In the new episode, my guest is Prof. Dr. Mutlu Binark, and our topic is the Korean Wave - Hallyu and related cultural policies. South Korean dramas, called K-dramas, K-Pop, Korean literature, Korean films, Korean cosmetics or food... All are spreading like a wave to the world, and Turkey is getting its share. But this is not a coincidence. It is a cultural policy of Korea that has become a state affair. It is an incredibly interesting, sociological, political, and economic phenomenon; a situation that needs to be examined at length, and perhaps some parts of it should be taken as an example. Prof. Dr. Mutlu Binark, Head of the Department of Information and Information Technologies at Hacettepe University Faculty of Communication, is an academic who has mainly worked on Japan, China, and South Korea, learned their languages, conducted research by going to the region, and written books on cultural policies. I will give some titles from the episode where Mutlu Hanım and I discussed many topics, from Rose and Bruno Mars' song Apt (apathy apathy) to Korean game culture, from K-dramas to "fan labor"...
* The name of one of Mutlu Hanım's books can say a lot: Cultural Diplomacy and the Korean Wave - Hallyu Cinema Industry, K-Dramas and K-Pop in South Korea...
* What is the Korean wave-Hallyu? How did the waves come, what's new?
* What have K-drama and K-Pop changed in different countries of the world and in Korea?
* Democratization - the relationship between economic development
* Cultural exports alongside heavy industrialization...
* Content is king! KOCCA (Korea Creative Content Agency) - KOFIC (Korean Film Council)
* The superficial side of Korean fan culture.
* Korean affairs, where everything is measured, compared to the countless, data-free, and unregistered Turkish series industry
* Is the Chinese wave coming?
* Examples from Korean literature, the position of Korean cinema and fashion in the West...
* From curiosity to fieldwork, from learning different languages to "not staying in the same place for long," how to become a good academic?
Listen to all of it and much more in this broadcast.
