Abstract

Fandom has been a popular topic in China with the rise of the Idol economy. While many of the studies around fandom talk about its influence, not many studies have been done around fandom itself. This thesis uses the ethnography method to focus on fandom and fan acts. The thesis discusses the fan identity and the stigma associated with this identity. It also talks about the hierarchy within fandom and how this hierarchy works. In the end, it presents the idea of aspiration and the reasons why fans are obsessed with their idols. This work shows the nature of the fandom and provides a closer perspective on fans’ lives.

Abstract

This paper offers an overview of the history of queer activism in South Korea, paying special attention to the formation of yeondae (solidarity) and sosuja jeongchi (minority politics) in queer politics since the 1990s. In particular, this paper engages in the ways in which queer activism has aligned and/or conflicted with broader social movements in postauthoritarian South Korea. This paper traces the radical kernel of queerness in practicing solidarity based on anti-capitalist and feminist critiques, bridging a range of forms of social marginality in South Korea. Queer activists have contested heteronormativity in mass protests and critically intervened in the democratic nation-building process of the liberal regimes of Kim Dae-jung (1998--2003), Roh Moo-hyun (2003--2008), and Moon Jae-in (2017--present) presidencies, as well as the Candlelight Protests (2016--2017) against Park Geun-hye. In curating and portraying six historical scenes of queer protests, this paper illuminates queer activist labor to imagine a new futurity based on minority politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
