ABSTRACT

The diaspora of East-Sea Rim has been one of the important issues in the recent discourses on the relationship and the politics of Northeast-Asia. The diaspora in East-Sea Rim has increased steadily in number for their own economic or political objectives. Consequently a serious political problem like a human rights issues in the border area has arisen. The core of the issue of diaspora lies in the strong territorial sovereignty of Northeast Asian countries. It means that despite the transnational capitalism and globalization of social environment the idea of modern nation-state has grown strong as much as modern politics as bio power and bio politics has grown strong. The diaspora of East Sea Rim has symbolic meaning as the issue of the territorial sovereignty that the modern nation-state in Northeast Asia has. In spite of this symbolic importance, a study of the diaspora of East Sea Rim is not enough. To understand exactly the reality of Diaspora of East Sea Rim, this paper brings up the discussion the representation of them in the independent film of 2000’s that is “Our School”(2006), “Let The Blue River Run”(2008), “Dooman River”(2009). “Our School”, “Let The Blue River Run”, “Dooman River” have represented the identities of diaspora as social minorities who were neither Korean nor non-Korean. The diasporic spaces in these films set such as Hokkaido Chosun school, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture and some village near Dooman River expose what is meant the diaspora to be a nationalist in the age of globalization. It is important that there is the other beginning that the diasporic narratives change from being Diaspora to writing and re-writing Diaspora.
