Abstract: The purpose of this study is to describe (1) the deconstruction that occurs in Kpop fanfiction characters in Ellina Exsli's My Lord novel, and (2) the meaning that fanfiction writers do in deconstructing Kpop idol figures into novel characters. This is a descriptive analysis research in which the data analysis was performed by reducing, classifying, and presenting the data, as well as drawing conclusions. The results of the research demonstrate that (1) fanfiction writers deconstruct Kpop idol figures to get new characters that fit into the story, (2) changes in Kpop idol figures include big changes, medium changes, and no changes, (3) the underlying motives of the fanfiction writers in choosing Kpop idol figures as fanfiction figures are such that they like these idols, the targeted idols or groups are currently on the rise, and the shipper between these Kpop idols. The findings of this research contribute to our understanding toward (1) Derrida’s deconstruction theory, (2) the nature of fanfiction as a particular literary genre and a popular culture, and (3) the Kpop fanfiction as one of the Hallyu or the Korean Wave becoming a part of Indonesia’s popular literary work.

Full textAbstract:
Fan fanaticism towards their idol celebrity nowadays is easier to find. Compared to the previous period when interacting with idols could only be mediated by sending letters or press conferences, the presence of new media now allows fans to interact with their idols and connect through online social media, which can lead to the essence of parasocial relationships. One of the platforms that facilitates the relationship between fans and their idols is the fandom application, two of which are popular, Bubble and WeVerse. In this research, the goal is to analyze fans’ experience in using the fandom application using the concept of consumption of commercial products. Through reception analysis and in-depth interview techniques with informants, this study seeks to map the consumption practices of NCT and BTS fans using concepts that are dissected into consump- tion, projection, collection, reflection, and construction. The research results show that the platform further strengthens the relationship between fans and idols, especially the pandemic conditions that give fans more free time to access content from idols. Although not all of them took the reflection and construction stages seriously, their efforts almost covered all consumption activities due to the informant’s background and the intensity of the fans-idol relationship.

Saat ini fenomena demam idola kian menyemarak di Indonesia. Semakin tinggi tingkat pengidolaan seseorang, maka semakin tinggi juga tingkat keterlibatan dengan sosok yang di idolakan. Semakin individu mengidolakan atau terlibat dengan sosok yang di idolakan maka semakin besar pula keintiman (intimacy) yang diimajinasikan terhadap sosok idola tersebut. Ketika individu menjadikan selebriti fokus utama hidupnya, maka disfungsi akan terbentuk. Beberapa individu akan membentuk hubungan khayalan dengan selebriti idola mereka dan akhirnya mengarah ke obsesi virtual terhadap selebriti idola. Obsesi inilah yang akhirnya dikenal dengan istilah celebrity worship (McCutcheon,Maltby, & Houran, 2003). Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan celebrity worship dikaitkan dengan traits para penggemar yang patologis, negatif dan menyimpang, kinerja dan keterampilan belajar yang rendah, self-esteem yang rendah dan memiliki kesulitan dalam membentuk identitasnya, psyhological well-being yang rendah. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui peranan cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, loneliness, terhadap celebrity worship pada remaja. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan analisis multiple regresi. Sampel penelitian ini remaja berjumlah 630 orang dengan usia 10-24 tahun yang memiliki tokoh selebriti idola. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik non-probability sampling, yakni purposive sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode kuantitatif. yaitu dengan cara menyebar kuesioner penelitian kepada partisipan yang memenuhi kriteria. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti mengadaptasi instrument pengumpulan data, yaitu celebrity attitude scale (CAS) 22 item, cognitive flexibility scale 12 item, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES)10 item dan UCLA loneliness scale 20 item. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya peranan dari cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, loneliness, usia dan jenis kelamin sebagai data demografi terhadap celebrity worship pada remaja dengan nilai R2 sebesar 12,1%. Secara parsial, terdapat dua variabel yang berperan positif terhadap celebrity worship, yaitu variabel cognitive flexibility, dan variabel loneliness. The idol fever phenomenon is increasingly popular in Indonesia. The higher the level of one's idolization, the higher the level of involvement with the idol. The more individuals idolize or engage with idolized figures, the greater the intimacy imagined against the idol figure. When an individual makes a celebrity the main focus of his/her life, then dysfunction will form. Some individuals will form imaginary relationships with their idol celebrities which will eventually lead to virtual obsession with idol celebrities. This obsession is also known as celebrity worship (McCutcheon, Maltby, & Houran, 2003). Several studies show celebrity worship is associated with fans' pathological, negative, and distorted traits, low performance and learning skills, low self-esteem and difficulty in forming their identities, along with low psyhological well-being. This research was conducted to determine the role of cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, and loneliness, against celebrity worship in adolescents. This research uses quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis. The sample of this study were 630 teenagers aged 10-24 years who had idols. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. This research was conducted using quantitative methods by distributing research questionnaires to participants who meet the criteria. In this study, researchers adapted data collection instruments, which are 22 items celebrity attitude scale (CAS), 12 items cognitive flexibility scale, 10 items Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) and UCLA loneliness scale of 20 items. The results of this study indicate the role of cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, loneliness, age and gender as demographic data on celebrity worship in adolescents with an R2 of 12.1%. Partially, there are two variables that have a positive role in celebrity worship, namely the cognitive flexibility variable, and the loneliness variable.

