  • The Remembered War: the Korean War in American Culture, 1953-1995
    THE REMEMBERED WAR: THE KOREAN WAR IN AMERICAN CULTURE, 1953-1995 by JONATHAN C. MERRITT ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR KARI FREDERICKSON EDWARD T. LINENTHAL MARGARET PEACOCK SARAH STEINBOCK-PRATT A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright Jonathan C. Merritt 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT After three years of bitter fighting, the Korean War ended on July 27, 1953. It profoundly shaped and directed American Cold War policy for the next four decades. Korea’s place in American culture and memory, however, has seemingly been less profound. This dissertation reassesses the war’s legacy from the armistice in 1953 through the construction of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in 1995. It argues that representations of the war have shifted over time in response to contemporary social concerns, emphasizing different aspects of the war that resonated with Americans at the time. Simultaneously, the image of Korea as the Forgotten War has also shaped the war’s meaning and such a label, ironically, has had an important impact on how it has been remembered. Finally, the memory of Korea has been unable to escape the long shadows cast by other conflicts of the twentieth century, especially World War II and Vietnam. These wars have simultaneously limited and broadened the Korean War’s legacy. Taking these factors into consideration, this dissertation reassesses the Korean War’s place in American culture by tracing the various ways it has been remembered and represented.

  • Was M*A*S*H Really About Korea? What Part of the Culture of The
    Was M*A*S*H really about Korea? What part of the culture of the 1970’s was M*A*S*H trying to critique and what message were they trying to convey about the culture? Annastasia Bonczyk HNR‐350 Honors Research Seminar December 11, 2009 1 Part A: Abstract The Vietnam War is a fascinating topic. There is a wealth of conflicts, conspiracies, and catastrophes to study. The very fact that the US pulled out of the country in defeat is a compelling reason to study the war. The soldiers who returned were not greeted, supported, or respected by the American public, the people they were fighting for. Society left them alone to grieve the war and the situations that occurred there. Television is a popular form of entertainment. Today, it can be watched commercial free at the viewers’ convenience via online streaming sites. It was also popular in the 1960s and 70s as it brought a war from the other side of the globe into the American living room. The television sitcoms of this period are still available thanks to DVD releases and a wide variety of cable channels. I have used television as a distraction. This distraction allows me, for one hour, to enter into another world. I am the neighbor, the sister, the best friend as I experience life with the characters of the show I am watching. This can medium and experience can have a profound impact on the way we think about and interact with culture. For this reason, I am curious. Why would the citizens of the 1970s watch the television show M*A*S*H? It is full of irreverent humor about a war that the US is obviously losing.

  • Postgraduate Journal of Medical Humanities, 2 (2016): 84-98. M*A*S*H and Its Metaphors Beverly Smith (West Virginia University)
    84 M*A*S*H and its Metaphors Beverly Smith (West Virginia University) Airing in the United States between 1972 until 1983, M*A*S*H was a television sitcom that focussed on the surgeons at a mobile army hospital during the Korean War in the 1950s. Despite wide critical acclaim and popular interest, there are only two published academic studies that have focussed specifically on M*A*S*H; those of David Diffrient and James Wittebols. 1 Whilst Wittebols argues that M*A*S*H followed and reflected social change, rather than leading the charge in changing values, Diffrient, on the other hand, seeks to “take the reader from contextual issues . to textual issues” thus looking at the issues surrounding the creation of the television show and some of the innovative techniques used.2 As such, whilst the hospital setting was central to the programme, little work has been done to explore how the show addressed medical themes.3 When scholars have addressed medical issues these have focused on the portrayal of the doctors and the discussion is usually limited to the nature of the rebellion (sex and drinking), and has not gone deeper. 4 This article will thus explore some of the innumerable examples of concepts originating in medical anthropology that appear in M*A*S*H. After giving a brief overview of the programme, this article will use sections on metaphor and power & authority to analyse the show’s underlying themes of power dynamics between military and medical authority, ethnomedicine, and the Sisyphean task of medicine.

