The aim of this paper is to analyze the case of Indonesian immigrants’ boundary making process in Wongok-Dong which is the biggest foreign migrant residential space. Diaspora features can be defined as ‘homeland orientation’ and ‘hybridity’ in existing researches. However, these perspectives have limitations due to overstating the internal homogeneity within a diaspora community. Based on ethnographic research with a group of Indonesian immigrants which show social disjunctions, thus, this paper re-examines diaspora features. Using the concept of ethnicity, Indonesian disaspora made language, spatial and social segregations within the group by stressing their hometown, local language and cultural customs which are shared heritages during pre-migration periods. After migration, on the other hand, they strengthen national identity beyond local boundaries through sharing experiences such as ‘challenges’ and ‘opportunities’ in Korean society. This paper provides opportunities to re-examine existing diaspora concepts. Although the concepts of ‘homeland orientation’ and ‘hybridity’ are appeared within Indonesian diaspora group by maintaining and transcending their boundaries, the outcome contradicts the conclusion of other existing researches. Thus, this work contributes to yield new perspective for deep understanding about diaspora.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the case of Indonesian immigrants’ boundary making process in Wongok-Dong which is the biggest foreign migrant residential space. Diaspora features can be defined as ‘homeland orientation’ and ‘hybridity’ in existing researches. However, these perspectives have limitations due to overstating the internal homogeneity within a diaspora community. Based on ethnographic research with a group of Indonesian immigrants which show social disjunctions, thus, this paper re-examines diaspora features. Using the concept of ethnicity, Indonesian disaspora made language, spatial and social segregations within the group by stressing their hometown, local language and cultural customs which are shared heritages during pre-migration periods. After migration, on the other hand, they strengthen national identity beyond local boundaries through sharing experiences such as ‘challenges’ and ‘opportunities’ in Korean society. This paper provides opportunities to re-examine existing diaspora concepts. Although the concepts of ‘homeland orientation’ and ‘hybridity’ are appeared within Indonesian diaspora group by maintaining and transcending their boundaries, the outcome contradicts the conclusion of other existing researches. Thus, this work contributes to yield new perspective for deep understanding about diaspora.
