韩民族族群流散的扩展:从民族到社会网络再到平台

The spread of Korean diasporas;from people to social network to platform

本文使用"流散"作为一个包括朝鲜族群移民并定居海外其他国家的历史经历的各个方面及解释这些方面的相互关系的概念。海外朝鲜族社区目前正经历被称为"增长模式终结"的过渡时期。一些在朝鲜族社区增长时期被认为重要的观念,比如适应、定居和民族认同,似乎变得不太重要了。随着新移民停止流入,第二代和第三代韩国移民逐渐融入主流社会,对他们来说,在移居国的通婚、多元文化家庭、多种族身份和主流化等问题,已经变得更加重要。随着移民人口停止增长、移民人口融入主流社会,海外的朝鲜族社群正在朝着一个崭新的方向发展。他们的主流化将削弱韩民族认同以及与母国的联系,而跨国主义则会反过来加强民族联系和团结。

This article uses diaspora as a concept to encompass multifarious facets of historical experiences of Korean people’s immigration to and settlement in foreign countries and to expound their correlations. Overseas Korean societies are currently undergoing a transition defined as the "end of a growth model".Concepts which were considered significant in the growing period of ethnic Korean societies,i.e. adaptation, settlement, and ethnic identity,seem less important. As the inflow of new immigrants is halted and second-and third-generations of Korean immigrants are gradually integrated into mainstream society,issues in the countries they reside such as those pertaining to intermarriage,multi-cultural families, multi-racial identity,and main streaming have become more important. Overseas Korean societies whose populations stop growing and whose members have entered into mainstream society evolve in a completely different direction. Their mainstreaming will weaken Korean ethnic identity and the networks with the home country, while transnationalism will strengthen ethnic ties and solidarity.
