摘要：This article explores why people adopt different processes to participate in mass mobilizations,using the 2006 Anti-CPE (labor law) Movement in France and the 2008 Candlelight Movementagainst American Beef Imports in South Korea as case studies. In France, initiators andparticipants followed the ‘ready-made’ way: left-wing organizations led the whole process of massmobilizations. In contrast, in South Korea, initiators came from ‘nowhere’: they were middleand high school students without any political organizations; participants were ‘tainted’ by theleft wing political line. The key finding of this study is that the levels of demarcation of politicallines in people’s everyday life may explain this difference. In France, strong establishment of apolitical line in people’s everyday life brought fewer new actors, creating less surprise but a solidmobilization; in South Koreas, the less-established political line in people’s everyday life attractedmore new actors, creating more surprise but ‘frivolous’ mobilizations.
