dc.description.abstract | This dissertation explores how gender and globalization interweave in visual culture from a transnational feminist perspective, aiming to challenge the neoliberal, gendered discourses of globalization and to offer an alternative framework for remapping the relationship between women and globalization. Employing the concepts of home and displacement, it examines the visual cultural practices of marginalized communities of women, which are negotiated in a global-national-local nexus. It discusses the specific visuality of Third World/South femininities in the First World/North media, the displaced Korean women's visual cultural works, and the video-making workshops for the women migrants in Korea. As a transnational feminist visual culture study, it provides both a critique of how women's experiences are represented in transnational visual culture, and an understanding of the ways in which transnational visual culture enables women to identify their location and agency in the complex encounter between locality and globality. | |
