SUMMARY:From SPAM™ to K-Pop: The Korean War and the Rise of Modern South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n\n\nSean C. Kim\, Professor of History\, University of Central Missouri \n\n\nIlisa Barbash\, Curator of Visual Anthropology\, Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, Harvard University \n\n\nSouth Korea has recently jumped onto the global stage through its economic rise and export of popular culture. Drawing on their new book\, The Forgotten Home Front: Roger Marshutz’s Photographs of Pusan\, South Korea\, 1952–1954 (Peabody Museum Press and KMEC Books\, 2026)\, coauthors Lisa Barbash and Sean Kim will visually explore a key moment of transition in the development of South Korea: the Korean War (1950–1953). This conflict ruptured Korea’s traditional and colonial past and ushered in new political\, economic\, and cultural opportunities—under American influence—that have shaped modern South Korea. By examining this moment of change through photography\, the lecture illuminates South Korea’s rise from a war-torn peninsula to an economic powerhouse and global cultural trendsetter. \nCopies of The Forgotten Home Front will be available for purchase and signing following the program. \nAdvance registration recommended for online and in-person attendance.
