The paper critically examines resource mobilization theories, frame theory, and new social movement theories, and proposes studies on the spatiality of the social movements as one potential to mitigate the limitation in these theories. The resource mobilization theories and the frame theory, the strategy-oriented approaches, lack contextual understandings of the origin of social movements. While new social movement theories provide macro-scale analysis and the structural explanations of the origins of social movements, they have covered limited geographical areas. The spatiality of social movements promotes deep understandings of local differences, and contexts in and through which grievances are constructed and collective actions are organized. Physical structures and symbolic representations of places are often created and utilized as social movement strategies. The spatiality of social movements can be a useful conceptual tool to explain the diversity and the dynamics of social movements.

This study looks into Dooriban movement, which problematizes the ways in which social movements are carried out in everyday settings in modern Korea. Contrary to traditional social movements, Dooriban movement led by active/independent participants -who are locally situated and culturally sensitized- showed a new way of engaging with political power. Making use of qualitative methodology such as in-depth interviews and participant observation, this research examines the implications of emergent cultural practices that redefine and reconfigure the working mechanisms of social movements in Korea today.

Since the Arab spring in 2010, SNS prompted discussions about the roles to organize collective actions. First of all, mobile media and SNS help to mobilize both on and offline social movement, second, to create new forms of collective actions, third, to organize social movement organizations across the world, fourth, to empower movement participants to develop new collective identities. On the other hand, the same technologies also hinder social movements from developing continuity and dedication. In addition, the problems of digital divide might aggravate the divisive process to organize collective actions across the world. This research is built on these ongoing arguments about the potentials and limitations of new media technologies. In particular, this research tries to move beyond the confrontational approaches to the media through the case study of Save The Jeju Island social movements on Facebook. The movement SNS on Facebook aims to provide as well as organize international SMOs and activists that might help deeper understandings on the potentials and limitations of online communication strategies for global social movements.

The study of online social movements is basically concerned about the impact of the Internet on the existing social movements. More specifically, researchers have paid attention to changes in participants, leadership style and movement strategies caused by the Internet. Due to the Internet, networks of the individuals who are geographically scattered or a network of networks have emerged as new movement agents. Researchers have also analyzed a repertoire of collective action adopted by the online social movements. The increase in online social movements calls for a new interpretation of the existing social movement theories such as resource mobilization, collective identity and political opportunity structure. There are still a lot of debate about the impact of the internet on social movement and the resulting changes. Not only the early debate of cyber-optimism and cyber-scepticism, many studies done by the mid-range perspective also suggested different arguments on the impact of the Internet. This discrepancy comes from a relatively short history of online social movement study, which leads to a limited number of case studies and a shortage of date accumulations. In the future, researchers need to place more attention on the unique characteristics of different technologies and comparative studies of online social movements. The study should also extend its focus to a wide range of political systems in order to explain the impact of online social movements on political intermediary organizations and the democracy itself.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate how Self-Sufficiency Promotion Centers (SSP Centers) run by social movement groups have struggled to defend their voluntary identities in conflict with SSP Centers operated by professional social welfare centers. Since political democratization, social movement groups have been increasing invited to run frontline public welfare agencies in South Korea, and Self-Sufficiency Program is one of the representative policies in which social movement groups have actively partaked. But many critical scholars have warned that such institutionalization of social movements into social welfare system is likely to dampen their voluntary nature and force them to render their hegemonic power to professional social welfare institutions. In contrast to the critical viewpoint, however, this study unveils how social movement-based SSP Centers have strived to tackle the professionalization pressure by deploying various survival strategies at the micro level. Through a historical discourse analysis on the frontline conflicts between social movement-based and social welfare-based SSP Centers, this study contends that social movement groups in Self-Sufficiency Program can still maintain their traditional spirit despite the obvious professionalization phenomenon.

한국은 제1, 2차 경제개발 5개년계획으로 산업화와 경제 발전을 이룩하면서 심각해진 도 ${\cdot}$ 농격차의 해소를 위해 1970년대 초부터 농촌지역사회 개발을 위한 새마을 운동을 전개하였다. 새마을운동은 근면, 자조, 협동을 기본 정신으로 한 잘살기 운동으로 1970년 당시 대통령이 농촌개발에 대한 강한 욕구와 집념을 천명하면서 농촌 새마을운동에서 시작되었다. 자원이 부족하고 농촌의 사정은 더욱 열악하여 국민의 70%를 차지하는 농민의 상당수가 끼니를 걱정해야 했으며, 도 ${\cdot}$ 농간의 격차는 벌어져 도시로 인구가 몰려들고 사회는 불안정한 상태에서 농촌지역사회의 개발 없이는 나라의 발전도 안정도 기대하기 어려운 실정이었다. 농촌 개발을 위한 환경개선과 소득증대 사업에 주력했던 새마을 운동이 성공할 수 있었던 요인을 정부의 관심과 지원도 있었지만, 새마을 교육을 이수한 새마을 지도자들, 그 지도자들과 함께 근면, 자조, 협동을 실천했던 마을 사람들, 지역사회 주민들의 공동 노력이었다. 이 논문에서는 농촌에서 시작된 새마을운동이 도시의 직장, 공장 새마을운동으로 번져 범국민적 운동으로 나라 근대화의 원동력이 되었으며 성공할 수 있었던 요인들을 살펴보고 국제협력 사업의 일환으로 개발도상국의 농촌 지역사회 발전을 위해 새마을운동 경험을 공유할 수 있는 방안에 관하여 제언하고자 하였다.

우리사회에서 차지하는 학생운동의 위상은 한 부문운동의 그것을 훨씬 넘어선다. 학생운동 이외의 다른 운동이 제대로 성장치 못했던 70년대 이전은 물론이고, 전체 민족민주운동의 역량이 상당히 발전된 80년대 이후에도 학생운동은 여전히 우리사회를 움직이는 중요한 추동력이 되고 있다.

The korean society confronts with social problems which are resulted from the rapid development of science and technology. While the governments politic has concentrated on the economic application of science and technology, various citizens groups have been organized to solve the social problems by themselves. Historically the so called citizens movement in the field of science and technology was formed with the influence of students movement in 1970s. The activities and the aim of the movement have changed in accordance with the state of the korean society. They pay more attention to the enhancement of citizens participation in the development of science and technology. This paper is intended to evaluate the role of the citizens organizations in terms of their participation in the policy-making, formation of alternative scientist and engineer. The practices of the organizations are classified in three periods which corresponds to the process of social movement in Korea. It is further attempted to suggest the future role of those organizations.

As the animal rights movement has recently gained recognition as a social movement that represents one of society's minorities, it is now creating a new social and political perspective in the Korean society. This paper explores animal rights through their activism archives. The principles of community archives that can be applied to the animal rights movement are organized into four categories, and how the principles work according to the types of archives. Among these, the activism archive was selected, and the social meaning and issues of the animal archive were examined. We reviewed the issues of the activism archive in the case of KARA.
