프랑스 이주민 거주구역의 인구성격과 공간변화

초록

This article takes a case of Paris' 20th district which has reputation ofhighly concentrated immigrant population. The problematics of this casestudy are; transformation of identity for immigrants and their strategy ofadaptation, conditions of integration, paradox between 'integration'toward one mainstream culture and assumption about a juxtaposedexistence of different cultures, identity crisis for mainstream culture infront of immigrants' 'integration' etc. Paris' 20th district case is offeringalso transformation and transition of spatial identity with different stepsof historical dynamics intertwined with migrations in each different periodof time. More peculiar point in this case study would be the coexistence ofdifferent images about the same urban district where the ideas of'French cultural identity' prevail while another image about 'foreignmigrants' culture' can be also one of main characteristics attached onthe same places. In a conflictual situation of urban redevelopmentproject, these paradoxical elements about cultural identity for the samedistrict have been mobilized as strong discourse instruments. Conceptsrelated with 'multiculturalism' were employed there frequently. But thevery idea of 'cultural identity in crisis' provoked by the perspective ofmigrants'(especially non-European) integration/ or resistance to integrationcould not resolve the roots of conflicts.
