Jin-kyung Park
In Bodies for Empire, Jin-kyung Park centers biomedicine and investigates “corporeal colonialism,” the relationship between colonial power and women’s bodies, during Japan’s rule over Korea—noting how illness became proof of Korean racial inferiority, and physicians conducted invasive examinations under the guise of civilizing a subject population.
