Abstract<\/strong>:
\nThe paper explores ways in which the contemporary refunctioning of
\nclassical literary and cinematic genres might continue to provide
\nvitality and relevance in building multi-faceted border-crossing
\nsocieties such as multicultural communities. In the case of Korean
\nhallyu cinema, Punch, the sleeper-hit film of 2011 about a
\nKorean-Filipino character (\u201cKopino\u201d), the \u201ccoming-of-age\u201d genre is
\nlocated at the nexus between the key features of the Bildungsroman and
\nthe project of multiculturalism in dominantly monocultural Korea. In the
\nprocess of refunctioning, the aesthetics of the film is reworked from a
\nnarrative structured by the integrative logic of an individual\u2019s
\ndevelopment (Bildungsroman) into a political site for negotiation of
\ncontentious tensions across cultures (multiculturalism). As a \u201chybrid\u201d
\nKorean film characteristic of many products of the popular Korean
\nculture industry, at its contact zone is the Kopino, the main
\nprotagonist, Wan-deuk, in which the structure of the Bildungsroman the
\nKorean han and the Filipino affect sana become resilient and dynamic if
\nnot always visible features that textually coalesce and collide in the
\nprocess of \u201cgeneric translocality,\u201d multiplying the tensions and
\nreframing the narrative structure itself. The result is the emergence of
\na refunctioned hybrid genre toward what might be called the
\n\u201cmulticultural Bildungsroman.\u201d<\/p>\n
