Kyung Hyun Kim

The Remasculinization of Korean Cinema

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is an important book. There is a long tradition of scholarship investigating the representation of women in Asian cinema. This has included some consideration of Korean film, which more often than not finds the representations of Korean women wanting in one way or another. It took Kyung Hyun Kim's writing to turn my attention to the rich complexity of the men. His focus on masculinity--coinciding with the turn to the issue by major feminist film theorists--simply makes perfect sense. His is a particularly compelling contribution to the study of Asian cinema, but is simultaneously in dialogue with all manner of gender studies."--Abe Mark Nornes, University of Michigan
