In Pursuit of English: Language and Subjectivity in Neoliberal South Korea - Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics
Sung-Yul Park, Joseph (Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature, Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature, National University of Singapore)
Tracing how anxieties, insecurities, and moral desire about English instilled through South Korea's neoliberal transformation led to the country's heated pursuit of English in the 1990s and 2000s, this book presents subjectivity as a theoretical and analytical perspective for studying the intersection of language and political economy.
