“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 *
