(남북 및) 남남 갈등의 또 하나의 진원지로서 탈북자 집단: 조작적 대상으로서 탈북자 집단을 바라보는 정치 공학적 시선과 관련하여

Abstract

In this article, I intend to investigate critically the main causes for North Korean Defectors to emerge as ‘another new source’ to expand and reproduce South-South conflicts still more everywhere and in various dimensions of Korean society, from the point of view of ‘practical philosophy.’ And on the basis of temporary results of that study, I try to seek the ‘philosophical’ solutions and alternatives to such problems. In the first place, through such investigation, I attempt to disclose critically the fact that North Korean Defectors are utilized effectively as the political and ideological objects of manipulation by specific conservative ruling powers and ideological groups in Korean society, in the course of making use of the tactics of ‘intentional’ social conflicts induction as a part of the strategics for governance to fortify the ground of vulnerable sovereign power. Especially I make considerable efforts to reveal critically that the collective practical behavior ‘involved in current political authority’ of some organizations of North Korean Defectors are have to do with closely the strategics of governance of present ruling clique in Korean society to solidify ruling power by gathering the force of supporters for the current regime which professes ostensibly ‘National Cohesion’ but in reality attempt to embrace only the support group on the present regime after dividing by support group and critical group through ‘two-nation policy.’ In the second place, from the practical philosophical point of view, I tries to seek practical measure to interrupt and overcome the state of affairs that social conflicts deepens and spreads more increasingly due to participatory practical behavior ‘related to actual ruling powers’ of some organizations of North Korean Defectors in Korean society. It is as in the following: That is to say, we all the members of Korean society should participate in the various public spheres in the capacity of awakened citizen and form critical public opinion about the nature of present social conflicts situation, and then construct the powerful communicative power on the basis of such pubic opinion. And subsequently we should put sturdy political pressure which is founded upon that democratic power on the present regime to give up the conflicts-promoting and divisive strategics of governance. In a so-called democratized Korean social situations, only by doing so, we all are able to exert meaningful influence realistically on our current conservative government to retreat political technological tactics devoid of normative justification, to abandon the distorted view and attempt to regard and utilize North Korean defectors as ideological means.
