<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black">Literature: In 1970s South Korea, poet Kim
Chi Ha became an international symbol of democracy when he challenged – in
writing, in prison, and on trial – the legtimacy of the military dictatorship.
Last year, Kim returned to center stage as a staunch ally of the dictator’s
daughter and a mouthpiece of the ultraconservatives who supported her election
as South Korea’s president. This talk will explore the changing place of
committed literature in the ongoing struggle over the meanings of South Korean
modernization.<br>
<br>
Film: South Korea has often been touted as the quintessential demonstration of
the superiority of free market capitalism for ‘developing’ the Global South. This
talk explores the experience of neoliberalism from the vantage point of
post-IMF South Korean cinema. In films like ‘The Host,’ for instance, the
monster can be seen in relation to U.S. empire-building in South Korea, which
has served as a ‘host’ for the American military for almost seven decades.<br>
<br>
Visual Art: This presentation explores the politics of representation of power
and memory in public space by examining cultural exhibitions – in particular
the monumental art projects sponsored by the South Korean government for the
1988 Seoul Olympics and the 1995 Gwangju Biennale - as attempts to manipulate
traumatic historical memory with a spectacle of capitalist success.</span><span style="font-size:14pt"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">In the
1930s, with Japan’s expansions into the Asian continent, colonial Korean
culture in general, and literature in particular, came to take important roles
as both subject and object of such imperial expansions. This paper reexamines
the colonizer and colonized binary by re-contextualizing the rise of translated
texts packaged as ethnographic “colonial collections.” In particular, this
paper historicizes the ethnographic turn relegated to colonial culture by
examining the rise of colonial collections as a manifestation of mass-produced
objects of colonial kitsch at this time. The complex position of the colonial
artist/writer cum (self-)ethnographer situated in between the colony and the
metropole embodies an uncanny contact zone as the artist and work of art become
reified as objects of imperial consumer fetishism. In the colonial encounter,
the artist as producer and the art object of his or her labor meld into
indistinguishable and interchangeable forms, as producer and product of kitsch.
In such relations of colonial alienation, cultural producers struggled to map
out spaces as agents of artistic expression, while agency for the colonized
artist often meant further alienation through self-ethnography or through
mimicry of the colonizer’s racialized forms and discourses.<br>

Nayoung Aimee Kwon is Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Asian &
Middle Eastern Studies, Arts of the Moving Image and Women’s Studies at Duke
University. Her research considers colonialism and postcolonial legacies in the
Asia-Pacific, focusing on Korea and Japan in the global context. Her book,
Disavowed Intimacies: The Conundrum of Modernity and Collaboration in Korea and
Japan (forthcoming from Duke University Press), examines controversial
encounters of Japanese and Korean writers and translators in the Japanese
empire and their postcolonial legacies. She has also co-edited (with Takashi
Fujitani) a special issue of the journal Cross Currents (May 2013) on the
antinomies of the colonial film archive in East Asia.</span></p>