Full textAbstract:
Why is it that we think of K-pop idols as more globally successful than J-pop idols? In this article, I examine the production, distribution and media reception of the South Korean and Japanese idol pop music under the labels of J-pop and K-pop. I show how although structural and economic reasons go some way towards explaining the differing international reaches of J-pop and K-pop idols, we must also take into account the impact of imagined versions of national popular cultures within the paradigm of the global. Specifically, I argue that we cannot consider J-pop and K-pop’s global successes without acknowledging two critical factors: the way that success in the anglophone West is used as a byword for global success and what the circulation of imagined, Orientalist versions of Japanese and South Korean popular culture may tell us about contemporary mediascapes, both as global configurations of media and the visions they proliferate.

Full textAbstract:
A pop idol group in Japan, AKB48, has female members capable of attracting the opposite sex into their fans. In this study, I will analyze the depictions of women portrayed in AKB48’s five summer music videos. To reach the objective of my analysis, I will use the theory of male gaze, specifically on the way the members are depicted in the videos. From my analysis, I discovered that through the perspective of male gaze, the idols are depicted as alluring, seductive, and playful. It can be assumed that the portrayal might be a strategy used to hoist their popularity over the other girl groups in Japan. Therefore, the sexualized depiction of the idols is actually proven to be successful in making the group popular.

This article traces the formation of popular music idol industries in China and the emergence of data fandom. It charts the growth of digital platforms and historicizes the commercial and geopolitical itinerations linking cultural production in Japan, South Korea, and China. It locates data fandom as an integral part of the popular music industries reconfigured by digital social media platforms; a structural change from the production-to-consumption ‘supply chain’ model of the recording era towards emergent circuits of content that integrate industries and audiences. Data fans understand how their online activities are tracked, and adopt individual and collective strategies to influence metric and semantic information reported on digital platforms and social media. This article analyses how the practices of data fans impact upon charts, media and content traffic, illustrating how this activity benefits the idols they are following, and enhances a fan’s sense of achievement and agency.

