Abstract: This presentation will discuss (internalized) bi-negativity in young women’s sexual identity narratives, and will focus on the uniquely “trendy” context of young women’s same-sex experimentation for the “male gaze.” Particularly relevant to this context, bi-negativity surfaced through the labeling or understanding of bisexual women as “insecure” and “attention whores.”

Abstract: This study explores effects of humanitarian food aid offered by the South Korean government during the Sunshine Policy on North Koreans’ rights to food. Secondary research and data shows continuous and enormous food aid was offered, but not with proper monitoring system. This was carried out by policy, and resulted diversion of donated food and unfair food distribution in North Korea, which disturbed to improve North Korean’s rights to food. Furthermore, this research also presents that the food aid without monitoring system gives several challenges to both South Korea and international society to plan or operate future humanitarian food aid to North Korea.

Abstract: This study’s purpose is to examine the process and consequence of Dong-il Textile company’s young female factory workers’ struggle and resistance against the dominating force of capitalism and patriarchy in the historical context of the 1970’s Korea through analyzing the formation and transformation of their collective action and collective identities. I depend on theories such as Tilly’s contentious politics, Melucci’s contructivist view and Gould’s explanation of collective identity. I argue that several factors such as environmental structure, relational patterns or informal networks, ideology and critical events interplay with one another and help form and transform the collective identities. The collective identities of Dong-il female workers transformed from traditional women to uneducated manual workers who lack femininity, to workers with working class consciousness, to female workers opposing male workers as well as male capital, and finally to individual human beings who claims for basic human rights. And the final consequence of the transformation of the collective identities is disappearance of gender politics.

The new data challenge the claims of the 2006 Mecklenburg Report. More broadly, the data provide lessons about the challenges of collecting and interpreting field lineup data.
