영화로 재현된 디아스포라 연구 - <로니를 찾아서>와 <반두비>를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study is on the diaspora shown in movies. Diaspora, crossing the border with different reasons, is becoming a stereotype of nomad in the 21st century. The attention to them is getting stronger with the terms of globalization and multiculturalism. Thus, in this study I analyzed the perspective towards a diaspora and the matter of difference focused on Where Is Ronny and Bandhobi. Where Is Ronny and Bandhobi are the movies dealing with conflict and communication between Koreans and the diaspora from Bangladesh. The hostility from the prejudice towards the colored diaspora leads to discovery that they are the same 'human beings' like Koreans and turns into the possibility of communication in the end. The following is the changing process of the perception of the diaspora in order to search the possibility of true confluent relationship. The diaspora in the two movies are described as strange and dangerous intruders. The diaspora of Koreans' perception was expressed as the following four types. It is the reason why Koreans recognize them as strange and dangerous intruders. First, a diaspora is an unwelcome visitor and alien who threatens Koreans' peace and order. Second, the diaspora is the one who is likely to be a criminal or the one who could commit a crime. Third, the diaspora is symbolized as a subaltern. Lastly, the diaspora is symbolized as the existence that operates Orientalism. Viewing the diaspora as unfamiliar dangerous intruders could result in exclusion and separation by forcing the difference. Not an open difference unclosed to diversity and pluralism but the difference of autism, forcing a dichotomous way of thinking on the pretext of difference and fostering homogenization on the plea of structure, should be overcome. In the two movies people overcome the conflict of discriminatory perspectives, find 'human beings' in the diaspora and finally succeed in making confluent relationship of friendship. In this point of view, those two movies suggested a new prospect towards the diaspora. At last, Where Is Ronny and Bandhobi are the movies that warn the discriminatory difference by overcoming orientalism and discussion of the other based on race, color and nationality and searches mutualism.