Full textAbstract:
Released in May 2018, the song “Anpanman” by the world’s most popular K-Pop boy group to date, BTS, shares the idea of being a hero by setting an example from the Japanese superhero Anpanman. Anpanman, whose head is made of red bean paste-filled pastry, is well-known for his superpower ability to share parts of his head to those in need. This humble and self-sacrifice mode of helping others seems to be the basic idea of the song, to represent what BTS is about. This essay aims to further dissect the song lyrics of “Anpanman” to show the ambivalence presented between the concept of hero and superhero (termed here as (super)hero). The discussion goes further to juxtaposing the concept of hero/superhero with idol, a term used as another one of BTS’s songs “Idol”. Considering that in K-Pop, being an idol is practically a dream job, it is therefore paramount that in discussing the songs, this essay highlights the paradox of what it means to be a hero/superhero with an idol. Within the frame of network analysis, the discussion is conducted specifically along the line of the effects that digital culture has, which helps the spreading of BTS’s popularity and persona globally. In this light, this essay argues that beyond the songs, a problematic view on what it means to be a hero and an idol is projected. Ultimately, the discussion concludes that such an ambivalent view potentially leads to a reconceptualization of a superhero figure.Released in May 2018, the song “Anpanman” by the world’s most popular K-Pop boy group to date, BTS, shares the idea of being a hero by setting an example from the Japanese superhero Anpanman.

The essay proceeds from an unorthodox interpretation of Bacon's “Idols of the Market-place” to develop a general theory of synonymy. This popular concept is one of the fundamental ills in our thinking (and, therefore, speech and writing). The essay suggests that we abolish the notion of synonymy in praxis.

One of the most popular coinages of 'eighties America seems to be the notorious term "cyberpunk". The term covered everything from popular movies such as Robocop and Terminator, comics, video production and increasingly popular Japanese manga cartoons, to music from such diverse authors as Laurie Anderson and Billy Idol. But the phenomenon did not stop there: cyberpunk became a specific way of life, demanding certain behaviour, a dress code and so on.

Full textAbstract:
Korean popular music, or broadly known as K-Pop, is the most noticeable example of hallyu-wave products. Actors, actresses, soloists, duos, and groups consisting of several members are considered as K-Pop performers. In Korea, such performers are popular by the term “idol”. Those who idolize a particular idol, whether it is soloist or group, often join a fans-club called “fandom”. Teenagers as common members of fandom will identify and try to behave in similar way to their idols. Looking at that phenomenon, this study aims to find the motive behind K-Popers “SHINee World Indonesia” fanaticism of a Korean boy band, SHINee.This study applies qualitative method, a research method which is defined as an attempt to get a better understanding regarding the complexity of human interaction. It results in several keywords of qualitative research: process, understanding, complexity, interaction, and human. The researchers adopt qualitative method with phenomenology approach, due to the fact that the research object is closely related to the motive behind K-popers fanatics and their imitative behavior. The researchers realize that the motive and imitative behavior of K-Popers fanatics are processed within themselves, not by the visible behaviors in the outside.This phenomenology research tries to gain knowledge regarding how an early fan constructs the important meaning and concepts in inter-subjectivity frame. Fanaticism process is triggered by a motive which is divided into four reasons: (1) generating interest, (2) knowledge, (3) satisfaction, and (4) absorbing “SHINee” as a part of fanaticism lifestyles.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the technique by implementing an empirical work on whether the image concept of an idol, who has recently gained popularity not only in Korea but also globally, can be applied to nail art. According to Wikipedia, the most popular BTS (BTS) is a group that debuted in 2013, and their image is imprinted on the public. In addition, 19 idol groups debuted in 2020, 10 in 2021, and 5 in 2022. The work to be created will be explained by applying Dr. Eva Hiller's psychological definition of color by deriving the color, saturation, brightness, composition, and design that constitute the image concept of these groups. Also, the nail art technique applied to the work to be created will be explained. Through this study, I would like to present a major creative technique that will suggest the shared growth of the nail art industry in accordance with the market growth of idol groups.

Popular culture is developing over time and fanfiction is product of popular culture. Fanfiction is a work of fiction created by fans as a sense of involvement (a culture of participation) between them and their idols. In addition to creating a sense of "closeness" with his idol, fan fiction can also provide a feeling of satisfaction for fans who want an ending or even a whole new world for their idols. Which later became one of the genres in Fan Fiction and was called the Alternative Universe. Fan fiction usually has a fairly long format, with platforms like Wattpad or Asian FanFic on the site, now the trend is changing to social media platforms, especially Twitter. Using @eskalokal and @gabenertwice as research objects, the method in this research is a qualitative method. Informants for this research are writers and readers of @eskalokal and @gabenertwice. After data collected, the next step is categorizing the interview transcript based on the informant's own words or in vivo coding. The result of this research is that the changing platform of fan fiction is more suitable for the informants. It turns out that many fans who initially liked fan fiction using Wattpad or website switch to the social media alternative universe because their attention span has decreased.

