While men often play \"failing\" characters in need of conversion to the socialist ideology which every film promotes, women frequently embody the idealized hero: exhibiting the nationalistic self-reliance to which all citizens are encouraged to aspire. The function of \"Mothers\" and \"Maidens\" as revolutionary agents of change in key historical North Korean film texts is well documented; however, the subsequent evolution of North Korean heroines, and their ideologically problematic male counterparts, requires further examination. This article underpins an analysis of the disruptive femininities in play in three contemporary North Korean films with field research conducted in Pyongyang in 2012 to expand the Mother/Maiden binary: investigating how the power dynamics between the female \"leader\" and \"unawakened\" male are used to both promote the state's sociopolitical aims and reinforce the supremacy of the Kim regime.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"6 1","pages":"108 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45487252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Varying points of view are considered in the surveillance spectrum, demonstrating that while we can artificially fabricate omnipresence, omniscience still belongs to the heavenly realm. Humans will continue to encroach on personal privacy through the latest technological exploits penetrating the human within, while the angels will stand by their limitations acknowledging their role as listeners but not intruders. This article acts as a reminder of the intrinsic worth of human life in synergy with love, beyond the quantification of advanced technologies that seek to decorporealize and propel us to gamify our existence. What is important? It is the human connection; the ability to hold out our hand to another and have it clasped in reciprocity. This will reunify the world faster in compassion than any other technological marvel thrust upon us.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"6 1","pages":"109 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47119768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than introducing short-term and unpredictable characters to explore the impact of mental health disorders, two of the ensemble cast's four lead characters have on-screen diagnoses of mental illness. Gretchen has clinical depression and Edgar, a veteran, has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The interplay of two characters with complex mental health conditions living in the one household is inarguably rare in popular television. This article explores the accuracy of these onscreen representations of episodic mental health challenges, as well as examining the responses of those around them as they try to understand and support these characters during periods when they are markedly unwell.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"6 1","pages":"148 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46702000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Life, both human and nonhuman, is about mutual interconnections, relationality rather than about isolation, separation, and boundedness. The article seeks to examine the posthumanist vision of Satyajit Ray as expostulated in his films and scripts. His swansong, Agantuk (The Stranger, 1991), acknowledges that environment-induced science/technology outmatches modern rocket science and the launch of the Voyager. His proposed science-fiction film The Alien (1967) conjectures the possibility of a visit of an alien from a technologically superior planet to earth and predates the films about extraterrestrials in the decades to come. Ray explores the idea of artificial intelligence in a short story named \"Anukul\" (later filmed by Sujoy Ghosh), which raises some pertinent issues about the degree of autonomy reached by robots and the pressing need to develop new rules to manage them. As robots become more autonomous, the notion of computer-controlled machines facing ethical decisions becomes much more complicated.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"6 1","pages":"130 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47909061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The desire to communicate often-ineffable feelings about the ocean has inspired a diverse range of artistic responses to its moods, textures, and melancholic dimensions. In this speculative photo-essay, we present a series of images associated with a transmedial postconceptual artistic project titled Sounds of Unridden Waves. At its core, this project comprises a feature-length surf film (2021, forthcoming), without any human surfers, and an original instrumental soundtrack. In this essay, we draw inspiration from the late Romantic era to offer an alternate imagining of the project. We present images from the film's working archive and elsewhere, juxtaposed against a sequence of historical quotations from selected artists, writers, and poets, each of whom is responding to themes such as oceanic awe, seaside locations, and formal or spiritual meditations upon relationships between nature and abstraction in art.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"6 1","pages":"13 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43523179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An example of these modes was the \"Instructional Statement,\" which forms the basis for The Afterimage of John Wayne.

Viswamohan, Sanchari Basu Chaudhuri","doi":"10.5325/JASIAPACIPOPCULT.5.2.0146","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/JASIAPACIPOPCULT.5.2.0146","url":null,"abstract":"abstract:The article draws on specific theories of hegemonic masculinity through the performances of toxic masculinity to conceptualize \"angromance\" (our term for \"angry romance\") in recent mainstream Hindi cinema. It analyzes seminal discourses associated with sadomasochistic heroes in commercially successful Bollywood films Tere Naam (\"In Your Name,\" Satish Kaushik, 2003), and Kabir Singh (Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 2019). The attempt is to understand how these films, separated by nearly two decades, deploy standard conceits of Bollywood, which tend to normalize problematic and hypermasculine traits. The protagonists' metamorphosis into tragic heroes during the course of the narrative also reinforces the denial of agency of the female protagonists. Such transformation invokes compassion toward the tragic hero, and is marked by a shift in his physical appearance, leading toward self-destruction, bordering on masochism. This performance of angst was manifested in the character of Radhe from Tere Naam and his styling through the course of the film. In the case of Kabir Singh, the leading man's portrayal as tragic hero was remarkable for his unkempt looks, alcoholism, substance abuse, and increasingly misogynistic attitude. Quite evidently, both narratives draw upon characteristics from traditional portrayals of obsessive love on Bollywood's silverscreen. In recent times, representations of misogyny and sexism in popular culture have received a backlash, particularly after the exponential rise in crimes against women. Our attempt is to comprehend how Bollywood assembles various masculinities to validate the performance of angromance and, subsequently, the limitations of such masculinities.","PeriodicalId":40211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture","volume":"5 1","pages":"146 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43039178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
