development (many call “miraculous progress”) in a relatively short span. Only
to count the recent decades of history, Korea has risen from the ashes of
civil/international war, to a global success story in economic, cultural, and
political spheres. Its “miraculous” transformation (of its global positioning
and upward mobility, from the postcolonial South) produced equally dynamic
reconfiguration of economic, cultural, and political border lines between its
“homeland” and the world. More and more, a simple distinction between “what is
Korean, traditional, and local” and “what is alien, unauthentic, and global”
does not stand true anymore. The reality of multicultural family and marriage
immigrants, foreign workers and students, refugees, North Korean defectors,
returning Korean immigrants/descendants abroad, and other minorities of
ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, etc. has become everyday affairs for Koreans
today. </span></p>

the dynamic reconfiguration of borders within Korea through
inter/trans-disciplinary approaches. While “diaspora” remains a central
theoretical perspective (often highlighting “out of home” experiences), the
volume turns its gaze to inward, “within homeland,” to trace internal
displacement, mobility, and diversity in Korea. In addition, the proposed book
is particularly interested in bridging “diaspora” with other theoretical
lenses, such as intercultural sensitivity and adaptation, acculturation,
alienation, subaltern, counterpublic, and abjection. Also, we are interested in
exploring the possibilities of coalition building between/among diverse
communities within. </span></p>
