Within the East Asian region, a booming television program trade circulates television texts, both as programs and as formats for re-making within the native culture industry. In this paper, I examine the program Hana Yori Dango, a Japanese manga turned television program that has been produced in Taiwan, Japan, and recently Korea. In particular, the Korean adaptation called Boys over Flowers, which simultaneous caters to a national and export market, exists in cultural and historical tension with the originating authority of the Japanese version. Texts then, in this process of industrial adaptation and cultural indigenization, may be understood as contact zones where asymmetries of historical power battle. Examining the mismatch of Korean form and Japanese narrative in this television melodrama, the narrative traversal of modern spaces, and the reparative capacity of nostalgia in fiction, I expose a contested process of adaptation that defies the easy descriptor of “hybridity.” Reading the text historically and comparatively, I locate not only the cultural specificities and anxieties that mark this program as Korean, but also the phantom of a common, regional imaginary of the Asian modern.  \nThesis Supervisor: Henry Jenkins, III  \nTitle: Professor of Comparative Media Studies  \nImaginaries of the Asian Modern  \nText and Context at the Juncture of Nation and Region  \nTable of Contents  \n List of Figures 5   Acknowledgements 6   \n 0 Introduction 7   1 Melodrama 31   2 Site-Seeing 54   3 Nostalgia 81   4 Conclusion 109  References 116   \nTable of Figures  \n Figure 1 36   \n Figure 2 36   \n Figure 3 40   \n Figure 4 40   \n Figure 5 41   \n Figure 6 41   \n Figure 7 41   \n Figure 8 63   \n Figure 9 63   \n Figure 10 65   \n Figure 11 65   \n Figure 12 66   \n Figure 13 66   \n Figure 14 69   \n Figure 15 69   \n Figure 16 69   \n Figure 17 69   \n Figure 18 83   \n Figure 19 84   \n Figure 20 86   \n Figure 21 88   \n Figure 22 91   \n Figure 23 91   \n Figure 24 92   \n Figure 25 92   \nAcknowledgements  \nThank you:  \n– To all three of my committee members – Henry Jenkins, William Uricchio, and Tina Klein – for their time and insight on this project.  \n– To Xiaochang Li, my co-conspirator, with whom I happily get nothing done.  \n– To my team over at the Ed Arcade (Scott Osterweil especially for his moral support) for being flexible in this time of crisis.  \n– To my friends Dea and Lulu for bearing with me as I obsessed over this project.  \n0 Introduction  \nLocating Text & Context  \nWhen ","cbCaigw8gGkzvbBX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigw8gGkzvbBX","pdf",1211353,125,"English","# Introduction\n## Locating Text & Context\n# Melodrama\n# Site-Seeing\n# Nostalgia\n# Conclusion\n# References","[{\"question\":\"这项论文研究的核心文本是什么？\",\"answer\":\"论文聚焦于《Hana Yori Dango》，并重点分析其韩国改编《Boys over Flowers》。它讨论了该故事在不同国家与媒体形态中的再生产与改编。\"},{\"question\":\"论文如何理解跨国产品改编过程？\",\"answer\":\"论文将工业化改编与文化本土化视为“接触地带”，在其中历史权力的不对称会影响叙事与形式的选择。作者据此反对用“混杂（hybridity）”作简单概括。\"},{\"question\":\"论文考察哪些关键主题来说明改编的张力？\",\"answer\":\"论文重点考察韩式形式与日式叙事的错位、现代空间的叙事穿越，以及小说中怀旧的修复/补偿能力，从而揭示竞争性的改编过程。\"}]","Imaginaries of the Asian Modern - Text and Context at the Juncture of Nation and Region | PDF",315]
