本文采用“全球民族志回访”的方法，对韩裔日本人的侨居进行了进化论解释。通过将韩裔日本人的范围扩大到除留在日本之外被遣返回韩国和朝鲜的人，本文发现他们的移民轨迹逐渐从被动的民族主义移民演变为积极的跨国侨民，这一结论不容易用只观察在日本的韩国人的传统方法来复制。这三个阶段的演变过程包括殖民时期的被动流亡、冷战时期的后流亡和冷战后的跨国流散。本文提供的三个民族志案例表明，动机和环境结构影响着整个进化过程，而远离他们想象的故乡是韩裔日本人演变为跨国侨民的关键。
This paper presents an evolutionary explanation of diaspora for the Korean-Japanese using a method of ‘global ethnographic revisits’. By expanding the scope of the Korean-Japanese to those who repatriated to South Korea and North Korea in addition to those who remained in Japan, the paper finds that their migration trajectory has gradually evolved from passive nationalistic migration to active transnational diaspora, a conclusion that was not easily replicable using the conventional method of observing Korean residents only in Japan. The three-stage evolution process includes passive diaspora during the colonial period, post-diaspora during the cold-war era, and transnational diaspora after the cold war. The three ethnographic cases presented in this paper indicate that motivation and environmental structures affect the whole evolutionary process, whereas distancing from their imaginary homeland is key in evolving into transnational diaspora for the Korean-Japanese.
