about) members of the Korean diaspora in the United States began to give expression to the experience of children a…
Performing Community: A Comparison of Korean-Language Newspapers in Beijing and Sydney
More than six million Koreans now live outside Korea, in 173 countries, according to data released in 2003 by the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Jungang Ilbo 7 Feb. 2004). This number represents 13% of all Korean people and hence constitutes a diaspora of highly significant proportions. As migration from Korea continues, and the number of generations born outside Korea increases, identifiably "Korean" identities both prolifer…
