남북 스포츠교류의 새로운 패러다임 탐색: 통일스포츠를 향한 빅퀘스천

Abstract

This study aims to explore a new paradigm of inter-Korean sports exchange, which is a major model for national efforts toward unification in the reality where the 70-year history of division between the two Koreas is becoming fixed. Concentrating on the temporality of inter-Korean sports exchanges in the past, present, and future, we asked epistemological questions about obstacles, new perspectives, and unification sports. In the meantime, inter-Korean sports exchanges tend to have relatively insufficient practical models compared to the historicity of inter-Korean sports exchanges over the past 60 years due to inherent limitations such as security issues, ideological issues, and issues of initiative and continuity of exchange subjects. To overcome these obstacles, it is necessary to shift people's perception towards recognizing the social reality that emphasizes fairness as the essence of sports, moving away from past ideologies. Along with this, a new perspective to systematically establish the sustainability of inter-Korean sports exchange, diversification strategy of programs, and independence should be accompanied. Inter-Korean sports exchanges require a new paradigm shift to unification sports that actively converge the value, purpose, and meaning of peaceful unification. Peace on the Korean Peninsula is the ultimate national task. The peaceful ontology of the Korean Peninsula can be approached in various ways. In particular, the epistemological approach toward unification sports as a new paradigm of inter-Korean sports exchange from the perspective of sports culture change can be said to be a request of the times and a national task.
