Abstract

For Soviet Koreans the Korean theater, founded by amateur groups in Vladivostok, became the embodiment of ethnic art, literature, music, dance and costume. After its deportation, the theater worked in Kyzyl-Orda (1937–41; 1959–68) and Ushtobe (1942–59). It moved to Alma-Ata in 1966 and has been based there ever since. For over 85 years, the Korean theater has been maintaining and promoting national culture among not only the Korean diaspora but also the diverse ethnic populations of the Soviet Union. The promoting the cultural interests of the country of origin in a multiethnic environment. This means that the theater’s mission regarding Koreans in the former Soviet Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was and still is twofold: “diaspora building” and “diaspora intergration.” The recent challenges and trends faced by this unique diasporic theater demands a synergy between the Korean diaspora and its ethnic motherland’s efforts.

哈萨克斯坦的韩国剧院作为散居者的文化中心

对于苏联朝鲜人来说，由业余团体在符拉迪沃斯托克创立的韩国剧院，成为了民族艺术、文学、音乐、舞蹈和服装的化身。驱逐出境后，剧院在基齐尔-奥尔达(1937-41;1959-68)和乌什图别(1942-59)。它于1966年迁至阿拉木图，并一直驻扎在那里。在过去的85年里，韩国剧团不仅在侨民中，而且在苏联各民族中维护和弘扬了民族文化。在多民族环境中促进原籍国的文化利益。这意味着，剧院对前苏联和独联体(CIS)韩国人的使命过去是，现在仍然是双重的:“侨民建设”和“侨民融合”。这个独特的散居剧场最近面临的挑战和趋势要求散居的韩国人和其民族祖国的努力之间的协同作用。

期刊介绍： The Korea Journal (ISSN 0023-3900) was founded as an English journal in 1961 with the ultimate aim of globally promoting all facets of Korean Studies. It appeared as a monthly until 1990, then became a quarterly publication and, more importantly, made a concentrated effort to become an academic journal. In the beginning, the Korea Journal primarily focused on the introduction of traditional Korean culture to the world, but has recently shifted its focus by becoming a medium for intellectual dialogue and exchange between Korean and foreign scholars in the field of Korean Studies. The Journal includes articles, debates, book reviews and book notes.
