Diversity on the Korean Screen (Routledge Research in Digital Media and Culture in Asia)

This volume examines the representation of marginalized groups on the Korean screen to offer an academic exploration of the growing themes of diversity and intersectionality in audiovisual formats of South Korea’s media industry.

Exploring the representation of aging women, queer individuals, adoptees, and individuals with neurodivergence, the book presents comprehensive narratives of these underrepresented communities in South Korean society.

This book will interest students and scholars specializing in media studies, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, film studies, Korean studies, and Asian American studies.
