MS 124 PZ -K-pop and Digital Culture

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course will explore K-pop as a global popular media genre that must be placed at the center of our ongoing conversations on contemporary digital culture, art, and media. From artist production and multimedia performance to online fan communities and affective response, Kpop prompts changing ideas of what digital media and its audiences can look like in the contemporary era. Pairing formal analyses of K-pop productions with broader considerations of the social, political, racial, and intercultural dimensions of the genre and its fandoms, we will explore K-pop as a phenomenon that asks useful questions of any media student.
