Yet in South Korea\, art and cultural development have played a crucial role in narrating the past\, present\, and future of the nation’s so-called kijich’ons\, or camptowns\, referring to commercial and residential districts that form around US military bases to cater to the soldiering clientele. Over the past two decades\, the United States and the Republic of Korea have pursued the consolidation of the local US military presence\, resulting in the slated return of over fifty percent of land granted to the US military to the South Korean government. This restructuring has initiated rapid economic and political shifts in former military base host cities. At once crucial for raking in dollars for the national economy following the Korean War ceasefire and stigmatized for their association with the militarized sex trade\, racial conflict\, and vice\, kijich’ons also yield their own spatial and sensorial regimes. This presentation explores the role that contemporary site-based art and cultural development play in shaping how the legacies of kijich’ons are sensed\, and made sense of\, in this present window of restructuring\, return\, and transition. \nMadeleine Han is a PhD candidate in American Studies at Yale University. Their dissertation explores the cultural\, memorial\, and spatial politics surrounding US military camptowns in South Korea. Their research has received support from the Korea Foundation\, Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, Yale MacMillan Center\, Yale Center for the Study of Race\, Indigeneity\, and Transnational Migration (RITM)\, and International Center for Korean Studies (ICKS)\, housed within the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies at Seoul National University. \n  \nImage: Gyeonggi Province official blog site.

SUMMARY:Performing Vulnerability: A Talk by Emily L. Hue with Linda Luu
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.  \nREGISTER \nProfessor Emily L. Hue and Dr. Linda Luu discuss Hue’s recent publication Performing Vulnerability: Risking Art and Life in the Burmese Diaspora (University of Washington Press\, 2025). \nA groundbreaking exploration of how diasporic Burmese artists navigate the intricate intersections of art\, politics\, and humanitarianism\, Performing Vulnerability delves into the complexities of vulnerability as both a personal and a performative act. These diasporic artists\, exiled due to state repression and political turmoil\, find themselves in a precarious balance between expressing their traumas and engaging with the international art market’s expectations. They use their bodies as canvases to communicate the scars of surveillance\, imprisonment\, and censorship inflicted by their home state while simultaneously confronting the commodification of their suffering by global humanitarian industries. \nEmily Hue\, associate professor of Ethnic studies and core faculty in SEATRiP\, is an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in studies of humanitarianism\, Asian American Studies\, visual art\, performance\, queer studies\, Southeast Asia\, and diaspora. She earned her PhD at New York University in Social and Cultural Analysis in the field of American Studies and BA in Women’s Studies from Vassar College. She has previously held a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in Comparative Literature and Languages at UC Riverside. She sits on the editorial board of the Critical Ethnic Studies Journal and is a US Area Editor at the Journal of Asian Diasporic Visual Culture in the Americas. \nLinda Luu is an interdisciplinary scholar of US empire\, race\, and therapeutic culture. Luu’s research looks at the role of psychological expertise in US liberal counterinsurgency both abroad and at home through the lens of the Vietnam War. Luu holds a PhD in American Studies. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users. There are all gender restrooms available. If you have any access needs\, please email mwb9975@nyu.edu.
