Dong Yeon Kohs monograph explores the polemical issues of memory, post-memory and trauma from the Korea War to the present in South Korea. With the diverse theoretical framework of post-memory, Koh analyzes documentary photography, Korean films and moving images by contemporary Korea artists who are often distant from the historical events and tragedies and have no direct experiences of them. It is essential reading for understanding post-war Korean history, visual art and culture.

The Korean War and Postmemory Generation

This pioneering volume navigates cultural memory of the Korean War through the lens of contemporary arts and film in South Korea for the last two decades.

Cultural memory of the Korean War has been a subject of persistent controversy in the forging of South Korean postwar national and ideological identity. Applying the theoretical notion of postmemory, this book examines the increasingly diversified attitudes toward memories of the Korean War and Cold War from the late 1990s and onward, particularly in the demise of military dictatorships. Chapters consider efforts from younger generation artists and filmmakers to develop new ways of representing traumatic memories by refusing to confine themselves to the tragic experiences of survivors and victims. Extensively illustrated, this is one of the first volumes in English to provide an in-depth analysis of work oriented around such themes from 12 renowned and provocative South Korean artists and filmmakers. This includes documentary photographs, participatory public arts, independent womens documentary films, and media installations.

The Korean War and Postmemory Generation will appeal to students and scholars of film studies, contemporary art, and Korean history.

Dong-Yeon Koh is an art critic and independent art historian currently serving on the Seoul International ALT Cinema & Media Festival Committee. She is an adjunct lecturer at Seoul National University.

Heungsoon Im and The National Museum of Korean History

This book grew out of a handful of talks, magazine articles, and catalogue essays, which evolved into several academic papers over the last seven years. Since I first published an essay on Korean documentary photography on historical and social violence in Wolgan Misool (Monthly Art, Seoul) in 2012, I followed it up with my first academic essay related to this project in Photography and Culture in 2015. For our extended conversations, exhibition visits, and collaborative projects through which I became familiar with their artistic purposes and process, I must thank all of the artists who have supported me and shared their images for this book: Joo Myungduck, Heungsoon Im, Onejoon Che, and Suyeon Yun in . Lastly, the work is indebted to the families of artists, who also enthusiastically supported the creation of this book, such as Junyoung Lim for the artist Insik Lim, Seungjoon Lee for the photographer Kyungmo Lee, and Youngae Park for the Yontae Kim.

The book evolved through my close interactions with both domestic and international communities of critics and scholars over the years, and parts of this book have also appeared in academic journals. I express my deepest gratitude to the following academic journals editorial boards, reviewers, and colleagues, whose insights and careful suggestions helped me a great deal in changing and reshaping the theme and research scope of this book. Parts of this book developed out of articles I previously published in academic journals, yet a significant portion of the theoretical, historical, and cultural information about contemporary South Korean society along with the analysis of individual art works has been expanded and revised for international readers: Late Photography in South Korea: Heungsoon Im, Onejoon Che, Suyeon Yun, Photography and Culture (Routledge) vol. 8, 2015; The Place-ness of DMZ, positions (Duke University Press), vol. 27, no. 4, 2019; Postmemory Generation and Family Tragedies in South Korea: My Fathers Emails (2014) and Dear Pyongyang (2006), Korea Journal (Seoul), vol. 59, no. 2, 2019; Remembering Vietnam Veterans in Postwar South Korean Society,
