By charting intra-Asian and transregional circulations of writers, ideas, and texts, it reevaluates the dominant narrative in current scholarship that presents Korea and Taiwan as having vastly different responses to and experiences of Japanese colonialism. By comparing representations of various colonial spaces ranging from the nation, the streets, department stores, and print spaces to underscore the shared experiences of the quotidian and the poetic, Jina E. Kim shows how the culture of urban modernity enlivened networks of connections between the colonies and destabilized the metropole-colony relationship, thus also contributing to the broader formation of global modernism.East Asian Comparative Literature and Culture12.Korean literature20th centuryHistory and criticismChinese literatureTaiwan20th centuryHistory and criticismCities and towns in literatureColonies in literatureImperialism in literatureComparative literatureChinese and KoreanJapanColoniesHistoryElectronic books.Korean literatureHistory and criticism.Chinese literatureHistory and criticism.Cities and towns in literature.Colonies in literature.Imperialism in literature.Comparative literatureChinese and Korean.895.7/09004Kim Jina1065860NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511718003321Urban modernities in colonial Korea and Taiwan2548161UNINA
