Abstract

Globalisation has intensified the international movement of labour and South Korea is no exception. Korea, which in the past was itself a labour-exporting country, has seen a reversal in human mobility since the late 1990's with a rapid growth in immigration and a transformation of a previously almost ethnically homogenous society. In this context, the important questions about the cultural and political implications associated with the construction of minority representations in the media have remained highly unexplored. The starting point of this study is an examination of the vital role of public service broadcasting (PSB) in Korean society, where ethnic minorities have increasingly become visible. The study shows the significant role of PSB in representing cultural diversity in public debates and the ways in which such representations and their dissemination reflect media power.

전지구화는 국제사회의 인구 이동을 더욱 가속화시켰으며, 한국도 이러한 변화로부터 예외가 될 수는 없었다. 한국은 국가의 경제 성장 및 발전을 위해 역사적으로 해외에 노동력을 수출한 경험이 있다. 그러나 1990년대 말부터 이러한 사회적 흐름이 바뀌었고, 국내에 거주하는 이주민의 수가 급증하였으며, 단일민족국가로서의 특징이 점차 변화하였다. 그러나 대중 매체를 통해 비춰지는 소수민족집단의 모습이 한국사회에 어떠한 문화적 및 정치적인 영향력을 행사하고 있는지 살펴볼 필요가 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구는 현저히 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 한국공영방송에 비춰지는 소수민족집단에 초점을 맞추어 실증적 분석을 통해 한국사회의 시대적 변화 속에서 공영방송이 인종적 소수자들을 구체적으로 어떻게 보도하는가를 밝히고자 한다.
