문화의 차원에 비추어 본 다문화사회로서의 한국의 특수성

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to identify the characteristics of South Korea as a multicultural society in terms of cultural dimensions, which are supposed to reveal systematically the relation between universalism and particularism. In particular, it aims to explore how particularities of South Korea such as nationalism based upon bloodlineage and Confucianism operate in three dimensions of culture: law, tradition, and disposition (habitus). In result, it reals that paternal－lineagism is still dominant in the dimension of law, Confucianism is residual in the dimension of tradition, and ethnocentric instrumentalism pervades in the dimension of disposition( habitus). Based upon the results, it can be interpreted that the late modern historic experiences of South Korean people such as tragic colonization, division, and war have caused the formation of an absolute trust on family, the failure of internalizing democracy, and the inclination toward ethnocentric instrumentalism. From this interpretation, it is maintained that normative multiculturalism against the backdrop of universal globalization can be realized only with the full understanding and overcoming of cultural particularities based upon South Korean history.
