The present study examined generational differences in ethnicity maintenance among Korean-Chinese to understand the impact of recent social change on a Korean-Chinese ethnic community in China. A total of 1355 Korean-Chinese (557 parents and 798 children), who live in Shenyang, China, participated in this study. The subjects were asked about their language use during daily conversations and cultural activities. They were also asked about their ethnic identity and perceptions of social distance from Chinese people. The results reveal that the Korean-Chinese parent generation is more likely to maintain its ethnic language, while the child generation is more likely to maintain its ethnic culture. Second, more parents than children considered themselves as 'Korean-Chinese' rather than 'Chinese'. Third, members of the child generation show less social distance from Chinese people than do the parent generation. These results show a strong tendency towards ethnicity maintenance among Korean Chinese as well as recent changes in the community. This study argues for the importance of school education and school environment in maintaining the ethnic language and culture of Korean-Chinese children.

This thesis aims to analyze the political, social, and cultural activities of the Acehnese ethnic group living in Jakarta, Indonesia. Based on analysis, this thesis examines how their ethnicity and national identity have been formed and expressed. For this purpose, this study deals with Taman Iskandar Muda (hereinafter referred to as TIM), a group of Acehnese transmigrants living in Jakarta. The immigration of the Acehnese to Jakarta started in the 1950s and the number of Acehnese people living in Jakarta persently amounts to 100,000. TIM, which was organized by the first generational of immigrants, functions to group Acehnese immigrants of various generations and class. Forum Keprihatinan Untuk Aceh(hereinafter referred to as Forka), an organization designed to solve the political problems of TIM, undertook various activities to maintain the peace of Aceh as the representative of TIM. Through those activities, TIM and Forka were able to confirm the feeling of homogeneity among the Acehnese who were living in their hometown and also strengthen their identity within the organizations. However, the fact that TIM and Forka put their focus on humanitarian activities paradoxically shows the political limitations that they sustain. TIM and Forka take care not to make their humanitarian activities seem as if they intend to openly strengthen their Acehnese identity and deny their Indonesian one. These political characteristics of Forka's identity are commonly found in groups that practice long-distance nationalism, as transmigrants in diaspora circumstances do. In the organization of TIM, there exists the menasah, which is a space where discussions of the ethnicity and the nation are practiced. As it is the space for local exchange, menasah reveals the identity of TIM through educational/social activities and public services. Menasah functions as the public arena where people practice ethnic identity on the basis of national integration. As a minority ethnic group living in Jakarta and its neighborhood, they are accustomed to double and selective political activities, social activities, and cultural practices. In order to adapt themselves to the double circumstance that they are faced with, they should live extemporaneously, and this life may be the fate that minority ethnic and transmigrants should endure.

The diversity of Southeast Asia can be also represented at the tremendous number of ethnic groups residing throughout its various regions even beyond national boundaries. What does it mean by the composite of numerous peoples? It has triggered a lot of problems in a nation or overall Southeast Asia. Among them, the most serious one seems to be ethnic conflicts having damaged national integration and caused political, economical, and social instability. In that respect, Karen people have been a minority group situated in the most chronic dispute in Myanmar. Since 1947 some of the Karen equipped with armed forces have been fighting against the military government currently ruling Myanmar. As the result, the refugees over 200,000 population had moved to the mountain camps located at neighboring Thailand, attracting a lot of attention throughout international societies. According to 1931 census by British colonial government, the Karen have the greatest numbers in population as minority and include 16 subgroups including Karenni(Kayah) and Pa-O seemingly excluded from its category in contemporary point of view. It means that Karen people should not be regarded as an ethnic group, and in fact do not show a homogeneous identity under the title of Karen. Given the situation, we need to reconsider the category of Karen. What does the Karen mean in a real sense? Previous studies on the Karen had been performed mainly by anthropologists or missionaries such as Marshall(1922), Hamilton (1976), Hanson Tadaw(1959), Smeaton(1920), Keyes(1979), Hayami (1992; 2004), etc. Most of them examined the Karen as a group and ignored the possibilities of representing the divergent identities vis-à-vis their subgroups. Therefore, they have focused on the myth to convert Karen people to Christianity, although the Christian Karens are less than 20% of total population. As a result, I argue that they would fail to define the real meaning of Karen. It has been caused us to recognize the Karen as a meaningless total entity to be accepted by all means. According to their arguments, the difference among Karen's subgroups is just dealt with the trivial matters that do not affect the ethnic boundary itself, still maintaining the ethnic identity as Karen. As we shall see on this thesis, this is never the case. My thesis aims at uncovering and scrutinizing the real meaning of the category of Karen. For the purpose of it, I will consider Karen people as a linguistic group from the beginning as shown in 1931 census. I argue that the Karen have been affected or exposed by various conditions or environments throughout the harsh history having happened on the areas of current Myanmar and Thailand, leading the vicissitudes of their ethnic identities.

