Abstract

This study aims to explore the direction of Christian public practice in the post-COVID era, seeking to overcome the uncanny feeling caused by increased division and exclusion during the pandemic period. Firstly, we will investigate the unequal impact of COVID-19 on the labor market and examine ways to achieve economic justice in the post-COVID era. Subsequently, we will deliberate the role of Christianity in establishing publicness in the digital world and virtual spaces. Finally, viewing COVID-19 as a catastrophe caused by an anthropocentric worldview and exploitation driven by greed, we will explore the tasks of Christianity to overcome the crisis of the Anthropocene. Christian public practice should fulfill its mission of care and stewardship not only in social context but also in an ecological dimension. The author proposes "planetary citizenship education" for a harmonious relationship between human species and the Earth they inhabit.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 팬데믹 기간 타자에 대한 경계, 배제와 분열이 심화된 것이 언캐니(uncanny)와 '타자의 논리'라는 심리·사회적 기제와 관련이 있다고 보고 언캐니를 극복하고 연대로 나아갈 수 있는 기독교 공적 실천의 방향성을 모색한다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 먼저, 코로나19가 노동시장에 미친 영향이 계층과 집단별로 불평등하게 전개되었다는 측면에 주목하며, 포스트코로나 시대 경제정의 실현 방안을 살펴본다. 이어서 코로나19가 야기한 사회문제를 고찰하고 디지털 세계와 가상공간에서의 공공성 확립을 위한 기독교의 역할을 생각해 본다. 끝으로 코로나19는 인간중심적인 세계관과 탐욕으로 인한 무분별한 개발이 초래한 재앙이라 보며, "인류세(anthropocean)"의 위기를 극복하기 위해 기독교가 기여해야 할 바를 조망해본다. 결론 및 제언 : 기독교 성육신의 영성은 자기비움, 공감적 소통, 자-타아의 경계를 초월한 연합의 정점으로서 코로나 세대 기독교 공적 실천의 토대가 된다. 포스트코로나 시대 기독교 공적 실천은 하나님, 사람, 자연의 완전한 사귐이 실현되도록 생태학적 차원에서 돌봄과 관리의 소명을 다하여야 한다. 이를 위해 필자는 인류종 전체와 그들이 거주하는 지구와의 조화로운 관계를 고민하는 행성시민교육을 제안한다.
