- Summary
- "Activism and Post-activism: Korean Documentary Cinema, 1981-2022 is the first-ever English-language book on the beginning and developments of South Korean nonfiction films and videos in the non-governmental and non-corporate sectors from the early 1980s to the present. Surveying the forty-year development of South Korean documentary cinema with the intersection of documentary studies, Korean studies, and local documentary discourse, Jihoon Kim argues that what is unique and particular about its history is the intensive and compressed co-evolution of activism aspiring to engage social movements and advocate democracy, progressiveness, equality in the forms of alternative media, and an array of post-activist experiments with documentary forms and aesthetics in the service of renewing the activist tradition"--
