SUMMARY:Jieun Kim (Leeds). Blood and Citizenship in a Fragmented Nation: 
 Logics of Gift\, Debt and Inheritance in South Korea

 p9-qziil4
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on archival materials and interviews with donors\, bl
 ood bank staff\, and experts\, this talk explores how the logics of gift
 \, debt and inheritance shape the moral and affective economies of citiz
 enship in South Korea. From hematologists’ reflections on introducing bl
 ood banking in the mid-twentieth century to the national crisis narrativ
 e around COVID-19 blood shortages\, I show how the figure of nation cons
 tantly transforms itself as it animates and is animated by South Korean 
 blood banking. Taking a closer look at the case of North Korean settler 
 blood donors in particular\, I argue how their ambiguous belonging opens
  up a fertile terrain through which relations of gift\, debt and inherit
 ance are renegotiated. Blood sharing conjures different collectives and 
 (un)common fates for actors whose belonging to the South Korean nation i
 s contested and renewed\, instantiating ‘mutations’ in nationhood and ci
 tizenship.
