The 10th Korean Screen Culture Conference (KSCC) 2023 CFP

1st-2nd   December 2023, Monash University, Clayton Campus, Melbourne,
Australia (Hybrid)

The annual Korean Screen Culture Conference (KSCC) is dedicated to
exploring all aspects of Korean screen culture, including television,
K-pop, internet, computer gaming, webtoons, and film from both North and
South Korea.

Previous successful conferences were held at: SOAS, the University of
London (2012 & 2013), Sheffield Hallam University (2014), the University of
Copenhagen (Denmark, 2015), King’s College, London (2016), Universität
Hamburg (Germany, 2017), the University of Helsinki (Finland, 2018), the
University of Central Lancashire (UK, 2019), the University of Tübingen
(Germany, 2020), the University of Tübingen (Germany/ZOOM 2021).

2023 Theme: ‘The Global Spread of Korean Screen Cultures and its impact on
Korea.’

>From the global phenomenon Squid Game and Physical 100 broadcast on
Netflix, to the international critical and popular success of Parasite and
the worldwide popularity of BTS and Black Pink, it seems that never has
Korean Screen Culture been so prominent around the globe. This conference
investigates the causes and impacts behind the global spread of Korean
movies, TV shows, online games, K-pop videos, webtoons and other imagery.
The conference will ask the question of whether this current success
represents a new chapter in the development of South Korea’s cultural
industries or the swan song for Korean popular culture.

We welcome proposals for papers and panels on the theme of the conference
and all aspects of Korean screen culture, including but not limited to:
Korean cinema – North and South, past and present; video games; production,
distribution & reception of film, television, and K-pop music videos; and
the transnational and intermedial aesthetics of Korean screen culture such
as the impacts of the Korean Wave (Hallyu), transnational and intermedial
adaptations, co-productions, collaborations, and various intermedia
practices.

For face-to-face participants, the conference will take place across two
full days. Speakers will be expected to arrive on 30 November 2023.

The organizers will offer economy travel expenses to selected postgraduate
student presenters from within Australasia whose papers have been accepted.

The organizers will try to provide funding for accommodation to all
presenters whose papers have been accepted.
