This paper tries to clarify and explicate the implications of the ideologization of Korean War in American culture, devlving into the deep-seated guilt and fear of American POW experiences in the so called “forgotten war.” Caught between the national heores of World War II and the wounded but self-determined veterans of Vietnam War, POWs of Korean War have been treated as nuisance, or even a national trauma; their experience was neither properly acknowledged nor entirely repressed. Korean War has been down-sized when it was culturally necessary to forget how they failed in Asian misadventures, but forcefully represented as a significant event to start off the long and complicated drama of Cold War and the happy outcome thereof. Especially, Korean War films like Manchurian Candidate subtly demonstrates how Korean War has been accepted and at the same time repressed in American culture as a contradictory but threatening affair which is chielfy concerned with racial as well as red fear towards the Asian communist Other. The film brilliantly shows that Korean war is not entirely forgotten but remains to this day a distorted image, or a poweful ideology in service of racial containment in American cultural politics. Still, the film unexpectedly illustrates how Korean War would work as an ideologized image in American culture, a far more fancy ghost than the Vietnamese counterpart for the obliteration of national trauma at the time of cultural crisis.
Abstract
This paper tries to clarify and explicate the implications of the ideologization of Korean War in American culture, devlving into the deep-seated guilt and fear of American POW experiences in the so called “forgotten war.” Caught between the national heores of World War II and the wounded but self-determined veterans of Vietnam War, POWs of Korean War have been treated as nuisance, or even a national trauma; their experience was neither properly acknowledged nor entirely repressed. Korean War has been down-sized when it was culturally necessary to forget how they failed in Asian misadventures, but forcefully represented as a significant event to start off the long and complicated drama of Cold War and the happy outcome thereof. Especially, Korean War films like Manchurian Candidate subtly demonstrates how Korean War has been accepted and at the same time repressed in American culture as a contradictory but threatening affair which is chielfy concerned with racial as well as red fear towards the Asian communist Other. The film brilliantly shows that Korean war is not entirely forgotten but remains to this day a distorted image, or a poweful ideology in service of racial containment in American cultural politics. Still, the film unexpectedly illustrates how Korean War would work as an ideologized image in American culture, a far more fancy ghost than the Vietnamese counterpart for the obliteration of national trauma at the time of cultural crisis.
