The World-Form of Human Rights Comics
The geopolitical relationship between the West and the rest so central to the world-form of human rights–themed comics draws upon, in literal and discontinuous ways, a genealogy of American cartoons as a technology that was historically purposed. In mid-to-late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century capitalist print media, to make the case for racial inferiority and to advocate for US imperialist expansionism. As the United States extende…
Identity, Youth, and Gender in the Korean American Church
This book studies Korean American girls between thirteen and nineteen and their formation with regard to self, gender, and God in the context of Korean American protestant congregational life. It deve
Coda
For over two decades, Kim Dong-Choon has written about the history of violence leveled at the population since Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule and partitioned by Soviet and US forces in 1945. His research and theoretical reflections on state violence—committed by US forces, the South Korean police, military, and right-wing groups, as well as by leftist guerillas and the Korean People's Army—offer unique insight into what he calls …
Manufacturing Dissidence
Reading North Korean defector memoirs and Korean American “roots” narratives as forms of “second culture” relative to North Korea, namely, an alternative US-oriented culture whose representational authority is held as exceeding that of the socialist state of origin, this essay examines the ongoing Korean War as the backdrop for the neoconservative emergence of human rights critique of North Korea. Examining the transnational funding matrix behind…
The Unending Korean War
As an introduction to the special issue of positions: asia critique on the unending Korean War, this opening essay calls critical attention to the war's temporal contours, shifting focus from the question of the Korean War's origins that bedeviled Korean studies throughout the Cold War to the unsettling question of why the Korean War, in our ostensibly post–Cold War moment, is still not over. This introduction highlights how the image-essays, cri…
Illustrating the Postwar Peace
Enlisted to visualize Japan for two late-war issues of Fortune magazine, Miné Okubo, a Nisei artist best known for Citizen 13660 (1946), an illustrated memoir of life in an American concentration camp, was tasked with envisioning the place of the citizen-subject of a vanquished Japan within a world order restructured by a pax Americana . Commissioned to produce images that performatively made the case for America's war victory and Japan's defeat,…
Stranger than Fiction
And if it does start a war, hopefully people will say, ‘You know what? It was worth it. It was a good movie!‘” –Seth Rogen “Wacky dictators sell newspapers , and magazines-for example, the 2003 Newsweek cover depicting Kim [Jong Il] in dark sunglasses over a cover line that read ‘Dr. Evil.’ ...But demonization, and ridicule, can be dangerous. At its worst, dehumanizing the other side helps to lay the groundwork for war
War by Other Means
This essay offers a historicized overview of the consolidation of contemporary human rights as the dominant lingua franca for social justice projects today and applies it to the debate over human rights in North Korea. Highlighting what the rights framework renders legible as well as what it consigns to unintelligibility, it examines the antinomies of contemporary human rights as an ethico-political discourse that strives to reassert the dominanc…
Flashforward Democracy
Flashforward Democracy:American Exceptionalism and the Atomic Bomb in Barefoot Gen Christine Hong (bio) In a Fortune magazine poll late in 1945, only 5 percent of the respondents opposed the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and a significant minority wished that the United States had dropped more A-bombs on the Japanese. The lack of detailed visual evidence of the bomb's effects reinforced this initial positive response. US occupation au…
