East End Books Boston Seaport presents: Bangtan Remixed: A Critical Bts Reader with Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez, 4/18 at 6pm. Boston Bookstore. Join us for a wildly entertaining evening exploring the cultural impact of celebrated K-Pop boy band BTS! Tickets: ***Free food and drink will be provided (boba with custom book cup sleeves, Korean finger foods in keeping with the theme). Free sticker gifts accompany the purchase of the book (See photo below) Bangtan Remixed delves into the cultural impact of celebrated K-Pop boy band BTS, exploring their history, aesthetics, fan culture, and capitalist moment. The collection's contributors--who include artists, scholars, journalists, activists, and fans--approach BTS through inventive and wide-ranging transnational perspectives. From tracing BTS's hip hop genealogy to analyzing how the band's mid-2020 album reflects the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrating how Baroque art history influences BTS's music videos, the contributors investigate BTS's aesthetic heritage. They also explore the political and technological dimensions of BTS's popularity with essays on K-Pop and BTS's fan culture as frontiers of digital technology, the complex relationship between BTS and Blackness, the impact of anti-Asian racism on BTS's fandom, and the challenges BTS poses to conservative norms of gender and sexuality. Bangtan Remixed shows how one band can inspire millions of fans and provide a broad range of insights into contemporary social and political life.

Review Quotes:
 Painted with both passion and erudition, Bangtan Remixed presents a complex portrait of a band that challenged and changed the rules of popular music today. --Suk-Young Kim, author of  K-Pop Live: Fans, Idols, and Multimedia Performance 
Review Quotes:
 Equal parts fan letter, manifesto, and critical research essay, Bangtan Remixed is a work of care and collectivity. Assembled by an impressive squad of queer and feminist scholars and writers who are also unabashed ARMY, the book helps us listen and think differently about BTS by starting from the radical premise that the best music writing can (and should!) be prompted by deep feeling and pleasure. As this reader and its contributors ask us to do, to take BTS seriously is to also reckon with the afterlives of war and empire; the changing landscape of pop music; and the people and places we imagine produce musical aesthetics, business models, and knowledge that matters. --Christine Bacareza Balance, author of  Tropical Renditions: Making Musical Scene in Filipino America 
Review Quotes:
 For readers undaunted by this combination of fandom and academia, Bangtan Remixed will be a rewarding experience, and for outsiders to the world of K-pop, it serves as a reminder of how much popular music has changed in terms of how it is produced and consumed in an interconnected world. --John A Riley  Asian Review of Books 
Review Quotes:
  Bangtan Remixed is a diverse collection of perspectives that has clearly been compiled with great care. Its well-written and concise chapters will serve as a valuable source and engaging read for those passionate about BTS, both personally and academically. --Megan Moon  Asian Studies Review  Contributors.

The experience was very good. The tour guide kept talking for an hour and entertained everyone. You can experience all the city views on land and water. The moment you got into the water, everyone was recording. When you met other duck boats during the journey, everyone would imitate the duck&#39;s call to greet each other

The aquarium is well designed, but the venue is a bit small. When there are activities in the school, there are a lot of children coming. Boston in May was still very cold and encountered heavy wind and rain. The ticket price feels a bit expensive.

Freedom Trail

西行阿里

The terminal of the Freedom Trail
This granite monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States, used to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British Army and the North American Colonial Militia (OK, I admit that I checked it recently
)
Now this is the terminal of Boston&#39;s Freedom Trail. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park~
The only way to get to the top of the monument is to climb the stairs
There are a total of 294 steps, and numbers are marked every few steps, so that people who are panting and climbing the stairs can have a number in mind

There is actually only a small space on the top of the monument, but looking out through the small windows on all four sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is worth it~

Boston Common

Historic buildings

Boston Park is a historic park located in the center of Boston. It is the starting point of the Freedom Trail. Today, Boston Park is an open green park.
