Abstract

Avoiding either a celebration of SlutWalk as global sisterhood or a dismissal of this movement as postfeminist, this article seeks to understand the SlutWalk phenomenon as cultural production. The article examines how SlutWalk Korea (jabnyonhangjin) organizers bridge and traverse the cultural boundaries that arise among global SlutWalk movements, Korean feminist movements, leftist movements, and popular media. Through such traversing practices, the organizers not only produce activism as signified by posters, marches, and costumes, but also (re)construct a field of feminist cultural production. By participating in SlutWalk Korea, which recognizes their interdependence and acknowledges their interior otherness, Korean organizers create new feminist subjectivities that enable new political possibilities.
