This groundbreaking volume explores the cultural memory of the Korean War through the lens of contemporary arts and film in South Korea over the past two decades.
Cultural memory of the Korean War has been a contentious issue in shaping South Korean postwar national and ideological identity. This book employs the theoretical concept of "postmemory" to examine the evolving attitudes towards memories of the Korean War and the Cold War, particularly in the aftermath of military dictatorships. The chapters delve into the efforts of younger generation artists and filmmakers to create new ways of representing traumatic memories, challenging the confines of solely focusing on the tragic experiences of survivors and victims. Extensively illustrated, this is one of the first English volumes to provide a comprehensive analysis of work centered around these themes by 12 renowned and provocative South Korean artists and filmmakers. This includes documentary photographs, participatory public arts, independent women's documentary films, and media installations.
The Korean War and Postmemory Generation will be of interest to students and scholars of film studies, contemporary art, and Korean history.
