离散语境下韩国华人的身份认同— 以『韩华』月刊为中心

Abstract

The term “Lisanzhe离散者” is from Greek word ‘Diaspora', and in the first place the meaning was for Jewish who are spread in the worldwide. Nowadays, however, the meaning of diaspora has expanded and it implicates the group of people who are leaving their own country just to look for their happiness or seek far better lives. This group of people, if they return home, might not have their original home anymore and the place where they reside at the present time is not a final destination but a temporal habitation. Chinese-Korean Diaspora is one of this. In the period from the midst of the 20th century until the end of the century,there born the second and third-generation of the immigrated Chinese-Korean, the newborns from immigrants officially get to receive education under Korean society. Within this period, after accomplished stabilization of livelihood, increased Chinese language ability and knowledge, Chinese-Korean diasporas' cultural and literal activities showed a sudden development compared to their past. During the period, monthly literature magazine Hanhwa(韩华)started to be published to reach an understanding of Chinese-Korean diaspora's literature conditions and also to reflect their current lives from various angles. And what is more important is that the first edition of this magazine is right before the establishment of diplomatic relationship between Korea and China, Korea-China amity would somewhat influence their society and along with that they had to deliberate and face the changes. To sum up, this monthly published magazine helps to get important research data how to get to understand the Chinese-Korean diasporas' identity. Both the sense of alienation and loss are eternal issues seen in diaspora literature, and which have also seen everywhere in the Chinese-Korean literature by Chinese diaspora. Since Chinese-Korean diaspora have been through unconscious changes by “collective catharsis” so that the distance of perceptive image of “home” has already gone very far and is illusive. Chinese-Korean diaspora living in Korea meet with the thoughts of “the others”, and unfriendliness and indifference from Korean society made them feel excluded. It is to make contrast, and which way these people make ascent of social status to compare with others to investigate their existence. Chinese-Korean diasporas' self-identity has a both the multilayered perspectives and multilayered negation at the same time.
