AB - The study aims to investigate and analyze the meaning of the Namyeong ferry disaster occurred in December 1970 from the perspective of 'Cultural trauma'. Cultural trauma here means change in collective identity and memory following a shocking accident as defined by Jeffrey C. Alexander. The Namyeong ferry disaster, called the worst marine accident ever in the country's history, set a variety of precedents related to post-disaster management for the first time. Furthermore, the families of those buried in a watery grave themselves played the key role in the investigation of the disaster. However, the politics addressed the disaster with the accident-compensation frame, as in similar accidents before. Moreover, it was affected by the social circumstances of military dictatorship, and lack of democracy and human rights consciousness. As a result, it failed to widely create political mourning which might have brought social change, aborting the change in collective identity. Such failure has profound connectedness with similar large-scale catastrophic disasters repeatedly occurring, as well as oblivion of the Namyeong ferry accident.
