While most studies on Korean nationalism centre on textual
analysis, Aesthetic Constructions of Korean Nationalism offers a
different approach. It looks at expositions, museums and the urban
built environment at particular moments in both colonial and
postcolonial eras and analyses their discursive relations in the
construction of Korean nationalism. By linking concepts of visual
spectacle, urban space and governmentality, this book explores how
such notions made the nation imaginable to the public in both the
past and the present; how they represented a new modality of seeing
for the state and contributed to the shaping of collective
identities in colonial and postcolonial Korea. The author further
examines how their different modes were associated with the change
in governmentality in Korea. In addressing these questions, the
book interprets the politics behind the culture of displays and
shows both the continuity and the transformation of spectacles as a
governing technology in twentieth-century Korea. Aesthetic
Constructions of Korean Nationalism is a significant contribution
to a study of the politics of visual culture in colonial and
postcolonial Korea. The book will be of interest to students and
scholars of Korean Studies, Culture and Heritage Studies and Asian
Studies. Hong Kal is Associate Professor of Art History of the
Visual Arts Department at York University, Canada. Her research
concerns the politics of visual spectacle and collective
subjectivity.
