Talking Points: Alien Encounters

  • Asian populations draw from their connections to outer cultural sources.  They make cultural contributions to America by introducing culture and media from outer sources while making new original contributions in the spaces they open up for themselves.
  • Growing acceptance, taste, and demand for this foreign flavor of culture grows these cultural movements and creates more spaces and platforms for these contributions to be made.  The culture gets commercialized but also creates opportunities for Asian Americans to assert themselves and participate.
  • As the means to content creation becomes more widely available, Asian American media production and control over their image/identity increases.
