Reenacting, Remixing, and Speaking Back to the K-Wave from Below: Northbound Media Tourism in Thai Destination Cinema (Oct. 12, 2023)

Against the backdrop of scholarship on popular Southeast Asian receptions of (and reactions to) the Korean Wave, this talk considers the transmedial and intertextual contexts of a Thai “destination cinema” that satirizes, critiques, and remediates the desires created by the reception, translation, and domestication of many aspects of the K-Wave.
