His unshakable sense of incompleteness is ultimately cause by his own two-dimensionality. Applying Homi Bhabha’s reasoning in Remembering Fanon, Karim’s hybrid identity causes him to occupy two places at once. As a result, such degraded post-colonial subjects can become immeasurable objects, quite literally difficult to place. Stuart Hall, in Cultural Identity and Diaspora, addresses this problem of hybrid identity as he concludes that the complexity of identity exceeds the conventional binary structure of representation. Consequently, dualistic identities becomes mutually excluding categories. Eventually, the adult Karim seems to come to the conclusion that there is a space for both of his identities to exist. By accommodating his identity, stressing either his Englishness or Indianness when it serves to benefit him in some way, Karim is constantly…

This book offers an explanation of Edward Said 's evaluation of contemporary society by stressing the religious/secular division. Hart argues that this division is equally factual and metaphorical: It addresses spiritual and worldly customs, but also allegories that broaden the connotation and position of faith and secularism in an undetermined manner. Incorporating reviews and critiques of Said will help me present a rounded, unbiased view of his work within my dissertation. In this article,…

structural theorist Homi K. Bhabha.

Entering in the 21st century, K-pop took not only the country, but the world by storm—a phenomenon also known as the “Hallyu Wave”. International success of the industry led to the emergence of giant entertainment corporations. Companies like SM, YG, JYP, Cube are known as entertainment factories that create, perfect, and toss out boy bands and girl groups. But the sudden influx of groups inevitably leads to competition. The industry has turned into an arena that hosts a game of who can whip out…

Today, my topic is about Korean drama. Korean drama is very popular in the world, especially in Asia. l am very interested in this phenomenon. According to my research, it can be divided into three types------middle-aged women, teenagers and sociologists. The first type is middle-aged women. Middle-aged women like to watch Korean drama.

interest of the client, by recommending the best investments at the lowest prices. Implementation of the new rule is set out to prevent the $17 billion a year in government claims by reducing the exorbitant fees associated with financial planners. However, this has caused a major disruption to all financial advisors and how they operate (currently) under less stringent standard that requires investment advice to be “suitable”.

other hand, one of the blog manager named Roboseyo, argue that Korean stars are trying to act the way American popstars act and it will fall into the ‘almost there, but not quite’ zone, and people who are willing to take K-pop, its awkward English its cute or sweet stylings, and its boys wearing eye makeup on its own terms (Roboseyo: Kpop Can't Take Over America. Neither Can Anybody). It won't win over "the mainstream" of Americans. Because Americans prefer a sexy, powerful, tough image and…

No kid ever wants to work in fast food. So, when I turned sixteen I promised myself I would never work in a stinky, smelly, fast food joint. So I applied at every “cool” retail shop in the mall. I got one call back but didn’t end up making the cut. Sadly, my worst nightmare came true I had to take the plunge and apply at fast food restaurants. A few days later, I received a call from McDonald’s wanting to set up an interview. I went in for the interview a few days later, and was offered the job…

For my abstinence experience, I decided to give up Korean media for nine weeks. This type of media included YouTube videos involving reality shows of different popular Korean figures, Korean shows, and news involving Korean popular culture. I chose this habit because it has been an intricate part of my life for a few years now. Last year, I noticed that I appeared to have an addiction to watching Korean shows and other Korean media on YouTube. It reached a point where I was watching it almost…
