KOREAN MEMORIES AND PSYCHO-HISTORICAL FRAGMENTA...

This pioneering book is the first English volume on Korean memories. In it  Mikyoung Kim
introduces 'psycho-historical fragmentation'  a concept that explains South Korea's mnemonic
rupture as a result of living under intense temporal  psychological and physical pressure. As
Korean society has undergone transformation at unusual speed and intensity  so has its
historical memory. Divided into three sections  on lingering colonial legacies  the residuals
of the Cold War and Korean War  and Korea's democracy movement in the 1980s  Korean Memories
and Psycho-historical Fragmentation aims to tell multi-layered  subtle and lesser-known stories
of Korea's historical past. With contributions from interdisciplinary perspectives  it reveals
the fragmentation of Korean memory and the impact of silencing.
