This paper will concentrate on how various particular Southeast Asian conditions created a distinct Southeast Asian cultural identity despite a very challenging geographical and historical diversity in the region. The paper will argue that Southeast Asians demonstrate an ability to adapt to changes and new values but also exhibit fatalism through a very high degree of passive acceptance to political and other changes that affect their society. The paper identifies a degree of environmental and geographical uniqueness in Southeast Asia that shapes context and gives rise to very distinct cultural traits. The historical transformation in the region brought about by colonialism and nationalism, combined with this geographical and political make-up of the region, had an immense impact on Southeast Asian society as it fostered adaptability. Finally, the political transitions brought about by various conflicts and wars that continued to affect the area in rapid succession all throughout the 20^th century likewise contributed immensely to a local Southeast Asian fatalistic response towards change. Historically, Southeast Asia demonstrated these socio-cultural responses to such an extent that these are argued to permeate the region forming a distinct aspect of Southeast Asian culture.

This paper aims at analyzing Robert Southey's Thalaba the Destroyer in relation to cultural colonialism of the British Romantic period and investigating the ways in which this text portrays the Other through its literary representation of the East. Especially, this paper attempts to show that the Oriental world constructed in Southey's text reveals the imperial subject's self-conscious awareness of its unstable relation with the unknown Other. For this purpose, this paper attends to the formal aspects of Thalaba the Destroyer, examining the process by which the reader's generic expectations about the "epic" undergo complex revisions and frustrations through reading this text. The epic elements contained in Thalaba the Detroyer include the battle between good and evil and the hero's moral epiphany arising from his struggle against malicious enemies. Yet, Thalaba the Destroyer constantly destabilizes the distinction between self and other by leading the reader to recognize the uncomfortable similarity between the poem's tyrannical figures and imperialistic monarchs in the Western civilization. Thus, when the hero enacts a revolution against despotism, the resistant power points not only to the imagined false kingdom within the text, but to the core of the real Empire that seeks to construct its own "garden" in the global scene. In addition, Southey's "panoramic" description of Oriental objects and stories in his footnotes lacks a framing perspective, erasing and de-stabilizing subject/object distinctions. In these footnotes, he exposes his profound attraction to the culture of "Other" and also conveys his aspiration to transforming Eastern myths and stories into profitable literary texts. Southey's attitude to the East in the footnotes appears to be partially grounded upon the interest of mercantile capitalists of the West, who need to discover potential commodities. Yet, simultaneously, he reveals a sense of moral hesitation about his own desire for the materiality of the East, along with deep anxiety arising from the fear of punishment.

이 논문은 지역방송 내부 식민지화의 중심에 사장선임을 위시한 지배구조가 자리하고 있다는 데 주목했다. 그 실체를 파악하기 위해 1990년대 중반에서 2015년 사이 MBC 지역계열사 17개사와 지역민방 9개사, 총 26개 지역방송사의 사장과 주주 이사 구성을 취합 분석했다. 이와 함께 지역방송 인력과 운영현황, 그리고 그 문제점을 검토 논의했다. 이를 통해 지역방송의 내부 식민지화가 작동하는 방식을 규명했다. 지역MBC는 서울본사의 필요를 우선순위에 둔 지배구조가, 지역민방은 소유와 경영 분리 미흡에 따른 대주주의 전횡이 제작과 인력 부문의 투자 제약요소로 작용하면서 내부 식민지화가 가동되고 있었다. 이어 이 논문은 지역방송 사장선임을 비롯한 지배구조 개선방향을 법 제도와 방송사 자율규제 차원에서 제안했다. 법 제도적으로는 방송법상의 지역방송 편성규약 단서조항 신설을 비롯해 관련법령인 지역방송발전지원특별법, 방송광고판매대행 등에 관한 법률, 방송통신위원회의 설치 및 운영에 관한 법률 개정안을 구체적으로 제시했다. 자율규제로는 지역MBC의 경우 사장선임추천위원회 운용과 방송문화진흥회 이사의 3분의 1을 지역인사로 구성하는 방안, 지역민방은 소유와 경영의 분리를 출발점으로 한 공공성 회복과 사장 사외이사추천위원회 도입 등을 제안했다.

