摘要

本文重点介绍了热门电视剧《鱿鱼游戏》中“新弱者”相宇、基勋、门面人物的形象。我们认为,这些角色代表了一种新型的失败者,他们内化了韩国新自由资本主义固有的意识形态。“赢家通吃”的制度加速了财富和不平等的两极分化,这在一定程度上是学者们所谓的“新贫困”或1997年金融危机导致的中产阶级崩溃的结果。新自由主义被用来解决新贫困问题,但它并没有治愈危机,而是迎来了新贫困的第二阶段,这在《鱿鱼游戏》中弱势群体的叙述中得到了体现。

“We bet on humans; you’re our horses”: the second phase of neo-poverty in South Korea as portrayed in Squid Game
This essay highlights the portrayals of three “new underdogs” in the hit television show, Squid Game: Sang-woo, Gi-hun, and the Front Man. We argue that these characters personify a new type of underdog, one that has internalized the ideologies inherent in neoliberal capitalism in Korea. The “winner takes all” system accelerated the polarization of wealth and inequality, which is in part the result of what scholars called “neo-poverty,” or the collapse of the middle class caused by the 1997 financial crisis. Neoliberalism was adopted to address neo-poverty, but rather than cure the crisis, it has ushered in a second phase of neo-poverty that is manifest in the underdogs’ narratives in Squid Game.
