Manga - Culture and Globalization

In continuation from my previous post, as well as some continuity with Ben's post a few days ago, i'm going to be providing another example of shared culture. I previously looked at music, and Gangnam Style in particular, but now i'll be focusing my attention to other media, like books and comics, as well as TV coming out of the east, and how it arrives in the West.

In England, or anywhere in the west, comics are strongly related to superheroes and villains. You'll undoubtedly hear the words Marvel or DC thrown about, and people will shout their favourite hero. Comics are massive at the moment. Just look at what's playing in your local cinema and you're bound to see something that was an original comic; Iron Man, Spiderman the list goes on.

But something that's becoming more and more popular are graphic novels and comics from asia. Japan has almost single-handely got the market covered for this. People know it as the technology and videogame center of the world, with giants like Nintendo and Sony both having origins from Japan, but it's secret gem is animation and comics (Anime and Manga).

Just recently Studio Ghibli, the largest animation film studio in Japan released one of it's directors last movies 'The Wind Rises'. This was one of the first animated films to have come to western cinema, a milestone some might say. But it's definitely not going to be the last. With this have come waves of manga adaptations which are coming to the movies, Summer Phenomenon 'Attack on Titan' has already had an anime series made, but is set to release a movie in 2015/16, as well as Crime/Drama Death Note, widely regarded as a masterpiece in the genre. As a fan of these shows, i'm certainly glad they're embracing the limelight a little.

Nothing really new here, but just an extension onto what I previously wrote.

Gangnam Style - Culture and Globalization

Globalization's affect upon culture is definitely one of the more interesting points on the subject for me. I think that's because its easier to find examples in everyday life, and it seems to have a larger impact on us than things we don't necessarily notice.

As I've previously mentioned, with the forthcoming of technology our world has become more closely linked than ever before, and different nation's culture is allowed to cross borders. Today i'll be looking specifically into the song 'Gangnam Style' something everyone has heard of, yet a year before its release, the knowledge of K-pop in the western world was very minimal.


As i'm writing this, Gangnam Style has over 2.3billion views on YouTube. That's right, it has eclipsed everything else on the video sharing website in just 2 years. It became a global phenomenon overnight, and has sold over 4 million copies in South Korea; it's birthplace. What's interesting is that it's sold nearly the same amount of copies in the US. In a country on the complete over side of the world there are children singing Korean lyrics, rather than their native English.

Some people would attribute this to its catchy nature, and whilst it's true, I think there is more to it. K-pop or Korean Pop is a genre of music which has been becoming more and more popular in the western world. Along with other Asian music types like J-pop (Japan pop), they've become known for funky beats and soft vocals. This is a fantastic example of how globalization is actively effecting the world we live in, and it also strikes a little closer to home. You can hear or see these things everyday, and I think thats an important thing to note, globalization isn't always about corporations, it changes whats playing on your radio, or your TV.

As someone who didn't know much of K-pop before Gangnam Style, i'm constantly appreciative of how our world is closer than ever, and I can now experience other's culture through mediums like the internet.

An excert from my evaluation

When Neville Brody started to design for the face magazine, he was looking at the work of Russian constructivism for his inspiration. When peter Saville starting designing record sleeves for the manchester band, new order his scope for inspiration came from the Italian futurists. Inspiration comes from a global source. Not a lot of texts seem to cover the work of comic’s and the global scope of them. Japan exports manga to the world on a global scale which has given rise to the ideas of fandom’s and conventions which started as sub cultural events where only those in the know would go and now are major arena events.
