Abstract

This article provides a nuanced explanation of the ways in which the ordinary activists engage with the Korean peacebuilding. By undertaking three years of field research and analyzing the collected data, we have found that two aspects of the engagement are of great importance. First, the ordinary activists understand peacebuilding as an embodiment of everyday identity and language. Second, they make use of peacebuilding as a realization of ordinary people power. Both aspects reflect the people’s subjective reasoning of who they are and what they can do in their conflict-affected daily lives. The findings are expected to flesh out the ongoing conversation of people-centred or everyday peacebuilding in the Korean peninsula.
