트랜스젠더 인권의 정치적 실천 전략으로서의 공공공간

Abstract

This study is an attempt to analyze the strategic position of public space in the political practices of minority parties. Inspecting public space as a strategic choice for the political practice of the subaltern counterpublics, this study examines the strategic position of the public space in the political practice of subalterns, by analyzing the case of the '2019 Transgender Remembrance Day March' in Korea.
 As a result of the study, the public space itself turned out to be a strategy in practicing the movement for the visualization of subaltern identity by the actors, and at the same time, functioning as a space for the subaltern to practice various politic strategies. Actors are also aware of the importance of these public spaces, and have obtained various effects by strategically choosing them as a method of movement and appropriating the space.
 Physical public space becomes the lens that most explicitly exposes the criteria for who the community accepts as a member of the community in the real world. Since the right to the city—particularly, access to public space—is a right granted to everyone ‘in principle’, it paradoxically reveals the boundary of the exclusive right to the membership of the community most clearly. Therefore, the intersectional study of human rights and space will be a guideline pointing to the current state of minority human rights in our society, and at the same time, it will be an effective method for subjects crossing the boundaries of human rights represented by space.
