"Korean America was Born in 1992"
The constellation of public gatherings known as the 1992 Los Angeles Riots / Uprising included a massive multigenerational, multiracial rally in the city's Koreatown.

This article reads the rally through a performative lens as an instance of Asian American political thought in practice. It argues that the rally unified its diver…
Inverted founding
This article presents Minobe Tatsukichi’s emperor organ theory as a novel understanding of the temporality of founding. In contrast to a conventional framework of founding which legitimizes the constitution by postulating the pre-constitutional power of “the people,” emperor organ theory invents “the people” out of the Meiji Constitution as a democratically empowered subject to-come. In so doing, emperor organ theory calls upon the transformation…
Unspoken Insurgencies
This essay uses the 2014 protests in Thailand in which demonstrators silently brandished The Hunger Games’s three-fingered salute as a lens through which to analyze nonverbal communication in contentious politics.

While neither verbal nor nonverbal speech guarantees an exact translation …

We argue that such “mobility events” are shared physical practices that embody political deliberation. By challenging dominant regimes of power, they create public spheres “on the move”, concretely and conceptually. While these publics have emancipatory potential, this potential is ambivalent bec…
