of social, moral and/or legal codes – has long fascinated producers and consumers of culture. Nowhere is this more the case than in East Asian societies – think of the many literary works, films and plays inspired by the notorious story of Japan’s Abe Sada,
who killed and mutilated her lover; or the numerous Chinese films and television dramas about the myths of Wu Zetian, who allegedly assassinated her own son to become the first and only female emperor in Chinese history. Some of the most popular original Netflix
Korean series this year, <i>The Glory</i>, <i>Kill Boksoon</i>, <i>Mask Girl</i>, have a common theme of vengeful women who struggle with their motherhood/family relationships. Such creative production often acts as a window into the anxieties and pain of
a society undergoing political upheaval, particularly with regards to changing gender dynamics and the advancement of women’s rights. Historically, stories of transgression in a male-dominated cultural field have not only revealed underlying social tensions,
they have also served as sites for (re)articulating norms with regards to gender and sexuality. As Christine Marran (2007, xvii) observes, “[t]hose marginalised within society are symbolically central to how a society describes itself”. </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; margin: 0cm;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; margin: 0cm;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As the opportunities and forms by which women can participate in cultural
production in a changing media landscape have increased, representations of transgression now also serve as outlets for affirmative expressions of female desire as well as dissatisfaction with existing social norms. In a world now dominated by screens, visual
media and internet cultures play an integral role in articulating, interrogating, transgressing and reimagining womanhood and femininity. In the wake of the global #MeToo movement, which exposed the fractures in gender relations, and the COVID 19 pandemic,
during which there was, in many places, a partial reversion to conventional gender roles, as well as ongoing debates regarding low fertility rates, the persistent gender gap and LGBTQI rights, issues of gender and sexuality are never far from the public consciousness. Examining
the ways in which female transgression is articulated through East Asian screen media and cultures can provide insight into how such debates have and are evolving, illuminating the concerns, hopes and desires of the peoples in those societies. However, while
there have been some opportunities for scholars working on gender and media in individual East Asian societies to share their research, cross-regional initiatives have been few and far between. Given the interconnected histories and extensive cultural exchange
within the region, an event that brings scholars working on different parts of, or across, East Asia (as well as diaspora communities) is long overdue. </span></p>
