移住者媒體的社會行動：南韓「移住者世界電視」發展歷程之考察

Social Actions of Migrant Media: The Case Study on Migrant World Television in South Korea

本研究以南韓「移住者世界電視」為觀察個案，探討國際人口遷徙背景下，移住者媒體在多元文化社會發展中的角色及彰顯的意涵。透過歷時性的訪談與觀察資料，本研究發現，過去十年中，「移住者世界電視」作為連結移住社群與南韓市民社會的橋樑，開拓出以跨國移住者為行動主體的媒體參與及社會實踐途徑。藉由草根移住者媒體的培力，不同背景的跨國移住者取得發聲管道，並在相互串連中凝聚改革動能，主動介入及參與南韓社會的轉型過程。

The present study investigated the role Migrant World Television in South Korea plays in the development of a multicultural society formed due to international migration, as well as the media's underlying meanings. Based on diachronic data obtained from interviews and observations, this study demonstrated that Migrant World Television is a connecting link between communities of transnational migrants and civil societies in South Korea and has initiated a form of active media participation and social engagement for transnational migrants in the last decade. Through the empowerment of grass-roots migrant media, transnational migrants of various backgrounds have gained access to channels that allow their voices to be heard, enable the consolidation of social reform dynamics through mutual alliances, and facilitate active engagement in the process of social transformation in South Korea.