Recently Southeast Asia has developed, so the world concerns about these regions. Ethnic fashion in 90's is mostly the influence of these regions' folk costume. The purpose of this study is to review aes-thetic aspects of folk costume in Southeast Asia, to investigate the influence on modern fashion and to predict the possibility of Asia fashion's adaption to modern fashion and to help the cre-ation of fashion design. First of all, the folk costume in Southeast Asia is classified drapery style and sarong style. These non-west clothing appeal to modern fashion as the oriental tranditional beauty. Ethnic fashion appeared in 1990's is attempted to be more complex and variable than the pre-vious ethnic fashion. Asian ethnic fashion influenced from folk costume of Southeast Asia is-wholly or party-the style, color, motif from each country's folk costume. And each country's unique art became the motive of the creative design. Specially, Aosai and Quan in Vietnam and sar-ong style in most Southeast Asia are important motives expressing minority's nostalgia. These are expressed in variable ways. Which are harmonized with latest other fashion trend : retro style and naturalism, Layered look, hippie look, unfinished sewing technic and manual technic are used one image matched the folk costume of Southeast Asia which is natural. Another characterstic in Asian ethnic fashion is a multi-ethnic. This harmonizes the different culture between the Orient and the West beyond the age and culture, and combines each folk costume. It is involved that the fashion can develop indivisual country's costumes mixed with her own unique characteristics and the fashion break the traditional concept and disagree with a certain coordinate rule and it indicates that the fashion shows various style, mood, volume and room as well as space. Like this recent Asian ethnic fashion comes to us in a strange favor. The people who are tired of traditional western civilization's outcome will receive a great tastes from the Asian ethnic fashion.

5000년의 역사를 가지고 있는 문신은 집단사회의 표식이며 방어 및 위장, 자신을 가꾸기 위한 하나의 수단으로 사용 되었다. 현대 사회에서의 문신 문화는 소수 민족에 국한 되거나 개인적인 선호의 장식 요소로 문신이 사용되고 있다. 그 중 중국 소수 민족인 태족은 아직 문신 문화가 유지되고 있으나 점차 퇴색되고 있다. 따라서 태족의 문신 문화보호의 필요성이 요구 된다. 본 연구의 절차 및 방법은 고서분석 및 거주 지역의 탐방 조사 그리고 인터뷰를 통한 자료수집으로 진행하였다. 조사 결과 태족의 문신 문화는 전통 문신도감, 문신사의 기억, 문신을 받은 사람들의 이야기 등에 의해 지속적으로 전해져 왔다. 그러나 1952년부터 1956년 사이 진행되었던 중국의 정치개혁으로 태족의 전통문화와 풍습이 변화되어 문신 문화 규모가 이전보다 축소되어 사라져 가고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 소수민족인 태족의 문신 문화계승을 위해서는 문신 문화의 기록이 필요하다고 사료되며 향후 고령화로 인한 문신사와 문신을 받은 사람들의 문신 문화의 기록 및 문신의 해석이 연구 되어야 한다고 사료되어 진다.

중국의 오랜 역사 과정에서 풍부하고 소중한 소수민족의 전통음악은 형성되었다. 각 민족은 발전 과정에서 독특한 자연환경과 특수한 생활과 생산 방식에 따라 자기만의 세계관과 음악 문화를 만들어 냈다. 클라리넷은 서양 악기로서, 중국에 전래되는 과정에서 중국 소수민족 문화의 영향을 어느 정도 받아왔다. 따라서 음악가들은 중국 소수민족 음악 중의 여러 요소를 표현하는 데에 서양 악기를 사용하는 방법을 모색했다. 본 논문은 중국 소수민족 음악의 요소를 사용하여 창작된 현대 클라리넷 작품 작곡가 왕염의 『목마의 노래』와 작곡가 호벽정의 『파미이지음』을 중심으로 작품의 형성 유래, 작품에 나타난 예술적인 표현 특징 등 두 측면에서 클라리넷에서 표현되는 민족적인 요소를 분석하고자 한다. 구체적으로는 민족음악의 모드 음계, 박자, 리듬과 선율의 표현기법, 그리고 소수민족 전통 악기를 모방한 소리의 특징 등 다섯 가지 내용으로 구성된다. 또한 지역, 생산, 생활, 민족 정서 등과 접목하여 작품에 사용된 타지크족과 몽골족 음악에 나타난 민족문화의 특징을 분석한다. 본 연구는 중국 현대 클라리넷 작품의 음악 스타일을 습득하고자 하는 창작자와 연주자에게 이론적인 근거를 제공하고 서양 악기로 중국 전통 음악을 연주할 더 좋은 방법을 모색하고자 한다.

이 논문은 중국 민족정책의 특징이라 할 수 있는 민족식별과 민족자치구역 설정에 내재된 공간적 전략과 그 효과에 대해 검토한다. 중국의 민족식별과 자치구역의 설정은, 전통적인 정체성의 기초를 약화시키고 민족을 지역화시킴으로써, 소수민족들을 중국 내의 확고한 인민으로 전환시키는 국가통합과정의 일부라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 과정에서 민족 식별에 있어서 기준의 자의성, 국가에 의한 인구의 재배치 그리고 민족자치구역의 설정 및 영역 조정이 중요한 역할을 하였다. 이러한 과정은 보다 상위의 개념으로서 '중국민족' 혹은 '중화민족'이라는 정체성을 구성하려는 국가의 의도와 맞물려 있었지만, 그렇게 식별된 민족과 구획된 영역을 따라서 새로운 개별 민족적 정체성을 창출하게 되는 과정이기도 하였다.
