Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pittsburgh, 1998.

This dissertation studies peasant resistance in a Korean village, Dochung, North Cholla province, in order to measure the influence of three variables on peasant political behavior: the state, economic conditions, and peasant cultural autonomy. The objectives of the study are to explore the economic and political influence of state agricultural policies on the peasantry, examine how peasants both produce and maintain a counter-hegemony, and investigate the transformation of patterns of resistance.

520 $a This dissertation studies peasant resistance in a Korean village, Dochung, North Cholla province, in order to measure the influence of three variables on peasant political behavior: the state, economic conditions, and peasant cultural autonomy. The objectives of the study are to explore the economic and political influence of state agricultural policies on the peasantry, examine how peasants both produce and maintain a counter-hegemony, and investigate the transformation of patterns of resistance.
520 $a As a result of Japanese colonialism, land reform, and the Korean war, the strong state became itself an economic force which encouraged capital accumulation on the part of the peasantry. On the other hand, its authoritarian nature also gave rise to and subsequently influenced the development of peasant movements and patterns of resistance. The unusual collective resistance to the state by the village members of the Catholic Farmers Union (CFU), as exemplified by the Nonghyup incident (1980) and the "Cattle-fight" (1985) showed that the state's vulnerability and the role of "intellectuals" in the leadership and organization of peasants were two important reasons accounting for more violent resistance in Korea in the 1980s. However, the absence of collective violent resistance was not merely due to the state's vulnerability. The village CFU members' shift to organic farming and their withdrawal from political struggles in the 1990s was also contingent on reinterpreting and redefining the dominant ideology and their role in social movements, and their construction of new subjective identities.
520 $a Globalization (e.g., the World Trade Organization) and the government's New Agricultural Policies (1994) intensified an already existing differentiation of the peasantry in Dochung along both economic and cultural lines. Furthermore, under globalization, resistance among organic farmers gradually gave way to collaboration. However, other peasants continued to express their opinions and redefine their identities through recent demonstrations against globalization. The change in national political circumstances and globalization has provided the former peasant movement with new goal, and as a result collaboration now prevails over collective resistance. However, collaboration and resistance are not mutually exclusive but complementary, and their efficiency is continuously evaluated by peasants having complex and ambiguous subjectivities.
