  pm \n EAS Lounge, 14th Floor \n Robarts Library \n 130 St. George St. To
 ronto, Ontario M5S 1A5 \n\nSpeakers \nJung Joon Lee, Associate Professor
 , Department of Theory and History of Art and Design, Rhode Island Schoo
 l of Design \n\nDescription: \nAbstract The ever-expanding “global” or “na
 tional” history of photography necessarily involves epistemologies of mode
 rnity framed through center-to-minor or minor-to-center dialogues. Instead
  of seeking a “good” minority history of modernity, Jung Joon Lee works t
 hrough “minor” methods in her book Shooting for Change: Korean Photography
  after the War (Duke University Press, 2024) to explore the practice of p
 hotography under normalized conditions of militarism. The book treats Kore
 a’s transnational militarism as a lens to probe the officially and cultura
 lly sanctioned readings of images as we return to them over time. In this 
 talk, Lee considers the visualization of spaces of transnational militari
 sm—the U.S. military camptowns in South Korea—that are imagined spaces for
  most Koreans beyond South Korea’s sovereignty in the name of peacekeeping
 . Lee analyzes the gendered and racialized representations of Korean campt
 owns and their readings through the transoceanic history of racial capital
 ism, offering an analysis of Black worldmaking vis-à-vis transpacific exp
 eriences of de facto segregation and anti-Black racism both at home and in
  Korean camptowns, as presented in Toni Morrison’s 2012 novel Home and Yo
 ng Suk Kang’s 1982 photo series From Dongducheon.  Bio Jung Joon Lee is an
  Associate Professor in the Department of Theory and History of Art and De
 sign at Rhode Island School of Design. Her research interests explore the 
 intersections of art and politics, transoceanic intimacies, decolonialit
 y, and gender and sexuality. Lee is currently working on a book project t
 hat examines photography and art exhibitions as spaces for transoceanic co
 llaboration, kinship making, and repair. She was a Society for the Human
 ities Fellow at Cornell University for 2022-23 and a visiting scholar at Y
 onsei University’s Graduate School of Communication and Arts in 2022.  \n1
