Imperial Romance – Fictions of Colonial Intimacy in Korea, 1905–1945
Autor Su Yun Kimen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2020
Focusing on Korean perspectives, Kim uncovers political meanings in the forms of representation of intimacy and emotions between Koreans and Japanese seen in print media and films. Imperial Romance disrupts the conventional reading of colonial-period texts as the result of either coercion or the disavowal of colonialism, thereby expanding our understanding of colonial writing practices. The theme of intermarriage gave elite Korean writers and cultural producers opportunities to question their complicity with imperialism. Their fictions challenged expected colonial boundaries, creating tensions in identity and hierarchy, and in narratives of the linear developmental trajectory of modernity. Examining a broad range of writings and films from this period, Imperial Romance maps the colonized subjects' fascination with their colonizers and with moments that allowed them to become active participants in and agents of Japanese and global imperialism.