South Korean pop songs or colloquially K-pop has spread globally. America also has a massive impact on this K-pop wave phenomenon. America now gives its enormous attention to the Bangtan Sonyeondan group or BTS group because this K-pop group is prevalent and becomes the new idol in America. In the beginning, K-pop is not successful, but until BTS comes and becomes a global sensation there. This paper tries to analyze which factors enable BTS to be the new idol in America. The writer uses a qualitative method to conduct the data and reception theory from Stuart Hall in the analysis. This analysis results in BTS, as the most popular K-pop group in America nowadays, has two factors that enable them to dominate American fans. The first one is through their androgyny physical appearance that redefines American traditional macho masculinity.

Full textAbstract:
Korean popular music or K-pop has achieved popularity among global audiences. The uniqueness of K-pop fan culture has helped to shape the success of the K-pop industry. Through a case study of Chinese fan labor vis-à-vis K-pop male idol group GOT7, the author notes three types of K-pop fan labor: specialized labor, managerial labor, and unskilled labor. This research argues that fan labor transforms the K-pop industry into an alternative creative industry because fan labor as creative labor is an indispensable part of the K-pop industry. Fan labor is utilized to distinguish fans from non-fans, and to draw boundaries between the grateful, more enthusiastic fans and the casual self-proclaimed fans who do not contribute to fandom or their idols’ success. These Chinese K-pop fans comply with the K-pop industry’s commodification of culture, are exploited by the K-pop industry, and seek empowerment in the K-pop production and distribution process. This paper’s exploration of fan labor, based on the author’s participant observations and in-depth interviews, will thus contribute to studies on the creative industries, creative labor, fandom, and the transnational flows of popular culture.

In this paper, the authors will conduct a critical analysis of the culture of secret violence especifically against women in the K-pop media industry. Every year there are sad cases behind the success of large companies that have succeeded in bringing someone to the world stage. Some of the sad cases lead to the death of the idol by suicide. This issue ist important and has taken a lot of public attention. In the perspective of young people, Idols are those who have an ideal body, handsome, beautiful voice, fashionable, have famous band, popular, charming stage performances, have interesting photos and videos that express their feelings and euphoria, and is in caring of a large agency. But in the reality, there were some of idols that have ended their life (suicide). One of the strong reasons is because they are depressed. Furthermore, the authors will analyse the problem from theological perspective, where women are also created by God in His image, who are intelligent and equal to men. So they can’t be made objects of violence. AbstrakDalam paper ini penulis akan melakukan analisa kritis terhadap suatu budaya kekerasan terselubung khususnya terhadap perempuan dalam industri media K-pop. Setiap tahun selalu ada kasus yang memprihatinkan di balik kesuksesan perusahaan-perusahaan besar yang berhasil membesarkan nama seseorang sampai pada kancah dunia. Kasus-kasus yang memprihatinkan tersebut mayoritas berujung pada kematian seorang idola karena bunuh diri. Persoalan ini menjadi penting dan menyita banyak perhatian publik. Tentunya, yang disebut idola oleh anak-anak muda itu adalah mereka yang memiliki tubuh yang ideal, rupawan, suara yang indah, fashionable, grup band yang terkenal, lagu-lagu yang hits, penampilan panggung yang mempesona, foto-foto dan video yang menggugah perasaan dan euforia, serta berada dalam naungan agensi yang besar. Namun tidak disangka-sangka, para idola tersebut tidak sedikit yang memilih untuk mengakhiri hidupnya sendiri. Salah satu alasan yang kuat adalah karena mereka mengalami depresi. Lebih jauh, penulis akan menganalisa persoalan tersebut dari perspektif teologis, di mana sejatinya perempuan juga diciptakan Allah segambar dan serupa dengan Dia, berakal budi, setara dengan laki-laki, dan tidak layak untuk menjadi obyek kekerasan.

