2008年夏天，大规模的抗议活动震撼了韩国。这种政治爆发表现出许多新奇和意想不到的因素，不能用韩国的基本政治条件（强大的工会、民主化等）来解释。他们的假定理由--抗议新总统决定重新向美国开放韩国牛肉市场--也不能充分解释起作用的社会动态。在本文中，我们研究的政治地理学的“烛光抗议”（因为他们后来被称为），特别是集中在他们的小说方面：抗议者的主观性，激烈的意识形态斗争，和分化的地理。我们认为，新保守主义政权对新自由主义重组的深化形成了这些激烈冲突的根本原因。换句话说，新的抗议活动应该被视为对新自由主义化所产生的矛盾的回应，以及对韩国现行霸权条件的社会群体的新联盟。在这种观点看来，大规模的示威活动揭示了保守主义霸权的弱点，但未能产生一种不同的霸权。为了推进这些主张，我们考察了抗议活动的三个方面：第一，新保守主义政权的新自由主义政策;第二，围绕媒体的激烈意识形态冲突;最后，抗议活动的空间物化。
Massive protests shook South Korea through the summer of 2008. This political eruption which exhibited many novel and unexpected elements cannot be explained by pointing to basic political conditions in South Korea (strong labor unions, democratization, and so forth). Neither does the putative reason for them – to protest the new President’s decision to reopen South Korea’s beef market to the U.S. – adequately explain the social dynamics at play. In this paper, we examine the political geography of the ‘candlelight protests’ (as they came to be known), focusing in particular on their novel aspects: the subjectivities of the protesters, fierce ideological struggles, and differentiated geography. We argue that the deepening of neoliberal restructuring by the new conservative regime formed the underlying causes of these intense conflicts. In other words, the new protests should be seen as a response to the reinforced contradictions engendered by neoliberalization and a new alignment of social groups against the prevailing hegemonic conditions in South Korea. In this view, the huge demonstrations revealed vulnerabilities in conservative hegemony but failed to produce a different hegemony. To advance these claims, we examine three aspects of the protests: first, the neoliberal policies of the new conservative regime; second, the intense ideological conflicts around the media; and finally, the spatial materialization of the protests.
