Through ethnographic research of Korean Major League Baseball fans and their online community, this book demonstrates how a postcolonial nation and its people are developing long-distance affiliation with American sports accompanied by nationalist sentiments and regional rivalry. Becoming an MLB fan in South Korea does not simply lead one to nurturing a cosmopolitan identity, but to reconstituting one?s national imaginations. Younghan Cho suggests individuated nationalism as the changing nature of the national among the Korean MLB fandom in which the national is articulated by personal choices, consumer rights and free market principles. The analysis of the Korean MLB fandom illuminates the complicated and even contradictory procedures of decentering and fragmenting nationalism inSouth Korea, which have been balanced by recalling nationalism in combination with neoliberal governmentality. 410 0$aPalgrave Series of Sport in Asia,$x2662-9356 606 $aEthnology$xAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 606 $aSports sciences 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aSport Sociology 606 $aSport Science 606 $aEthnography 606 $aAsian Politics 615 0$aEthnology$xAsia. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aSports sciences. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aAsia$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aSport Sociology. 615 24$aSport Science. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 676 $a306.095 700 $aCho$b Yo?ng-han$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01871773 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416147703321 996 $aGlobal Sports Fandom in South Korea$94494013 997 $aUNINA