Since the widespread presence of so many mentions of Korea clearly demonstrates that the Korean War is not forgotten, this project critically evaluates several forms of public memory (including museum exhibitions, historical scholarship, films and television shows, state and local monuments, and memorial infrastructure including bridges, highways, buildings, and trees) in order to explore how the war has come to be called forgotten. This project also seeks to examine the foreign policy issues of labeling the Korean War as

Mann said that people who come to see his documentary “just to see Bob’s films” then he has done his job. Mann also more poignantly said that “Altman was America’s greatest filmmaker and that his work matters more than ever now because it stands in contrast to all the sequels that Hollywood makes to sell lunch boxes”. (Gilbey, 2015)1 This quote encapsulates what Robert Altman stood for as a film director in that it illustrates his innovative approaches to filmmaking, his maverick tendencies and individuality.

One of the most striking features of today’s television landscape in the United States is without a doubt the more open treatment and greatly increased visibility of a broad spectrum of LGBT characters and issues on primetime network and cable programming, a phenomenon that has risen in crescendo in recent years and has thus mirrored the American public’s growing acceptance of LGBT lifestyles and hot-button issues such as marriage equality or same-sex adoption.

  • M2700 M*A*S*H (Usa, 1969)
    M2700 M*A*S*H (USA, 1969) Credits: director, Robert Altman ; writer, Ring Lardner, Jr. ; novel, Richard Hooker. Cast: Donald Sutherland, Elliott Gould, Robert Duval, Tom Skeritt, Sally Kellerman. Summary: War/comedy set in 1950s Korea and Japan. Story focuses on three Army surgeons, Hawkeye Pierce (Sutherland), Duke Forrest (Skerritt), and Trapper John McIntyre (Gould). They develop a lunatic life-style in order to handle everyday horrors encountered in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War. Accompanying them are a weird corporal, Radar O’Reilly (Burghoff), a martinet nurse, Major ‘Hot Lips’ Hoolihan (Kellerman), and a sanctimonious Major (Robert Duvall). Although set in Korea, for the 1969-70 audience the film was clearly about Vietnam.

  • M*A*S*H, the Longest Yard, and the Integrationist Imagination in the Postsegregation Era
    M*A*S*H, The Longest Yard, and the Integrationist Imagination 27 M*A*S*H, The Longest Yard, and the Integrationist Imagination in the Postsegregation Era Austin Gorman I Toward the end of Richard Hooker’s 1968 satirical novel M*A*S*H, the soldier-surgeons of the 4,077th unit of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) compete in a football game against another team composed of US military medical personnel—the Evacuation (Evac) Hospital of the 325th divi- sion. At the time of the contest, both units are actively deployed in providing medical aid to wounded combatants during the Korean War—a harrowing and horrific task that is made (somewhat) more bearable by the dark humor Cap- tains Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce, Augustus “Duke” Forrest, and “Trapper” John McIntyre adopt as they go about their job of reattaching severed limbs and removing shrapnel from human flesh. Participating in a football game might seem to offer a welcome diversion from their bloody employment. The surgical team of unit 4077, however, does not treat their game against the Evac Hospital squad as mere recreational amusement. For Hawkeye, Duke, and Trapper, as well as their commanding officer, Colonel Henry Blake, beating the team of division 325 is a serious affair. The Evac Hospital possesses the veritable foot- ball powerhouse of the Far East war theater, and to upset General Hammond, the coach of the 325th, and his squad, Hawkeye plots to bring in a ringer: Dr. Oliver Wendell Jones, a black army neurosurgeon who, as a civilian, played professional football for the Philadelphia Eagles.1 0026-3079/2016/5404-027$2.50/0 American Studies, 54:4 (2016): 27–47 27 28 Austin Gorman The outlandish conceit of Jones living a double life as a pro football player and neurosurgeon, while attesting, in no small measure, to the ironic aspects of Hooker’s work, serves a practical purpose in the novel: it draws attention to a salient issue of military racial politics—and, by extension, American racial pol- itics in other contexts—during the 1960s.
