ABSTRACT

This article divides the Korean feminist movement from the 1960s to the present into three periods based on the 1991 ‘May Struggle’ and the 2016 ‘Gangnam Station Murder Case’, and looks at the trajectory of the theory and practice of the feminist movements developed in each period through the theory of the state, and examines their historical meanings and limitations. In particular, this article focuses on how the liberal(pluralistic) state theory as a dominant ideology exerted its influence inside and outside the movements regardless of whether the feminist movements developed in each period were recognized. Finally, this article reveals the theoretical and practical meanings of the ‘green purple red paradigm’, which the radical-transformative feminist movement proposed to break away from the ‘politics of identity’ at a time when the radical feminist movement with mass movement characteristics such as Womad, ‘the politics of identity’ itself, emerged and explores the reasons why the theory of the state that conforms to such a forward-looking proposal is poor and what is needed for its reconstruction.
