한국문학의 ‘복수의 근대성’, 아시아적 타자의 새 발견 : 외국인 이주노동자와 한국문학의 새로운 윤리감에 대한 모색 = ‘Plural modernity’ in Korean literature, a new discovery of Asian others ― Study on the sense of new ethics for foreign migrant workers and Korean literature

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korean literature has groped for the possibility of different modernity from Western modernity; it schemed and pursued ‘plural modernity’ as a generic term for non-capitalist modern enhancement to stress the distinctiveness and multiplicity of modernity holding out against ‘singular modernity.’
What must not be disregarded in the pursuit of ‘plural modernity’ Korean literature has achieved up to now is, however, the pursuit of ‘plural modernity,’ which was investigated within the nation-state, the Republic of Korea; that is, within the framework of one individual nation’s crisis. Korea openly underwent the fictitiousness of such a framework of one single nation’s crisis by way of the IMF. Hence, despotism of the neoliberalist order deviated from a nation’s boundary and loomed large as a critical-pending question of the entire global crisis, ‘plural modernity’ Korean literature must pursue, has since confronted multifarious dilemmas that cannot be resolved by only a nation’s viewpoint. A sensitive issue in the Korean society among the dilemmas concerns the reality of foreign migrant workers. Korean literature in the previous viewpoint of a nation was to deal successfully with ‘singular modernity’ that centered in the Western society, which has perceived the critical reality of foreign migrant workers in Korea and revealed contradictions and ills of Korean capitalism. Korean literature desires a global reform to achieve the class liberation of workers as resolving the dilemmas. The scheme for pursuing ‘plural modernity’ setting about within such a boundary of a nation extends to the issue of foreign migrant workers, the severity of which gradually rises within the global boundary of the neoliberalist order.
Korean literature is hence confronted with a new assignment. The rapid influx of foreign migrant workers to the Korean society cannot be disregarded, and Korean literature must never overlook the agony in their life in the Korean society. The reality of their life becomes conscious in our life in this global system of the 21st century capitalism. The pursuit of ‘plural modernity’ in Korean literature in the interest of overcoming European-centered ‘singular modernity’ can allow a deviation from the boundary of a nation and be more fertile as encountering with the reality of foreign migrant workers. Doing so, Korean literature can newly disclose ‘Asian others ？ foreign migrant workers,’ whom it previously failed to properly recognize; and therefore embellish the sense of new literary ethics linking with the awareness of the issue.
