문화적 상상력과 상상의 공동체 -대-한-민-국의 다중성에 대한 비판적 탐색- = The Imagination of Culture and the Imagined Communities -A Critical Approach of the Multiplicity of Dae-Han-Min-Guk-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to review the cultural contents and implications of `Dae-Han-Min-Guk`. People has been used to `Dae-Han-Min-Guk` as a slogan after the Korea-Japan world cup competitions in 2002 rather than the name of Korea. `Dae-Han-Min-Guk` has become the popular song`s title since the middle of 1980s, which had been sung widely, and a cheering slogan in the international competitions. It seemed to make an imagined cultural community by spreading the slogan. Owing to its emptiness and superficiality in substantiality, however, it has been used as a tool of commercial interests and of regulating cultural imagination. Moreover it has become a political rhetoric for the mass mobilization of political manipulation. In an imagined community people`s cultural imagination is restricted by a political rhetoric, and their sense of unity is just a false feeling, though recognized as the highest virtue, like in the authoritarian regime. A sense of shared commitment prevails over a civility that puts much value upon diversity and coexistence in the context of democratic culture. This paper emphasizes that one basic condition of the strong democracy is the development of culturally affluent civil society. This study finds that `Dae-Han-Min-Guk` has a tendency to make people fall into an insane shows of national identities fabricated predominantly. Insofar as `Dae-Han-Min-Guk` creates an false community in which we are all the one, it is very difficult to construct a democratic society in which people care each other on the basis of diversities and differencies in class, gender, nationality, and culture.
