초록

This study aims to explore how Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism enhances our understanding of research related to young ethnic minority children’s emerging awareness of hybrid identity. According to Bakhtin, in the circulation of dialogue, the process of becoming the self emerges through selective assimilation and appropriation of others’ words, that is, “ideological becoming.” In this process, a child is not merely a passive receiver of others’ words but an active agent who makes her/his own choices by resisting or selectively assimilating existing discourses. Drawing on Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, this study demonstrates how a group of six-year-old girls living under the influence of two cultures—the US and South Korea—perceive themselves through negotiations in dialogue with peers related to the emergence of ethnic, cultural, and national identity. The findings indicate that young minority children’s emerging awareness of hybrid identity is centered around three poles—family relationships, location, and language—that are complexly interconnected. Finally, this study presents suggestions for early childhood teaching and research in the era of global transmigration.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism enhances our understanding of research related to young ethnic minority children’s emerging awareness of hybrid identity. According to Bakhtin, in the circulation of dialogue, the process of becoming the self emerges through selective assimilation and appropriation of others’ words, that is, “ideological becoming.” In this process, a child is not merely a passive receiver of others’ words but an active agent who makes her/his own choices by resisting or selectively assimilating existing discourses. Drawing on Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, this study demonstrates how a group of six-year-old girls living under the influence of two cultures—the US and South Korea—perceive themselves through negotiations in dialogue with peers related to the emergence of ethnic, cultural, and national identity. The findings indicate that young minority children’s emerging awareness of hybrid identity is centered around three poles—family relationships, location, and language—that are complexly interconnected. Finally, this study presents suggestions for early childhood teaching and research in the era of global transmigration.
