  • Non-discrete care: Dialectical–relational CDA and the platformization of healthcare in Egypt

    Open AccessRania Fawzy, Jae-Mahn Shim et al.ARTICLECritical Discourse Studies2026

    This article examines Vezeeta, a leading Egyptian medical aggregator app, as a platformized site in which healthcare is reorganised through neoliberal discourse and interface governance. Drawing on Chouliaraki and Fairclough's dialectical-relational (DR) approach to critical discourse analysis, the study foregrounds the principle of non-discreteness, treating discourse as different from – yet inseparable from – material practice and institutional…

  • Work-Leisure Practices among Young Adults in Korea: An Action Theory of Calling in Work

    Heijin Oh, Jae-Mahn ShimARTICLEKorean Journal of Sociology2022

    일과 여가의 실천방식이 다양하다. 두 영역이 연관되어 있으므로 한 영역에서의 실천이 나머지 영역은 물론 둘의 교차로 이뤄지는 실천의 다양한 분기에 영향을 준다. 이에 이 연구는 일과 여가가 서로 구별되면서 동시에 서로 통합되는 것으로 이해하는 행위이론적 개념화를 통해 일-여가 실천의 다양성을 설명한다. 먼저, 자아와 세계의 연결을 강조하는 행위이론 관점에서 일·직업 실천을 소명(calling)의 실천 중 하나로 보고 개인이 직업에서 자아(개인 소명감) 및 세상 · 사회(사회 소명감)를 구성해가는 과정(직업 소명감)으로 개념화한다. 다음으로 행위이론의 관계론적 시각에서 일-여가 실천의 다양성을 주요한 세 형태로 개념화한다(일 중심 미분화, 자기개발 분화, 여가 분화). 직업 소명감이 어떻게 개인소명감과 사회 소명감으로 구체화하는지가 일-여가 실천의 다양한 양상과 유의미한 관계를 맺는다고 이론화한다…

  • Confucian Identification, Ancestral Beliefs, and Ancestral Rituals in Korea

    Open AccessJibum Kim, Jae-Mahn Shim et al.ARTICLEReligions2022References: 23

    Since Koreans do not consider Confucianism to be part of religion, conventional religious identification questions cannot accurately capture the number of Confucians in Korea. Using the Korean General Social Survey and other data sources, we aim to describe the identification, beliefs, and practices related to Confucianism, especially ancestral rituals, and to examine whether these beliefs and practices differ across religious groups. Contrasted …

  • Patient Agency: Manifestations of Individual Agency Among People With Health Problems

  • Religiosity and Individual Agency: Denominational Affiliation, Religious Action, and Sense of Control (SOC) in Life

    Open AccessJae-Mahn ShimARTICLEReligions2021References: 56

    By reporting findings from Wave 6 of the World Values Survey, this paper presents a renewed understanding of the relationship between religiosity and individual agency that is defined as sense of control (SOC) in life. In doing so, it proposes two conceptual articulations of religiosity. First, it articulates religiosity to be composed of categorical (i.e., denominational affiliation) and substantive (i.e., religious action) aspects. Second, it a…

    Jae-Mahn Shim, Eunjung Shin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2020References: 51

    Drawing on literature on world society and polity, we investigate the factors that drive the formation of global biodiversity governance. Using an event history analysis, we examine local and trans-local factors that influence how long it takes for countries to ratify the United Nation Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Three factors are positively correlated with CBD ratification rates: local environmentalism, the local orientation toward…

  • Institutional heterogeneity in globalization: Co-development of western-allopathic medicine and traditional-alternative medicine

First, it is found that the global scene of medical institutio…

  • The Limit of Equality Projects: Public-Sector Expansion, Sectoral Conflicts, and Income Inequality in Postindustrial Economies

    Open AccessCheol-Sung Lee, Young-Bum Kim et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review2011Cited by: 19References: 70

    In this study, we investigate how structural economic changes constrain an equality project, the public-sector expansion strategy. First, we describe a three-stage process in which a growing productivity gap between the private-manufacturing and public-service sectors disrupts traditional class solidarity. We contend that emerging conflicts between private and public sectors due to public-sector expansion and a growing inter-sectoral productivity…
