Abstract: »This paper investigates the Seoul War and Women’s Human Rights Museum as a heterotopian memorial space that bridges 1940s comfort-women atrocities and contemporary urban life. Drawing on Foucault’s heterotopia alongside reception theory, aesthetic-threshold concepts, and network mobilization theory, it examines how embedded spatial design and multimodal media transform visitors from passive observers into empathic witnesses and social actors. The study further traces how onsite commitments propagate via online-offline synergies into sustained action networks. Findings demonstrate a practical paradigm for small-scale memorial institutions to integrate memory preservation with community engagement and extend heterotopia theory to urban commemorative contexts.« (Source: KISS)
