Resumen
Este proyecto de investigación pretendió entender cómo las nociones de seguridad nacional en documentos oficiales afectan la construcción de la identidad nacional en la península coreana, especialmente respecto a la posibilidad de la reunificación de la península. La interpretación de los discursos encontrados en documentos oficiales de ambas Coreas demuestra que cada Estado Coreano ha constituido su propia identidad nacional al establecer diferentes barreras de valores que conciben dos nociones diferentes de la identidad nacional coreana. Respecto a la reunificación, esta es construida y visualizada en diferentes maneras por cada Estado coreano. Por ende, la reunificación probablemente resultará en la extensión de un Estado sobre otro.
Abstract
This research project intended to understand how the notion of national security in official documents affects the constitution of national identity in the Korean peninsula, particularly regarding the possibilities for Korean reunification. The interpretation of the discourses This research project intended to understand how the notion of national security in official documents affects the constitution of national identity in the Korean peninsula, particularly regarding the possibilities for Korean reunification. The interpretation of the discourses found in official documents of both Koreas shows that each Korean state has constituted its own Korean national identity by establishing different ethical boundaries that conceive two different notions of Korean national identity. Regarding reunification, it is constructed and envisioned in different ways by each Korean state. Therefore, reunification will probably result in an extension of one state over the other. That is because the discourse of national security allows the establishment of only one rightful Korean state and the need to deny the deviational ‘other’ Korean state.
