초록

How does North Korea become visible and legible to us? What seems like propaganda and what seems like the real North Korea, and why? After more than 70 years of hostility it is an understatement to say that disrespect is deeply entrenched on both sides of the DMZ. Nonetheless, since the end of the Cold War in Europe and the cultural turn in Cold War Studies, scholarship on North Korea has become much more interesting. The monographs and articles examined here shed light on North Korea, but also speak to broader questions about human rights and hegemonic politics, visuality and capitalism, revolution and modernity, work and ideology, and the ethical framework for ending civil wars. In what is referred to here as critical scholarship on North Korea, we catch a glimpse of divergent postCold War currents and logic, with some shared commitment to look back, and to look again, from a position of proximity.

Abstract

How does North Korea become visible and legible to us? What seems like propaganda and what seems like the real North Korea, and why? After more than 70 years of hostility it is an understatement to say that disrespect is deeply entrenched on both sides of the DMZ.

The monographs and articles examined here shed light on North Korea, but also speak to broader questions about human rights and hegemonic politics, visuality and capitalism, revolution and modernity, work and ideology, and the ethical framework for ending civil wars. In what is referred to here as critical scholarship on North Korea, we catch a glimpse of divergent postCold War currents and logic, with some shared commitment to look back, and to look again, from a position of proximity.
