I Can Speak

These are all 6 episodes of our podcast I Can Speak, in case you just want to listen to everything in one sitting :)

In this episode, we explore the way Comfort Women are represented in arts, particularly on screen. We notably use and analyse a striking short film called « Herstory » which assess this issue. We assess how narration and fiction can depict trauma, as well as the Comfort Women legacy. Hope you will enjoy!

In this very heavy episode, we explore the use of sex as a war weapon. We use the example of the Bosnian War and the Rwanda Genocide to show that this issue is, unfortunately, not new at all and is still very present to this day. We hope that you will find it interesting and instructive.

In this episode, we talk about a specific monument that was made to honour the Comfort Women in San Francisco. We explore the role of statues in the reparation process. We hope you will like it!

In this episode, we talk about the Redress Movement that tries to get reparations and recognition for the Comfort Women. We will look at the different reactions between Asia and the Western World, especially the US. We hope that you will enjoy this one!

In this section, we tell you a bit about the context in which the Comfort Women system was born, and the terrible conditions these women had to endure. This is a heavy topic, but we hope you will still find it interesting.

This episode is a quick introduction to our podcast I Can Speak. In this, we tell you about the different episodes and the reasons why we chose to talk about this particular topic. Enjoy!
