Korean Radio Drama
This chapter examines the inception of South Korea’s postwar radio culture by analyzing 1960s radio dramas, focusing on voice and voice performance. What kinds of indexical and iconic voices contributed to the popularity of the radio dramas in the 1960s? How does analysis of sound and voice add to the understanding of radio as an important tool for technopolitics, gender formations, and modernizing affect? The chapter argues that the dominance of…
Rethinking the “Arts of the Contact Zone” after thirty years
in her 1991 MLA lecture "The Arts of the Contact Zone" and her book Imperial Eyes (1992), coined and introduced the concept of the "contact zone."Described as spaces where "cultures meet, clash and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today" (1991, 34), the concept continues to have relevance today.Al…
Landscape of borders—some fragmentary thoughts
Broadcasting Solidarity across the Pacific
The South Korean radio docudrama and adapted novelTake Me Home(1978) were based on the real-life case of Chol Soo Lee, who in 1974 was wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in the United States.

Influenced by both the American civil rights movement…
Urban Modernities in Colonial Korea and Taiwan
Urban Modernities reconsiders Japanese colonialism in Korea and Taiwan through a relational study of modernist literature and urban aesthetics from the late colonial period. By charting intra-Asian and transregional circulations of writers, ideas, and texts, it reevaluates the dominant narrative in current scholarship that presents Korea and Taiwan as having vastly different responses to and experiences of Japanese colonialism. By comparing repre…
Between Documentation and Dramatization
Mass media radio culture and literature occupied an important and large space in the making of 1970s culture under Park Chung Hee’s Yushin regime. Radio technology and the sounds produced by radio broadcasting indelibly came to be used by the state to maneuver and discipline the masses, but it was also a medium through which programs and listeners found creative outlets to question state-produced truths. Against the popular belief that documentar…
Intermedial Aesthetics
In recent years, there has been, what some, including W.J.T. Mitchell, have termed, a “visual turn” where our encounters and experiences of the world have become increasingly more visual, even in the literary realm. The recognition that writers and literary works have long been engaged with the visual technologies of language has opened up a field of inquiry that has allowed scholars to further probe the relationship between literary works and th…

Missing Partners
This essay examines the single mother figures in Yom Sang-seop’s novel Three Generations (Samdae, 1931, 2005) and Bak Gi-chae’s film The Straits of Joseon (1943) against the backdrop of the late colonial period when the Japanese colonial government was beginning to exercise increasingly more repressive policies of assimilation (doka) and imperialization (kominka/hwangminhwa). By exploring the various levels of social antagonisms involving the sin…
