Korean Screen Cultures

The «Korean Wave», or Hallyu phenomenon, has brought South Korean popular culture to the global population, but North Korean culture has often been overlooked. Korean Screen Cultures sets out to redress this imbalance with a broad selection of essays spanning both North and South, including essays on K-pop, television dramas, film and online games.
