| 摘要 | This paper intends to excavate and examine the long-forgotten naturalization practices and policies of traditional Korea that existed before the advent of a single-raced nationalism, based on the transformation of Dangun from the first king into the biological ancestor of Koreans. The following three points will be made: first, the so-called ethnic nationalism that underlines the purity of Korean blood is not an integral part of Korean tradition. Traditional Korea did not consider itself to be ethnically homogeneous. In addition, it is erroneous to say that Koreans lack a historical experience of living together with foreigners. Second, ethnic homogeneity in Korean nationalism is a relatively recent phenomenon. Korean nationalism was based on a profound sense of cultural distinctiveness and superiority. The idea of Koreans as being the descendants of Dangun was originally introduced to emphasize the Korean political and cultural life as being old as that of China. Third, those who identify ethnic homogeneity as the main cause for prejudice and discrimination against foreigners are actually engaging the wrong enemy, because the real cause is this very sense of being civilized and culturally superior. This is why multiculturalism is so easily embraced by nationalists. |
