ABSTRACT

This paper treats the cases of sacrifice, oppression, and negligence of Korean people in modern period and current times. It describes violence of national power and experience of our neighborhood for about one hundred years. I suppose the names of those people who are/were suffering from death, pain, and forgetting. I name the people who had got to live in the exercises area of shooting and bombing for US Air Force as ‘Homo Kooni’, the people who are observed by Jongno Fire Department as ‘Homo Red Alley’, the people working hard for an export industry who are beloved by the young suicide as ‘Homo Peace Market’, the people who are divided into Korean north village and Japanese south village at the colonial harbor as ‘Homo Dual City’, the people who become the victims of obedience in the lower cabin of the ship as ‘Homo Discipline’, the people who are killing by Korean military in Jeju island during 6 and half years as ‘Homo Third April(Sa Sam; 4.3)’. Naming is helpful for thinking deeply, widely, and differently. Human history remembers the name of leaders in the French revolution as ‘Sans Culotte’(without Culotte; the third class man). We have to find our proper name. Who are ‘we’?
