The purpose of this paper is to reveal aspects of the dialogue between individuals involved in the “new Zainichi-Chousenjin movement” and others who are participating in the “conventional Zainichi-Chousenjin movement.” The nature of any barriers and other conditions shaping the dialogue between the majority and the minority will be examined.While the “new Zainichi-Chousenjin movement” focuses on diversity and hybridity, the “conventional Zainichi-Chousenjin movement” focuses on unifying the divided homeland and protecting the rights of Zainichi-Chousenjin. This paper begins by examining the life story of Naohito Yasuda, the founder of “Group Param,” in terms of “descriptive self expression.” Thereafter, it looks at past studies regarding the “new Zainichi-Chousenjin movement,” and offers a critique both of their methodology and of their understanding of the movement. In this section, this paper draws on Bakhtin’s dialogue theory, and especially the “authoritative/ internally persuasive utterance relationship,” in an effort to overcome the pitfalls of past studies. Finally, this paper reviews and analyzes an argument between Yasuda and Hidetoshi Nakagawa (an assumed name), a Japanese teacher who is involved in the education of Zainichi-Chousenjin, and uses their argument to draw conclusions with regard to the above. In this argument, Yasuda and Nakagawa speak respectively from the perspectives of “descriptive self expression” and “movement principle,” and of “manner” and “politics.” In this respect, it can be said that their argument was not centered on the dialogic relationship, but on the “authoritative utterance relationship.” Some of what Yasuda is saying, however, suggests the possibility of creating a dialogue. Yasuda’s “descriptive self expression” is characterized by “internally persuasive utterances” which invoke tensions and combative emotions in his readers.
