Abstract
A regime of sensibility is a form of the ‘politics of sublimity’, which pursuessomething impossible to represent and beyond the infinite distance. This paperaims to distinguish and analyze the various political regimes of sensibilitywhich appeared throughout South Korean social movements from the 1970s to1987. There was also a regime of sensibility in the similar period, whichoperated by means of equating itself with a special object. We could call thatregime a ‘politics of representation.’ Legitimate political space, which appearedwith the June struggle in 1987, provided a new political field and an opportunityfor people to build a political regime of sensibility that could be named ‘politicsof representative.’ Lastly, the masses which appeared with various new aspectsafter 2002 were colligated with a new political regime of sensibility whichcould be named a ‘politics of expression.’ These various political sensibilitiestransformed into one another to build a hybrid system.
