\u003cbr\u003eCan we not imagine a new democracy outside of this cliche of a past history that seems to be repeating itself even now?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Body, Spectacle, Democracy: Sociology for a New Public Square\" is the first book by Kim Jeong-hwan, a rising researcher who has gained attention for his work exploring Korean modernity through interpretations of various cultural phenomena.\u003cbr\u003e This sociologist, born in the 1980s, was unable to experience the powerful moment of democracy in the 1980s firsthand, but he uses extensive cultural resources to take a serious look at that era.\u003cbr\u003e While recalling the story of that time to the present, we are also wary of the historical intoxication that the so-called '86 generation', the people involved, are prone to falling into.\u003cbr\u003e From the portraits of martyrs Park Jong-cheol and Lee Han-yeol, who became symbols of democracy, to \"The Boy Comes,\" we calmly explore the images of bodies broken while trying to protect democracy, and reflect on today's democracy, where everyone shines in the square.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnusually, the 'Revolution of Light' was achieved not with the blood of victims but with the joy of all, and not with the voice of a single hero but with the voices of various people.\u003cbr\u003e Shouldn't democracy now transcend the sacred narrative of victory, encapsulated by the lyrics, \"I will awaken, advance, and ultimately triumph\"? Rather than becoming democratic citizens merely as players fulfilling historical goals, shouldn't we be mindful of the wounded and invisible bodies around us, so as to prevent a repeat of the drama of death and sacrifice?

(p. 74) According to Chapter 3, the images of beaten bodies by civilians who encountered this spectacle were seen as signs of a damaged democracy, and \"Gwangju\" became a symbol of state violence and a resource for reflection, an event recalled whenever the state exercised unjust physical force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 'collective body' of the people, analyzed in Chapter 4, is another spectacle that fills the narrative of Korean democracy. \u003cbr\u003eA square filled with people, a wave of people advancing with candles, people surging in from all directions. (Page 267) Min appears on stage as the main character and forms a huge gathering.\u003cbr\u003e This is a great spectacle in itself, and the various mourning rituals that take place within it are also a spectacular sight.\u003cbr\u003e The mourning performance, in which people cry, sing, and dance together, is not only a metabolic process that activates the collective vitality of the people, but also renews the people, whether performers or spectators, into new democratic subjects. (p. 303) Korean democracy was a process in which people, seeing the broken and burning bodies of victims and moving their own bodies, ultimately created a larger body, a more passionate democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author, born in the mid-1980s, looks at the various images that arose during this process with the seriousness of a youth of that era. \u003cbr\u003eAnd this powerful narrative of victory shakes us out of the political intoxication that it provides to this day.\u003cbr\u003e While the victory was repeated, the dead did not return.\u003cbr\u003e Democracy remains as an exceptional festival, but the progressive and gradual democracy of everyday life is nowhere to be seen.\u003cbr\u003e Shouldn't we now look back on the lives of the vulnerable people living among us and think about how we can care for them together?\u003cbr\u003e Before they meet their premature deaths again before our eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFor a democracy in a square where everyone can shine equally\u003cbr\u003e What kind of citizens should we be?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book makes us reconsider democracy, not as an ideal to be protected even at the risk of death, but as an everyday practice to be cultivated together with living beings here and now. \u003cbr\u003eWhat kind of democracy are we failing to see, captivated by the narrative of 'the dead saving the living'?\u003cbr\u003e In Chapter 5, which reconsiders the narrative and meaning of our democracy, the author asks:\u003cbr\u003e “Is it impossible to have a democracy that is not a sacred and holy democracy that brings about resurrection from the dead, but an everyday and secular democracy, a democracy in which each citizen can live equally, rather than a democracy in which the people are victorious over the state?” (pp. 358-359) This transition requires not a larger and stronger democracy, but a new imagination and practice of a democracy different from the one we have today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the Sewol ferry disaster to the entrapment accident of Taean Thermal Power Plant worker Kim Chung-hyun, civilian deaths continue to occur without interruption. \u003cbr\u003eNow we must move beyond the post-mortem question of 'who died and how?' and focus preventative attention on the question of 'who is precariously alive next to us?'\u003cbr\u003e How can we build democracy on the foundations of everyday life, rather than on recurring tragedies?\u003cbr\u003e How can we open up a democracy in the square where the voices and existence of the living can shine equally?\u003cbr\u003e The author continued this awareness of the problem through a joint study titled “A World Encountered in the Plaza: Analysis of Citizen Speeches at the Rally for Yoon Seok-yeol’s Resignation.”\u003cbr\u003e This study, which has garnered much attention, analyzes the aspirations and hopes contained in the citizens' voices echoing in the square, meticulously capturing how today's democracy is being reconstructed beyond the spectacle of death and struggle. \u003cbr\u003eIsn't democracy, which protects the lives of the living, beginning precisely within these diverse voices and even light? (p. 365) \"Body, Spectacle, Democracy\" vividly confronts the pain and joy inherent in the images of Korean democracy, yet, without being overwhelmed by their dramatic power, inspires hope for a new democracy. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396 pages | 408g | 140*210*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788936480868 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891434225706,"sku":"164581","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/d5a4cc65eb5b07ccbe47a37d779e751e.jpg?v=1765324577","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/164581","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
