Beskrivning
Digital Media, Online Activism, and Social Movements in Korea deepens the current understanding of online activism and its impacts on society by highlighting how various forms of social movements have been mobilized in Korea. Through exploring movements in Korea such as political participation based on SNS, the 2008 U.S. beef protests, and the 2016-2017 candlelight vigils, the contributors study the intersection of digital media platforms, current trends, and social, cultural, and political conditions within Korean society. Using a wide range of events and movements, this book analyzes how people have utilized the development of digital media to facilitate social movements and effect social change.

Recensioner i media

Editors Lee and Oh collected 16 chapters examining how the use of and access to digital media support democratic activism in South Korea. They acknowledge that autocrats can manipulate the reception of digital media as easily as democrats can. Each chapter, whether a newly or previously published journal article, follows the same format: hypothesis with literature review, a data analysis based on surveys or a deep dive into online resources, and discussion. The best chapters are 4 and 5 (examining political blogs), 10 (the dynamics of relationships by internet use), and 15 (comparative study of East Asian youth engagement) because of the strength of their analysis and discussion. The authors are active academics in communication and political science, so readers should have a basic understanding of Korean history and social development in South Korea and a thorough knowledge of the pedagogy and methodology of these disciplines to follow arguments and data analysis…. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
