East Asian Journal of Popular Culture is the first academic peer-reviewed journal for scholars, teachers, and students from around the world who have an active and passionate interest in the popular culture of East Asia. With the growth in popularity of Asian visual products in the Western world and the increasing strength of the Asian markets, this publication fulfils the need for an international journal that allows Western and Asian film, media, literature, music, fashion, digital media, television, art and cultural scholars alike to engage in discussion. From film to music; art to translation and fashion to tourism, this journal will offer a forum where multidisciplinary work can come together in new and exciting ways.
Included in this issue (partial list):
One photo, two stories: Chinese photos in British museums
By Min-Hsiu Liao
This study is to explore how translations function as an integral part of museum exhibitions. Specifically, this study argues that translators of museum texts and visitors who make use of them in museum exhibitions can actively engage in forming different interpretations of the exhibitions themselves.
A culture of borrowing: Iconography, ideology and idiom in Kari-gurashi no Arietti/The Secret World of Arriety
By Robert Hyland
This article examines cultural, aesthetic and ideological liminality inherent in the Studio Ghibli animated film adaptation of Mary Norton's The Borrowers, a film which reflects its twenty-first-century production and at the same time, inevitably is pervaded by the cultural context of its nineteenth- and twentieth-century anecdotes.
Negotiating the meaning of filial piety in The Guasha Treatment
By Qijun Han
Through a detailed narrative analysis of the cultural practices and identity politics in the filmic text, this article examines the way in which the traditional value of filial piety finds its powerful and subtle expression in Xiaolong Zheng's lesser known film The Guasha Treatment (2001), centring on Chinese family life in the United States.
Is the Long March a dream? Imagination, nationalism and multiple declination of a real mythology
By Corrado Neri
This article analyses two complimentary texts that offer compelling readings on the contemporary renegotiation of the national imaginary that the Long March informs.
