ABSTRACT This article looks at the rapid emergence of ban damunhwa (“anti-multiculture”) or the sentiment of anti-immigration in South Korea. Ban damunhwa discourse centers on a variety of issues such as the state's multicultural policy, crimes by foreigners, and problems of the so-called illegal sojourners, and has been most active and visible on the Internet, especially since the mid-2000s. This article focuses on the way ban damunhwa defines the state's multicultural policy as what gives special preferences to migrants, which, in turn, is said to destroy the livelihoods of South Korean citizens. Represented as the “voices of ordinary citizens,” ban damunhwa narratives appeal to a neoliberal idea of fairness and equity, under which migrants emerge as demonic free-riders. Ban damunhwa discourse not only serves as a symptom of a neoliberal ethic but also mirrors the dilemma of the people who struggle within a system of precarity and yet reproduce its main ideologies.

“普通公民的声音”：韩国反移民禁令及其新自由主义影响

摘要 本文着眼于在韩国迅速兴起的 ban damunhwa（“反多元文化”）或反移民情绪。Ban damunhwa 话语集中在各种问题上，例如国家的多元文化政策、外国人犯罪以及所谓的非法滞留者问题，并且在互联网上最为活跃和可见，特别是自 2000 年代中期以来。本文重点讨论 ban damunhwa 将国家多元文化政策定义为给予移民特殊优惠的方式，据说这反过来会破坏韩国公民的生计。以“普通公民的声音”为代表的禁令 damunhwa 叙事诉诸公平和公正的新自由主义理念，在这种理念下，​​移民成为恶魔般的搭便车者。
