<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><font size="3">Taru Salmenkari will speak about "Images of Protest." In her presentation she will provide an analysis of different types of protest pictures commonly seen in the Korean press and in the web pages of protest organizers within the context of Modernist and Postmodern imagery outside of Korea.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3"> She will show that one common image of protest is cultivated by protesters themselves, but has also been adopted as one of the main images of protest by the Korean media. This image of united, militant protesters is the image that Korean trade unions want to show of themselves. This is essentially a natural Modernist image since it is promoted by a workers' movement that originates around the 1970s. Although it has resemblance to heroic realism, it has not only socialist but also indigenous Asian roots and instead of individual heroism it almost never presents people alone. This image is widely shared and sought after by protesters in regardless of class background.</font></p>
