*CFP* “GLOCALIZATION OF POPULAR CULTURE IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN MEDIA”, VOL.2, NO.3, SOUTHEAST ASIAN MEDIA STUDIES

Southeast Asians consume various traditional and new media content, which makes the region a big market for content distributors. In particular, drama series produced in China, Japan, Korea, India, and the United States have aired in Southeast Asian countries and were presented either through dubbed or subbed content. Music and fashion sense inspired by popular music groups in East Asia have also developed and gained a large fan following in the region.

This issue collates papers that analyze the various manifestations of glocalization in media content exhibited in Southeast Asia. Dreisbach (2018) defined glocalization as a wordplay of the terms global and local that means the accommodation of foreign cultural sensibilities by local actors. Robertson (2000) conceptualized glocalization as the accommodation and/or contextualization of foreign ideas which results in cultural diversity. In this case, we refer to the concept as the process in accommodating global media content and contextualizing it according to the tastes of local consumers. Due to the broad scope of the theme, the journal invites papers revolving around, but not limited to, the politics of global media content localization, translation studies on dubbed content or songs, and the sociology and economics of fan studies. As such, the issue is interdisciplinary, incorporating papers with a focus linguistics, history, politics, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, visual art, culture, and economics relevant to Southeast Asian media studies.
