In recent decades, right-wing movements have gained renewed visibility across the globe, and East Asia is no exception to this global trend. Right-wing movements in Japan and South Korea are deeply embedded in disputes over the colonial past and postwar memory. In these debates, right-wing discourses of “historical truth” have become influential frameworks for interpreting and contesting the colonial past and collective memory within each national context. What is notable is that right-wing actors in these two countries have increasingly engaged in cross-border interactions around historical revisionism since the 2000s. This raises the question: how do right-wing discourses of “historical truth” circulate across Japan and South Korea, and through which networks, practices, and media are they produced and reinforced across national borders? Based on fieldwork and archival research, this talk will share preliminary findings and discuss the transnational circulation of revisionist narratives. Details and registration here
