Do You Feel Free Now? Korean Women inan Online Adult Community

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explores the dynamic tensions of power in the emergence of new sexual discourses by examining a Korean online adult community. The Korean Internet culture illustrates considerable change concerning the discursive formation of sexuality. Many women participate in the discourse of sexuality through active participation in adult on-line communities. Given that women’s social status in Korea has been prescribed by its patriarchal standards, and because of these circumstances, sexual discourse has been the exclusive social privilege of men, the emergence of a new sexual discourse deserves attention.
