KSCC 2019 Themes: Interdisciplinarity and ‘Trans-Korean Studies’
The KSCC is a unique forum for the exchange of new perspectives on Korean screen cultures that has helped forge a diverse and international community of Korean Screen Cultures scholars. The 2019 KSCC builds on this diversity through this year’s twin conference themes of Interdisciplinarity and ‘Trans-Korean Studies’. We invite interdisciplinary panels, and also contributions for a ‘Screen Media Pedagogies swap shop’ and a collaborative research forum. To celebrate the launch of UCLan’s new master’s programme on North Korean Studies, we particularly invite papers on North Korean cinema and television. Moreover, we encourage an integrative approach to Korean screen cultures that explores the cultural and socio-political interrelations between North, South and Diasporic Korean screen media.

The K-Drama symposium is a separate, one-day ‘pre-conference’ linked to KSCC. It aims to produce an edited collection on Korean TV drama and other TV formats. Over recent years the circulation of Korean television media has expanded considerably, via platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Viki. Global interest in Korea TV media also expands beyond diversifying genres of TV-drama to encompass other TV format, such as reality TV and chat shows. Such changes raise a multitude of questions that this symposium aims to address. We invite papers on all research related to the global consumption of Korean TV , especially:
• K-drama production practices
• Genre forms and thematic concerns in K-drama and other TV formats
• Questions of reception and appropriation of K-TV on global content platforms
• Platform distribution markets and practices
• ‘Netflix original’ K-Drama/film
Attending both KSCC and the Pre-KSCC Symposium?
Presenters may submit papers for the K-drama symposium and attend for one day, or may submit papers for both KSCC and K-Drama (i.e. two papers) and attend both events. KSCC presenters who do not present at the K-Drama symposium are welcome to come early to attend the symposium. Their accommodation will be provided for Wednesday 5th June, but we cannot guarantee to cover accommodation for Tuesday 4th June unless you are presenting at both events.
