Informationen zum Autor Kyung Hyun Kim Klappentext "This is an important book. There is a long tradition of scholarship investigating the representation of women in Asian cinema. This has included some consideration of Korean film, which more often than not finds the representations of Korean women wanting in one way or another. It took Kyung Hyun Kim's writing to turn my attention to the rich complexity of the men. His focus on masculinity--coinciding with the turn to the issue by major feminist film theorists--simply makes perfect sense. His is a particularly compelling contribution to the study of Asian cinema, but is simultaneously in dialogue with all manner of gender studies."--Abe Mark Nornes, University of Michigan Zusammenfassung Argues that although the last two decades of Korean history were a period of progress in political democratization! the country refused to part from a "masculine point of view" which is also mirrored in Korean cinema Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments ix Introduction: Hunting for the Whale 1 1: GENRES OF POST-TRAUMA> At the Edge of Metropolis in A Fine, Windy Day and Green Fish 31 2 Nowhere to Run: Disenfranchised Men on the Road in The Man with Three Coffins, Sopyonje, and Out to the World 52 3 “Is This How the War Is Remembered?”: Violent Sex and the Korean War in Silver Stallion, Spring in My Hometown, and The Taebaek Mountains 77 4 Post-Trauma and Historical Remembrance in A Single Spark and A Petal 107 2: NEW KOREAN CINEMA AUTEURS 5 Male Crisis in the Early Films of Park Kwang-su 136 6 Jang Sun-woo’s Three “F” Words: Familism, Fetishism, and Fascism 162 7 Too Early/Too Late: Temporality and Repetition in Hong Sang-su’s Films 203 3: FIN-DE-SIECLE ANXIETIES>8 Lethal Work: Domestic Space and Gender Troubles in Happy End and The Housemaid 233 9 “Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves”: Transgressive Agents, National Security, and Blockbuster Aesthetics in Shiri and Joint Security Area 259 Notes 277 Select Filmography of Major Directors of the New Korean Cinema 313 Index 321...
