20.500.12556/RUL-186492 Otherness through time in Korea case study of Zainichi Korean returnees This study examines the evolution of the concept of the “Other” in Korean society and its reshaping of the experiences of Zainichi Korean returnees from Japan. The study aims to trace the historical and cultural construction of otherness, analyse how temporal frameworks mediate identity negotiations and ground these dynamics in a case study of Seoul in 2019. Drawing on literature analysis, policy review, and ethnographic data from interviews and participant observation, the research reveals that returnees navigate hybrid identities within intersecting temporal grammars – ritual, linear, networked, and existential. These frameworks influence institutional perceptions and self-fashioning, producing moments of dialogue and tension between tradition and modernity. The findings show that Korean society’s encounter with global interconnectedness fosters both the convergence and divergence of temporalities, reframing the “Other” as a dynamic relationship rather than a fixed category. This highlights how identities can change over time and how societal acceptance can evolve across generations. otherness in Korea temporal frameworks diaspora Zainichi Koreans drugost v Koreji časovni okvirji diaspora Zainichi Korejci true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-09-02 12:12:45 2026-09-02 12:12:52 2026-09-04 03:34:19 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 210-226 Vol. 34 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 316.347(519.5) 2500-9974 10.55877/cc.vol34.748 289753347 RAZ_Visocnik_Gerzej_Natasa_2026.pdf RAZ_Visocnik_Gerzej_Natasa_2026.pdf 1 B45811CA8C144CF96EE95136E8301759 fc9ac5d9cefbc8f4c8ab4c34ee6378fd1d3919e773cea1f7232e58b112384b89 91a6a9a0-a6b6-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245758 https://www.culturecrossroads.lv/index.php/cc/article/view/748 1 72172a19-a6b6-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245757 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
