Abstract(s)
A Sunshine Policy é uma das políticas de unificação sul-coreanas que desde há 22 anos,
com o apoio dos instrumentos de soft power no desporto, tenta promover o desejo de
unificação nacional com base na identidade étnica da lenda Hongik Ingan.
Nesta dissertação analisamos, a partir da presidência de Moon Jae In (2017 – presente),
como é que foi expressa a sua política de unificação nacional, ao recorrer à construção de
possibilidades de unificação em dois momentos dos Jogos Olímpicos de PyeongChang: 1) a
cerimónia de inauguração dos Jogos; 2) a equipa feminina de hóquei no gelo constituída por
atletas da Coreia do Norte e da Coreia do Sul.
Na Coreia do Sul, a vontade de unificar a Península Coreana tem vindo a alterar-se nos
últimos 10 anos, principalmente nas gerações mais jovens. De acordo com os dados
quantificados pelo Korea Institute for National Unification em 2017, 57.8% dos inquiridos
responderam que apoiava a unificação da Península Coreana (Lee, 2019c). Perante esta
realidade, qual o impacto da política de unificação nacional de Moon Jae In junto da
sociedade sul-coreana? A presidência de Moon Jae In preocupou-se com a criação de uma
imagem reconciliatória com a Coreia do Norte e com a propaganda política no desporto, com
a ideia de que a unificação da Península é possível, assim como é possível coexistir
pacificamente com a Coreia do Norte.
De que forma é que a organização dos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno em PyeongChang
influenciou a posição da sociedade sul-coreana face a uma potencial reunificação entre as
duas Coreias? De acordo com o estudo do canal de televisão sul-coreano SBS, 72.2% dos
inquiridos rejeitavam a inclusão da Coreia do Norte na equipa feminina de hóquei no gelo
(Kim, 2018f). Observar-se-á que a vontade de unificação nacional tem vindo a diminuir na
sociedade sul-coreana, principalmente quando esta é associada à identidade étnica.
The Sunshine Policy is one of the South Korean unification policies that, with the support of soft power instruments in sport for 22 years, tries to promote the hope for national unification based on the ethnic identity of the legend Hongik Ingan. From the President Moon Jae In mandate (2017 – present), we analyze how his national unification policy was expressed with the support of the constructions of unification possibilities during two moments of the PyeongChang Olympic Games: 1) the opening ceremony of the Games; 2) the ice hockey team with athletes from both Koreas. In the last 10 years, in South Korea, the need for the unification is changing, especially in younger generations. According to the Korea Institute for National Unification in 2017, 57.8% of respondents supported unification of the Korean Peninsula (Lee, 2019c). Given this reality, what is the impact of Moon Jae In's national unification policy in South Korean society? Moon Jae In's presidency tried to create a reconciliation image with North Korea and, with the support of politic propaganda in sports, tried to send two messages: the unification is possible and both Koreas can coexist pacifically. How did the organization of the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang influence the position of South Korean society in the face of a potential reunification between the two Koreas? According to a poll of SBS, South Korea TV station, 72.2% rejected a joint coalition ice hockey team with North Korea (Kim, 2018f). In this thesis, it is noted that the desire for national unification has been decreasing in South Korean society, especially when it is associated with ethnic identity.
