초록

Since the establishment of North Korea, the nation-as-family metaphor has been noticeably available in lots of policy discourse. The policy makers have used the metaphor in order to build a nation in the image of house, and organize the people in the image of family. A contention is presented that the leaders of North Korea have used the metaphor for the national integration, economic development, and stability of political system, causing patriarchism at home and reclusiveness abroad. But a series of economic depression made the people realize that the family metaphor as a prototype of the state had severe limitation in managing the complicated and harsh reality like food shortage and energy depletion. The people tend to depend on the second economy to survive such a harsh situation. It means the diminished role of state. The Confucianist patriarchism has been reinforced by the harsh situation surrounding North Korean system. The leaders would respond with dual personality of macho-mask and hermetic attitude. Thus they have looked in various images like a hero and a rogue, as available from the attitude of the North Korean leaders. The harsher the situations are, the tougher the macho-mask of the leader appears. This article suggests that the family metaphor has been relevant to the inter-Korean relationship.

Abstract

Since the establishment of North Korea, the nation-as-family metaphor has been noticeably available in lots of policy discourse. The policy makers have used the metaphor in order to build a nation in the image of house, and organize the people in the image of family. A contention is presented that the leaders of North Korea have used the metaphor for the national integration, economic development, and stability of political system, causing patriarchism at home and reclusiveness abroad. But a series of economic depression made the people realize that the family metaphor as a prototype of the state had severe limitation in managing the complicated and harsh reality like food shortage and energy depletion. The people tend to depend on the second economy to survive such a harsh situation. It means the diminished role of state. The Confucianist patriarchism has been reinforced by the harsh situation surrounding North Korean system. The leaders would respond with dual personality of macho-mask and hermetic attitude. Thus they have looked in various images like a hero and a rogue, as available from the attitude of the North Korean leaders. The harsher the situations are, the tougher the macho-mask of the leader appears. This article suggests that the family metaphor has been relevant to the inter-Korean relationship.
