영문 초록

Multi-cultural literature can be described as the 'diaspora literature' as the multi-cultural life is called 'Diaspora'. Diaspora was originally used as 'a positive meaning of migration and building of colony' after ancient Greeks had conquered, colonized Asia Minor expanding their power. In the latter half of 20th Century, Diaspora became to point out the people who left their own land for some reason and their experiences. Diaspora literature containing such a periodical distinction can work as a power to improve the reality with absurdity by communicating with the real world. This study deals with works focusing on Diaspora phenomenon within Korean peninsular. It is to examine Korean natives' view to Diaspora and immigrants' identity. The study aims at finding the inner problems existing in Korean society by endoscopic approach to multi-cultural identity. The result will be a philosophical value being able to pursue coexistent order and further to search for the way of groping the desirable multi-cultural identity passing through the whole society on the basis of communication and respect. The novel, 'a Wild rose' written by Jeong Do Sang emphasizes the fact that North Korean refugees and South Korean society use the same language in a same way. In addition, his novel values Korean foods represented by 'Zigge' and common feelings on the taste. His solution to the North Korean refugees can be possible only when there is a feeling of 'brothers' resulting in comfortable feelings of the North Korean refugees. This novel emphasize the need of the mythical consciousness by presenting the same cultural feelings. 'Namaste' written by Park Beom Sin shows the situation of foreign workers in Korea. World capitalism and the individual desire to search for the change of better life causes a rearrangement of a new international labor. It shows the real situation of worldwide diaspora by comparing the foreign workers in Korea with the Korean people in US. This novel suggests that the effort of the border riders as a minority has to be in a firm sociality rather than individual life. Cheon Un Young's novel, 'Good bye, Circus', is the first long story dealing with the immigrant female's identity. This novel expresses the coldness of the diaspora's life with a story of a Chinese Korean woman in a position of sales marriage giving up her own right for sexual self-determination. In this story, a woman is just regarded as a good in the market and becomes a victime of capitalism. Worldwide Diaspora is getting speedy, and the identity problem of race, nationality and ethnic groups are getting more serious. Identity is no longer attained naturally. Furthermore, diaspora makes a gap between the interpretation from individuals and that from groups. In order to keep a regime, there should be a definition of and an exclusion of unchastity, contamination, dirt and uncleanness. In the period of Diaspora of multi-culture, how Korean society define the related and unrelated person and make common basis? The Diaspora literature has a timely meaning which meet the serious request from such a reality.
