Pop culture bias

I originally posted this to the wuxia society freeforum in Jan 2021.  I will try to keep editing this. wuxia scholarly work https://wuxiasociety.freeforums.net/thread/1161/wuxia-scholarly-work I thought it might be useful to make a list of books, papers, or translations on wuxia, martial arts, or other historical fiction in literature or media. Maybe you will find something of interest.  List will be updated hopefully. Note that this is not an endorsement of any of this work. I do not really know how to assess this scholarship. One comment though is that I really like the articles and translations from the Wuxia Wanderings blog.

Justinjune feat. Choi Soojung – Stars I really love this song too.  I was kind of sad that it did not appear on Kpopalypse's Best Of lists.

Choi Soojung – Stars A seriously good ballad featuring lots of ambience, lots of space in the mix, and some cool instrument choices [emphasis added], three things almost universally absent from the typical Korean ballad format, “Stars” has a criminally low viewcount given the high quality here and given the popularity of far worse ballads out there.  ... ... This is another song where the acco...

I originally posted this to the wuxia society freeforum in Dec 2020.  I will try to keep editing this. Links to Completed Translations - spcnet.tv forum https://wuxiasociety.freeforums.net/thread/1159/links-completed-translations-spcnet-forum Hopefully this is unnecessary.  However, atumiwa had pointed out that the spcnet domain is expiring. There are a couple of internet archives that I know of. Internet Wayback Machine https://web.archive.org/ https://archive.today/ https://archive.ph/ It looks like quite a bit of spcnet is already archived on the Internet Wayback Machine, but not all.  There is enough archived though, that I think/hope that not much useful material would be lost.  My goal with some forum posts here will be to provide a copy (with some edits and additions) of some info on the spcnet forum that might make searching for material easier on internet archives.  I will also try to check that links have been archived. I will try to add other links th...
