사사주간지 타임이 선정한 20세기에 가장 영향력 있는 사람으로 선정된 아인슈타인. 타임지가 쟁쟁한 정치인이나 연예인, 예술가 등을 제치고 아인슈타인을 선정한 것은 그가 발표한 상대성이론의 영향력이 그만큼 크기 때문이다. 이러한 상대성이론의 영향력은 종종 다윈의 진화론이나 코페르니쿠스의 지동설이 사회와 문화전반에 걸쳐 작용한 충격과 비교되기도 한다. 하지만 상대성이론이 몰고 온 의식의 변화는 사실 그 이상이었다. 그렇다면 상대성 이론이 무엇이 길래 그러한 변화를 몰고 온 것일까?

This paper examines the origin of the current Nigerian Yoruba artistic and cultural tradition through ancient artifacts and creation myths centered on $Il{\acute{e}}-If{\acute{e}}$ (or $If{\acute{e}}$) located in the southwestern part of Nigeria and recognition of cultural relativity. In the oral tradition, kingdoms of Ijebu, Oyo, and Benin all have their origins in the ancient city of $Il{\acute{e}}-If{\acute{e}}$, the cradle of Yoruba culture. Their founders were sons of Oduduwa, the god of Yoruba. In this way, kingdoms built around $Il{\acute{e}}-Ife$ were closely connected with culture, religion, and society. In order to understand the Yoruba culture, research on $Il{\acute{e}}-Ife$, the source of their artistic and cultural traditions, is very important. The Yoruba are deeply rooted in $Il{\acute{e}}-Ife$. They have been steadily preserving their artistry since the beginning. They have been using it in their lives to this day for centuries. Their evidences are mythology and Ifa divination system. They are cultural heritages that represent the art of Yoruba and the spiritual culture. Ifa devination system is one of Yoruba traditions associated with Yoruba gods 'Eshu' and 'Ifa'. It has been conducted among the Yoruba until now. If the culture and civilization of Africa, including these Yoruba traditional customs, are deemed illogical and superstitious, it would mislead their efforts to preserve the origin in its original form. If so, one should understand the relativity of other cultures and civilizations and the need for diversity and flexibility of value standards to judge their cultures and civilizations.

지난해의 연장 속에서 환경문제와 함께 인간 복제문제, 상대성이론과 시간과 관련된 내용들, 노벨상과 관련된 대중서가 계속 소개될 것이다. 중요한 것은 외국서적을 단순히 번역할 뿐만 아니라 국내 저자가 저술한 책의 출간이 필요하다는 점이다.

We propose a new similarity measure based on relative membership function (RMF). In this paper, the RMF is suggested to represent the relativity between fuzzy subsets easily. Since the shape of the RMF is determined according to the values of its parameters, we can easily represent the relativity between fuzzy subsets by adjusting only the values of its parameters. Hence, we can easily reflect the relativity among individuals or cultural differences when we represent the subjectivity by using the fuzzy subsets. In this case, these parameters may be regarded as feature points for determining the structure of fuzzy subset. In the sequel, the degree of similarity between fuzzy subsets can be quickly computed by using the parameters of the RMF. We use Euclidean distance to compute the degree of similarity between fuzzy subsets represented by the RMF. In the meantime, we present a new linguistic approximation method as an application area of the proposed similarity measure and show its numerical example.

This paper reexamines ideas about linguistic relativity in the light of new interest in the theoretical climate. The original idea is based on the incommensurability of the semantic structures of different languages. On this view, language, thought, culture are deeply interconnected, so that each language might be associated with it a distinctive world view. Throughout this work I utilize the historico-epistemological standpoint to dissect the conceptual structure of this principle. In the introduction I will of for a justification of choice of the theme. Section 1 will address some essential definition of the linguistic principle and insist on the necessity to elaborate a typological spectrum of relativism and universalism. In the second section some important landmarks of linguistic relativity were marked from Plato to Humboldt via Condillac and Herder. 1 will subdivide the relativity hypothesis into 3 theses which are interlated. In the final section the epistemological structure of the linguistic principle will be analysed in some detail by providing my exposition of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. By way of conclusion I will present the works of Wierzbicka who demonstrated the lexicons of different languages suggest different conceptual universes. By rejecting analytical tools derived from the English language she proposed instead a natural semantic metalanguage based on lexical universals, which is made up of universal semantic primitives. In this paper we attempted to construct a general problematics of linguistic relativity, focolizing on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. We devided this very problematic question into its ontological and epistemological dimensions. In particular the ambivalance of Whorf's relativity is discussed in some detail. Also, an archeological survey of this subtle question on the relation between language, thinking and culture was provided. (from Aristotle to Humboldt, via Condillac and Nitzche). In conclusion this investigation underlines the necessity of preparing the cultural linguistics to enlarge the scope of contempory linguistics.

