About the Book

In Shooting for Change, Jung Joon Lee examines postwar Korean photography across multiple genres and practices, including vernacular, art, documentary, and archival photography. Tracing the history of Korean photography while considering what is disguised or lost by framing the history of photography through nationhood, Lee considers the role of photography in shaping memory of historical events, representing the ideal national family, and motivating social movements. Further, through an investigation of what it means to practice photography under the normalized conditions of militarism, Lee treats the transnational militarism of Korea as a lens through which to probe the officially and culturally sanctioned readings of images when returning to them at different times. Among other themes, Lee draws on photography of militarized sex work, political protest in the military era, war orphans, and mass protests. Ultimately, Lee treats the formative periods in nation building and transnational militarization as both backdrops and cultivators for photographic works.

Review :
“Jung Joon Lee boldly draws the reader into intimate and unsettling engagements with historical memory through a masterful interpretation of photographs that have shaped political and social imaginaries of postwar Korea. This book courageously revisits both the turbulent and ambivalent emotional worlds of US military occupation, patriarchal authoritarianism, and political protest, forcing discomfiting considerations about the boredom of sex work, sardonic tropes of family happiness, and the mundanity of political protest.” - Rachael Miyung Joo, author of (Transnational Sport: Gender, Media, and Global Korea) “Renouncing the ‘homological’ nationality of ‘Korean photography’ by embracing the multiple and disobedient times of the camera, Jung Joon Lee’s investigation of ‘heterotemporality’ provides an exemplary frame for grasping the complex relations between media, ideology, place, and history. This is a richly rewarding and bracingly innovative analysis.” - Christopher Pinney, coeditor with the PhotoDemos Collective of (Citizens of Photography: The Camera and the Political Imagination)
