The controversy over multiculturalism reinitiated mainly in Western multicultural societies. Consequently, the so-called ‘multiculturalism backlash’ and the retreat have become serious and anti-multicultural emotions is rapidly spreading all over the world. The trend also influences the South Korean society. Therefore, this study focused on the anti-multicultural emotions emerging in South Korean society, the reality of multicultural society, and the media as a major producer of multicultural discourses. This study aimed to identify how anti-multicultural discourses were composed (e.g., aspect), what kinds of viewpoints and problems would be revealed, and how they are publicized and itemized. Through these results, I examined the symbolic meanings and social implications contained in the trends related to anti-multiculturalism in South Korean society. The emergence of anti-multicultural discourses presupposed the existence of multicultural discourses. <Study Question 1> analyzed how the terrain of multicultural discourse, which was produced by the media, were changed and what were the implications of it as the anti-multicultural emotions emerged. Depending on how the media reproduces and intervenes the rise of anti-multicultural discourses, new approaches and social discourses surrounding the multicultural discourses in South Korean society could be more actively deployed along with the rise of anti-multicultural discourses. In this context, <Study Question 2> mainly examined and analyzed what the media focused on, highlighted, and delivered regarding the spread of anti-multicultural emotions and, furthermore, what kind of viewpoints and critical thoughts appeared and publicized in the process. The results of this study could be summarized as follows. During the analysis period, the quantity of press release associated with multiculture tended to decrease. However, discourses related to anti-multicultural emotions such as racial discrimination, xenophobia, and the enactment of the prohibition on discrimination had been discussed more seriously. The media used mainly to deal with internationally married migrant women and immigrant workers but it started to illuminate stateless migrant children and domestic refugees issues. As previous studies pointed out continuously, it could be confirmed that the media's representation method maintained the subsumption strategy for settlement type migrants such as internationally married migrant women and multicultural families and the logic of exclusion on migrants, who were not allowed to settle in south Korea, such as immigrant workers. According to the ideological tendency of the media, the former is mainly publicized by conservative journalism and the latter is mainly done by progressive journalism. Furthermore, it was found that academic intellectuals or experts are mostly responsible for diagnosing the background and cause of the emergence of anti-multicultural discourse in the social context and providing the interpretation framework for an analysis than ers of the media. Regarding the representation characteristics against the media's anti-multicultural emotions, it was possible to detect the signs of empowerment of the conservative and progressive journalism in the process of racial discrimination attacks on Jasmine Lee. In addition, the threat to the social safety net due to foreign criminals can be either a 'real threat' or an 'imagined threat' depending on how the media reproduces it. In the economic aspect, the media strongly employs the racial hierarchy in the base of texts when the media deals with the job competition and welfare benefits between indigenous people and migrants. The media sets a confrontational structure between indigenous and migratory people and emphasizes a "relative deprivation" such as reverse discrimination against indigenous people. Various levels of factors cause anti-multicultural emotions. However, the representation strategy of the media often makes an approach of ‘the advanced country discourses’ that we should meet the global standards and avoid anti-intellectual attitude and aberrant such as racial discrimination and xenophobia. Alternatively, the media put the flag of ‘the humanity discourses’ with emphasizing that migrants should not be discriminated or excluded from the society because they have a different ethnicity, gender, or religion – an abstract and normative approach. These approaches of the media isolate the issue from the politics. In other words, these approaches excluded the social structure background making the anti-multicultural emotions appeared, the problem of political power game determining it, and the possibility of ideologizing or instrumentalizing it according to the political, economic, and social interests in the relationships among social classes. This study examined the characteristics and the social implications of these idea and expression shown in the anti-multicultural emotions of the media in the relation to the multicultural discourses produced by the media. This study diagnosed the potential of social conflicts, which can occur in the process of entering multicultural and multiracial society in South Korea as shown in the Europe, proactively. Moreover, it proposed to review the multicultural discourses in the introspective viewpoint. ，韩语毕业论文，韩语论文 |
