In recent years, South Korean filmmakers have repeatedly drawn upon the nation’s experience of Japanese colonialism as an element in the construction of their films. This thesis examines the multiple ways in which contemporary South Korean cinema has drawn upon this period in the nation’s history, through both direct representation, and allegory and evocation. I demonstrate how new perspectives have emerged, creating a space to construct more nuanced considerations of the colonial period beyond nationalist paradigms, whilst not shying away from the traumatic elements which had heretofore defined the dominant perceptions of the era. Utilising trauma theory as a key framework, I argue that by restaging the traumatic events of the past on-screen, filmmakers have provided an opportunity for audiences to come to terms with this past. Turning towards the Korean concept of han, which addresses the accumulation of negative affect and how these negative emotions can be purged through the expression of han, I explore how the folk song Arirang has been mobilised as a way of connecting a film to this legacy of sorrow. By invoking the feeling of han in their work, South Korean filmmakers have tied their personal concerns to a wider national sentiment. I then draw upon the notion of spectrality, and the depiction of ghosts in contemporary films, in order to demonstrate the ways in which the present is haunted by the unaddressed actions of the past. Finally, I argue that a series of films featuring amnesiac protagonists serve to allegorise the ‘settling the past’ movement, which saw the establishment of a number of ‘truth councils’ tasked with investigating aspects of the nation’s twentieth century history. Ultimately, this thesis argues that it is only by addressing and coming to terms with the traumatic elements of our past that we can ever hope to be rid of their negative influence.

Most children discontinue daytime napping by the age of five. This study investigated the role of nap status and gender in executive functioning of Korean four-year olds, about half of whom have transitioned out of naps. Thirty-seven children living in the Gyeonggi-do area in South Korea participated in this study. A sleep diary filled out by parents was used to identify their nap habits and their executive function was assessed using the Fish Flanker Task involving three phases (standard, reverse, mixed). Looking at speed, reaction-time analyses suggested that girls take longer to warm up on the standard flanker task compared to boys a difference that diminishes by the next phase when children encounter the reverse flanker task. Looking at accuracy, children were slow to warm up. Although there were no differences in initial exposure to the standard flanker task, children were more accurate on congruent than incongruent trials in the the mixed phase regardless of nap status or gender. When shifting from the standard flanker to the reverse flanker task, habitual nappers were more accurate on incongruent trials in the reverse-flanker task compared to non-habitual nappers. There were no statistically significant differences in duration of nighttime sleep for habitual and non-habitual nappers supporting the idea that the advantage in accuracy on incongruent trials for habitual nappers was due to the nap. The results suggest that four-year olds may still receive a cognitive benefit from habitual naps, especially when they must shift between tasks.
