ABSTRACT

The promotion of modernization through industrialization has led to the acceleration of spatial compression, driven by "globalization". Even in the pandemic situation where "feedback" to this is required, spatial compression has instead accelerated and become more refined. This fact demonstrates the necessity for a philosophical examination of movement and place. This boils down to the problem of 'post-modern refugee' migration and the consequent loss of the placeness of the ethnic enclave and the realistic need to find solutions. This is because the ethnic enclave serves as incubators for migrants and intercultural portals for former occupants, having the placeness as a practice site for cultural hybridity. While tracking the mobility of the densely populated areas of Korean-Chinese in Seoul and Korean-Japanese in Osaka, Japan, this study examined the aspect of representation philosophically as a cultural practice. Even though Korean-Chinese in Seoul and Korean-Japanese in Osaka share a strong transnational character, they differ in terms of the timing of industrialization, with one being in the early stage and the other in the later stage. Paying attention to this point, this study analyzed the changes in migrant concentrations in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, which have a strong transnational character, and compared their characteristics. Migrants are the subject of practice that transforms the space considered by modern geography as "a world of inactivity and measurement" into a relative space. The movement of overseas Koreans is the action of practice that transcends the boundaries set by the modern people / nation-state order. And during the process of changing their types of movement, the ethnic enclave underwent changes in placeness.
