Abstract

ABSTRACT With recent research emphasizing different leadership roles that characterize networked social movements, brokerage has received renewed attention as one of the key responsibilities of networked movement leadership. However, in limiting the role of brokering to creating horizontal connections among decentralized actors, previous research is missing an account of grassroots movements that were able to make vertical connections with the power structures and grow to have a significant political impact. By comparing two cases of feminist networked social movements from South Korea, I examine brokerage and conditions that enabled brokerage through the lens of leadership. I argue that brokerage is a crucial dimension of movement leadership and propose the concept of meso-level leadership to elaborate how some grassroots leaders could facilitate grassroots representation in mainstream legislative agenda-setting by forming relationships with actors across a broad organizational and institutional spectrum.

在女权主义网络化的社会运动中，中层领导人作为横向和纵向联系的中间人

随着最近的研究强调网络社会运动的不同领导角色特征，经纪作为网络运动领导的关键责任之一重新受到关注。然而，在将中介的作用限制为在分散的行动者之间建立横向联系的过程中，先前的研究缺少了能够与权力结构建立垂直联系并逐渐产生重大政治影响的基层运动的描述。通过比较韩国女权主义网络社会运动的两个案例，我从领导力的角度审视了中介和促成中介的条件。我认为，中介是运动领导的一个重要维度，并提出了中观领导的概念，以阐述一些基层领导人如何通过与广泛组织和机构范围内的行动者建立关系，促进基层代表在主流立法议程设置中的作用。

期刊介绍： Drawing together the most current work upon the social, economic, and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the new information and communications technologies, this journal positions itself at the centre of contemporary debates about the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as: -What are the new and evolving forms of social software? What direction will these forms take? -ICTs facilitating globalization and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences, and regional sub-cultures? -Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy and public expression? -How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care, and leisure activities? -To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces, and entities in the material world? iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences.
