In this paper, I will examine the ways in which practices and discourses of “damunhwa,” translated as “multi-culture” or “multiculturalism,” have developed among the activists working in South Korean migrant centers, local advocates and service providers for foreign labor migrants and “marriage immigrants”. First, I will discuss the situation where various anti-statist themes, e.g., “the dubious state” and “the least state,” are being enacted in the NGO activists’ imaginaries of a better multiculturalist future. Then, I will move on to examine the ways in which the main focus of the discourses and practices of damunhwa among the above activists lies in their critique of Korean society and its ‘culture’ and the improvement in what is called ‘multicultural sensitivity’ among the individuals who are exclusively assumed to be majority Korean citizens. At the level of specific practices of damunhwa, activists believe that the development of multicultural sensitivity is realized through more exposures to the cultural diversity of the other with much emphasis on the dimension of chehom, “bodily experiences” of things – specifically through the media of either multicultural festivals or classes where individuals can have opportunities to experience migrants’ different cuisines, costumes, and various other kinds of material cultures. My main argument will be that the emerging damunhwa discourses and programs in Korea as such operate as technologies of governing difference and otherness and individualize the matter of social justice and inequality. I suggest that discussions on multiculturalism in social sciences will be better advanced with ethnographic examinations of its translations and deployments in various local settings.
