『Namaste』was classified into the literature of ‘post modern enlightment’ in this study. Through a formalistic study on 『Namaste』, it was reported that the contents of ‘post modern enlightment’ are relevant to criticism of social problems, respection on others and otherness, and organization of a new subject. Namaste is accusing ‘Korean dream’ and ‘American dream’ by disturbing 'narrative' and 'focalization'. It states that capitalistic properties such as ‘anger, ignorance and desire’ interrupt comumuction with others. 『Namaste』describes repeatedly through metaphors that hospitality to others is essential to receiving multi-cultural society. The reason on highlighting of others is to emphasize that our ethics should be changed to fit in well with a multi-cultural society. 『Namaste』sets 2021 as the present tense. However the practical time background is the present space where many immigrant labors in Korea is working under a work permit system and industrial trainee system. Therefore 2021 is fictional space where mixed-race children as subjects and languages as varieties are reterritorialized. The formalism is the result of author's desire. In conclusion, the narratives in 『Namaste』 is formation of ‘post modern enlightment’.