The development of South Korean culture is currently very popular among teenagers, women or men. K-Pop Group Twice is one of the results of South Korean culture. Twice Group K-Pop fans also want to have idol-themed goods. Every collection owned by collectors is always exhibited or sold at local Twice Group K-Pop events. At the event, displays are used for promotional media for collection products to be sold. Based on this, facilities are needed to facilitate collectors in product promotion media in the form of booths or display collections of products that can be used during events.
The research method used to find data, used a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, namely observing in various places related to display design, and conducting interviews with several members of the k-pop idol group community and collectors. In analyzing the design analysis used, the order of analysis is as follows: needs analysis, space analysis, display analysis, ergonomics analysis, anthropometric analysis, arrangement analysis, placement analysis, shape analysis, color analysis, system analysis, material analysis, and finishing analysis. which is on the display design for the placement of the collector's merchandise collection.
The results of the analysis show that the product has an elegant design concept and displays the shape of the characteristics that the k-pop idol Twice always brings. This display can make it easier for visitors when they want to find a collection of merchandise at events and the display can also be used at home as a placement for other collectors' collections.

Abstract This article examines trans-scripting in transnational, multilingual fandom on Sina Weibo, the largest Chinese microblogging site. Taking one of the most popular Korean pop music (K-pop) bands named BTS as a case study, 741 instances of trans-scripting were manually selected from a total of 18,243 comments under the official Weibo account of the largest BTS fan club in China. Combining online observation and corpus-based analysis, our study draws on the notions of engaged audience and affinity space to reveal how multiple patterns of trans-scripting are heavily mobilized by K-pop fans in translingual idol naming, the transcultural maintenance of fan-idol kinship, and the intertextual confirmation of shared media consumption experiences. We argue that trans-scripting is an under-explored linguistic strategy used by transnational pop-culture fans, providing an analytical lens for research on fan identity and fan-communal membership. Theoretically, trans-scripting can serve as a useful lens to analyze networked multilingual fandom.

AbstractIn terms of circulation and sales of albums, the most popular pop music found in mainland China today is the Mandopop imported from Taiwan. The pop music that is genuinely locally produced in China by mainland producers and artists, and which is most notable to the outside world is probably the Chinese rock music and the wave of ‘northwest wind’ pop music produced locally in China in the late 1980s. However, after 2005, there emerged a new kind of Chinese pop that is commercially successful and a product of the nationalPop Idol-like singing contest. This paper describes and explicates the broad popularity of this new wave of Chinese pop. Putting aside the overly discussed topic of democracy that comes out of such politicisedSupergirlcontests, this paper focuses on the nature of the melody and lyrics of pop idol winner Chris Li's songs and how their unique formulation evolves into an important ‘short wave’ of Chinese pop.

Full textAbstract:
Transgender is a marginalised category to which reality TV has given visibility, yet it is usually overlooked in observations regarding the minority groups that have gained mainstream representation through these programmes. Popular Australian reality TV shows have provided a unique space for the constructive representation of certain queer subjectivities. The Australian reality TV contestants in question present gendering that embraces ambiguity, that is, they demonstrate the deliberate disruption and blurring of gender/sex category divisions. This article examines the ways in which Australian reality TV’s representations of transgender contestants remain robustly queer while also being negotiated and made palatable for ‘family’ television audiences. It asserts the reality TV shows that feature transgender performance orchestrate a balance between queer expression and its containment. This article also takes as a case study a particularly successful Australian transgender reality TV contestant, Courtney Act. It argues Act’s representation of queerness was ‘managed’ within the normative framework of mainstream television yet she is still significantly troubled by gender binaries during her time on Australian screen. In 2014, she appeared as a contestant on the United States’ queer-themed reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race and again proved to be a reality TV success. This transnational intersection of transgender performance signalled the productive possibilities of international cross-pollination in regard to affirmative reality TV representations of marginalised subjectivities. At the same time, however, it also revealed the localised nature of reality TV, even in those shows with an international queer appeal.

