The Right to Hospitality in a Migration Society

Yunho Seo | 2019, 56 | pp.65~86 | number of Cited : 5

PDF

In recent years, the effects of globalization have caused our society to rapidly change to a 'migration society'. There has been increasing interest in transnational migrants in our society with a focus on the issue of ‘hospitality’ and treating migrants as guests from the owner's point of view, as well as the question: how will our society accept them? The crux of the questions asked from this standpoint is as follows: how should we treat those who have emerged as others in our society? What form should the norm of hospitality take in the new immigrant society that lies before us? This question discusses the issue of hospitality to immigrants from the point of view of residents who have remained within their borders. However, this article raises different questions from the perspective of the de-bordered migrant society: Is it not possible to have ‘the right to hospitality’ that can be asserted from the point of view of migrants as ‘the right of others’? Can hospitality be treated as a strong assertion and as a full right to protect oneself, as opposed to an incomplete right based on other people's good will and ethics? How does the right of hospitality relate to ‘the right to membership’, which is a matter of the qualification of members in a society? These are the main topics to be addressed. First, this article deals with the issue of ‘membership’, which is closely related to the issue of hospitality. Second, it reviews how the ‘political membership’ issue, which has traditionally been dealt with in terms of nationality or citizenship, is currently undergoing a change in the migrant society based on the discussion of Benhabib and Walzer. Then, through a discussion of Kant's conditional hospitality and Derrida's unconditional hospitality, we will consider how to deal with the issue of 'hospitality' as a right and attempt to establish its meaning and limitations. Finally, we willl predict the possibility of the reconstruction of hospitality right in relation to the theory of recognition.

Corroborative investigation on the First photograph of Korea  - Mainly about the existing photographs of Korea shot in 1860s' -

The introduction and acceptance of photographs in East Asia largely progressed in three: a stage where the principle of photograph was known through literature; a stage where the entity and experience of photography was known through records maintained by foreigners, since photograph was invented in 1839; and the stage where photography was technically accepted by fellow countrymen. By the way, generally speaking, the first photograph of one country refers to the second stage, where photography is known through records. When the first photograph of a country exists as evidence of that country, it is called the first photograph that still exists.   The acceptance of photography in Korea did not simply originate with the introduction of photography through commercial trade with foreign countries or forced commercial agreements with Occidental imperialism. In Korea, photography was accepted through historic or unexpected cases. The first photograph of Korea is officially that of the Lee Ui-ik envoy group, taken in 1863. Such acceptance is later than that in China by more than 20 years, mainly because of Chosun's persecution of Catholicism and national isolation policy against foreign culture which was further enhanced following the Opium War in China.  Photographs of Korea shot and kept by foreigners in which Koreans were subject were recently found. Most of them were shot after 1860s'. Thus, the established theory is that no daguerreotype exists in the history of photography in Korea. However, such affirmation only remains as a record of the national isolation policy at the time. The first photograph of Korea may retroact to the time before 1860s'. Suggesting some hypotheses on this matter, the first possibility is the existence of photographs in which Chosun & Chosun people were shot from a Western vessel that arrived in Chosun for opening doors and trade. In particular, if a photograph had been taken by them to prepare a nautical chart, they may have still been kept in the archives of many museums of the Orient, military articles, maritime museums, map museums, and anthropological museums of Western countries. Meanwhile, the acceptance year of the first photograph in Korea can be further retroacted by studying the archive of photographs of Korean Catholicism, because the trace of historic ordeal of Korean Catholicism left in photographs may be found in unexpected private spaces instead of politic cases. Such photographs can be found through the passion and dedication of researchers as well as voluntary donations from overseas hoarders.

