한국여성운동의 집합행동 프레임 변화: 1970-1990년대 ‘한국여성의 전화’를 중심으로

Abstract

Framing theories have made a significant inroad into social movement literature; however, details on how collective action frames develop and change remains insufficient. This shortcoming comes from the tendency toward depreciating the structural conditions that facilitate and constrain a frame shift and limiting research to framing processes with a synchronic or short, temporal span. Since a frame is evolving, an integrative perspective is needed to investigate multiple structural conditions and identify their combined effects on a particular context in which a specific frame is appropriated and adapted. A case study of the efforts of Korean women’s movements to articulate and extend the gender frame suggests that three main conditions are needed for a frame change: (1) global influences, (2) state responses, and (3) interorganizational networks. Although not determinant, structural changes stimulate movement leaders to strive to modify extant frames to sustain or improve their mobilizing potency and policy effects.
