DESCRIPTION:Drawing on understudied materials including films\, photographs
 \, poems\, and radio programs\, this panel explores spatial and temporal f
 rameworks in transimperial history. Although the field of transimperial hi
 story has grown and shed light on the intertwined natures of multiple empi
 res\, it tends to focus on “the high age of empire” at the turn of the
  twentieth century (Hogason and Sexton 2020). Arguably\, conceptual distin
 ctions and convergences among different forms of colonialism also remain u
 nderstudied. Studies of settler colonialism\, other colonial formations\, 
 postcoloniality\, and decoloniality have often developed in disparate scho
 larly conversations. \n\nBy centering on colonial\, postcolonial\, and Col
 d War cultures in East Asia and the transpacific spheres\, this panel aims
  to complicate transnational perspectives on the history of empire and col
 onialism. Through case studies of colonial Korea and its diaspora\, US-occ
 upied Okinawa\, and Park Chung Hee-era South Korea\, we foreground colonia
 l and postcolonial experiences in transimperial cultures. The unexpected\,
  uneven\, and frequently violent encounters that unfolded in these spaces 
 force us to investigate connections across the ostensibly closed borders e
 nforced by the US and Japanese empires. Tracing ideas\, images\, and sound
  traveled through literature and mass media\, this panel questions how dec
 olonial struggles\, the discourse of indigeneity\, and Cold War cultures s
 haped\, and were shaped by\, transimperial politics. In so doing\, we will
  reveal the continuity and specificity of colonial formations across the g
 eographies and temporalities of empire.

DESCRIPTION:This panel brings together a diverse group of scholars to explo
 re the transnational history connecting the Korean peninsula to the intern
 ational system\, through processes of conflict and cooperation engendered 
 by the Cold War and decolonization. While these diverse papers cover a ran
 ge of perspectives from diplomatic history to media studies\, they share a
  general focus on the early post-war era on the Korean peninsula and ways 
 in which North and South were affected by and integrated into the internat
 ional system as they attempted to navigate a perilous Cold War landscape. 
 Collectively the panel presents a transnational and world history perspect
 ive on modern Korean history that highlights how key historiographical que
 stions are addressed by examining the interests\, conflicts\, and agency a
 nimating the peninsula’s global linkages.