This essay focused on mapping out the next archiving model during 15 years. This metaphorical 'JINGU PROJECT' is titled from Shinto relation in Japan rebuilding every 20 years. We need some kinds of self sustainable growth archiving model. It means that it's time to say about our archiving experiences in field for archiving technics and knowledges. We should know the fact that a few thousands archivists have been acting ih fields. Since 1999, we have tried to build up the best practices in public offices. So far, So good. However, we need another wing for better flying from now on. I believe in the power of silences in field because they will speak up their voices.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning and the value of the cultural collage expressed in men's fashion. As for the research methodology, literary research was under taken to study psychoanalytical and socioeconomic contexts in which cultural collage has been formed. In addition, demonstrative studies in men's fashion were undertaken through the analysis of pictures. The cultural collage is defined as a phenomena of making creativity by combining cultures which have no relevance. In psychological and sociological aspects, the rise of the cultural collage is caused by multinational corporation, pluralization of identity, information society, consumer oriented production, consumer society and inundation of kitsch. On the basis of the characteristics and social backgrounds of cultural collage, the aesthetic values of men's fashion can be explained by pluralism de-generalization and relativity.

1905년은 아인슈타인의 일생 가운데 가장 생산적인 해였다. 그는 그 해에 특수 상대론, 광전효과, 브라운 운동 및 E=mc² 등 네편의 주옥같은 논문을 발표했다. 한국물리학회와 과학문화진흥회는 이를 기념하기 위하여 2005년 7월 1일부터 2006년 2월말 까지 창경원 옆에 있는 서울 과학관에서 아인슈타인 100주년 기념 전시회를 갖는다. 전시회는 1)아인슈타인의 생애 2)시간과 공간 3)빛, 파동 및 물질 4)아인슈타인의 우주 5)아인슈타인과 예술 등 다섯 가지 주제를 체험위주로 기획하고 있다. 관람객들이 특수 상대론을 설명이 아니라 체험함으로써 일상생활에서는 어떻게 이용되고 있는가를 알도록 전시장을 꾸미고 있다. 각 주제별로 그 내용을 스케치해본다.

본 연구는 기업가정신 글로벌비즈니스 세미나 과목의 과제로써 기업가정신이 무엇인지 확립하고 기업가정신과 연관 지을 수 있는 주제를 선정하여 스스로 연구함으로써 그 의미를 구체화 하고 새로운 패러다임을 제시하고자 하는데 의미가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 저자들은 '문화'가 갖는 상대성에 주목하여 기업가 정신을 해석하였으며 재학 중 배웠던 '홉스테드의 문화 특성' 이론과 접목시켜 문화가 기업가 정신에 어떤 영향을 끼치는지 연구하였다. 글로벌 기업가정신 모니터(GEM)의 글로벌 기업가 지수 순위 조사 결과와, 홉스테드 인사이트(Hofstede-insight)의 6가지 차원에 따른 국가별 문화지수 파일을 접목시켜 수치화하고, 시각적 그래프 및 엑셀 데이터 다중 회귀분석을 통하여 결과를 도출하였다. 홉스테드의 문화 특성이 기업가 정신 순위에 영향을 미칠 것이라고 가정하고 분석한 결과, 홉스테드의 6가지 차원 중 하나인 불확실성 회피성향이 기업가 정신에 가장 높은 영향을 미친다는 사실을 발견하였다. 이번 연구를 통해기업가 정신을 계승하는 기업문화를 제고하고 경제학과 인류학 통합 연구의 필요성을 제시한다.

In the post-modern society, creativity is redefined as a capability which collects a wide range of information and recombines them in diverse manners. With a such trend, the characteristics of collage - a method of making a creative image by combining pieces which have no relevance - is becoming prevalent in the post-modern culture. The purpose of this research is to develop a model which generates ideas in fashion design by use of collage techniques. With regard to research methodology, a literature survey was undertaken to find out and understand characteristics of collage. Analytic and positive studies were also done on the styles of fashion design of the 2003 SS collections to which collage techniques applied. In order to generate ideas in fashion design, the following mechanism using collage techniques can be used. Above all, pluralism is realized by collecting incoherent elements. Secondly, deconstruction is made by changing scales and configuration. Lastly, relativity is attained by using parts of ready-made goods and respecting their independency.
