글로벌 시대의 트랜스이주와 장소의 재구성

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recent decades have seen the wide spread of transnational migration on an unprecedentedly large scale with globalization progressing. The transmigrants are quite different from the past international (im)migrants in terms of the aims and processes of migration cross-over national boundary. This paper investigates how place has change according to the transmigration, and seeks for the relevent perspectives and methods for the research on the interplay of transmigration and place. There has been widely accepted the ungrounded research frame focusing on the dynamics of transnational and deterritorialized network spaning over the global 'space offlow'. And also new grounded research frame has broadly being emerged with paying attention to the characteristics of the local and place as a relational construction based on the reterritoiralization of 'space of place'. This new frame suggests many supplement points in terms of redrawing on migrant's subjectivity and returning on locality as relational space, and thus getting over the limits of the existing methodological nationalism on the research on transnationalism and transmigration. The concept oftranslocality combining trans-network and locality could be wisely applied on the research on relational place and cultural hybridity on a particular site on which transnationality is grounded.