Full textAbstract:
Since the new millennium, the television industry in China has witnessed a flourishing of television series addressing the aspirations, struggles and gender expectations of the urban middle class. Nevertheless, with few exceptions, little scholarly attention has been devoted to the televisual construction of masculine ideals in the contemporary era. Taking as a case study Best Time (最美的时光), one of the most popular idol dramas of 2013, this article fills a lacuna in current scholarship and addresses the televisual construction of cosmopolitan masculinities by focusing on the tension between two prominent social groups: overseas returnees and indigenous talents. Through analysis of the construction of competing masculinities in Best Time, this article argues that this drama is as much about an undertone of national rejuvenation, and the desire for China’s rise and global dominance, as it is about unrequited love. In pursuing this argument, a critical reading of a youth idol drama opens new avenues for understanding cosmopolitanism through the lenses of gender dynamics and nationalism.

Full textAbstract:
Korea Pop (K-Pop) is a music industry originating in South Korea. Its existence is currently one of the largest music industries in the world. Talking about K-Pop is inseparable from the reality of its fans. The presence of passionate fans makes K-Pop even more popular. Fans have various ways to worship the idols they like, one of which is a shipper. Activities, issues, or rumors concerning their idols are always discussed by shippers through discussion rooms, such as the WhatsApp Group, to exchange opinions or equalize opinions. This study aims to find out what the mapping of the communication network structure looks like in a Jenlisa Universe WhatsApp Group. Jenlisa Universe is a shipper community that pairs Blackpink members Jennie and Lisa, known as Jenlisa, in a relationship. Shippers are K-Pop fans who pair their idols with other idols in a pairing relationship, which can be romantic, romantic, friendship, family, and emotional. They always connect the activities of each idol as if they have a relationship with one another. Currently, Jenlisa's shipper is included in the top 5 shippers worldwide. This is why Jenlisa's shipper was chosen as the subject of this study. The theory needed is an opinion leader, namely a figure or leader who influences a community. The approach in this study is descriptive quantitative. The method used is Communication Network Analysis with the Chat Stats WhatsApp Statistics application, Ucinet, and interviews conducted with participants in the group. The results of this study show that Jenlisa Universe, as a WhatsApp Fanbase Group, has 13 famous actors who act as opinion leaders who serve as discussion guides for rumors, cases, or Jenlisa activities in a WhatsApp Group network.

Full textAbstract:
During World War II, American media consistently portrayed the typical young female Frank Sinatra fan as a disinterested citizen who failed to devote adequate attention to the war effort and harbored an inappropriate obsession with the pop idol. What contemporaneous critics and current scholars have generally not acknowledged, however, was how Sinatra fandom allowed thousands of American teenage girls to navigate their stressful, confusing, and often contradictory wartime realities with purpose and enthusiasm. This article examines wartime Frank Sinatra fan clubs through the lens of fan club newsletters and correspondences, which were authored, printed, and distributed entirely by the primarily teenage female members of these clubs. In contrast to professionally published press coverage and criticism, these fan-made texts provide unprecedented insight into how this specific fan community used their adoration of Sinatra as a base to explore international relationships, develop professional skills, and engage in personal expression amidst heightened feelings of nationalism and conflicting expectations regarding American gender roles.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization has influenced the polarization of international relations activities, especially towards implementing cultural diplomacy. Referring to transnationalism theory, non-state actors have dominated international relations activities by using popular culture and social media as a means of international communication. The implication of the role of non-state actors from among K-Pop idol groups is no exception to spreading a country's local culture as a form of cultural diplomacy. Therefore, this article sees the implications of NCT's transnational activities as a K-Pop idol group influencing the strategy and implementation of Indonesia's cultural diplomacy in the digital era. By using qualitative research methods with library research techniques and observing activities using social media, this article analyzes the role of NCT in spreading Indonesian culture globally through three approaches to cultural diplomacy, according to Cynthia Schneider, namely values, audience, and environmental approaches. Through these three approaches, this article underlines that the role of NCT in spreading Indonesian cultural values has an impact on the formation of the basis of trust and the image of Indonesia internationally. Then the use of social media carried out by NCT has succeeded in expanding the target of Indonesian cultural diplomacy, which can be seen through the achievement of a considerable number of audiences and enhanced regional reach. In addition, the role of NCT in spreading Indonesian culture also influences the strategy and policy of Indonesia's cultural diplomacy. It is shown through the recognition and use of NCT in one of the Ministry of Creative Economy and Tourism projects. Thus, these article findings show the role of NCT in Indonesia's cultural diplomacy as a form of popular culture utilization, the K- Pop, and extend the effectiveness of using social media as a means of cross-country communication in the digital age.

