Before the Amendment of the Act on Special Cases 1.1 Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes The History of Before the legislation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes, the only legal basis to report Amendments of Acton and punish sexual assault was the Criminal Act. The term ‘sexual violence’ was never clearly stated in any law, of course, Special Cases Concerning and any crimes of sexual nature were classified under chapter 32 of the Criminal Act, named “Crimes Concerning Chastity.” the Punishment, etc. According to the articles under chapter 32 of the Criminal of Sexual Crimes Act, “a person who, through violence or intimidation, has sexual intercourse with a female (article 297)”, “a person who, through violence or intimidation, commits an indecent act on another (article 298)”, “a person who has sexual intercourse with a female or commits an indecent act on another by taking advantage of the other’s condition of unconsciousness or inability to resist (article 299)” could be punished. The report rate of sexual violence was strikingly low, and even if the victim decided to report the crime, the complaints for such cases had to be filed within six months after the incident, and lodging a complaint against a lineal ascendant of the principal himself or of his spouse was not allowed (article 224 of the Criminal Procedure Act).1 From the late 1980’s to the early 1990’s, sexual violence cases showing a significantly diferent aspect from the earlier cases had occurred and received public attention. These cases sparked the beginning of the anti-sexual violence movement. Unlike the cases that had been publicized until the mid 1980’s, these cases targeted individual women and not any specific groups of women such as female workers. Moreover, the perpetrators of these cases were acquaintances and family members of the victims. These characteristics of the aforementioned cases drastically changed the public’s understanding of ‘sexual violence’.2 08 Part 1. How has ‘Spycam’ become ‘Illicit Filming’? 09 As a part of the anti-sexual assault movement, Korea is.

These organizations later joined the Korean 2. The History of Criminalization of ‘Obscene Acts by Using Women’s Association United in forming the Special Committee Means of Communication’ and ‘Taking Photographs or for Sexual Crimes.3 One of the key agendas of the Special Videos by Using Cameras, etc.’ Committee for Sexual Crimes was ‘sexual self-determination.’ The current law often applied to the punishment of online Women’s organizations during that time characterized sexual sexual violence, especially of taking photographs or videos violence as ‘violation of sexual self-determination’ for two and distributing them against the will of the featured person, reasons: “Firstly, to dismantle the patriarchal perspective is article 13 (Obscene Acts by Using Means of Communication) concerning sexual violence such as rape and indecent act and 14 (Taking Photographs or Videos by Using Cameras, etc.) of by departing from the traditional framework of ‘Crimes Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual of Chastity’; and secondly, to lay down the foundation for Crimes (hereinafter referred to as Act on Punishment of Sexual expanding the scope of actions that could be punished under Crimes). Let us look into the brief history of amendments of the name of ‘sexual violence’.”4 Furthermore, the Special these two articles.

  • Popular Culture and the Transformation of Japan–Korea Relations
    Popular Culture and the Transformation of Japan–Korea Relations This book presents essays exploring the ways in which popular culture reflects and engenders ongoing changes in Japan–Korea relations. Through a broad temporal coverage from the colonial period to the con- temporary, the book’s chapters analyse the often contradictory roles that popular culture has played in either promoting or impeding nationalisms, regional con- flict and reconciliations between Japan and Korea. Its contributors link several key areas of interest in East Asian Studies, including conflicts over historical memories and cultural production, grassroots challenges to state ideology, and the consequences of digital technology in Japan and South Korea. Taking recent discourse on Japan and South Korea as popular cultural super- powers further, this book expands its focus from mainstream entertainment media to the lived experience of daily life, in which sentiments and perceptions of the “popular” are formed. It will be useful to students and scholars of Japa- nese and Korean studies, as well as film studies, media studies and cultural studies more widely. Rumi Sakamoto is Senior Lecturer in Japanese at the School of Cultures, Lan- guages and Linguistics, the University of Auckland, and is convenor of Asian Studies, Chinese, Japanese and Korean programmes. She has published widely on Japanese popular culture, nationalism and war memory. She is a co- editor of Popular Culture, Globalization and Japan (Routledge, 2006) and Japanese Popular Culture (Routledge, 2014). Her current research looks at cultural repre- sentations of kamikaze pilots and self-defence forces in post-war Japan. Stephen Epstein is the Director of the Asian Languages and Cultures Pro- gramme at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, and served as the 2013–14 President of the New Zealand Asian Studies Society.

  • Troll Feminism: the Rise of Popular Feminism in South Korea
    Troll Feminism: The Rise of Popular Feminism in South Korea Euisol Jeong PhD University of York Women’s Studies September 2020 Abstract This dissertation explores a new form of feminist movement in South Korea that has emerged online. The movement, which I refer to as the ‘Megalia phenomenon’, was catalysed by ‘man-hating trolling’ in 2015, which distinguishes this new digital feminism from extant feminist movements. The dissertation interrogates how South Korean digital practices have shaped a specific form of popular feminism – which I term ‘troll feminism’. In this dissertation, I ask: how the digital venues on the South Korean web have interacted and intertwined with the Megalia phenomenon; how Megalian trolls devised their activist practices based on the digital habits; and how Megalians’ digital discourses were materialised through forms of practical activism. I trace how the participants in the Megalian movement appropriated the practices of online misogynists (such as aggressive and offensive trolling acts) in order to respond to prevalent online misogyny, which led them to develop a feminist movement. The fun entailed in trolling altered how people ‘do’ feminism in this movement, making participants experience it as game playing, hence ‘gamifying’ the activism. As the activism of ‘chasing fun’ through ‘man-hating’ enabled many women to question the gendered reality of their world, the politics of trolling provided a feminist critique of South Korean society that made women’s lives intelligible and made social oppression recognisable, resulting in their involvement in political resistance. I analyse the materialist orientation of feminist politics in the Megalian movement, arguing that its inclination to prioritise what is actual and material, practical and pragmatic derives from Megalians’ nature as digital users, and as gamers, who seek out direct and immediate reactions to their actions – which they experience as ‘triumphs’ in the gender war they are involved in.

This project evaluates specific Korean movies—and the reactions of South Koreans to gender representations in films that are considered “feminist”—along with the variety show genre, which also tends to reinforce gender stereotypes and imbalances. With these media representations as a framework, this research explores the impact of the internet in forwarding feminist views along with unearthing the reactions of Koreans.
