AB - Much like how the name of Korean “anti-nuclear movements” was changed to "post-nuclear movements" after the Fukushima nuclear power disaster, the contents and methods of the movements as well as the participating groups have been changing. How were such changes possible? How far have Korean post-nuclear movements progressed? Do these changes have the ability to influence Korean society? This paper explores changes occurring in Korean post-nuclear movements through the theoretical frameworks of “emancipatory catastrophism,” “organized irresponsibility” and “metamorphosis” towards “energy citizens.” The main groups of Korean post-nuclear movements have been diversified beyond the boundaries of environmental activist organizations and local residents around nuclear facilities. Furthermore, the contents and methods of the movements, unlike in the past, have overcome the objections regarding the locations of specific facilities and have gone past the explosive patterns of demonstrations and resistance. Instead, movements have progressed in the daily lives of the people by responding with suggestions for energy alternatives. Nevertheless, post-nuclear movements have not been able to become dominant flow in Korean society. This is because various institutions supporting a nuclear power-dependent energy system work as barriers against the growth of energy alternatives and thus prevent the growth of citizens building energy citizenships. Korean post-nuclear movements continue to be tasked with simultaneously solving these two challenges.
