Bio/Research
My research and teaching evolve around the relationship between the culture of publication and the historical experiences of modern Koreans, including the experiences of Japanese colonial rule, national division, the Korean War, the Cold War, and democratization. Through exploration of them, I pursue my particular concerns with gender on the one hand and with the literary text as embodied entity on the other. In my first book project, I studied the constitutive role played by Japanese colonial censorship in shaping modern Korean literature both physically and substantively. Currently, I am working on a book project tentatively titled “Rewritten in Divided Korea: Colonial Literature as a History, 1945-1960,” investigating the emergence of separate versions of the canon of modern national literature in a divided Korea.
