Beschreibung:
"Shooting for Change examines postwar Korean photography and the discursive ways in which photography makes meaning and engages with memory in Korea and the Korean diaspora. Jung Joon Lee considers the role of photography-especially "national" photography-in shaping post-memory of historical events, representing the ideal national family, and motivating social movements. The book is organized thematically, following photographic practices from vernacular and art to documentary and archival, while treating the formative periods in nation-building and transnational militarization as both backdrop and cultivator for photographic works. Lee draws on photography of militarized sex work, political protest in the military era, war orphans, and mass protests. Shooting for Change is ultimately driven by a desire for an epistemologically decolonizing approach to Korean photography"--
