The conference begins with the assumption that new forms of seeing arose in confrontation with successive cultural and political forces (Japanese colonial, Soviet communist, American liberal capitalist, global neoliberal) and the advent of new technologies. We seek to investigate the impact of technologically and politically transformed ways of seeing on both the subjectivity of the viewer and the appearance of the viewed. Toward these ends, the conference maps out three broad and interrelated dimensions of mediated visuality in modern Korea: media archaeology, the lasting effects of the Cold War, and the idea of cosmopolitanism. While its concerns are grounded in the Korean 20th century, the intellectual scope of the conference must of necessity expand its vision to regional and intercontinental practices.<span
