episode 51: Aesthetic Markers of Genocide - Ju-Hyun Park On Bong Joon-ho's Parasite
In this episode we interview Ju-Hyun Park, author of the piece "Reading Colonialism In Parasite." We talk to them about their piece, and Ju-Hyun provides a ton of great context and background information for the film (spoilers!), but also a powerful reading of the film itself. We end with a couple of questions relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ju-Hyun Park is a writer of the Korean diaspora and a member of Nodutdol for Korean Community Development. Their work has appeared or is forthcoming in Public Radio International, The Fader, Out of Print and the Evergreen Review. They live in Lenape land called Brooklyn, New York.
