Abstract

Looking at contemporary South Korean films, the essay relies on the conceptual double structure of the “state of fantasy” as articulated in cinema and the “state of emergency” in South Korea’s history to explore the engagement of those films with a set of global-local issues of corporeality and migration that arise in the age of cognitive capitalism.
