결혼문화로 본 CIS 고려인의 민족 정체성

Ethnic identity of Koreans in the CIS region through marriage culture

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of diaspora life of Koreans who have maintained their national identity for 150 years in the CIS region. Marriage is an encounter between individuals, but it is also a system of family and family meetings, and ultimately a system of maintaining national identity. In other words, any nation continues its generation through marriage, and on the one hand, it functions as a means of inheriting the individual s biological genes, but at the same time it is a unique function of maintaining the identity of the nation. Therefore, marriage can be a very useful measure in not only grasping a person s free will but also in identifying a nation s identity. To this end, the purpose of this study is to identify the causes of such changes by tracking the process of changing the perception of marriage among Koreans based on the socio-cultural background.
