But “ASEAN popular culture”, the letter has added both dynamism and dynamics to the evolution of regionalism in an area of popular culture studies. What’s about ASEAN in popular culture? What’s about ASEAN popular culture? Yet there is only limited comparative/collaborative research on the identity reconstruction effect of popular culture consumption on the average Southeast Asians. This statement thus aims to explore:

The magnitude, dynamics, and massive geographic coverage of the “flows” of this cultural form in East Asia signify its potential to become a powerful vehicle for bringing to life the 1998 ASEAN-Plus-Three Summit’s vision statement on an integrated regional community. The identity-formation effect of the production and consumption of popular culture will of course take a long time and follow a tortuous route to occur, if it ever does. Yet the industry-produced popular culture “flows” and the immense intra-regional contacts they have facilitated at the people-to-people level may trigger instantaneous and massive nationalist responses in any locale to any imported cultural programme over even such matters as its content’s “truthfulness”, “accuracy”, “allusions”, “interpretation of history”, “claims of heritage”, to name but just a few. Clearly, the identity reconstruction of Southeast Asia through popular cultural consumption is an issue of political significance and consequence for the region, and possibly with serious repercussions on the world.

Yet, it’s shocking to think that this country is somewhere that poverty and luxury live only a block apart. The American culture is one that is despised by most and idolized by few. Some believe the nation to be ironically contradictive of how it is portrayed; they believe it to be an American nightmare rather than a dream.

  • Why Is It Important To Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now?

    547 Words  | 3 Pages

    I decided to switch my artifact for the research paper from John Erick Dowdle’s No Escape (2015) to Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979) because I think this film is more suitable for what I want to research, which is how and why the media actively shapes Americans’ perception of historical events. I am also especially interested in the role Orientalism plays in this process. Unlike No Escape, Apocalypse Now has a lot more historical significance because it came out a few years after the Vietnam War (1955-1975) and is considered one of the most famous films about the Vietnam War. In addition to that, there is more room for debate about the significance of the film and its portrayal of Southeastern Asians.
