For two and a half decades, protesters have gathered weekly across from the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea to make collective demands to the Japanese government for official recognition of and<\/span>\u00a0atonement for the sexual enslavement of girls and women euphemistically called \u201ccomfort women\u201d by the Japanese Imperial military (1932-1945). As fewer survivors have been able to participate in the protests, supporters have found new ways to mark survivor presence, most notably through the installation of a life-size bronze statue of an adolescent girl. The 2015 agreement between South Korea and Japan to \u201cresolve\u201d the \u201ccomfort women\u201d issue and the demand to remove the statue sparked outcry<\/span>\u00a0from the Korean public for its insincerity and inadequacy, further galvanizing the movement. Dr. Elizabeth Son\u2019s talk will focus on the interplay between street protests, embodiment, and memory in South Korea and how survivors and their supporters have utilized performative strategies to reimagine and perform expansive notions of redress.\u00a0 She will also discuss her multidisciplinary approach to narrating the history of a social movement.<\/span><\/div>\n
