dc.description.abstract | This research analyzes the placemaking dynamics of the Latin-American
migrant community in Seoul, South Korea. Placemaking is the process of creating quality places that people want to live, work, play and learn in. It is a process that gives importance to the spaces within cities, as well as to human interactions and the connections between people and place. However, not everyone participates in placemaking in the same manner or uses the same techniques. Previous studies on migrant communities and ethnic placemaking have tended to focus on larger sized communities in host countries, while ignoring the smaller ones. This can give the impression that smaller migrant communities do not take part in placemaking activities and become invisible throughout society. This research hopes to prove the opposite. Given that the Latin American community in South Korea is a minority of a minority, it cannot rely on neither the size of its community, a geographical proximity to the migrants countries of origin, nor on historical and cultural ties between the countries in question for them to have a profound influence within South Korean society. Taking this background into account, this research asks the following: (1) how do migrant communities that have little or no historical and cultural ties to ii their host countries create a place for themselves? And (2) how does the role of culture from a migrants home country influence the level of a migrant communitys visibility (or lack thereof) within the host country? Being that Seoul is the city where most foreign residents in South Korea tend to accumulate, it serves as the case study site for this qualitative research study. Through the use of archival analysis, direct participatory observation and in-depth interviews, this research focuses on the placemaking dynamics within the Latin American community in Seoul, being principally carried out via social media platforms and religious association on the one hand, and the visibility of this community in South Korean society through the presence of Latin American small ethnic businesses owned by non-Latin Americans in Seoul. I argue that compared to larger and more visible Latin American communities abroad, Latin Americans in Seoul rely on the profitability of their home culture in order to be seen by others, while at the same time, they build social networks with other Latinos in Seoul instead of actual physical spaces for themselves in order to feel at home.