Full textAbstract:
The Australian career of the young American actor Minnie Tittell Brune exemplifies the complex cultural and economic forces operating on the institution of live theatre at the beginning of the twentieth century. Brune focalizes the contemporary processes which reconstituted the international institution of mass entertainment out of the traditional cultural practices of theatre. The theatrical star is seen as both engaging with and resisting the commodification of her labour power, image and talent resulting from her ambiguous industrial role as magnetic ‘star’ and as managerial commodity. However, the iconic and affective power of the actor evokes strong attachment from significant sections of the newly heterosocial popular audience, in particular from the gallery girls, the young female audience who idolized Brune as a performative personality enacting social self-realization and glamorous transformation. Through reading Brune's repertoire, her social persona as ‘star’ and her ‘emotional’ performative style, it is demonstrated how artistic retro-glamour, religious evangelicalism and discourses of sexuality and femininity serve to manage theatre's move into the mass-entertainment age.

Full textAbstract:
‘Which way will Russian literature go?’ is the question at the centre of The Tales. It was in the mid-1820s to early 1830s that an argument arose about the popular (genre) stream, which resonated so well with mass audiences. Pushkin creates the persona of Belkin as the collective image of a commercially driven author who utilizes popular subjects of local and foreign origin, much like the writer in A. Pogorelsky’s The Double [Dvoynik]. Having pinpointed the typical features of moral descriptions and transferred them into Belkin’s stories, Pushkin devises various combinations of moral descriptions through depictions of ‘everyday life’, ranging from utter rejection to creative adaptation of the more effective elements of commercial writing. The stories offer three ways for analysis: from the viewpoint of Belkin, who reworks borrowed subjects in the manner of his idol F. Bulgarin; of Pushkin’s Double, who produces the ‘everyday reality’ context; and of Pushkin himself, who weaves those strands together and is responsible for the overall architectonics and subtext of The Tales.

The paper analyzes how the concept of presence is put into play in connection to disappearance, contemporary popular media technology and objects in the 2014 production of Vocaloid Opera Aoi, composed by Hiroshi Tamawari. In the traditional noh theatre version of the famous story, the character Aoi does not appear “in person,” she is represented by a kimono. In the 2014 production the modified story is performed with bunraku puppets and sung by a Vocaloid singer, a software. By analyzing this, I elaborate on the connection between the recent studies on object dramaturgy and the questions of nonhuman (Bennett, Eckersall), and the nonreflective position rooted in animism from the fan base of pop culture that attributes personality and emotions to their respective robot/android/software idol. I examine the latest performative events in contemporary Japanese theatre that involve both human and non-human actors/agents (animals, objects, androids, vocaloids): the corporeality of the organic and inorganic Other, focusing on how the presence of the organic and non-organic nonhuman appears within the interplays of representation, how it relates to the layers of empathy, responsibility and consent, in the frame of contemporary Japanese popular culture.

