Short Abstract:

This panel comprehends intermediality and transnationalism in terms of Japanese media and literature. It also highlights the transnational intersections between Japan and Korea by bringing them into an academic discourse on Japanese media and literature.

Long Abstract:

Discourse of intermediality has grown since the 2000s in response to platform and network development for media circulation and consumption. This panel comprehends intermediality and transnationalism in terms of Japanese media and literature. It also highlights the transnational intersections between Japan and Korea by bringing them into an academic discourse on Japanese media and literature; intermediality's frictions amid the relationship of Japanese media with Korean. Four panelists will present the transnational intermediality in Japanese media and literature in terms of film history, literature, and cultural industry. Transnational intermediality replenishes the Japanese media and film history by fulfilling the blank of Japanese media studies.

First presentation includes another postwar Japanese film history that had been alienated from the dominant narratives. It focuses on the roles of Korean residents in Japan and Japanese filmmakers who worked closely related to Koreans during the postwar independent production movement.

Second presentation illustrates the translation and adaptation of Parasite by Bong Joon-ho to the Japanese theatrical version of Parasite: Family in Semi-basement. It describes how poverty is translated into this Japanese play and how the gap between the haves and the have-nots is adapted in the play.

Third presentation takes a journey to the poems by Kim Si-Jong (金時鐘1929-), a Korean Japanese poet who was born in Chosen to explore the meaning of living and identifying as a Korean Japanese, which is the most important ideology for Kim Si-Jong, through the analysis of the term horizon in his poems.

The final presentation deals with international film co-production in Japan and Korea in the wake of globalization since the 2000s in terms of transnationalism. The policy-driven cultural industries in Japan and Korea are intertwined with media globalization in the competitive circumambience. This study seeks to find the real agents in the Japanese and Korean cultural industries and the nation-branded policies.
