다문화 동화의 현황과 전망

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to group for the possibility of multicultural fairy tales through examining the problems of current multicultural fairy tales. In order to do this, the problems of multicultural fairy tales that conventionally represent racial discrimination were examined in the second chapter. It is observed that in multicultural fairy tale, children from multicultural family are portrayed as the others, the exceptional existence in Korean society. The problems of multicultural fairy tales that recreate migrant workers as powerless and passive people were investigated in the third chapter. In that chapter, it is shown that multicultural fairy tales which cling to the firm dichotomy between good Koreans and bad Koreans are failing to portrait foreign migrant workers as people who can make critical judgments and act autonomously. In this regards, it is estimated that current multicultural fairy tales only reproduce the specific situations which the subjects of multiculture are in. Therefore, in order to overcome theses limitations, researches with narration strategies and methods in terms of which we can represent the specific situations which the subjects of multiculture as the common problems in Korean society are actively conducted.
