abstract="The matter of Korean &quot;comfort women&quot; poses multiple problems — of nomination, of identification, of representation, and of knowledge-production. This essay considers the possible implications of the various efforts by Korean/Americans to recall and represent Korean &quot;comfort women&quot; in literature, film/video, visual arts, and scholarship. Rather than attributing a shared ethnic and/or gender identity as the secure origin or compelling cause of their representational impulse, it argues that these efforts dispel the wishful trajectory in which a more intimate identification with the Korean &quot;comfort women&quot; leads to better representations of the &quot;comfort women,&quot; which in turn secures greater justice for these women.<p />",
