English to Korean: Representation of Otherness and Reflection of Ideologies : A Critical Discourse Analysis of South Korean News Reports on Immigrants General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Media / Multimedia
Source text - English Representation of Otherness and Reflection of Ideologies : A Critical Discourse Analysis of South Korean News Reports on Immigrants This study aims to examine how immigrants in South Korea are represented in the major Korean newspapers and tries to figure out the specific ideology of Korea, which brings the particular kind of representation. The articles from four major newspapers, two conservative and two liberal ones, from 2019 to 2021 are analyzed. This study explores the pattern of Korean media othering immigrants from the perspective of critical discourse analysis based on Van Dijk’s ideological square theory and Fairclough’s framework with the criteria: 1) the words used in the headline and text, the way they are combined, and the meaning they form, 2) the formats of articles and the way they correlate with the level of the otherness of immigrants, and 3) the ideology frames reflected on the messages delivered in the articles. The findings show that the Korean newspapers employ different strategies of language use, positioning Koreans as "we-group" and immigrants as "they-group." The main characteristic of representation was describing immigrants as underdogs, victims, and beneficiaries in contrast to Korean as benefactors. This “othering” process reflects ideologies deeply rooted in Korean society, such as neo-racism, neo-orientalism, paternalism, nationalism, and pure-bloodism.	Translation - Korean 타자화의 재현, 이데올로기의 반영: 이민자에 대한 한국 뉴스 기사의 비판적 담론 분석 본 연구는 한국의 주요 신문들에서 한국에 사는 이민자들이 어떻게 재현되는지를 조사하는 것을 목표로 하여, 특정한 재현 유형을 야기하는 구체적인 한국사회 이데올로기를 이해하려 시도했다. 본 연구는 2019년부터 2021년까지 2개의 보수성향 신문사, 2개의 진보성향 신문사들을 포함한 4대 주요 신문사들의 기사들을 분석했다. 본 연구는 반다이크의 이데올로기적 사각형 이론과 페어클라우의 프레임에 기초한 비판적 담론 분석의 관점에서 한국 언론이 이민자를 타자화하는 패턴을 1) 제목과 본문에 사용된 단어, 결합 방식, 그리고 그것들이 형성되는 의미, 2) 기사의 형식과 그 형식들이 이민자의 타자화 수준과 연관성을 이루는 방식, 그리고 3) 기사가 전달하는 메시지에 반영되어 있는 이데올로기 프레임을 기준으로 삼아 탐구했다. 연구 결과, 한국 신문들이 한국인은 '우리집단'으로, 이민자는 '그들집단'으로 위치시키며 다른 언어 사용 전략을 사용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 재현의 주요 특징들로는 이민자를 한국인과 대조적으로 약자, 피해자, 수혜자로 묘사한다는 점이 있었다. 이러한 '타자화' 과정은 신 인종주의, 신 오리엔탈리즘, 온정주의, 민족주의, 순혈주의와 같이 한국 사회에 깊이 뿌리박힌 이데올로기들을 반영한다.
