한-중 문화갈등의 발생 양상 연구

Abstract

In the 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties between Korea and China, various cases of cultural conflict have occurred. The cultural conflict between Korea and China has gone through a honeymoon period(1992~2002), an intermittent period(2002~2016), a cooling period (2016~2020), and reached the frequent period(2020~present). The Northeast Project(2002) and The Administrative Order that Bans Korean Culture(2016) are two inflection points that constitute the cultural conflicts. The cultural conflicts between Korea and China arise centered on the issues of history and national culture as the governments of both countries and the private sector function as the cause-providers. Recently, pop culture contents themselves are acting as the epicenter of conflict. These cultural conflicts tend to be reinforced by various causes such as nationalist ideology and international relations. Therefore, the approaches also need to be carried out at the level of historical, structural, economic, international relations, and cultural contents. It is true that there are some ‘positive’ signals despite cultural conflicts, but institutional, international, educational, social and diplomatic efforts are needed to create a healthy Korea-China relationship while managing them effectively.
