*I’m looking for a top expert who could write on the issue of (primarily) anti-communism and (secondly) anti-LGBT history in South Korea
I need a literature review on how Korean Protestant Christians were engaged in anti-communism for the latter half of the 20th Century after the Korean War and the anti-LGBT movement around after the 2000s. My theoretical intervention is that their historical enemy has changed from North Korea to the LGBT community. So basically, in this chapter, I’d like to give a brief background of how anti-North communism has been a central pillar of Korean Christians(Protestants)’ activism. As you move toward the end of your writing, you could later talk about how non-traditional SOGIs have emerged as a new threat in place of North Korea.
In terms of format, for the first 12-13 pages, you could describe the development of anti-communism and Korean Protestantism from the post-liberation period through the Korean War to the modern development of South Korea and give an account of how the religious characteristics of Founding Fathers (40% were Christians) and their status as a wartime escapee from North Korea for fear of religious persecution actually paved the way for the conservative-leaning of Korean Christians in general and their support of right-wing politicians (There might be other factors that might have shaped their conservative-leaning; e.g., their past history of collaborating with the Japanese imperialists, the US’s influence in shaping the future direction of South Korea against the expansion of Soviet Union, etc.- you have to refer to the attached files I included in order to articulate the historical development accurately).
But now, with the passing of time, North Korea is actually not perceived as the greatest threat as it was in the 1970s and 80s, and 90s. Rather, the LGBT groups replaced North Korea as the existential threat to the national identity of South Korea and Christian liberty (Again, it was North Korea who always was perceived by South Korean Christians to be ready to invade and destroy South Korea at any time). But now, it’s the LGBT community that is “discursively constructed” to pose an existential threat to the national security/Christian identity of contemporary South Korea (2-3 pages).
Again, for the first 12-13 pages, you could discuss the development of anti-communism in South Korea. For the last 2-3 pages, you could depict how LGBT groups have emerged as the new existential threat. But keep in mind the primary objective of this chapter is to “genealogically” trace back the role of anti-communism among Korean Christians in setting the direction for dealing with their traditional/new out-groups (in the past, North Korea, and now, the LGBT community).
FYI, I attached important articles in completing this task. Those marked with “[must be cited]” literally must be cited and you’re expected to give a doubly careful look at it with regard to its substance and contribution.
You could also refer to other sources if they’re available or if you think they fit better with the goal of this project.
