AB - The tragic events of the Korean War established Korea as a significant base for the global Cold War media network, due to its involvement in international disputes. Furthermore, the experience of civil war in Korea led to the destruction of human dignity, resulting in conditions that found resonance in contemporary film images. As a result, Korean society was rapidly integrated into the “postwar” world. This paper focuses on the issue of this awareness and re-examines the cultural-historical significance of the films that quickly flooded South Korean theaters after the Korean War, known as the “Post-War era.” This analysis aims to explore the changes in the perceptual field that influenced the cinematic practices of postwar generations in Korea. The paper also aims to formulate the political capabilities inherent in the cultural practice of consuming foreign films in the 1950s from an affect theory perspective. This is a preliminary investigation of the “quasi-stable potential energy field” that preceded Cold War subjectivity and individuation. It aims to move and mobilize the film-image derived from the perceptual field of the “Post-War era” with South Korean audiences who experienced the civil war. The paper pays particular attention to the cultural-historical implications of accepting American films, as it is necessary to understand the issue of Americanization as a potential field of unqualified pure experience in all areas of society, not limited to “nation representation.”
