Abstract

Abstract:This study analyzes the framing of protests against the Korea–United States Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA), arguably one of the most significant and contentious contemporary movement events that occurred in South Korea. The anti-KORUS FTA protests have drawn the largest public, committed to challenging the hegemonic rhetoric of the Korean government's neoliberal policy initiatives, by asserting the trade deal as posing various social and economic ills to human life. Drawing on the combined framework of Gramscian analysis and the framing perspective, this study highlights the ways in which the anti-KORUS FTA protest activism exercises power by disseminating alternative discourse against the existing political condition. By examining a broad range of data, the study identifies three specific counter-hegemonic framings of collective action used by local civil society organizations to delegitimize the official discourse—'neoliberalism as the problem,' 'public accountability,' and 'national independence.'

韩国反韩美自贸协定抗议活动中的反霸权反抗与定格

摘要：本研究分析了反对《韩美自由贸易协定》（KORUS FTA）抗议活动的框架，这可以说是韩国当代最重要、最具争议性的运动事件之一。反《韩美自由贸易协定》抗议活动吸引了最多的公众，他们致力于挑战韩国政府新自由主义政策举措的霸权言论，声称该贸易协定给人类生活带来了各种社会和经济弊端。本研究借鉴葛兰西分析法和框架视角的综合框架，强调了反韩美自由贸易协定抗议活动通过传播针对现有政治条件的替代性话语来行使权力的方式。通过对广泛的数据进行研究，本研究确定了当地公民社会组织用于使官方话语非法化的集体行动的三种具体的反霸权框架--"新自由主义是问题所在"、"公共问责制 "和 "国家独立"。
