Drawing on reinterpretations of melancholia and collective
remembrance, Memory, Reconciliation, and Reunions in South Korea:
Crossing the Divide explores the multi-layered implications of
divided Korea's liminality, or its perceived "in-betweenness" in
space and time. Offering a timely reconsideration of the pivotal
period following the inter-Korean Summit of June 2000, this book
focuses on a series of emotionally charged meetings among family
members who had lost all contact for over fifty years on opposite
sides of the Korean divide. With the scope of its analysis ranging
from regional geopolitics and watershed political rituals to
everyday social dynamics and intimate family narratives, this study
provides a lens for approaching the cultural process of moving from
a disposition of enmity to one of recognition and engagement amid
the complex legacies of civil war and the global Cold War on the
Korean Peninsula.
