  • This paper aims to analyze the influences of the socio-cultural environment on discourse in translation. To illustrate a deep connection between discourses and societies in which they were produced, communicative patterns of high- and low-context cultures are examined. Though the original version of the translated text comes from a different culture, the translation reflects communicative preferences of the target culture. To uncover some of these preferences, a comparative study of two translations from Russian into English and from English into Russian is conducted. This study, together with further investigation of some more recent translations into Russian, revealed a number of choices affected by translators' cultural background (for example, making the translation more emotionally charged) and current ideological preferences in the society (excessive use of anglicisms).

  • 본 연구는 한국과 영국 교복 광고들 속에서 광고의 의미가 어떻게 구성되고 다양한 재현들이 무엇을 의미하는가를 고찰하고, 광고를 둘러싸고 전개된 담론들, 특히 성 담론에 주목하면서 양국의 문화적 함의의 차이를 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국의 <스쿨룩스>와 영국의 <아메리칸 어패럴>의 교복 광고들을 분석 대상으로 선정했고 다양한 기호학적 분석 방법들을 활용했다. 기호의 2차 의미 생성 과정 분석, 즉 기표와 기의, 함축 의미와 이데올로기의 단계적 의미들을 도출하고자 하였다. 또한 비판적 담론 분석을 시도하여 광고 텍스트의 의미와 담론적 의미 및 이데올로기적 실천 의미를 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 이들 두 나라의 학생 교복 광고들에는 여성 상품화, 남녀의 권력 불균형, 아동 성애자적 접근 등의 부정적 양태와 교복의 본연의 의미와 가치가 왜곡된 경향이 드러났다. 나아가 교복 광고를 둘러싼 양국의 담론들에 대한 비판적 담론 분석을 토대로 양 국가에서 잠재되어 있는 왜곡된 성적 대상화와 상업화를 통한 비정상적인 미적 가치 변형 양상과 '롤리타 판타지'가 만연되어 있음이 나타났다. 나아가 변태적 성적 취향으로 인해 학생들에게 성적 정체성의 혼란과 가치관의 혼돈을 야기하고 있는 것을 발견하였다.

  • This study examines cultural differneces in psychosocial maturity experiences between collectivistic and individualistic cultures. Personal, relational, and social dimensions were assessed to explore psychosocial maturity experience of elderly Korean residents in Korea and Canada who were psychosocially well developed through in-depth interviews and a content analysis. According to the results, there were diverse similarities and differences in the psychosocial maturity of elderly Korean residents between the two cultures. First, psychosocially mature elderly residents in both cultures showed positive self-concept and self-satisfaction. However, there were differences in their meaning. Second, in terms of interpersonal relations, the most important and satisfying relationship was the spousal relationship for both cultures, and relationships with children were satisfying. However, there were differences in the meaning of relationships between the two cultures as well as gender differences. Third, psychosocially mature elderly residents in both cultures reported psychosocial factors such as mature aging as a social dimension. Elderly residents in Korea regarded mature aging as a relationship oriented phenomenon, whereas those in Canada reported social attitudes toward mature aging. In addition, elderly residents in both cultures reported greed and harm to others as immature aging. Elderly residents in Korea regarded relational discord as immature aging, whereas those in Canada regarded it as demanding adult treatment from future generation. In terms of transcendence, adjustment was reported as living by going with the flow. Elderly residents in Korea reported adjustment based on fatalism, whereas those in Canada showed some religious meaning. Finally, psychosocially mature elderly residents showed a positive view, acceptance and life integration. These results are discussed from the perspective of cultural differences.

  • 현대에 들어와 문화에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있지만, 문화와 인간성의관계에 대한 논의는 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있다. 문화는 인간성의 형성과 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것이 서구의 전통적인 생각이었으나, 현대의 문화상대주의적인 경향으로 인해 현대의 철학은 개개 문화가 지니는 인간성 형성 및 도덕적의미에 대해 크게 관심을 쏟지 않는다. 반면, 후설은 문화의 보편성을 주장하면서 문화보편주의적 관점에서 이른바 이상적인 도덕적 문화공동체를 추구한다. 이의 역사적, 철학적 근거가 되는 것이 고대 그리스에서 등장한 철학적 문화이다. 이 철학적 문화는 참된 인간성의 이념을 추구하면서 온 인류를 포괄하는 보편적인 도덕공동체의 정립을 지향하며 나름의 역사적인 타당성을 지닌다. 고대그리스의 철학적 문화는 인류가 나아가야 할 건전한 문화공동체의 이념을 보여주면서 문화가 도덕적 인간성의 실현에 어떤 영향을 끼치는 지 잘 보여준다는것이 후설의 생각이다. 그러나 이러한 후설의 철학적 문화에 기반한, 낙관적인도덕적 문화공동체의 이념은 하나의 이상일 뿐 현실성이 없다는 반론에 부딪힌다. 대표적으로 니버는 아무리 개인이 도덕적이라고 하더라도 공동체는 결코 도덕적일 수 없다는 주장을 편다. 니버의 주장은 일면 타당성이 있지만, 문화가지니는 도덕적, 연대적인 성격을 간과하고 있다는 점에서 한계를 보인다. 후설의 철학적 문화공동체의 이상은 따라서 이것이 문화공동체의 성격을 지니는 한여전히 현대에서도 현실적 타당성을 지닌다.

  • 전근대사회의 풍수는 마을주민들에게 있어서 오늘날의 문화생태적 환경과 같은 의미로 쓰였다. 마을사람들은 마을의 국지환경에 대해 풍수형국이라는 상징체계로 관계를 맺고 대응하였다. 마을 풍수를 통한 문화생태적 기능은 마을의 공간적 입지 규정, 인구 유입, 마을공동체의 생산 건축 활동 및 토지이용규제, 마을의 환경수용능력 규준, 환경관리, 주민공동체의 집단적 환경 의식 및 태도 형성 등으로 나타났다. 마을 풍수는 자연환경에 대한 주민들의 문화적 적응전략으로서, 마을의 지속가능한 환경시스템을 유지하기 위한 동아시아의 전통적인 문화생태적 방식이자 지식체계라고 평가할 수 있다.