Comparison of the discourses on the national identities of Guatemala and Costa Rica in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries : focusing on the concept of race in Guatemalan Sociology: the social problem of the Indian, by M. A. Asturias and the main discourses of Costa Rican identity

The main purpose of this study is to compare the forms and meanings of the 'race concept' reflected in speeches on the national identities of Guatemala and Costa Rica during the time of the Liberal Reform (which spanned from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century). Guatemala, the cradle of the Mayan civilization, was known to be the country with the highest percentage of indigenous population (more than 60% of the total population) in all of Central America, while Costa Rica was already known at that time as a 'white race' country. Although there was a visible difference in the ethnic compositions of the two countries, they both showed a similar form of national identity based on the so-called 'bleaching of the nation’. Nevertheless, behind the similar external form of national identity that the intellectuals of both countries aimed to build, there were some significant differences stemming from the peculiarities of the historical-social development and the distinct characteristics of the racial composition of each population. This study attempts to compare and contrast the national identities of Guatemala and Costa Rica by analyzing the representative speeches of the time: in the case of Guatemala, with a focus on a thesis by Miguel Ángel Asturias and other discursive fragments of the 1920 Generation, while in the case of Costa Rica, with a focus on chronicles written by foreigners who visited the country from the mid-nineteenth century as well as the opinions of some intellectuals and politicians belonging to the Olympus Generation. Likewise, this study is supported by the results of academic studies that have already been carried out by researchers in international academic circles, particularly the works of Casaús Arzú, Steven Palmer, Iván Molina, and Carlos Sojo, among others, since the subject at hand – Central American national identity – is yet to receive widespread attention in Latin American studies in Korea. This work is thus expected to hold bibliographical value and serve as a reference for future studies by Korean academics.

Critical Discourse Analysis through Comparison of Political Discourses in Korean Society on the Conflicts between U.S. and China

CHOI TAE HOON | 2019, 56 | pp.413~444 | number of Cited : 3

Using critical discourse analysis, this study aims to examine the characteristics and functions of 1) political and media discourses produced by experts in the Korean society in the face of the conflicts between the U.S. and China, 2) the intertextuality between expert discourse and public opinion, and 3) the social practice of discourse that operates in relation to social structural problems. A number of YouTube channels, ‘Choi Kyung-young’s Economic Show: Jeon Byung-seo vs. Kwak Soo-jong’, and ‘Kim Mi-kyung TV: Choi Byung-il vs. Lee Sung-hyun’ are selected to examine the utterances of the experts within as well as the comments of the viewers for qualitative analysis. The results show that first, Jeon Byung-seo vs. Kwak Soo-jong’s respective pro-Chinese and pro-American tendencies are characterized by a contrasting argumentative debate structure, while Choi Byung-il vs. Lee Sung-hyun’s were considered to be a collaborative problem-solution discussion structure. In the first channel, the ambiguous pro-China stance of Jeon Byung-seo using indirect speech methods was contrasted with the resolute pro-U.S. stance of Kwak Soo-jong using direct method speech methods. By contrast, in the discussion between Choi Byung-il and Lee Sung-hyun, both participants agree on most of the issues relating to questions like 'What is the nature of the U.S.-China conflict? What is Huawei? Is it valid to maintain the contemporary diplomatic strategy: Korean security relies on the U.S. whereas its economy depends on China? What is the identity of the Republic of Korea?' and so forth. They both adopt an open problem-solving method that reserves their ideological stances and encourages listeners to judge and choose between the “pro-American” or “pro-Chinese” position themselves. Second, the results of the analysis of the ‘Choi Kyung-young’s Economic Show’ on the intertextuality between the experts’ discourse and the viewers’ public opinion were based on personality reviews of the panelists, which mostly consisted of praise for Jeon Byung-seo and criticism for Kwak Soo-jong. This was interpreted as an indirect expression of the listener's ‘pro-Chinese’ tendencies through character reviews. Conversely, the results of the ‘Kim Mi-kyung TV’ comment analysis showed a clear ideological orientation that was “pro-U.S. & anti-China” as well as fear and antipathy toward the “Chinese Communist Party.” Interestingly, there were no “pro-China” comments. Third, the link between social structure and discourse was described with a focus on the changes in American national strategy and the all-around measures for China announced by U.S. Vice President Pence in his Hudson speech. The following three points were explained: 1) the declaration of the New Cold War regime by the U.S., 2) the establishment of the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD): China, and 3) details on the clash of civilizations. Then, the points of China's counterargument were explained. Furthermore, it is discussed that Korea has faced a situation similar to a proxy war between the U.S. and China because it has been forced to select one country between the two. Ultimately, this research explored the implications of the current construction and reconstruction of the “pro-U.S.” or “anti-China” ideologies.
