dcterms.abstractPostcolonial studies have successfully unveiled the cultural, social, and political networks of imperial and colonial representations embedded in visual documents of the non-Western world. Within this context, the early photography of Korea has been presented as a cultural force imposed on Koreans in relation to colonialism and Orientalism. This dissertation rethinks the representational politics of early photography during the pre-colonial period of 1876 to 1910 by problematizing the master narratives and suggesting alternative ways to interpret this historical material. Through analyzing the historical contexts of photographic materials and practices, this dissertation argues that photography, as a device of cultural expression, helped native Koreans shape their growing sense of patriotism, individuality, and changing identity at the turn of the century.
