Especially their history of protesting together in the same space shows a critical role of the \u2018space\u2019 in binding the self-employed who could be otherwise easily shattered. This study is to make visible the structurally precarious position of the self-employed in today\u2019s Korean society, especially in the midst of gentrification, and the history of their organized collective action against such precariousness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c41-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-917 size-large\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c41-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c41-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c41-768x577.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c41.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c42-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-918 size-large\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c42-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c42-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c42-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c43-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-919 size-large\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c43-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c43-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c43-768x577.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c43.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c44-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-920 size-large\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c44-1024x769.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c44-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c44-768x577.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/3_\ubcf8\ubb38\uc0ac\uc9c44.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colloquium in July 2019 Lee, Yewon Andrea (PhD Student, Department of Sociology at UCLA, U.S.) Based on ethnography and comparative history analysis, this study explores how the self-employed tenants in Seoul, South Korea have resisted their lessors in alliance with one another.\u00a0According to the research, it is their shared experience [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":916,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[68,67,69],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":925,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915\/revisions\/925"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inequality.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
