| Sommario/riassunto: | Complicated Currents: Media Flows, Soft Power and East Asia is a scholarly examination of the dynamic interplay between media, culture, and soft power in the East Asian context. Edited by Daniel Black, Stephen Epstein, and Alison Tokita, this volume explores the impact of transnational media flows on national identity, cultural exchange, and international relations. The book delves into phenomena such as the Korean Wave and its influence across Asia and beyond, analyzing how media products like television dramas and pop music contribute to cultural diplomacy and national branding. It also addresses the complexities of media consumption in a globalized world, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges posed by these flows. This work is intended for scholars, students, and readers interested in media studies, cultural studies, and Asian studies. |
