Abstract:
»The painful, enduring and distressing legacies of the colonial period have exerted a palpable influence, whether directly or indirectly, on individuals and communities. These influences have significantly contributed to the intricate process of identity formation, notably by leaving indelible imprints on varied modalities of the representations of memory. This article focuses on the representation of the sexual and physical atrocities inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of women from various former Japanese colonies, including Korea, Taiwan, and Indonesia, by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. Concerning the media, artistic, and monumental representations, this research involves examining the subject of “comfort women” through the lens of memory studies. The article is in two parts. The first introduces memory studies and specifically the notions of “cultural memory” and “lieux de mémoire.” The second part investigates the academic and artistic responses to the issue via the memoir of a former “comfort woman,” Jan Ruff O’Herne’s autobiographical work Fifty Years of Silence (2008), and two Korean television dramas, Eyes of Dawn (1991) and Snowy Roads (2015).«
