Abstract

The Korean diaspora in Argentina has evolved into a complex inter-ethnic and transnational discussion in Argentina. This research aims to explore the relations that each generation of the Korean diaspora has established with both Argentina and Korea in terms of constructing their national identity. Through the analysis of various cultural products about the Korean diaspora (los cor-gentinos) in Argentina, including 아르헨티나 코리안 문학 ì„ ì§‘(Selected Works of Argentinian-Korean Literature)(2013), Do U cry 4 me Argentina?(2005), La peonía y su sombra/함박꽃(2002), and ì ´ë¯¼(La inmigración)(1998), this work highlights the marginal position of Korean diaspora as Homo Sacer in Argentinian society as well as the corporal manifestation of their frustration and disillusion, which have been involved in the process of shaping their national identity. This study further argues that the emphasis on racial difference as well as the propagation of the image of ‘us’ vs. ‘others’, based on the concept of ‘myth of the White’ of Argentina have contributed in widening the gap between Korean diaspora and Argentinian society. | 90 pages
