South Korea\u2019s highly praised handling of COVID-19 raises the question of how far digital technology can infiltrate everyday life for the sake of public safety and how citizens can negotiate the rapid digital transformation of a nation state. The South Korean government\u2019s digital measures during the pandemic involved the extensive use of personal data; however, citizens were not allowed sufficient participation in the flow of information. By critically examining the South Korean case, this article reveals that the government coped with the pandemic through digital surveillance as a way to avoid physical lockdown, and in so doing, projected its desire for transition to a digitally advanced state while facilitating nationalism through a digital utopian discourse.","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"Attribution 4.0 International","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights.uri","value":"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"COVID-19","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"South Korea","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Digital technology","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Digital surveillance","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Digital utopianism","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Information rights","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"3Ts (test, trace and treat)","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"K-bangyeok (K-quarantine)","language":null},{"key":"dc.title","value":"Digital dilemmas in the (post-)pandemic state : Surveillance and information rights in South Korea","language":null},{"key":"dc.type","value":"Text","language":null},{"key":"dc.type.text","value":"Article","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.affiliation","value":"Creative and Critical Studies, Faculty of (Okanagan)","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.reviewstatus","value":"Reviewed","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.notes","value":"Open access funding provided by the UBC Open Access Fund for Humanities and Social Sciences Research.","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.scholarlevel","value":"Faculty","language":null}]
