Abstract:This study is a socio-cultural analysis of Islamophobia in South Korea as well as an examination of the representations of Islam by Korean online media. By tracing the development of Islamophobia in Korea, I will attempt to examine how discussions of Islam have both evolved and are currently taking place in Korea. Furthermore, by determining the intricate relationship between Islamophobia and Korean Protestantism, I will identify one of the major drivers of this discourse. While Islamophobia has spread noticeably after a series of terrorist attacks by an armed group calling itself the Islamic State (IS), the rapid spread of Islamophobia can be partly attributed to the general Korean public's limited and distorted understanding of Islam and Muslims. This study aims to combat prejudice and discrimination against Islam and reduce the resultant social conflict by determining the cultural logics behind the images of Islam in Korean society. Judging from the comments on social media and in Korean news articles, Islamophobia can be viewed as an aspect of a larger backlash against multiculturalism. In such discourses, Islam acts as an agent of uncertainty and uncontrollable "liquid fear" (Bauman 2013). This work ultimately proposes that certain steps need to be taken to promote respect for the otherness of Islam in a multicultural, globalized Korean society.

伊斯兰恐惧症和伊斯兰教在韩国的代表政治

摘要:本研究是对韩国伊斯兰恐惧症的社会文化分析,也是对韩国网络媒体对伊斯兰教的表征的检验。通过追踪韩国伊斯兰恐惧症的发展,我将尝试研究有关伊斯兰教的讨论如何演变以及目前在韩国发生的情况。此外,通过确定伊斯兰恐惧症和韩国新教之间错综复杂的关系,我将确定这一话语的主要驱动因素之一。虽然伊斯兰恐惧症在自称为伊斯兰国 (IS) 的武装团体发动一系列恐怖袭击后明显蔓延,但伊斯兰恐惧症的迅速蔓延可部分归因于韩国公众对伊斯兰教和穆斯林的有限和扭曲的理解。本研究旨在通过确定韩国社会伊斯兰教形象背后的文化逻辑,打击对伊斯兰教的偏见和歧视,并减少由此产生的社会冲突。从社交媒体和韩国新闻文章的评论来看,伊斯兰恐惧症可以被视为对多元文化主义的更大反弹的一个方面。在这样的话语中,伊斯兰教充当了不确定性和无法控制的“流动恐惧”的代理人(Bauman 2013)。这项工作最终提出,需要采取某些步骤来促进在多元文化、全球化的韩国社会中尊重伊斯兰教的差异性。伊斯兰恐惧症可以被视为对多元文化主义的更大反弹的一个方面。在这样的话语中,伊斯兰教充当了不确定性和无法控制的“流动恐惧”的代理人(Bauman 2013)。这项工作最终提出,需要采取某些步骤来促进在多元文化、全球化的韩国社会中尊重伊斯兰教的差异性。伊斯兰恐惧症可以被视为对多元文化主义的更大反弹的一个方面。在这样的话语中,伊斯兰教充当了不确定性和无法控制的“流动恐惧”的代理人(Bauman 2013)。这项工作最终提出,需要采取某些步骤来促进在多元文化、全球化的韩国社会中尊重伊斯兰教的差异性。
