민간단체 풍선날리기와 분단 번역의 정치: 행위자-네트워크 이론을 중심으로

Abstract

The situation of division of Korea to north & south is continuing since 1948 including 6.25 War. Also the aspect of division is kind of life style to Korean today as it’s period of division. The overcome of the division is one of the purpose of North Korea Study. There are so many different ways to cure and get over division. But I would like to focus on analysis of problems caused of division to overcome division. This paper is a case study of NGO’s(The Federation of NK Democratization)ballon flying October 22nd in 2012 base on ANT(Actor-Network Theory). NGO’s balloon flying to the north is not a simple political issue but the most politicized means of psychological warfare. I would like to analyze this NGO’s balloon flying to confirm the reason that NK defector’s NGOs use balloon flying as the means of psychological warfare to the North Korea. Including the reason that South Korea government aware NGOs use balloon flying as serious security threat and why North Korea menaced fire to the place of balloon flying, Imgingak which is placed on northwestern part of South Korea. The Actor-Network Theory focus on human and nonhuman actor’s combination to analyze social phenomenon. Also I focus on human and nonhuman things like balloons, bills, wind, north korea defector’s organizations and South & North Korea government as actors to analyze NGO’s ballon flying. To confirm of actor’s network in NGO’s ballon flying, I analyze actor’s combination in phase. So we can see there are so many actor’s network combination in balloon flying. NGO’s balloon flying is a division of Korea’s hybrid. But After NGO’s balloon flying is functionalized as a security to the both of South and North Korea, there will be another hybrid result of NGO’s balloon flying.
