Using the concept of mimicry to think through hallyu's adaptation of American sensibilities and genres, he shows how the commercialization of Korean popular culture has upended the familiar dynamic of major-to-minor cultural influence, enabling hallyu to become a dominant global cultural phenomenon. At the same time, its worldwide popularity has rendered its Koreanness opaque. Kim argues that Korean cultural subjectivity over the past two decades is one steeped in ethnic rather than national identity. Explaining how South Korea leaped over the linguistic and cultural walls surrounding a supposedly \"minor\" culture to achieve global ascendance, Kim positions K-pop, Korean cinema and television serials, and even electronics as transformative acts of reappropriation that have created a hegemonic global ethnic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKyung Hyun Kim is Professor in East Asian Studies at the University of California, Irvine, author of \u003ci\u003eVirtual Hallyu: Korean Cinema of the Global Era\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Remasculinization of Korean Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eThe Korean Popular Culture Reader\u003c\/i\u003e, all also published by Duke University Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45663160074342,"sku":"9781478014492","price":55.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/aW1SY251clB1ZU5NN3BjcVVlRG9Ydz09.webp?v=1779817827","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/hegemonic-mimicry-korean-popular-culture-of-the-twenty-first-century-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
