[KS] [New Book] Activism and Post-actvism: Korean Documentary Cinema, 1981-2022

[Jihoon Kim]

Dear Koreanists (Apologies for cross-posting),

I'd like to announce the publication of my third book, *Activism and
Post-activism: Korean Documentary Cinema, 1981-2022 *(Oxford University
Press, Feb 2024). Having spent more than six years working on the project
and seeking its publisher, I manage to give birth to *the first-ever
English-language monograph *on the history and political-aesthetic
tendencies of South Korean nonfiction films and videos in nongovernmental,
noncorporate sectors, which have developed in close dialogue with South
Korea's sociopolitical, economic, anc cultural shifts since the early
1980s.

I hope that this book will be used for various readers, not only scholars
and students committed to documentary studies, Korean studies, and/or
Korean/East Asian film and media studies, but also people from different
disciplines (political science, anthropology, history, gender/sexuality
studies, urban studies, environmental humanities, trauma/violence studies,
etc.) who seek audiovisual materials in relation to their teaching of the
modern and contemporary Korean society and its history. For the book's
intro and flyer (including a discount code for its purchase via OUP

the book, as well as writing a review for a journal, please contact me via
