ABSTRACT

This article criticizes the coloniality of Western environmentalism and proposes the category of ‘Korean-style decolonial culture’ as a subjective problem-raising for overcoming the climate crisis. Here, considering the special characteristics of Korea, which has experienced colonial rule and succeeded to a certain extent in Western-style modernization, we will explain how Korean-style decolonial culture aims for decolonial ecologism by relying on concepts such as pluriversality and diversity. In particular, by tracing the logic of Donghak, we will suggest the possibility of a pluriversal ecological culture that overcomes Western-centered modern and colonial violence.
