Liz Kim

Liz Kim is an assistant professor of practice in art history at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. As an art historian and critic, she specializes in late-twentieth-century American art, psychoanalysis, queer theory, moving images, and digital media.

In this book, varying definitions of “spoiled function as means to critique the dominant culture in the US that expects immigrants to assimilate, which reduces Asian American identity into a category, or worse, a stereotype. Through aggravation and deformation, Kim Lee pushes away from modes of being incomprehensible, to create openings for legibility.
