This paper explores the cross-disciplinary, continous,and important roles of crisis and failure in modern South Korea. In particular, it explores the highly contested phase just before the completion of the state-led Saemangeum national development project at the end of Dae-Jung Kim's presidential term (1998-2003), and the activist mobilizations and legal battles to "Save our Saemangeum (SOs)" ending in 2006. In addition, this paper ethnographically examines one civil leader's failed effort-a project he called Green Life Theory and then Greenism-to respond not only to Saemangeum, but also to the larger theoretical demand foir an alternative to neoliberal capitalism. Ultimately, this paper argues that 1) the Saemangeum reclamation be understood as a post-authoritarian, democratic hope for cashing in and social redemption (Peterson 2009); 2) that the Green life Theory Project is an attempt to "orchestrate time" (Cho 2015; 3) that both Saemangeum and the green Life Theory projects illuminate a key difference between activists and academics in terms of endpoints (Miyazaki and Riles 2005);and 4) that both projects fail on disciplinary metrics in trying to acheive interdisciplinarity (e.g. Jean Klein and Riles 2005; Riles 2000; Strathern 2004).
