AB - This study examines the genealogy of women in the diaspora as presented in Jain Jin Kaisen’s documentary The Woman, The Orphan, and The Tiger (2011). Kaisen, a visual artist and experimental filmmaker, draws on her own experience as a transnational adoptee to explore major themes such as adoption and migration, war and women, imperialism and orientalism, post-colonialism, and neocolonialism. The documentary demonstrates how the genealogies of the female diaspora—ranging from Comfort Woman to Yanggongju to Adoptees—have operationalized the violence of gendered biopolitics in Korea’s modern history, from imperialism to the Korean War to the Cold War. This study explores how masculinized nationalism, militarism, and colonial legacies have fostered a political economy of transgenerational and transnational injustice through the mediation of women’s bodies. It also examines the cinematic strategies Kaizen employs to deconstruct official historical discourses and the possibilities for resistance and recovery presented by her work.
