What does J-Pop, K-Pop, Britpop, and such tell us about world politics? From Sherlock Holmes to Detective Conan, Backstreet Boys to Blackpink, Bollywood to Nollywood, etc, our lives have shaped and been shaped by popular culture.
For the last 14 years, scholars from various disciplines have come together to discuss how the interplay of power, identity, and ideology impacted the production, distribution, and consumption of popular culture. This year, the discussion is brought to the Global South, hosted by the Graduate Program of International Relations, Universitas Gadjah Mada.
