본 연구는 특정 집단의 기억이 공간적 스케일을 넘어 확산되는 과정에 주목하며 이의 원인과 지리적 함의를 찾고자 한다. 위안부의 역사는 한반도를 넘어 미국의 한인사회를 중심으로 회자되기 시작하여 2010년 뉴저지 주 팰리세이즈파크 공립 도서관 마당에 미국 최초의 위안부 기림비가 건립되는 결실로 이어졌다. 위안부 할머니들이 겪었던전쟁 범죄의 피해 경험이 제한된 스케일을 넘어 미국으로 확산되는 과정은 다양한 주체들에 의한 다층적 과정 및 정치적 목적이 내포되었음을 이해해야 한다. 본 연구는 위안부 기억의 초국적 확산 과정에 있어 미국 내 한인 이민자 집단의 역할에 대해 조명하며 그들의 미국 내 정치적 입지 확대 및 타 민족과의 정서적 연대에 있어 기억의 이식이 어떻게 개입되었는지를 분석하였다.

This study aims to raise our understanding of how memory of a social group is transnationally appropriated and utilized by other subjects. A collective sense of justice for comfort women has been handed to many Koreans either in Korea or in overseas countries since the early 1990s. In the U.S., the first comfort women monument was established in Palisades Park, New Jersey by Korean-Americans and local politicians as they wanted to strengthen the common sense of Korean ethnicity with the symbolic power of the memoryscape. Exploring the diffusion of comfort women memorials in the U.S., this study examines the complexity and multilayered structure of memory politics and its transnational mobility, which are connected to Korean-Americans’ struggle for belonging.
