Abstract

This theoretical piece discusses the Sinchon Station IDAHOBIT billboard vandalism case and the collective action that occurred in reaction to it in August 2020 to open more avenues and perspectives for studying queer visibility politics in South Korea. A Bakhtinian “carnival,” the culture of queer Korean visibility politics draws inspirations from many different sources, signifying multiple perspectives and affects that are often considered incompatible with one another. Through semi-structured interviews of individuals who participated in constructing the co-authored space of the IDAHOBIT billboard, this project parses out the eclecticism involved in the creative poaching of Sinchon Station that sources aesthetics and historicity from internationalist queer visibility politics, local traditions of Korean leftist democratic movements, K-pop fan practices, etc. A reconsideration of the Sinchon Station IDAHOBIT billboard as a site of complex intentions pushes us to (borrowing Cedric Robinson and Sunyoung Park’s words) “discover” the historical vein of radically transformative power through queer praxis.
[酷儿]民正传统的发现:新村站IDAHOBIT广告牌的破坏与酷儿韩国政治的可见性
这篇理论文章讨论了2020年8月新村站IDAHOBIT广告牌破坏事件及其引发的集体行动,为研究韩国酷儿可见性政治开辟了更多的途径和视角。作为巴赫蒂尼式的“狂欢”,韩国酷儿可见性政治的文化从许多不同的来源汲取灵感,象征着通常被认为彼此不相容的多种视角和影响。通过对参与建设IDAHOBIT广告牌共同创作空间的个人进行半结构化访谈,该项目分析了新村车站创造性挖掘的折衷主义,这种折衷主义从国际主义的酷儿可见性政治、韩国左派民主运动的地方传统、K-pop粉丝实践等方面获得美学和历史性。重新考虑新村车站IDAHOBIT广告牌作为一个复杂意图的场所,促使我们(借用Cedric Robinson和Sunyoung Park的话说)“发现”通过酷尔实践的激进变革力量的历史脉络。
