Multiculturalism in Korea formed in the context of its neoliberal,
global aspirations, its postcolonial legacy with Japan, and its
subordinated neocolonial relationship with the United States. The
Korean ethnoscape and mediascape produce a complex understanding of
difference that cannot be easily reduced to racism or
ethnocentrism. Indeed the Korean word, injongchabyeol, often
translated as racism, refers to discrimination based on any kind of
"human category." Explaining Korea's relationship to difference and
its practices of othering, including in media culture, requires new
language and nuance in English-language scholarship. This
collection brings together leading and emerging scholars of
multiculturalism in Korean media culture to examine mediated
constructions of the "other," taking into account the nation's
postcolonial and neocolonial relationships and its mediated
construction of self. "Anthrocategorism ," a more nuanced
translation of injongchabyeol, is proffered as a new framework for
understanding difference in ways that are locally meaningful in a
society and media system in which racial or even ethnic differences
are not the most salient. The collection points to the construction
of racial others that elevates, tolerates, and incorporates
difference; the construction of valued and devalued ethnic others,
and the ambivalent construction of co-ethnic others as sympathetic
victims or marginalized threats.
