Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article analyzes two distinct bronze sculptural monuments, one from the fourth‐century BCE Mediterranean and the other from present‐day South Korea, to examine how the politics of gender and difference shape heritage and heritage work. Although different in historical and geographic contexts, the monuments both represent women whose gendered and ethnic differences were mobilized by opposing political actors first to justify the violence enacted against them and then to contain or cover their monuments to engender what I call “carceral heritage”—heritage that is physically and symbolically policed by historical powerholders.
