24	"Are You Even a Man?" : A qualitative study of masculinities through fan expression on TikTok. / ”Är du ens en man?” : En kvalitativ studie om maskuliniteter genom fandomtillhörighet på TikTok. Hansson, Jessica January 2024 (has links) K-pop is a music phenomenon with a global fanbase that often is portrayed as only consisting of hysterical teenage girls, but that is not the case since it includes diversity in both age and gender. This qualitative study highlights the online portrayal of masculinity of K-pop fans by exploring the men in this female dominated subculture and their fan expression and portrayed masculinity on TikTok. Relying on prior research on the relationship between masculinity and femininity and Connells view of hegemonic masculinity, the new radical masculinities displayed on TikTok, trends of masculinity such as metrosexuality and the Korean wave (Hallyu) and other hybrid masculinities as well as parallels to the Brony community. The study´s theoretical approach is based in gender as a phenomenon of socialization and thereby performative in connection to Anderson´s (2012) concepts of orthodox and inclusive masculinity. TikTok videos with hashtags related to K-pop groups is the primary data that is thematically analyzed. The result show that the male K-pop fans embraced their fan identity and are influenced by their idols, even though their fan belonging is perceived as female coded to their surroundings leaving them to defend it online. The men express inclusive masculinity in their lack of homohysteria, in the admiration of male idols, support for others and adapting female coded behavior. In its opposite orthodox masculinity is displayed in the need to claim heterosexuality or social hierarchy to not loose masculine capital. Further, the discussion will highlight issues that occurred during the process of this study, problematize its concepts and cultural context, give suggestions on how to build on this study for further research as well as emphasize TikTok’s algorithms effect on the result. / K-pop är ett musikfenomen med fans världen över som ofta framställs enbart bestå av hysteriska tonårstjejer, men som har bredd i både kön och ålder. Denna kvalitativa studie belyser hur maskulinitet framställs av K-pop-fans genom att utforska männen i denna kvinnodominerade subkultur och deras fanuttryck, porträtterade av maskulinitet på TikTok. Studien bygger på tidigare forskning om förhållandet mellan maskulinitet och femininitet, Connells syn på hegemonisk maskulinitet, de nya radikala maskuliniteterna som visas på TikTok, maskulinitetstrender som metrosexualitet och den koreanska vågen (Hallyu) och andra hybridmaskuliniteter samt paralleller till Brony fans. Den teoretiska referensramen utgår från genus som en socialiseringsprocess och är därmed performativ i anslutning till Andersons (2012) begrepp om ortodox och inkluderande maskulinitet. Den primära datan består av TikTok-videor med hashtags relaterade till K-pop-grupper som analyseras tematiskt. Resultatet visar att de manliga K-pop-fansen omfamnade sin fanidentitet och influerades av sina idoler, även om deras fantillhörighet uppfattas som kvinnligt kodad för deras omgivning och leder till ett behov att försvara den online. Männen uttrycker inkluderande maskulinitet i sin avsaknad av homohysteri, i beundran av manliga idoler, stöd för andra och anpassning av kvinnligt kodat beteende. I dess motsats visas ortodox maskulinitet i behovet att uttrycka heterosexualitet eller social hierarki för att inte tappa maskulint kapital. Vidare kommer diskussionen att belysa frågor som uppstod under processens gång, problematisera begrepp och kulturellt sammanhang, ge förslag på hur man kan bygga vidare för fortsatt forskning samt betona TikToks algoritms effekt på resultatet.

25	Interaktiv förpackningsdesign: Grafisk formgivning av K-pop album och dess inflytande på konsumentbeteende : Hur kan formgivningen av K-pop album och relaterad merch påverka konsumentbeteende? / Interactive packaging design: The packaging design of K-pop albums and its influence on consumer behavior : How can the packaging design of K-pop albums influence consumer behavior? Adilnor, Sana January 2022 (has links) With the rise of Hallyu, or the global export of Korean culture also commonly known as ‘The Korean Wave’, South Korea has become a big trendsetter in recent years: whether it be within fashion and K-Beauty skincare or Korean movies and drama series, to Korean popular music, also known under the umbrella term K-pop. What these categories have in common are their strong ties to visual aesthetics and K-pop is known for its very colourful and maximalist design, which is also a key characteristic to why K-pop as a phenomenon has been particularly attractive and has managed to captivate fans all over the world. In the marvelling K-pop universe, the goal is to engage all the senses for a complete and interactive sensory experience, making the visual just as important as the auditory, and this can also be applied to the physical album design. Physical K-pop albums sell better than ever despite the digital streaming services dominating our digital age. A visual analysis was conducted on selected contemporary K-pop albums together with a