Abstract

The article discusses Eleana Kim's book, "Making Peace with Nature: Ecological Encounters along the Korean DMZ," which explores the unique ecological aspects of the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea. The DMZ serves as a buffer zone to prevent military confrontations and restrict human encroachment, but it has also become a space for new knowledge production about inter-species interactions and envisioning peace with nature. The book examines the intersection of militarism and capitalist desire in the DMZ, as well as the impact of neoliberal government intervention on the area. It highlights the importance of understanding the DMZ as a place to make peace with nature and the complex relationships between humans and nonhumans in this exceptional space.