현대사회는 지식$\cdot$정보사회이며, 도서관은 지식과 정보가 전달되는 중요한 경로 중의 하나이다. 그렇지만 여러 가지 요인에 의해 도서관의 장서는 그 생산과 수집, 그리고 축적의 과정에서부터 편견과 왜곡으로 인한 굴절과 편향을 멀 수밖에 없었으며. 그것은 결과적으로 도서관이 현대사회의 지식$\cdot$정보의 유통기관으로서의 본질을 흐리게 만드는 주된 요인이 되어왔다. 이 연구는 장서연구의 필요성과 주요 해결 과제, 그리고 그 방법론에 대한 고찰이다. 장서 연구는 도서관장서의 축적 과정에 초점을 맞추어 그 장서가 편향성을 띠어 가는 과정을 추적하고 그 편향성의 현단계를 밝히는 작업이 그 출발점이 되어야 할 것이다.

Since returning to power in 2012, the second Abe administration has pressured Japanese mainstream media in various ways, from creating the Secrecy Act to forming close relationships with media executives and promoting anti-journalism voices on social media. This article focuses on the growth of a jingoist group called the 'Net-rightists' ('Neto-uyo' in the Japanese abbreviation) on the Internet, which has been supporting the right-wing government and amplifying its historical revisionist views of Japanese colonialism. These heavy Internet users deny Japan's war crimes against neighboring Asian countries and disseminate fake news about the past, which justifies Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's hostile diplomatic policies against South Korea and China. Over the past years, the rightist online discourses have become powerful to such an extent that the editorials of major newspapers and TV reports shifted to more nationalist tones. Who are the Neto-uyo? Why have they emerged from the online world and proliferated to the offline world? Two significant characteristics of new media are discussed to analyze their successful media manipulation: cultural transcoding and perpetual rewriting of collective memories. These characteristics have resulted in constructing and reinforcing the data loops of the 'Daily Us' versus Them, technologically raising current diplomatic tensions in East Asia.

At the turn of the century in which European colonialism was reaching its zenith and modernization was gathering speed, public museums were institutionalized. This paper looks into the part these European modern museums played in territorializing academic disciplines like anthropology and art history. The museums to deal with are the British Museum and the National Gallery in London, Mus?e du Louvre in Paris, and Museumsinsel in Berlin. Rather than in-depth detailed analysis of each museum, the aim is to explore the ways in which these museological institutions interacting with modern disciplines in the wider colonial context objectified other cultures and formulated a framework of the world through classification and comparison of material things, on the basis of the judgement of their artistic values. This exploration is also to rethink theoretical positions and perspectives on the museum in Korea. It is remarkable in Europe that such academic fields as history, art history, anthropology and cultural studies look for new possibilities of museology in conjunction with the recent proliferation of studies on the museum as a medium to construct and deconstruct knowledge. Meanwhile, the mammoth European museums which are often considered a stronghold of museology advocate the 'universal museum' themselves, quite the modern idea but in a revised rendering. Under these circumstances, this paper seeks to shed light on the definition of the museum as an arena in which scholarly discourses about art, culture and history can be created and contested, on the effectiveness of the museum as a communication medium in a postcolonial era, and on the need to pay trans-disciplinary attention to the museum in its broadest sense.