survey on Swedish K-pop fans, in order to discuss how packaging design of K-pop albums can influence consumer behavior. The study showed that interactive packaging design and extra album inclusions like photocards, photo books, postcards etc. makes the fans more likely to want to collect albums and merchandise, which on its own can be viewed as a collectible item. The packaging design both facilitates and encourages fans to interact with the design not only visually, but also in a tactile way, by engaging in participatory behavior such as filming unboxing videos and posting them on social media, and it can also be associated with identity making, i.e. how they identify themselves as fans in relation to their favorite artists or towards other fans. Lastly, it is interesting to discuss how K-pop design can be heavily influenced by American and Western concepts despite being marketed as a Korean phenomena and innovation; from the visual analysis it could also be concluded that contemporary design trends draw inspiration from Western concepts such as the y2k millennium bug, retro and technology. kpop identity-making fandom consumer behavior parasocialism kpop album kpop merch artist memorabilia fan culture collecting merch participatory culture idol consumption korean popular culture hallyu k-pop k-pop album graphic design south korea photocard unboxing packaging design k-pop merchandise kpop identitetsskapande fandom konsumentbeteende parasocialism kpop album kpop merch kändismemorabilia fankultur merchsamlande deltagarstyrd kultur participatorisk kultur idolkonsumtion koreansk populärkultur sydkorea k-pop k-pop album fotokort unboxing hallyu förpackningsdesign Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst Design Design Cultural Studies Kulturstudier
26	社群媒體與音樂消費：以K-Pop迷群為例 / Social media and music consumption: K-Pop fan community as an example 徐韻婷, Hsu, Yu Ting Unknown Date (has links) 韓國的文化工業發展興盛，「韓流」以韓劇的出口為開端，近年來隨著韓國流行音樂 (K-Pop) 不斷向海外擴張，韓流不僅影響亞洲各國，在歐美各國也掀起一股潮流，而社群媒體可說是這股風潮的重要推手。藉著社群媒體，K-Pop觸及了更廣大的聽眾群，歌迷也可藉著社群媒體直接表達對於偶像的喜愛及忠誠。隨著網路及新科技發展，音樂本身對於消費者將越來越便宜，實體唱片的銷量註定會持續下降；在這情況下，消費者在演唱會以及非音樂性衍生商品的消費，對音樂產業的重要性上升。因此了解願意付費觀賞演唱會以及購買衍生商品的樂迷，對音樂產業日趨重要。檢視過去對於迷社群的研究，多從社會學及心理學的角度出發，缺乏從商學的角度切入的觀點，本研究旨在瞭解在數位音樂時代，社群媒體以及利用社群媒體串聯的迷社群，對於迷群音樂消費的影響。本研究以韓國偶像團體Super Junior的迷群為研究對象，以深度訪談方式，訪談11位Super Junior迷，了解迷的社群媒體使用習慣，以及社群媒體上的互動跟迷的音樂消費之間的關聯性。經過深度訪談及資料分析，本研究得出以下三點結論：(1) 透過社群媒體集結的迷群，相較傳統的迷社群，雖然信任關係發展較慢，但社群媒體的人際關係發展與真實生活較貼近，在社群媒體的上的互動，對社群內部成員有較高的影響力；(2) 社群媒體對於迷群而言具有多重的功能：與Super Junior成員直接互動的工具、獲取最新資訊的管道、擴散有時效性訊息的媒介、和其他迷互動的媒介。在音樂消費的過程中，社群媒體除了是消費資訊來源地，也是買家跟賣家的媒合地，迷對於來自於社群內部的消費資訊有較高的信任感，因此雖然社群媒體上的迷群互動不會直接將使用者變成消費者，卻可以促成消費的完成，對於音樂消費有重要影響；(3) 社群媒體在音樂產業中扮演三個角色：音樂消費與擴散的媒介、音樂相關資訊的集中地、促成產業內各角色 (迷、歌手、唱片公司) 之間的交換 (exchange)。 / Korea’s cultural industry has enjoyed rapid growth due to the rise of “Korean wave (hallyu)”, which is led by Korean drama since 1990s. Korean wave has conquered Asia, but now with the rise of K-Pop, Korean wave reaches a wider audience in the West. Social media plays a crucial role for Hallyu’s success in the global level. Social networking media make K-Pop brands easier to reach global audience, and those fans use these media tools to proclaim their devotion and to promote K-Pop to their friends. This research categorizes music products into musical product, including records and live concert, and non-musical associated product, including concert paraphernalia. New digital technologies have transformed the ways of music consumption which results in decline in sales of musical products. However, fans tend to engage with a variety of products related to their interests, and their consumption on live concerts and non-musical associated product is getting important for music industry. Existing research on fan culture mainly comes from sociology or psychology viewpoint. This research discusses fan music consumption from management perspective and tries to explore the role social media plays to influence music consumption. This research uses the most popular K-Pop group, “Super Junior,” as a case. Through interviewing 11 Super Junior fans, this research examines how fans use social media to communicate and interacts with other fans in the fan community. Through in-depth interviews and data analysis, there are three main findings concluded by this research. First, compared to traditional virtual fan community, in terms of virtual fan community, it takes longer to develop the trust relationship on social media. However, the way fans communicate on social media is closer to the real life. As a result, interactions on social media influence members much greatly. Second, social media is a multi-function tool for fans, which allows them to directly communicate with Super Junior members, to quickly receive the latest information from other countries, to quickly spread timeliness information, and to communicate with other fans. Therefore, social media and fan community do contribute to fulfillment of music consumption. Last, social media plays three roles in music industry: the platform of media of music consumption and diffusion, a place where all music-related information are collected, a contributor to exchange between different players (fans, singers, music companies) in the music industry.

