But this is not the Seoul\u2013nor<br \/>\nthe Republic of Korea (hereafter Korea)&#8211;that most people inhabit. Over the<br \/>\nlast 50 years, urban life in South Korea has been transformed in many ways,<br \/>\nwith successive waves of state-sponsored gentrification that has culminated<br \/>\nwith \u201cNew Town\u201d developments of block upon block of orderly apartment complexes<br \/>\nwith mall-like commercial strips between them (Chen et al 2019; Song et al<br \/>\n2019). Here, Korea parallels (and anticipates) urban development elsewhere. <\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;; mso-highlight: white;\">However, this proposed project is not a<br \/>\ncritique of urban (re)development (<\/span><span lang=\"KO\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-highlight: white;\">\uc7ac\uac1c\ubc1c<\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;; mso-highlight: white;\">), but an inquiry about what remains. Here and<br \/>\nthere, amidst the gleaming office towers and high-rise apartments of Seoul and<br \/>\nother Korean cities, there are older neighborhoods with housing stock from<br \/>\nprevious decades\u2013small islands of the past. On the one hand, these represent<br \/>\nsurplus neighborhoods for later redevelopment schemes. On the other, older<br \/>\nneighborhoods evoke nostalgia for the past and for what people frequently<br \/>\ncharacterize as a less alienated time. \u201cMoon neighborhoods,\u201d so-called because<br \/>\nmany were constructed on squats in hills and mountains that were not thought<br \/>\nsuitable for apartment development, remind people of the struggle and<br \/>\ndetermination of past generations. What happens to these places in the<br \/>\ninterstices of ubiquitous housing blocks? <\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\">If we were doing this research in the United<br \/>\nStates, the answer would be clear enough: gentrification, abandonment and<br \/>\ndisplacement, the legacy of post-War urban development that may have moved into<br \/>\nmore hybrid strategies in a neoliberal age, but that still remains devastating<br \/>\nto people in working-class communities (Logan and Molotch 1987; Durington and<br \/>\nCollins 2019). In South Korean cities, however, \u201ctouristifcation\u201d may instead<br \/>\nbe the result. Rather than move into neighborhoods of older homes without access<br \/>\nto infrastructure and amenities, tourists visit instead to snap photos for<br \/>\nInstagram posts and to explore (Kim and Holifield 2022). In some cases, the<br \/>\nstate has facilitated this process by painting colorful murals on neighborhood<br \/>\nwalls\u2013literally enabling Instagram-able moments. The result is a digital<br \/>\ngentrification without the physical displacement of people (Hartmann and<br \/>\nJansson 2024). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\">My proposed research project is on the<br \/>\nway community identity is physically and digitally negotiated in older<br \/>\nneighborhoods that have become sites of state intervention, touristifcation and<br \/>\nnostalgia.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>My earlier work in Seoul<br \/>\nincluded places like Ihwa-dong and different neighborhoods along the old city<br \/>\nwalls (e.g., Bukjeong Maul). These have been the targets of urban regeneration,<br \/>\nmedia representation and tourist development (Nam and Lee 2023; Yun and Kwon<br \/>\n2023). Older housing stock, narrow alleys and colorful murals attract location<br \/>\nscouts for k-dramas and film, as well as busloads of domestic and international<br \/>\ntourists. But people live in these places as well, people who have little to<br \/>\nshow for the mediatization and fetishization of their communities. Yet it would<br \/>\nnot be accurate to conclude that they are powerless against the onslaught of<br \/>\ntouristification and hallyu media. For one, residents have occasionally risen<br \/>\nup against the commodification of their communities, as in the vandalism of<br \/>\nartistic murals in Ihwadong in 2016 (Oh 2020). In addition, as one of the most<br \/>\nwired nations on Earth, Koreans engage in social media productions across<br \/>\nmultiple platforms, and document their neighborhoods and their lives in ways<br \/>\nthat diverge significantly from the Instagram posts and hallyu tours. Finally,<br \/>\ncommunities host events, gallery shows, media broadcasts and other projects<br \/>\nthat constitute genuine place-making, and stake a claim not only to their<br \/>\nhomes, but additionally establish what their communities mean (Kim and Son<br \/>\n2017; Kang 2023). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\">My perspective on these negotiations is<br \/>\none of multimodality, a recent, anthropological turn I have explored through<br \/>\nnumerous articles and a recent, co-authored book (Collins and Durington 2024).<br \/>\nIn anthropology, multimodality recognizes the anthropological practice in<br \/>\nnon-anthropologists as they seek to document, represent their communities, and<br \/>\nintervene in the futures of those places. People are ultimately anthropologists<br \/>\nof their own lives, and I have helped to develop a methodology that integrates<br \/>\nthis insight into a more collaborative, and more de-centered work that<br \/>\nconsiders multiple, community-produced media alongside more \u201cofficial\u201d<br \/>\nanthropological analysis (Collins and Durington 2015; Collins and Durington<br \/>\n2024). Here, I propose looking to neighborhood identity as a collaborative,<br \/>\nnegotiated and occasionally fraught negotiation of meaning, place and identity.<br \/>\nMy insights have been very much informed by fieldwork &#8211; in South Korea and in<br \/>\nBaltimore. And it\u2019s these same insights that I propose to bring into the<br \/>\nclassroom in a series of methodologically focused, participatory courses that<br \/>\ntask students with documenting the anthropologies of their own communities.<br \/>\nWhat I hope to accomplish through this research and teaching will ultimately<br \/>\nwork towards an understanding of global processes in an age where the physical<br \/>\nand the digital occupy overlapping spheres in the lives of people and in the<br \/>\nfutures of communities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"><b><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\">Precursors<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;; mso-highlight: white;\">Years ago, I became interested in a general nostalgia for<br \/>\nthe narrow streets and claustrophobic spaces of older neighborhoods, including<br \/>\n\u201ctaldongne\u201d (<\/span><span lang=\"KO\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-highlight: white;\">\ub2ec\ub3d9\ub124<\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;; mso-highlight: white;\">)\u2014clusters of homes that<br \/>\noriginated as unofficial housing in the heavy urban migrations after the Korean<br \/>\nWar, and that are characterized by a lack of planning <\/span><span style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;; mso-highlight: white;\">and <\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;; mso-highlight: white;\">infrastructure.