In Reservation Blues, Sherman Alexie examines how Indians can survive successfully in contemporary America, overcoming the tragic history of colonialists' violence and the resultant traumata. For Alexie, both reassembling the parts of the colonialist history through remembrance and testifying its unjustness play important roles not only in the decolonization process which probes the remnants and the negative effects of the colonialism deeply rooted in the lives of Indians but in the procedure of healing the political, cultural, and religious traumata. However, it should be noted that the ultimate aim of Alexie's decolonization does not lie in erasing every trace of the colonialism but in transforming its legacy into a story of survivance. The recovery of the tribal voices and the preservation of Indian traditions, blood, and cultures are essential in the survivance of Indians. Yet, Alexie's tribalism should not be viewed as an exclusive one. He knows well that it is neither possible nor desirable to maintain an exclusive tribalism based on blind adherence to a mythic or "pure" past. Exclusive tribalism is a cause for alarm in the contemporary world, a dynamic place where diverse cultures consistently change through collision, exchange, and negotiation. In Reservation Blues, Alexie stresses a spiritual and cultural flexibility that makes the cultural interpenetration possible as a key element of the meaningful survivance of contemporary American Indians.

This paper deals with one of the hottest debates in the history of the Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) since its inception in the late 1960s. In 1998 at Hawai'i, the AAAS awarded Lois-Ann Yamanaka its Fiction Award for her novel Blu's Hanging, only to have this award protested. The point at issue was the inappropriate representation of Filipino American characters called "Human Rats" in the novel. This event divided the association into two groups: one criticizing the novel for the problematic portrayal of Filipinos in colonial Hawai'i, and the other defending it from the criticism in the name of aesthetic freedom. Such a "crisis of representation" in Asian American identity reflects on the ways in which local Hawaiians are positioned in the complicate power dynamic between oppositional Hawaiian identity and cosmopolitan diasporic identity within the larger framework of Asian American pan-ethnic identity. The controversial event triggered the eruption of Asian Americans' anxiety over the identity-bounded nation of Asian America where intra-racial classism and conflict have been at play, which are primary themes of Blu's Hanging. This paper shows how Yamanaka's Blu's Hanging becomes so disturbing a work to prevent the hegemonic formality of Asian America identity from being fully dogmatic. Ultimately, it contradicts the political unconscious of the reading public and unmasked its false consciousness by engendering a "free subjective intervention" in the ideological reality of colonial Hawai'i.

Land reform was performed in most under-developed countries after liberation from colonialism. In Griffin's thesis, the objectives of the land reform were classified in to three categories based on their ideology. Under capitalist ideology, emphasis was placed on the property ownership, so there has been existed large farms and various tenancy systems. But in this study the characteristics of capitalism was defined as deligence and thrift, and parity exchange. Land reform, tenants must have their own land, is the basic solution to support these characteristics.

본 연구는 영화 <아가씨>에서 변형된 시공간과 캐릭터를 통해 흥행 요인을 분석하고자 한다. 원작 소설이 있는 영화는 소설의 내러티브를 기초로 영화의 경험재적 특성을 감소시켜 관람 욕구를 유도한다. 본 영화는 소설의 배경인 빅토리아 시대와 다른 일제강점기를 선택하여 식민주의 남성성의 특징을 구현하는 캐릭터를 만들고, 남성에게 억압받는 여성들이 계급성을 초월하여 탈주하는 내용으로 변형하였다. 이를 통해 원작소설의 동성애 요소가 여성의 성장과 연대로 치환되어 부정적 요소를 감소시켰다. 또한 영화 개봉 시기 발생한 여성 대상 범죄의 젠더 담론은 캐릭터들의 공감 요소를 증대시키고 영화의 주제와 부합하였다. 그외 감독과 배우의 스타시스템과 영화 예고편의 효과적 공개 마케팅, 영화제 진출작 선정을 흥행 요인으로 볼 수 있다. 영화는 소설의 각색을 통해 다원적인 창작 역량을 증대하고 관객의 공감 요인을 확대한다. 흥행하는 각색 영화의 차별성은 변형된 내용이 창의적이면서도 시공간을 초월하는 보편적 인식과 상응할 수 있는 주제를 내포하고 매체적 특성을 효과적으로 표현하는 데 있다.
