American Movies
American Movies Grace M. Cho (bio) I knew few things about my mother's past when I was young. Among them, I knew that American movies captivated her imagination when she was coming of age in 1960s South Korea. She credited the movies for teaching her English, as well as for giving her Western-style tips—a fashion sense she described as "high class." Her favorite films were Doctor Zhivago and anything starring Grace Kelly. If I had paid more atten…

Homecoming
Performing an Ethics of Entanglement Instill Present Pasts
This essay examines the ethical and methodological challenges of researching and representing the "forgotten war" in Korea (1950-1953). Focusing on the experiences of Korean Americans, the author argues that conventional historical approaches often erase the ongoing presence of the past in the present. By engaging with performance theory and the concept of entanglement, the essay proposes an alternative methodology that acknowledges the complex a…
