Abstract

This study compares Snowy Road(2017) in Korea and Grbavica(2005) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and examines then the cinematic dismemberment of 'gendered trauma' related to women as wartime rapists. The following research process was carried out to examine these comparative films and visual culture research. Grbavica and Snowy Road were compared and discussed in turn as the study subjects. Speculation of the comfort women movie Snowy Road is about how the victims of the Japanese military comfort station during World War II are being reproduced as 'dislocated screen memories' by the present and the past. A speculation of the post-Yugoslavian cinema Grbavica is about the ‘postmemory’ related to the victim woman and daughter systematically perpetrated in the rape camp for the purpose of ethnic cleansing during the Bosnian Civil War. The studies of the two works, which focus on the aspects of women's harm caused by war, have been compared and reviewed, and the ethics of 'cosmopolitanism' is enhanced through the consideration of 'dislocated screen memory' of 'gendered trauma'.
