  • Ethnic entrepreneurship, an important means by which immigrants improve economic status, is widely believed to be facilitated by their residential concentration, i.e. ethnic enclaves. However, the recent immigrants' residential dispersion and re-clustering in some selected well-to-do suburbs portend changes in the role of ethnic enclave as a nest of immigrant entrepreneurship. This paper investigates the impacts of the residential dispersal on ethnic entrepreneurship with a case study of Korean small businessmen in Chicago, Illinois PMSA. The research utilizes the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) to know the overall changes in Korean entrepreneurship through 1990s and conducts a survey to understand reactions and surviving strategies of Korean enclave businessmen to the residential shifts. Relevant to those analyses is the enclave-economy hypothesis which argues benefit from spatial clustering of co-ethnic entrepreneurs by yielding more business opportunities and higher returns.

  • 기술집약적인 경제성장의 중요성이 강조되고 있는 가운데 이공계 진학과 과학기술직종선택의 감소는 성장잠재력에 가장 근본적인 위협이 된다. 이를 유지하려는 여러 가지 정책이 교육학적이나 사회학적 근거에서 제시되고 있으나 이를 분석하는 이론적 경험적 틀이 상대적으로 부족한 상태이다. 직업선택모델은 사회학적인 접근법이 활발하게 진행되었으나, 경제적 동인에 대극 분석이 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 2000년 미국 센서스 데이터에 나타난 가장 국제화된 미국의 과학기술직 사례를 통해 인적자본 모델을 기준으로 하여 기술직에 대한 기존의 연구와 비교한다. 이민의 직업선택모델의 관점에서 원주민의 경우와 비교하며, 동시에 타 직업군과 비교한다. 직업선택에서 미래소득에 대한 예측이 대체로 정확하나 실제의 선택이 다르다는 기존 논문들의 주장은 성간 차이의 문제를 제외하고는 현격하지 않다. 민족적 차이의 효과도 인적자본효과에 비해서는 크지 않다. 과학기술직은 고급 화이트칼라 직종에 비해 결혼과 교육 언어 경험면에서 저급한 직종의 특성을 보인다. 여성의 과학기술직 기피는 남성프리미엄이 높아서는 아니지만 합리적인 차별 때문으로 볼 수 있다.

  • This paper aims to identify the key features of the novel writing of Korean American immigrants and their meaning as one aspect of movement and contact occuring in the early modern period. The late return of the novels written by Nakcheong THUN in the 1930s is significant in that it restored ideas on the diversity of early modern mobility and confronted the history and culture of immigrants who were excluded from records and memories. Not only are these novels a product of the phenomenon of immigration, but they have also created a crack in the dichotomous perceptions of domination and subordination, center and periphery by envisioning it as a space that creates new history, culture, institutions and values. These novels treat the free love of intellectual, emotional, and ethical figures as a central event, demystifying Western free love, and at the same time, a society divided by various identities including class, race, and gender. The novels by Nakchung THUN visualize the active exchange between the immigrant and the indigenous community through the character of Jack, and imagines the heterotopia as a place where not for the immigrants' utopia, but for everyone's coexists. These novels have declared a kind of memory war on the subordinate and marginalized contact zones. The contact zones of the immigration area had been a place for experiencing extreme conflicts and discords, and at the same time, it has served as a place where various groups and communities are connected. The contact zones were common areas of solidarity and creation before being subject to division and occupation. The contact zones are far from the border or borderlands, so it is not a fixed and immutable deadlock. As a world free from central domination the contact zones have been a space that preoccupied history and culture through various encounters, and have been a community.
