Vladimir Tikhonov’s recent book deals with the process through which Marxian socialism was domesticated and applied in different realms of society, thought and culture in colonial-age Korea. Seen as the alternative modernity, the way out from both premodern backwardness and modern predicaments, Marxian socialism gave life to a distinctively Korean brand of Marxist thought which focused its critique on such reified concepts as “nation” or “national culture.” It enabled Korean intellectuals to criticise contemporary far-right totalitarianism in Europe and search for ways of gender liberation by empowering women and emphasizing their agency. It was predicated on a vision of an interconnected globe, a spatio-temporality in which concurrent developments in Soviet Union or Chinese revolution were just as important as what was happening domestically, or inside the Japanese Imperial borders. As Vladimir Tikhonov argues, while these alternative modernist visions were never fully realized, their impact on both post-colonial Korean states was in many ways decisive.
