This paper examines how issues of citizenship and belonging within an emergent “multicultural” South Korea are articulated through inter‐ethnic relations among elementary school children. Based on ethnographic data and drawing on theories of affective citizenship and intimacy, I argue that affective dimensions of citizenship provide insight into everyday dynamics of exclusion and inclusion, through which citizenship, especially a sense of belonging, is negotiated and contested. This has implications for global citizenship education in South Korea.

情感公民和外围亲密关系：韩国学校中的儿童种族关系

本文研究了如何通过小学生之间的族际关系来阐明新兴的“多元文化”韩国的公民身份和归属问题。我认为，基于人种学数据并借鉴情感公民权和亲密性的理论，公民的情感维度提供了对排斥和包容的日常动态的洞察力，通过它可以对公民，尤其是归属感进行协商和争论。这对韩国的全球公民教育产生了影响。
