K-pop Dance Fandoming Yourself on Social Media

K-pop Dance Fandoming Yourself on Social Media

This book is about K-pop dance and the evolution and presence of its dance fandom on social media. Based on five years of ethnographic fieldwork interviews choreography and participation-observation with 40 amateur and professional K-pop dancers in New York California and Seoul the book traces the evolution of K-pop dance from the 1980s to the 2020s and explains its distinctive feature called ‘gestural point choreography’ – front-driven two-dimensional decorative and charming movements of the upper body and face – as an example of what the author theorizes as ‘social media dance. ’ It also explores K-pop cover dance as a form of intercultural performance suggesting that by imitating and idolizing K-pop dance fans are eventually ‘fandoming’ themselves and their bodies. Presenting an ethnographic study of K-pop dance and its fandom this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Media Studies Korean Studies Performance Studies and Dance. | K-pop Dance Fandoming Yourself on Social Media

High-k Gate Dielectric Materials Applications with Advanced Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs)

High-k Gate Dielectric Materials Applications with Advanced Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs)

This volume explores and addresses the challenges of high-k gate dielectric materials one of the major concerns in the evolving semiconductor industry and the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). The application of high-k gate dielectric materials is a promising strategy that allows further miniaturization of microelectronic components. This book presents a broad review of SiO2 materials including a brief historical note of Moore’s law followed by reliability issues of the SiO2 based MOS transistor. It goes on to discuss the transition of gate dielectrics with an EOT ~ 1 nm and a selection of high-k materials. A review of the various deposition techniques of different high-k films is also discussed. High-k dielectrics theories (quantum tunneling effects and interface engineering theory) and applications of different novel MOSFET structures like tunneling FET are also covered in this book. The volume also looks at the important issues in the future of CMOS technology and presents an analysis of interface charge densities with the high-k material tantalum pentoxide. The issue of CMOS VLSI technology with the high-k gate dielectric materials is covered as is the advanced MOSFET structure with its working structure and modeling. This timely volume will prove to be a valuable resource on both the fundamentals and the successful integration of high-k dielectric materials in future IC technology. | High-k Gate Dielectric Materials Applications with Advanced Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs)

Reintroducing Robert K. Merton

Reintroducing Robert K. Merton

This book reintroduces the work of Robert K. Merton as a bridge between classical sociology and modern sociology. Founded in the sociological classics but developing a modern approach to the advancement of theory and research methodology Merton’s thought helped to construct modern sociology in its coverage of many of the social institutional areas of contemporary society. Recovering and analysing the system of ‘structural analysis’ which Merton progressively developed – a system largely overlooked due to the tendency among commentators to stereotype him as a ‘functionalist’ – the author considers the applications of this approach to various substantive fields particularly science and criminal justice and examines the effect of Merton’s later ‘sociological semantics’ on his overall schema. A clear and accessible presentation of the array of concepts introduced by Merton to sociology Reintroducing Robert K. Merton will appeal to scholars and students with interests in sociological theory social research the history of sociology and the various substantive areas covered in the work of Merton – deviance science and communications.

K-pop – The International Rise of the Korean Music Industry

K-pop – The International Rise of the Korean Music Industry

K-pop described by Time Magazine in 2012 as South Korea’s greatest export has rapidly achieved a large worldwide audience of devoted fans largely through distribution over the Internet. This book examines the phenomenon and discusses the reasons for its success. It considers the national and transnational conditions that have played a role in K-pop’s ascendancy and explores how they relate to post-colonial modernisation post-Cold War politics in East Asia connections with the Korean diaspora and the state-initiated campaign to accumulate soft power. As it is particularly concerned with fandom and cultural agency it analyses fan practices discourses and underlying psychologies within their local habitus as well as in expanding topographies of online networks. Overall the book addresses the question of how far Asian culture can be global in a truly meaningful way and how popular culture from a marginal nation has become a global phenomenon. | K-pop – The International Rise of the Korean Music Industry

K 12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor Toward an Educational Way of Thinking

K 12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor Toward an Educational Way of Thinking

Considering the role of compulsory mass education and schooling in a democratic society this book introduces an alternative vision for K-12 education as an adventurous endeavour. Grounded in a strong theoretical framework Yosef-Hassidim reveals the negative impact of instrumentalization of schools: when education is considered a social and political instrument it serves dominant social forces’ interests rather than students’ or humanity as a whole. Offering conceptual and pragmatic frameworks to limit political influence on schooling the author proposes a new hermeneutical structure that restores education’s agency and separates it from external social forces and provides the foundation for regarding K-12 education as a sovereign social sphere in its own right. | K�12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor Toward an Educational Way of Thinking

The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick

The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick

This book presents a comparison of the Gnostic worldviews of Carl G. Jung and science-fiction author Philip K. Dick two figures who have done far more than most to revive an interest in the Gnostic tradition in the modern world. Despite profoundly different approaches - one was a depth psychologist whose unique insights and approach to psychology forced him to explore the depths of the unconscious in a way that inevitably led him to touch frequently on metaphysical or spiritual matters; the other was an author of science-fiction - there are some striking parallels between their unique Gnostic visions. With the relatively recent publication of both Jung's and Dick's personal journals - The Red Book (2009) and The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick (2011) respectively - in which they articulate their Gnostic visions it seems timely to make this comparison. | The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick
