Roland Barthes views a myth as a chain of connotative concepts that are mutually connected. For him, a myth appears through a chain connotation that is mutually related, due to the first-stage signification system. In other words, the connotation of a particular scene is already inherent in a culture in the form of social convention or social values before it is made. In the case of Disney animation, as mentioned Barthes, it has also two layers of denotation and connotation for signification. However, Disney animation shows the tendency that seek the denotative representation and the direct communication, based on the typified character, to the representation and delivery of the myth that is inherent. Therefore, the tendency of denotative signification is seen Disney animation can be said as a branch of research methodology for the approach to the aesthetics of Disney animation.

has become the representative program of EBS after first airing in 2004. After seeing as a media text, this study was fulfilled on the basis of Bill Nichols' "Rhetoric" discussion, in order to analyze the structural method and social meaning of the program. As a result of the study, we were first able to see that was taking form as a documentary to make a constructive statement on current affairs related to Korean society, by mobilizing 'knowledge' related to these issues. Second, the "rhetoric" plays an important role in the program's process to generate meaning, and despite the text being relatively short, the rhetorical process undergone for the generation of meaning has been fully reflected. Moreover, the program was successfully structuring a new method of generating meaning by enthusiastically raising questions and choosing a unique method of vision mix. Third, by looking at the study's results in-depth, we can see that was creating a ideological place for open discussion, which was providing viewers with the satisfaction of overcoming our society's dominating ideology and forming new ones. In that sense, the easily accessible 'knowledge'that surrounds us holds somewhat of a political meaning. On top of that, it can be seen that the program especially, is a media text that holds a cultural political meaning, which is an important factor to consider in the Korean broadcasting industry. In conclusion, we found out that this program uses 'knowledge' to see the possibility of 'knowledge'journalism by making constructive statements through a 'rhetorical' process.

현대인들은 매일 반복되는 일상 속에서 시간의 틀을 벗어나지 못한 채 항상 바쁘고 정신없이 살아간다. 이를 극복 못하는 것은 곧 실직을 의미하며, 그것은 자신의 사회적 존재가치를 상실했다는 의미가 아닐까 생각된다. 현대 물질 문명이라는 현실의 거대한 체제 아래서 물질이 종속적으로 인간을 지배함으로서 생기는 비인간화${\cdot}$익명화${\cdot}$공허감은 누구나 한 번쯤 느끼게 된다. ‘길(Way)' 이라는 것은 인생을 하나의 상징적 의미로 표현한 것이다. 현대인들은 성공이라는 인생을 목표를 향해 뒤돌아 볼 시간도 없이 너무 빠르게 앞으로 나아간다. 인생의 종착점은 누구나 알 수 없다. ’길(Way)' 이라는 작품을 통해 바쁘게 살아가는 현대인들의 삶을 한 번 돌이켜 보고자 한다.

Cultural meanings of somatization in Korea were summarized and discussed. Finally, clinical guide line for transcultural practice were summarized.

This study explores the trends and implications of social welfare qualitative research in Korea. The results are follows. At present, social welfare qualitative research is entering in the quickening period. The characteristics of configuration of social welfare qualitative research in Korea are overwhelming inferiority in post-positivism and heuristics, wide differences between universities in metropolitan area and in local area at the aspect of amounts of qualitative research products, rapid increase in the interests of qualitative research in doctoral candidates, and distinguishment of doctoral candidates as a leader group in qualitative research. The results of critics of qualitative researches are follow: 1) initiative of naturalistic interpretism 2) inclination of methodicism 3) poorness of critical themes 4) propensity in grounded theory. These trends of social welfare qualitative research in Korea, in spite of the limits, have various implications: 1) Trying to critics of social welfare knowledge based on positivism and formation of opposing discourse to positivism 2) diversification in paradigm of inquiry 3) spread of narrative thinking of social welfare phenomenon.

지식표현은 일반적으로 논리, 규칙, 프레임 또는 의미망 형태로 표현되며, 최근에는 의미망을 이용한 온톨로지 형태로 표현되고 있다. 이러한 지식표현 방법은 개념을 설명하는 문맥적인 정보나 개념들 간의 구조적인 정보를 이용하여 개념에 대한 지식을 논리적으로 표현하는데 중점을 두었다. 하지만, 지식표현에 사용되는 의미정보는 사람에 의해 수집되고 정제되기 때문에 많은 시간, 비용 및 인력이 필요하다는 한계가 있고, 새로운 의미를 추가하거나 기존의 의미를 수정하는 것이 매우 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 색채는 특정 대상이나 개념에 대한 의미, 연상, 상징 등 객관적인 특징 뿐 아니라 시대, 나라, 문화와 같은 사회적 배경을 반영하기 때문에, 정보를 제공하고 감성을 전달하는 효과적인 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은, 색채를 이용한 의미정보모델 구축을 위해, 색채정보를 수집하고 정량적으로 분석하는 방법을 제안한다. 긍정/부정/불안/중립으로 구성된 감성어휘 273개를 이용하여 이미지를 수집한 결과 총 130,944개의 이미지를 수집하였다. 이미지에는 여러 가지 사물, 행동, 배경, 색채 등 다양한 정보가 혼재되어 있어 감성어휘와 연관된 색채를 구별하기 어렵기 때문에 이미지를 직관적으로 설명할 수 있는 사용자 태그를 별도로 수집하였다. 태그는 총 2,836,395개를 수집하였고 각 이미지와 그룹에서의 가중치를 구하였다. 태그의 가중치를 통해 이미지가 그룹 내에서 갖는 중요도를 판별하였고, 각 그룹 별로 상위 30%의 이미지를 추출하여 대표 색채를 분석하였다.

This paper aims to analyze the meaning and conceptual tension contained in the definition of social services prescribed by recently amended Framework Act on Social Security(FASS) by examining various terminologies of social services in Korea. In Korea the term of social services has had at least four meanings since it has begun to be used during Participatory Government. Of these, the meaning of social services in FASS is closest to 'social serives as social-jobs'. While, as has this meaning, social services in FASS is defined as very comprehensive one, it also has its conceptual tension. On the one hand, FASS comes to have the orientation to include immensely wide fields such as welfare, health, employment, housing, culture and environment within social service. However on the other hand FASS still has the orientation to limit social services to traditional social welfare services. Unless re-amending the recently amended FASS, the conceptual tension resulted from these two conflicting orientations will be likely to continue. And this might raise the need both to reform the organization of Ministry of Health and Welfare and exiting delivery systems of social services and to develop theoretical and practical principles providing basis for tailored social services, which in turn poses important challenges to social welfare discipline. To meet these challenges it is necessary to cooperate between micro and macro approaches.

This study attempts to highlight the cultural importance of urban public space by analyzing the changes Tap-Gol Park from late 1990's to early 2000's, a park located in the heart of Seoul, underwent in its meanings and uses. Public space, a product of modern urban planning, is characterized by its openness and accessibility and represents the vitality of modern city, serving as a meeting place for citizens with different social backgrounds at such occasions as gatherings and festivals. While the government or a few dominant groups try to control the public and their behavior in public space by giving a specific meaning to it and specifying its use, people constantly set their foot in it and view the space as a place differently for each individual's personal or social reasons. It is therefore not very surprising that the meaning of public space has never been successfully defined. Following the traces of attempts to define the meaning of public space and considering how public space can be efficiently used will shed light on what types of groups, especially ages and classes participated in the contest for the use of public space and expressed their own cultures in urban society through various negotiations.

The purpose of this study is to examine the legal attribute of subsidiarity principle on the National Basic Livelihood Security Act. The principle of subsidiarity is applied to the regulation for 'fundamental principle of benefits' on the National Basic Livelihood Security Act, therefore it functions as legal theory. However, due to its both positive and negative characteristics it becomes to be interpreted and applied in a different meaning depending on the normative characteristics of related laws. In brief, as the passive meaning of subsidiarity principle guarantees the freedom of civilian by limiting national power, it is reasonable in social control norm like criminal law. However, as nation's active role of intervention and support is required in order to protect basic standard of human life according to the principle of Social(welfare)State, the active meaning of subsidiarity principle is reasonable in Social Security law, especially in public assistance. Hence, the principle of subsidiarity on the National Basic Livelihood Security Act becomes to realize, justice, goal fitness and legal stability when it is operated by system with interpreting in an active meaning.
