Abstract

In a multicultural society, social discourses composed of diversenvoices, identities, and subjectivities collide and naturally create tensions. AdoptingnRogers' (2004) methodological approach to critical discourse analysis andnCastells' (2004) categorization of identity - legitimizing, project, and resistanceasna conceptual framework, this paper analyzes the discourses between antiandnpro-multiculturalist sides in Korea. This paper surveys and analyzes thendiscourses hosted in cyber space, such as internet agora, portal site cafes, andnpersonal blogs, which are the outlets of common people's voices and identitiesnregarding multiculturalism. The concrete research questions of this paper arenas follows: i) how are anti- and pro-multiculturalist voices and rationalesncategorized?; ii) what are the types of identities in anti- and pro-multiculturalistndiscourses, and how do they conflict; and iii) what styles do anti- andnpro-multiculturalists bear in their own discourses? This paper argues thatnmulticultural discourses in Korea are conjugated by diverse conflicting voicesnof people with different standpoints and beliefs on a multicultural society. Thisnpaper also stresses that the government or academia should monitor the voices,nrationales, and attitudes of both sides to establish clear directions for futurenmulticultural policies and legislation.
