Silenced narratives of 'comfort women
More than thirty years have passed since Kim Hak-soon’s courageous silence-breaking in 1991. Still, there is a paucity of research on the Japanese victims of the ‘comfort women’ system. The narratives of Japanese comfort women as gendered imperial subjects reveal that militarism and nationalism work hand in hand to mercilessly exploit women and to silence their voices of trauma as a strategy of statecraft.

The Politics of Trauma and Integrity
The Politics of Trauma and Integrity uses the lenses of gender and trauma to tell the stories of narratives testified by two contrasting Japanese "comfort women" survivors.

By applying the analytical concept of gender and trauma, this study draws on the ‘politics of integrity’ theorised by Aurora Levins Morales (1998) as well as the theory of ‘coherence of the self’ proposed by Charlotte Linde (1993). The social, political and psychological analysis of her life story reveals the complexity of the politics of integrity in…
