This collection examines literature and film studies from the late
colonial and early postcolonial periods in Taiwan and Korea, and
highlights the similarities and differences of Taiwanese and Korean
popular culture by focusing on the representation of gender, genre,
state regulation, and spectatorship. Calling for the
"de-colonializing" and "de-Cold Warring" of the two ex-colonies and
anticommunist allies, the book places Taiwan and Korea side by side
in a "trans-war" frame. Considering Taiwan-Korea relations along a
new trans-war axis, the book focuses on the continuities between
the late colonial period's Asia-Pacific War and the consequent
Korean War and the ongoing conflict between the two sides of the
Taiwan Strait, facilitated by Cold War power struggles. The
collection also invites a meaningful transcolonial reconsideration
of East Asian cultural and literary flows, beyond the conventional
colonizer/colonized dichotomy and ideological antagonism.
