DESCRIPTION:Korean Cinema and the Korean Culture Industry has exploded in the last two 
 decades to create some of the most interesting, experimental, and 
 provocative cinema currently in circulation. \n \nIn production, conception 
 and reception, Korean films such as Oldboy, Peppermint Candy, Save the 
 Green Planet, Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring, Oasis, have intrigued, 
 puzzled, and astonished audiences and critics around the world. \n \nAt the 
 same time, the “Korean Wave”—television, music, performance, 
 art—has transformed the existing cultural topography in Asia, challenging 
 established centers of cultural hegemony and production.  \n\nThis 
 presentation will offer tools for understanding and deciphering Korean 
 Cinema and its rise to prominence, while analyzing the politics of struggle 
 behind this cultural wave: the traumas of colonization, fascism, and 
 hyper-militarized capitalism; the interstitial struggles for subaltern 
 representation in history and culture; and the contestation and 
 recuperation of ideological space & artistic vision within the country’s 
 brutal and nightmarish transition to Capitalist 
 modernity.\n\n**********\n\n" Among the points of fracture in artistic 
 formations, film is one of the most dramatic. We may truly say that with 
 film a new realm of consciousness comes into being".--Walter 
 Benjamin\n\n"The logic of the principle of expression implies the moment of 
 its negation, a negative form of truth that changes love into an inflexible 
 power of protest."--Theodor Adorno\n
