South Korea has a history of demonstrations and protests that continue in the democratic era. From student protests to labor strikes to more recent #MeToo demonstrations, waves of contentious politics have reshaped the political landscape and protest itself in Korea. They have popularized tactics like the candlelight demonstration and organizational forms, such as national solidarity infrastructures. At the same time, extreme protest tactics persist and depend on material and emotional support from activist communities. Korean contentious politics is also engaging with transnational advocacy and the Korean diaspora, including through counter-mobilization. And new issues and competing knowledge claims are spurring mobilization. This year’s Hahn Moo-Sook Colloquium in the Korean Humanities will examine the competing voices and shifting practices of protest cultures in South Korea.
