演講說明
How do communities shaped by structural harms address their social wounds and become political subjects? How is a queer politics of the wounded possible beyond the logics of agony and resentment? This article introduces the concept of reparation work to answer these questions in the context of LGBTQ+ student activism in contemporary South Korea. Drawing from feminist, queer, and decolonial scholarship, it explores how institutionalized homophobia not only wounds queer youth but also enables them to become political subjects. The article examines how queer students transform their wounds into sites of reparation, building reparative communities and envisioning reparative futures through everyday acts like band-aid campaigns and more organized efforts to challenge heteronormative campus politics. Through reparation work, queer youth activists confront their pasts, challenge structures of wounding, and envision livable futures. This article presents reparation work as a lens for broader justice struggles and queer youth politics within and beyond Asia.
社會如何在結構性傷害下回應其社會創傷，並成為政治行動的主體？一種超越痛苦與怨懟邏輯的「受傷者酷兒政治」又如何可能？本文提出「修復工作」（reparation work）的概念，以回答這些問題，並將研究置於當代南韓 LGBTQ+ 學生運動的脈絡中。借鑑女性主義、酷兒與去殖民研究，本文探討制度化的恐同如何不僅傷害了酷兒青年，同時也使他們得以成為政治主體。本文檢視酷兒學生如何將自身的創傷轉化為修復的場域，透過日常行動（例如 OK 繃行動）以及更有組織的努力來挑戰異性戀常規的校園政治，從而建構修復性的社群並想像修復性的未來。透過修復工作，酷兒青年行動者得以直面過往、挑戰製造傷害的結構，並描繪可欲的未來。本文提出修復工作，作為理解更廣泛的正義鬥爭與酷兒青年政治（無論在亞洲或更廣的脈絡）的理論視角。
