A critical introduction of modern popular culture: Paradigm of culture and cultural phenomena in Southeast Asia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Based on the development of thought, the field of cultural studies has widely debated on the topics of popular culture and related activities, particularly modern popular culture, mass culture, and its flows linked to the dynamics of each society. However, the common conclusion was that popular culture, which is about aesthetics in the daily lives of people in society and the influences of cross-border cultures, has emerged in different forms in several centers of popular culture throughout the world. Over the past decades in the Southeast Asia region, modern popular culture in these countries was influenced by the process of regionalization and developed on the basis of common Asian cultures including philosophy, religion, and language. This has produced a new paradigm concerning cultural values which has created a popular Asian cultural archetype grounded in both local cultures and abundant cultural resources.
