Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce the forthcoming release of a new edited volume
"Hallyu 2.0: The Korean Wave in the Age of Social Media" (University of
Michigan Press, June 2015). Sangjoon Lee (Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore) and Abe Markus Nornes (The University of Michigan) edited the
volume.

Collectively known as Hallyu, Korean music, television programs, films,
online games, and comics enjoy global popularity, thanks to new
communication technologies. In recent years, Korean popular culture has
also become the subject of academic inquiry. Whereas the Hallyu’s impact on
Korea’s national image and domestic economy, as well as on transnational
cultural flows, have received much scholarly attention, there has been
little discussion of the role of social media in Hallyu’s propagation.

'Hallyu 2.0' is the first scholarly volume to investigate the impact of
social media and other communication technologies on the global
dissemination of the Korean Wave. We hope that scholars in the field of
popular culture, communication and information, cinema studies, Korean
studies, Asian studies, musicology, and sociology find this book useful for
their classes.

It will be available on 28 June. for more about the book, follow the links
