중국 現 대중문화의 역사적 의의 및 중국 대중문화로서 지속가능한 韓流의 모색

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to inspect continuous possibility of the Korean Wave in China. Although China is willing to develop its cultural industry, policies of cultural industry by Chinese government have been still based on undifferentiated regulations of foreign cultural products, as well as its domestic cultural products. It shows that Chinese government has the intention to build Chinese cultural industry through popularity of 'Chinese culture', including popular culture, which Chinese government itself plans. Historical approaches to popular culture in China mean being equal to interpreting and understanding popular culture in the humanities perspective. In this respect, regulations by Chinese government need to be inspected in more fundamental perspectives. In other words, in China opposite recognition is rooted that regulations of its domestic cultural products include tradition vs. modernity and those of foreign products contain China vs. the West. This opposite recognition is the issue to penetrate Chinese modernism history. It indicates the opposite of westernization and anti-westernization camp. Therefore, actual regulations by Chinese government will hold out a position with consistent and stubborn policy principles in the future, as well as meaning simple protectionism. Chinese government and anti-westernization intellectuals remain a symbiotic relation in terms of cultural industry policy. The Korean Wave must be reviewed, understanding this opposite recognition in inner China. First of all, the Korean Wave in China has to escape an existing idea, ‘Korean popular culture'. If the Korean Wave emphasizes on ‘Korea’, it cannot emerge as 'China' to Chinese consumers, respectively. In the end, it results in being trapped in the frame of existing inner China that is westernization and anti-westernization. In addition, long-term strategies to intervene into discourse in the inner society of Chinese intellectuals should be considered. This explains a change in contemporary discourse that anti-westernization camp is superior. The more positive public opinions of the Korean Wave(or foreign cultural products) are, the more direct effect they have on an existing discourse(or regulations influenced from this).
