BOOK
Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption
South Korean masculinities have enjoyed dramatically greater influence in recent years in many realms of pan-Asian popular culture, which travels freely in part because of its hybrid trans-nationalistic appeal. This book investigates transcultural consumption of three iconic figures — the middle-aged Japanese female fandom of actor Bae Yong-Joon, the Western online cult fandom of the thriller film Oldboy, and the Singaporean fandom of the pop-star Rain. Through these three specific but hybrid contexts, the author develops the concepts of soft masculinity, as well as global and postmodern variants of masculine cultural impacts. In the concluding chapter, the author also discusses recently emerging versatile masculinity within the transcultural pop production paradigm represented by K-pop idol boy bands.

Ang Lee
Taiwanese born, Ang Lee (b. 1954) has produced diverse films in his
award-winning body of work. Sometimes working in the West,
sometimes in the East, he creates films that defy easy
categorization and continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Lee has
won an Academy Award two times for Best Director--the first Asian
to win--for films as different as a small drama about gay cowboys
in Brokeback Mountain (2005), and the 3D technical
wizardry in Life of Pi (2012). He has garnered numerous
accolades and awards worldwide. Lee has made a broad range of
movies, including his so-called \"Father Knows Best\" trilogy made up
of his first three films: Pushing Hands (1992), The
Wedding Banquet (1993), and Eat Drink Man Woman
(1994), as well as 1970s period drama The Ice Storm
(1997), martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
(2000), superhero blockbuster Hulk (2003), and hippie
retro trip Taking Woodstock (2009). Thoughtful and
passionate, Lee humbly reveals here a personal journey that brought
him from Taiwan to his chosen home in the United States as he
struggled and ultimately triumphed in his quest to become a superb
filmmaker. Ang Lee: Interviews collects the best
interviews of this reticent yet bold figure.
