Reconstruction of Korean-Christian Experience in Post-Colonial Era
This thesis is a critique of Korean-Christian experiences in post-colonial era, and it suggests the method of getting over the ideology of Orientalism. Illustrating Orientalism as ‘discourse,’ this thesis criticizes the West’s “positional strength”over the East. In addition, almost all of imported knowledge from the West hides the discourse of Orientalism, and Koreans understand themselves through the eyes of the West. In the second part of this thesis, it introduces Lee Jung Young’s theological methodology. Chasing after his theology influenced by I-Ching, this writing argues that Korean-Christian experience of “in-between”can be transformed into that of “in-both,”and it is a possible way of overcoming Orientalism.
