<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Nova",sans-serif">This presentation explores the sexual/gender hierarchy that prostitution policies constituted in the national community of postcolonial South Korea. It starts with an exegesis
of the reformatories designed for ‘prostitutes’ (yullak haengwija) and other ‘women deemed as needing of protection’ (yobohoy</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">ŏ</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Nova",sans-serif">ja) based on both
documents and interviews. While these reformatories for women were built specifically to protect, socially rehabilitate, and offer education and training to prostitutes, I argue that they were a space exemplary of the state of exception or heterotopia riddled
with violence and abuse. Simultaneously, these facilities were also zones that produced knowledge on prostitutes, alongside venereal disease clinics and designated red-light districts. In such arenas, women were held subject to the gaze of government surveillance
and experts from diverse disciplines from medicine to social science observed, surveyed, and examined prostitutes to demystify them and control their alleged threat. I elucidate how the state institution of knowledge on prostitution and prostitution policies
together contributed to the making of an idealized gender/sexual hierarchy in the nation, consisting of ‘prostitutes, ladies, and gentlemen’.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

and a Kluge Fellow at the John W. Kluge Center in the Library of Congress (2015-2016). As a historical sociologist, she has analyzed the historical transformations of state policies, citizenship, and social movements in South Korea from a feminist perspective.
Her publications include “Liberation or Purification? Prostitution, Women’s Movement and Nation Building in South Korea under U.S. Military Occupation, 1945-1948” (Sexualities, 2019, in English) and “From Blood to Culture? Family, Nationality, and the Gender
Politics of Membership” (Korean Journal of Sociology, 2020, in Korean). She has completed her book manuscript tentatively entitled The State’s Sexuality: Prostitution and Postcolonial Nation Building in South Korea, and this presentation is chapter 4 of the
