“…The nexus of speculative fiction and gentrification has previously been investigated by Maria Sulimma (2021). In her case study of N. K. Jemisin's New York novel The City We Became, Sulimma uses the concept of 'urban scripts' to identify 'intertextual meaning-making processes in the overlap of literature and the city' (2021: 2).…”

The introduction to this Special Issue considers how literary and cultural representations of cities in transition contribute to interdisciplinary vocabularies for describing urban change beyond gentrification. By ‘urban change’ we refer to shifts in city and regional planning and real estate development, but also to environmental events, patterns of migration and informal uses of the city that shape how urban places transform. The introduction frames scholarship about what gentrification can and should describe as a debate about language and representation. We revisit critical discussions of gentrification and turn to areas of urbanist scholarship that have effectively modelled more specific approaches to describing urban change. We introduce the five articles in the Special Issue and contextualize how their engagement with representations of urban change in London, metropolitan Delhi, Lubumbashi, New York and Manchester intervene in interdisciplinary urban scholarship by offering new tools for describing urban change amid neo-liberal globalization.

In the late 1990s, the landscape of the Korean film industry underwent a major change as Korean films emerged strongly and swept through Asia and the world with their consumer culture. With the advent of the Internet+ era in the new century, the consumer culture of Korean cinema has changed dramatically. In order to study the impact of the Internet+ era on Korean film consumption culture clearly, this paper analyzes the change in Korean film genres with the Internet trend and the distribution of the Korean film industry in the Internet+ era through Internet information dissemination model and personalized recommendation algorithm. From 2012 to 2021, the main genres of Korean movies changed from romance, drama, and war movies to crime, action, and disaster movies. Among them, the average share of war films reached 11.20%. The average share of disaster films reached 11.11%. The average share of action films is 10.88%. The average share of drama films was 10.97%. In terms of the film industry, the market share of local Korean films has always been able to keep from being surpassed by imported films after surpassing them. 2013 saw the largest gap between imported and local films, with a difference of 19.4 percentage points. In the Internet+ era, audience psychology, consumer demand, and business models have had a profound impact on the consumer culture of Korean films, not only changing the traditional layout of the Korean film market but also allowing film creators to consciously or unconsciously introduce new consumer culture themes in line with the Internet public.
