Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Screen Studies, Sueyoung Park-Primiano, presented her paper, "Hurrah! For Freedom: Politics of Love in Postwar South Korea, 1945-1949," at the American Comparative Literature Association Conference on April 1st in Los Angeles. The paper examines a cycle of "liberation films" in U.S. occupied Korea (1945-1948)--including Chayu manse (Hurrah! For Freedom, dir. Choi In-kyu, 1946)--that tells the story of love for country, romance, and marriage by returning to tradition and rejecting the emancipatory promises of free love introduced by modernity.
