Nicole A Stahlmann (Project Director: August 2012 to March 2014)
Steven C. Wheatley (Project Director: March 2014 to June 2016)

Eighteen months of stipend support for 1 to 2 fellowships for one year and a contribution to defray costs associated with the selection of fellows.

This proposal seeks funding for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2017 for the ACLS/SSRC/NEH International and Area Studies Fellowships. The program is integrated into the central ACLS Fellowship competition in acknowledgement that multi-disciplinary research characterizes not only area studies but much work in the humanities in general; area studies scholarship benefits from evaluation in this larger context. Integration of the programs maximizes the number of NEH Fellows as they are supported both by grant funds and by ACLS endowment funds. This proposal requests funding for 72 fellowship months per year to postdoctoral scholars working on Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Eastern Europe, or the former Soviet Union in all disciplines of the humanities and related social sciences.

K-pop Live: Fans, Idols, and Multimedia Performance (Book)
Title: K-pop Live: Fans, Idols, and Multimedia Performance
Author: Suk-Young Kim
Abstract: 1990s South Korea saw the transition from a military dictatorship to a civilian government, from a manufacturing economy to a postindustrial hub, and from a cloistered society to a more dynamic transnational juncture. These seismic shifts had a profound impact on the media industry and the rise of K-pop. In K-pop Live, Suk-Young Kim investigates the meteoric ascent of Korean popular music in relation to the rise of personal technology and social media, situating a feverish cross-media partnership within the Korean historical context and broader questions about what it means to be "live" and "alive." Based on in-depth interviews with K-pop industry personnel, media experts, critics, and fans, as well as archival research, K-pop Live explores how the industry has managed the tough sell of live music in a marketplace in which virtually everything is available online. Teasing out digital media's courtship of "liveness" in the production and consumption of K-pop, Kim investigates the nuances of the affective mode in which human subjects interact with one another in the digital age. Observing performances online, in concert, and even through the use of holographic performers, Kim offers readers a step-by-step guide through the K-pop industry's variegated efforts to diversify media platforms as a way of reaching a wider global network of music consumers. In an era when digital technology inserts itself into nearly all social relationships, Kim reveals how "what is live" becomes a question of how we exist as increasingly mediated subjects, fragmented and isolated by technological wonders while also longing for a sense of belonging and being alive through an interactive mode of exchange we often call "live."
