Abstract(s)
Lee Eung Bok's fantasy TV series, Guardian: The Lonely Great God (2016), partly uses contemporary Québec City for setting. Tourism may be an underlying motive, which articles on the reception of the series published in leading Quebec media seem to confirm. With this background information and the genre-specific features of the series in mind, this paper aims at exploring how Québec City is portrayed in Guardian: The Lonely Great God. The analysis will demonstrate that positive images prevail regarding the city in every aspect of fantasy, which contributes to making Québec City an attractive place for prospective Korean and other East-, and Southeast Asian visitors.
En partie, la mise en scène pour la série télé fantastique, Goblin (2016), est la ville contemporaine de Québec. Les articles sur la réception des séries publiées dans les médias québécois semblent confirmer que le tourisme est un motif sous-jacent. L'article va explorer comment la Ville de Québec est représentée dans Goblin. L'analyse démontrera que des images positives prévalent concernant la ville dans tous les aspects de la fantaisie. Pour attirer les futurs visiteurs coréens et ceux d'Asie de l'est et du sud-est, cette image fait l'impression que la ville de Québec est un endroit attrayant.