29	韓流的崛起及其對兩岸之影響研究 / The Emergence of the Korean Wave and its implications for Mainland China and Taiwan 業寶玉 Unknown Date (has links) 韓國的連續劇、電影、音樂等流行文化在1990年代開始大量湧入華文地區，先後在臺灣、香港和中國等地釀成一股熱潮，1999年，華文傳媒首次使用「韓流」（Korean Wave，韓語稱한류, Hallyu）一詞來形容這股韓國文化熱。韓流已經成為隨著三星、LG、現代等大型跨國公司的發展而崛起的韓國經濟的代名詞。韓流為文化全球化的一個典型案例，它是韓國的國家文化政策的擴散和實踐的一種象徵，藉由促進創新和創意產業的擴張，來增進韓國的全球經濟競爭力。從韓流在世界各地之現象觀察發現，其威力來得突然且全面，具系統規模且有策略，且其文本意識大膽，更挑戰傳統觀念，並具獨特的文化藝術特質，不僅在韓國國內受到企業和影視界關注與支持，韓流所形成的世界風潮，其崛起的因素及所帶來的效應更引發各國政府和學術界的熱烈討論，尤其聚焦於韓流是否為暫時的效應抑或是長期趨勢。韓流現象在亞洲各國普遍存在，其中以中國大陸、日本、香港、台灣，以及東南亞越南、泰國、馬來西亞、新加坡及菲律賓等國最為明顯，並擴及印度、中東、中亞和俄羅斯各國，甚至在亞洲以外包括美國、拉丁美洲國家、歐洲、澳洲、非洲等地區逐漸發展。韓劇及韓國流行音樂(以下簡稱K-POP)的流行已經成為一種世界性現象，它以獨特的文化藝術魅力成功地實現了跨文化傳播，使吾人不禁想瞭解韓流何以會成功的關鍵因素，如韓國政府如何推動文化政策？如何運用整合行銷傳播策略？本計畫除進一步探究外，擬針對韓國影視文化產品一旦跨越國界，在亞洲及世界各地如何被消費？如何與當地文化產生互動和交融？甚至產生對經濟的影響及反韓流的效應等進行探討。「韓流」所帶來對亞洲普及文化現象的反思值得我們深思研究，由於文化接近性，韓流在兩岸的擴散及影響最巨，本論文主要研究目的擬就所探討韓流崛起的背景因素，來分析論述「韓流」流行文化對兩岸的影響及韓國政府如何因應反韓流現象，最後總結研析結果，針對以下重點進行分析，第一，韓流形成的成功關鍵因素及其對國際關係的意義為何？第二，韓流所帶動的經濟效益為何？第三，韓流究竟是短期效應或是長期效應的現象？由於韓流已在一些國家產生反韓流的現象，對當地文化與產業究造什麼樣的衝擊等，進而盼能做為我國推動文化創意產業政策之省思與參考。研究發現，韓國政府推動文化全球化策略，促使韓流席捲全世界，韓國人展現的企圖心令人心生傚尤之心。韓流對於促進國際關係有著深遠的意義，進而構建亞洲文化的認同，更形塑東亞區域化的作用，但審視東亞流行文化實踐中所發生複雜的互動關係，韓國政府如何維繫韓流及降低反韓流所帶來的負面影響，實為韓國政府應努力的重要課題。兩岸韓流韓國流行文化韓劇 K-POP 反韓流
30	The Construction of K-pop Female Idol Groups in Documentaries: a Gender Analysis Wen, Jie January 2024 (has links) This study examines the construction of the image of K-pop female idol groups and the presentation of postfeminist discourses through a critical discourse analysis of three official documentaries of three K-pop female groups: Blackpink: Light Up the Sky (2020), Mamamoo: Where Are We Now (2022), and Twice: Seize the Light (2020). The study aims to explore how these documentaries present K-pop idols on/off stage and how the K-pop industry employs postfeminist discourses to construct femininity and female empowerment. The study addresses the following research questions: how do the three documentaries construct the image of K-pop female idol groups? In what ways do the documentaries demonstrate elements of postfeminist discourse? By looking at the concept of girl crush in K- pop culture, the study found that the three groups presented the image of girl crush in different ways and to varying degrees, with traits such as self-confidence, power, and sexuality. Blackpink’s double image of strong and powerful onstage and innocent and cute off-stage reflects both traditional and modern expectations of women. Mamamoo’s documentary highlights bold sexual expression and diverse gender representation, situating them as icons of postfeminist empowerment. Twice’s documentary emphasizes authenticity and an affective connection with their fandom. Despite these narratives of empowerment, the analysis also reveals underlying gender inequalities in the K-pop industry, where female idols have limited influence and the industry remains male-dominated. The study contributes to an understanding of K-pop culture and its gender representations, highlighting the tension between empowerment and traditional gender norms.
