“Koreans are White? Art, Nation, and Post-Globalization,” Third Text 27, no. 4 (2013): 510–524. (original) (raw)

The paper explores the notion of Korean identity and art in the context of post-globalization. It critiques the historical interpretations of Korean identity, particularly the misguided belief in similarities between Koreans and Caucasians advanced by figures like Wladimir W Mitkewich. By examining contemporary Korean art, it reveals a shift away from stereotypical Asian traits and calls for a reconsideration of how globalization influences artistic identity, ultimately aiming towards a more nuanced understanding of national and international art expressions.
