Le 24 mars 2017dans le cadre de séminaire pluridisciplinaire d’études coréennesHyaeweol Choi (Australian National University, professeur invité de l’EHESS)présente une conférence intitulée« Desires in Colonial Memories: Kisaeng, Assassin and New Woman »de 14h00 à 16h00dans le grand salon de la Maison de l’Asie,22 avenue du président Wilson, 16e Paris.RésuméPopular culture is a powerful channel for re-imagining the past. In this presentation, I specifically analyze two examples: Capital Scandal (Kyŏngsŏng scandal, 2007) and Assassination (Amsal, 2015), both set in 1930s colonial Korea, examining the interplay between two competing desires: the desire for the liberated modern self and the yearning for national independence. These desires ultimately converge in a homogenizing narrative about the nation, reinforcing the still pervasive sentiments of “affective nationalism” in contemporary Korea.
