코리언 디아스포라 문학의 ‘혼종성’과 초국가주의 - 남미의 코리언 이민문학을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to study post-boundary hybridity in the literature where the limits and hybridism in Korean diaspora become dissolved and reassembled. Especially, it is focused on post-central glocalization related to the identity of Korean immigrants and their society in Latin America. 'Tropical literature' and 'Los Andes literature' are well-known liberatory magazines in Korean community in Latin America. These magazines are the memories and history of Korean diaspora and they are the symbol of glocalization that has portrayed the distorted Korean modern history and has included the identity of people at the edge of the society in post-cold war era. 'Tropical literature' and 'Los Andes literature' have focused on the topics and visualized in literary methods as follows. (1) self-esteem of their community in Latin America, the national spirit, and the memories of their country and their will to go back home (2) cultural conflicts with the local people and the society, and Korean immigrants' efforts to co-exist and collaborate with them by communicating with foreign culture, (3) the establishment of the post-boundary spirit world, the issues related to going back to Korea and returning to Latin America, generational changes, education, international marriages, description of beautiful nature of Latin America, religious humanism, and so on. Furthermore, these magazines describe the immigrants and their society's boundary and limit, which would have changed in the situation with the issues of inside and outside, center and fringe, and idealism and reality, and adopted the approaches of Korean' typical errantry and returning spirit, realistic methods to it. In this way, immigrant's diaspora world of view and glocalization point of view, including boundary and Hybridity provide new social and cultural paradigm to Asian societies including Korea where homogeneity, nationalism, and self-centered world were more valued.
