 No Minute Trend: Selling Time Keeping During the Colonial Period

 (도구부터 패션 아이템까지: 식민지 시기 시간 엄수의 상업화)

 The Japanese justified Korea’s annexation partly based on locals being behind the time and the common people

deserving better governance. Eventually, propaganda and commerce overlapped, as both the government and the

business sector insisted on punctuality, while citizens began to proudly wear personal timekeeping instruments. In the

presentation, Prof. Maliangkaij will discuss the main approaches watchmakers took to promote their business.

 Decolonial Re-membering? The Symbolic Return of Diasporic Heroes to the “Post–Cold War” Korean Peninsula

 (탈식민적 재-기억? “포스트-냉전” 한반도로 귀환하는 디아스포라 영웅들)

 How does postcolonial cultural memory re-member colonial diasporic subjects? Neither the Japanese contemporaries of

the professional wrestler Rikidōzan (1924–63) nor the Russian contemporaries of the Red feminist Alexandra Petrovna Kim (1885–1918) would have predicted their symbolic returns through various media to their divided homeland in the

twenty-first century. By juxtaposing two radically different persons who have rarely been discussed in conjunction, this

study explores how each has become a memorable trans/national hero of Korean origin who recalls unresolved imperial

legacies in an allegedly post–Cold War era. In bringing together old and new narratives about an Asian man and an Asian woman who surpassed imposed boundaries, Prof. Yi’s comparative, intersectional research into their varied representations in novels, comics, and films of the two Koreas and beyond aims to intervene into Euro-American discourses of colonial

migration, Cold War internationalism, model minorities, and global multiculturalism.
