Visceral sensations, exaggerated affects, and suffering subjects characterized leftist Korean cultural production in the 1920s and 1930s. In popular fiction, print cartoons, reportage, cultural commentary, and other emergent forms of mass culture, scenes detailing the spectacular bodily harms endured by migrant workers, tenant farmers, factory workers, men, women, and children proliferated. This talk focuses on these textual and visual representations to tell the story of how the new affects and everyday experiences introduced by imperial capitalism and colonial modernity were mediated through the surface of the lower-class body. This book traces the emergence of the “sensational proletarian” as a central semantic figure of colonial Korean print culture and reads its varied manifestations as emblematic of Korean cultural producers’ efforts to use the sensations of the body to interpret and articulate the new political ideology and imaginary of Marxism. Kimberly Chung is Korea Foundation Assistant Professor of Korean Literary and Cultural Studies at McGill University. She received her PhD in Comparative Literature from University of California, San Diego. Before arriving at McGill, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Hongik University and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Korea Institute of Harvard University. She has published research on modern and contemporary Korean literature, visual culture, and art in scholarly journals like “Journal of Korean Studies” and “Acta Koreana” and was a special guest editor for the issue “Sensibility and Landscape in Korean Literature and Film” for “Acta Koreana” (Vol. 17 no.1, 2014). She is a co-editor of an anthology on Korean contemporary art titled Korean Art From 1953: Collision, Innovation and Interaction (Phaidon Press, 2020). Her book The Sensational Proletarian: Leftist Cultures in Colonial Korea was recently published in July by Stanford University Press.
