Feeling Asian Modernities – Transnational Consumption of Japanese TV Dramas

Koichi Iwabuchi is an Assistant Professor of Media & Cultural Studies at the International Christian University in Tokyo. For many years he was a reporter and producer for Nippon Television Network Corporation (NTV).

"The case studies presented in this book will be of significant theoretical value to international scholars. Since most theories in TV studies and transnational cultural dynamics are restricted to the binary of the West and the rest, this collection can provide regional and intra-Asia cases inaccessible to some Western scholars. The book can also provide discursive resources for Asian scholars to de-westernize local studies by pluralizing the point of reference in the field." - Eric K. W. Ma, Chinese University of Hong Kong."
