- Abstract
- Most researches on Arabs and Muslims in Korean society are through looking
at migrant workers, interethnic marriages, studies of the Arabic language and
the Halal food market. While the Interest in Arabic culture in Korean society
has been increasingly growing yet their portrayal in Korean media and popular
culture demonstrates a little knowledge as generalizations and stereotypes
appear routinely within cultural contents, particularly in films.
This study centers around films that feature Arab and Muslim characters.A
qualitative analysis of five films from five different genres such as drama,
indie, comedy, action, and historical fantasy can reflect Koreans' various
perceptions of Arabs and Muslims. The study focuses on three themes.
The first is(Homogenization) of Arabs, Muslims and Middle Easterns. The
second is Orientalism, an image of an erotic and uncontrollable Arabs, and the
third is Immigration. The study used literary analysis and qualitative research,
including content analysis of films released between 1997 and 2017 and the
characteristics based on the gender, color, nationality of the actor, language
and intonation, the use of traditional attire, association with terrorism , hostility
and aggression , and whether the characters are depicted as criminals and / or
victims. The results have shown a typical and shamelessly typical depiction of
3
Arab and Muslim figures that match the theme of homogenization and
Orientalism. Two other movies
provide strong commentary on immigration,
and racial discrimination. The conclusions suggest that stereotypes are evident
in Korean films and contribute to the prominent perception of Korean society
in consuming such negative image.
