“I ask what kind of transformative politics is enacted when we name the deaths
of those considered unworthy of mourning and remembering.”

Prison Abolition and Korea?
November 5, 2021In the first episode of Hello Everyone Under Neoliberal Garbage, Heung Coalition members Kris, Alex Jung, Youngoh Jung and JH talk about ways to bridge the growing conversation around prison abolition with Heung's mission of redefining Korea(nness). We discuss ways that our individual engagement with Korea must account for calls for prison abolition in our local contexts. We end the podcast by discussing the ways embedded militarism and carceral thinking manifest in recent South Korean dramas.
