Abstract
This chapter introduces South Korean Internet-generated protests in the context of ongoing theoretical and critical debates about the significance of the Internet for politics. It specifically proposes paying attention to items that captivate young Internet users, which they then circulate without interpretation. The “politics of captivation” theorizes a new popular cultural dynamics on the Internet through which shared yet underarticulated public sentiments can be voiced via the circulation of texts, images, and sounds without translation into the language of established politics. The Internet should be understood not only as a tool for disseminating information or for mobilization but also as a social space with distinct communicative dynamics for expressing opinions, forging alliances, and making judgments without conforming to established political discourse of any stripe.
