 an Li (Yale University) with Faculty Moderator Prof. Raymond Tsang (EASC 1
 50: East Asian Societies) \n \n\nThe cultural phenomenon known as Korean W
 ave (Hallyu) has flourished on the Chinese mainland since the 1990s\, both
  officially and unofficially\, despite looming political conflicts and cul
 tural boycotts. Although the term Hallyu was initially coined in the Chine
 se context and the phenomenon has reshaped the contours of Chinese pop cul
 ture\, the Sino-Korean entanglements in screen media have received little 
 attention in English-language scholarship. Tian Li’s research theories t
 he (re)localization of Korean screen culture in China through the concept 
 of what she terms screen capitalism—a system of audiovisual relations th
 at foregrounds the negotiations of boundaries through affective and sensor
 y co-experiences. Korean popular culture has been officially banished from
  Mainland China following the ban introduced by the Chinese government as 
 a protest against the U.S.-built Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAA
 D) missile system\, which has been under construction in Korea since 2016.
  This talk will show how Hallyu has already become an Amnyu (undercurrent)
  in the Chinese context\, and so (re)shaped the contours of Chinese screen
  culture despite that it continues under different names. By demonstrating
  the compatibility of screen capitalism’s logic with both capitalist and
  (post)socialist societies\, Tian Li contends that this audiovisual mechan
 ism\, insofar as it is fluidly transplantable\, ideologically permeable\, 
 and transnationally gendered\, circulates a shifting cultural paradigm bot
 h on and off the screen.