This article problematises the widespread assumption that the God of early Christianity is an invisible God. This assumption is found in both popular and academic discourse and often appeals to biblical critiques of divine images to make its case. Yet while Hebrew Bible scholars have recently questioned this axiomatic belief, New Testament scholars have yet to do the same. To address this oversight, this article first looks at divine images and idol polemic in the ancient world and then turns to Luke's depiction of divine images in the book of Acts as a test case. Here I demonstrate how Acts depicts God as a visible – and even embodied – being, while at the same time critiquing visual representations of the divine. With Acts, we find that not all Christians ‘imaged’ God as invisible.

Full textAbstract:
Bringing popular culture to tertiary education can potentially increase student engagement with learning tasks and content, especially when the learning task has students producing the content. Using a singlegroup intervention plus post-test design, this study implemented and evaluated a purposely developed learning and teaching innovation capitalising on popular and consumer culture to promote active over passive learning in a large, interprofessional health science unit. Students were invited to develop educational video presentations in a friendly competition based on high-rating television musical and vocal talent quests, with cash prizes based on peer ratings, this being the intervention. From a cohort of 569 students in 12 undergraduate allied health programs, 14 students in seven teams of 1 to 3 students produced seven, high-quality videos about communication in professional health practice, and recorded their experiences of doing so. Ratings showed the majority found the process fun (85%) and instructive (64%), with 29% finding the task harder than expected. The prospect of prizes along with intrinsic motivators were reasons for producing a video. A further 285 students viewed the productions and for extra marks completed evaluation of the videos’ educational value. Videos were perceived as an educationally valuable yet entertaining way to engage unit content. Producers of videos rated the teaching and learning experience significantly more positively than students not involved in production. Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses supported relevant numerical findings. Barriers to producing videos were identified as time, resources, confidence and lack of a team. Results should encourage educators contemplating similar initiatives. The project highlights benefits of harnessing popular genres with which students identify, to encourage involvement in producing educationally justifiable content that rewards both performer and audience. The project shows how learning content and tasks created and presented in familiar and entertaining formats can catalyse students’ agentic engagement in tertiary curricula.

Full textAbstract:
From the 1980s to the 2000s, Philippine television and radio were filled with the sounds of J-Pop. The majority of Filipino listeners, however, were not aware of their Japanese origins as they were all performed in the vernacular by local artists. This paper demonstrates how local cultures are produced within the context of hybridization and cultural indigenization through J-Pop cover songs. By comparing and exploring the history of J-Pop, OPM (Original Pilipino Music), P-Pop, and idol groups, this work reflects on the globalized trend of forming new distinctions, connections, and authenticity through the varying processes of covering songs. It looks at popular music’s power in shaping local influence and development, as well as how international cultural elements can become part of collective memory and cultural milieu in a new territory, thereby gaining authenticity.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates medieval Muslim literature on the study of non-Islamic religions through the writings of al-Biruni and al-Shahrastani in their dealing with Hind (India) and the nomenclature of world religions. I focus on their perceptions of monotheism and polytheism. My findings show that they used different approaches, categories, and classification models of world religious traditions in general, and of Hind’s religious traditions in particular. Al-Biruni classifies Indian religions according to the religious outlooks found in Hindu texts or sayings of Hindu philosophers/theologians and in the attitudes of ordinary people in a popular context. Al-Shahrastani categorizes the divisions and subdivisions of Hindu beliefs and practices according to types of “idol worshippers.” This article points out that they dealt with some conceptual issues in their presentations, such as “religious representation,” “intermediaries,” and “anthropomorphism.”

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the issue of Arab collective identity manifested in the mediated type of communication taking places on social media. The study employs multiple methodologies to provide a better understanding of Arab audiences’ online engagements with four MBC TV shows that are regarded as among the most popular throughout the MENA region as contestants from almost all Arab countries have the chance to participate in them. These shows use Arabic as a bond that unites Arab viewers from different national, religious, and racial backgrounds into distinct online communities. In total, the study offers an analysis of over 839,000 comments from four Facebook pages including Arab Idol, Arabs Got Talent, The Voice, and The Voice Kids. We argue that the notion of Arab identity is an imagined concept since the mediated communication on social media shows different identity affiliations especially toward the national one.
