An Analysis of Hospitality Consciousness in Korean-Chinese Narratives 「Okhwa」 and

This article examines the aspects of hospitality in their works by narrative analysis of the works of Korean-Chinese artists. In China and Korea, Geum-hee and Jang Yul, who would have considered the national identity as a Korean-Chinese, the other consciousness and hospitality more fiercely than anyone else, present their views and thoughts on hospitality to Korean society through their works. To examine this, I would like to borrow a discussion on the contradictory relationship between unconditional hospitality and conditional hospitality by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Geum-hee's novel “Okhwa” shows that conditional hospitality, which is considered inferior to unconditional hospitality and must be overcome in the process of advancing to unconditional hospitality, is in fact inseparable from unconditional hospitality and can play a role in leading the subject. In Jang Yul's “Duman River”, you can think about the ethical problem of hospitality in which women's lives and pain are guaranteed in realizing unconditional hospitality.