The<br \/>\nend of the series finds the old neighborhood abandoned and slated for<br \/>\nre-development\u2013and end to a more simple time. Indeed, by the 1970s, many of the<br \/>\nresidents of older neighborhoods were being forcibly (and even violently)<br \/>\nevicted, and large-scale apartment developments put up in their place.

Predictably,<br \/>\nperhaps, the disappearance of these older, largely working-class neighborhoods<br \/>\nwas accompanied by a longing for community and an appreciation for these<br \/>\norganic, eclectic spaces, in dramatic contrast to the huge developments that<br \/>\nnow house the majority of people in Korea. <span style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-highlight: white;\">That<br \/>\nnostalgia extends across multiple media, from television and film to webtoons,<br \/>\ngames and apps\u2014and, of course, social media, where the search for selfies and<br \/>\nmore aesthetic photography sends millions of domestic and international<br \/>\ntourists to the few, extant working-class neighborhoods in search of the<br \/>\nperfect pictures for their Instagram accounts. In my 2014-2015 fieldwork, I<br \/>\nanalyzed numerous \u201calleyway\u201d social media accounts, and set off with local<br \/>\nphotography clubs (1 Korean, 1 Korean and non-Korean), taking pictures of<br \/>\nnarrow streets, rusted grates and broken latticework. Globally, the neighborhoods<br \/>\nare iconic, connoting \u201cKorea\u201d even as their existence fades from Korea\u2019s urban<br \/>\nfabric; it would be difficult to find a k-drama that didn\u2019t have some romantic<br \/>\nmoment set in one of these places. Yet the vast majority of Koreans have never<br \/>\nlived in them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-highlight: white;\">Nevertheless<br \/>\nsome neighborhoods still remain. My previous work in Seoul coincided with a<br \/>\nperiod of relative openness in the form of urban regeneration policies that<br \/>\nwere just beginning under the leadership of then-Mayor Park Won Soon (Nam and<br \/>\nLee 2023). Through government programs, non-profits and museum exhibitions,<br \/>\npeople in Seoul looked to these communities as something that deserved, at<br \/>\nleast, some measure of preservation\u2013in sharp distinction to the policies of<br \/>\nPark\u2019s predecessors that had accelerated the frenetic pace of urban<br \/>\nredevelopment. Along with this came calls for a more textured and genuine urban<br \/>\nlife where people might develop attachments to each other and to their neighborhoods<br \/>\n(Lee 2011). Along the way, new public spaces, sidewalks, and parks were all<br \/>\nconstructed to make Seoul a more livable city. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-highlight: white;\">Yet,<br \/>\npeople in older neighborhoods must still negotiate with the combination of<br \/>\ntouristification and gentrification that have encroached upon their lives.<br \/>\nTouristification in the form of busloads of people coming to neighborhoods that<br \/>\nwere once avoided by non-residents, and gentrification in the form of up-scale<br \/>\nteashops and bars that have grown up in \u201cedgy\u201d and \u201cartistic\u201d areas. There are<br \/>\na variety of means to resist these forces, but I became interested in the ways<br \/>\nthat residents have utilized diverse media in order to form<br \/>\ncounter-representations of life that contest the romantic commodification from<br \/>\ntourism and, to some extent, from the state. YouTube, film and podcasts are<br \/>\ngenerated alongside print magazines, gallery shows and other events in order to<br \/>\ngive voice to residents and to underline their placemaking. The irony here\u2014and<br \/>\nthere are many ironies\u2014is that, in their resistance, residents are<br \/>\ninstantiating the very community ethos over which people and media have waxed<br \/>\nnostalgic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"background: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Roboto; mso-highlight: white;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You\u2019ll see them in film, k-dramas, music videos, webtoons and video games: narrow Seoul alleys (\uace8\ubaa9\uae38), old restaurants with peeling wallpaper, protagonists drowning their sorrows in tent bars (\ud3ec\uc7a5\ub9c8\ucc28).
