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.

American gothic

Another globally famous painting that has been parodied hundreds of times maninly by american's as a way of laughing at themselves, but these parodies do occur on a global scale and in a controversial move an eastern publications has re-situated this painted classic into a sinister depiction of America and it's supposed values from a very stereotypical perspective.  The artist appears to be an eastern satirist and may very well done this an opposition to the global war that was initiated by America to invade Iraq.

Irish Television

I was reading extracts from RTE and the Globalisation of Irish Television by Farrel Corcoran which is talking about how the Irish channel, RTE (which is basically the Irish version of the BBC) is not broadcasted throughout the whole of the island of Ireland and yet the BBC can be watched all over Ireland and reaches other countries such as BBC America.

I then came across this chapter which begins another argument into whether or not Globalisation is a good thing. 

The food system and globalisation.

Expanding on my last post about food in the UK this article discusses the food system as a whole. It discusses the differences between shopping in supermarkets and shopping local and the sustainability of produce coming from farmers. In my opinion people should buy local produce coming from farmers in the area as it helps keep them in business and you know where the food is coming from as opposed to buying food in supermarkets you still know the origin of food but it wont be from the UK. 

While reading the article it reminded me of a recent TV program I watched called 'Back in Time for Dinner' where one family went through 5 decades of the national food survey, they experienced how difficult it was to keep certain foods fresh, the lack of food in that specific time and how the increase of technology made an impact on the quality of the food. It also showed the imports of new foods such as Chinese and Indians meals but made you think about where the foods have came from that you're putting in your basket. As the show progressed the availability of foods increased and more choice was available. Usually when I shop for fruit or veg I will check on the packet where the country of origin the specific food has came from and it's such a shame to hardly ever see 'United Kingdom'. Watching the show was a real eye opener to see how much the world has changed I recommend giving it a watch!

I liked the goat.

Comics from around the Globe

"How do comics reflect the countries they were created in? As a series featuring collaborating artists from around the world concludes, a global look at comic styles offers a glimpse into national cultures.

The cult of comic has many followers. Some love the characters, some are in awe of the artwork. For many is it the simple skill of telling a story through pictures.
While the simplicity and soul of the comic is universal, the pages can vary according to the countries they were created in.
"There are different styles and themes," says Tim Pilcher, author of The Essential Guide to World Comics and the chairman of the Comic Book Alliance.
"These approaches can make the comics very different."

While the comic industries in Japan, Europe and the US are"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19112066

Here is a article in which I found on how comics styles and themes vary dependent on the countries on which they were created in, I love comic books and have always loved the styles in which I have seen and even practiced the style of drawing, from this I conducted a little research of the different styles from the different countries out there. Here is what I found:

British

 

Japanese

 

American

German

Spanish

And many more, this is one phenomenon which has taking the world by storm for centuries and are still going strong today, I thought it was time for me to dive into a visual aspect affected by globalisation and so I followed my interests and here it is, I find it fascinating how every country has a different way in which the communicate a similar story and the styles in which they work in are incredible.
 

Globalisation of Sexuality

J. Binnie (2004) The Globalization of Sexuality, SAGE, page 1

This is another of my posts linking to Identity which i find interesting and this opening segment was very interesting to me and it explores how sexuality has been affected by globalization, I found it very interesting that in the west gay men are referred to as 'predatory paedophiles', what are all your thoughts about this?
