  • The purposes of this study were to arrange and analyze the Oriental Mode in 20th century fashion and to clarify that Oriental dress and its ornaments appearing as the main subject of Occident fashion gradually The results were as follows : First, Oriental Mode in 1900-1950s was prescribed as the 'Orientalism' to be expressed Occidental imperialistic viewpoint. Therefore, the Orient was used as the simple recording mark of the imperialism product or commercial motive and it was reflected in fashion. Second, it was explained in 1960-1970s as the 'Folklore Orientalism' that focus was moved into the folklore costume of Orient. Third, in 1980s, 'Ethnic' was conspicuous that reflected the traditional costume in the area of non-christianity. Especially, it was the decade that the Middle East attracted attention. Fourth, Oriental Mode in 1990s appeared as the 'Fusion' that Oriental and Occidental elements were mixed and compromised on equal terms. Fifth, it was expressed as a word 'Zen' that had natural fiber, moderate color and silhouette to be most basic and concise about human body at the end of 1990s. This study could confirm that the center of fashion was being converted into the Orient gradually. This may be understood as the pluralistic culture phenomenon. Namely, eclectic principle to recognize mutual style and individualistic nature and to utilize and mix was made, and this brought the conversion into Oriental sense of value.

  • Kim, Doo-jong wrote "History of Korean Medicine", which was based on the historical view of Japanese Imperialism, insisting that Korea had stagnated and should be stimulated by others because it had no ability to improve by itself. To meet his opinion, he distorted and fabricated Korean Medical History to justify his past and work as Lee, Byung-Do did on Korean History. This paper intended to reveal his distortion and fabrication on the ancient Korean Medical History. Firstly, he insisted that Korean medicine had stagnated till other neighbor medicine, that is, Chinese medicine, Indian medicine, Japanese medicine and European medicine stimulated its progress. Secondly, he insisted that the Korea peninsula has been the Korean territory all through its history, which was originally forged by the Japanese Imperialists. He adopted this theory to justify his past and work. Thirdly, he insisted that Korea was effected by the European medicine a long time ago. Even though the European medicine was not skillful at that time compared with Korean medicine, he adopted this theory to justify his past and work. Lastly, he had a wrong recognition on culture and religion, which he just used to justify his past and work. Profound study and research are required to eliminate his distortion and write the history of Korean medicine correctly.

  • There have been great controversies over making English as an official language in Korea. They have been triggered since some scholars published books and articles claiming that officialization of English is the best option for Korean people who spend significant amount of their life time to learn English. Those who are happy about the idea believe that officialization of English will be a good help for Korean people to gain a high degree of English proficiency, while others worry about possible negative impact on Korean language and culture. There are more diverse views and opinions on this issue. The distance between pros and cons about officialization of English doesn't seem to be negotiated. This study has been conducted not for finding the solution to the controversies. It is for understanding how those whose successful career and high living quality depend on gaining high command of English feel about acknowledging English as an official language of Korea. The results show that overall ideas on the officialization of English of research subjects are similar with those of scholars in academia. Around two third of total number of the research subjects expressed their criticism against the idea. One interesting thing is that all of the subjects, regardless their positions, think that there are serious problems in English education policy and system in Korea.

  • This paper aims to look into various symbolic meanings of the body shown in the film, Avatar (2009, James Cameron), and to ponder over a variety of media strategies carried by the pursuit of the corporality shown in this film. In a nutshell, the body in Avatar is a symbol of primitiveness rather than civilization, and the body language is a fundamental and effective means of communication much better than verbal language. A variety of physical contacts that appeared in many scenes of the movie emphasizes the role of the body as a means of real communication. Also, in the composition of the film dominated by the confrontation of civilization, numerous creatures in the planet Pandora with a variety of colors as well as a number of agencies and large body sizes express primitive richness. The narrative of the film telling the story of a 'moving' body ultimately emphasizes the superiority of the body with respect to consciousness, unlike the narrative of conventional movies dealing with the problems of the body. In addition, the corporality pursued by this film implies several important media strategies. It may reveal a self-reflection of the material civilization and the imperialism, or, on the contrary, an attempt to conceal or dilute them. It may also represent a self-reflection of the overdeveloped media technology, or simply the dilution of it. Finally, it may be an attempt to recover the feeling of "presence", not fully supported by the 3D technology, by the identification of the spectator's body and the character's body.

  • Due to Japanese imperialism's invasion of Korea and the policy of exterminating national culture, many independence activists from Korean medicine participated in the Manchurian Independence Army activities and the fight for freedom. Kang Woo-kyu, who threw a bomb at the governor-General of Korea on September 2, 1919, can be cited as a leader who learned East Asian medicine. Kim Kwanje, who organized a secret organization by opening an East Asian medicine clinic in Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do, was involved in the struggle of the medical corps while working as a medical student. He is accused of providing a shelter by treating members of the Uiryeoldan. In 1919, the Manchurian Independence Army unit, which launched the March 1st Movement armed struggle, was established, and those who served as military doctors in various organizations can be found. Park Se-jung, who participated as an independent soldier at the age of 47, treated wounded soldiers and patients as a military doctor. A branch office was also created by raising military funds and participating in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. Jang Hyong was able to raise independent military funds, campaign for the provisional government's independence petition, and lecture across the country mostly disguised as an East Asian medicine doctor, which led to several imprisonments for "fraud charges under the guise of similar medical practices".

  • 이 연구는 세계적으로 가장 유명한 박물관으로 꼽히는 대영박물관이 개관 당시부터 인삼을 주요 전시품으로 취급하고 있었음을 학술적으로 규명했다. 대영박물관은 영국의 저명한 의사이자 과학자, 수집가인 한스 슬론(Hans Sloane, 1660-1753)의 유언에 따라 그의 컬렉션을 토대로 건립된 것으로, 인삼을 비롯한 '식물성 물질 표본(Vegetable Substances specimens)'이 그 핵심에 놓여 있었다. 이 글에서는 먼저 슬론이 방대한 컬렉션을 모으는 과정을 재구성하면서 영국의 초기 제국주의와 본초학, 수집과의 관계를 밝혔다. 대영박물관에 전시되었던 인삼 표본 4개--Radix Ginseng or ninzin from China (VS 532)/ Ginseng. Id (VS 8,198)/ Roots & seeds of Gin-seng (VS 7,825)/ Ginseng root (VS 12,140)--의 출처와 입수 경로를 추적하였다. 이들은 각각 중국, 일본, 북아메리카에서 온 것으로, 각각 고려인삼, 죽절삼, 화기삼으로 추정된다. 당시의 영향력 있던 인쇄물을 통해 인삼이 대영박물관의 주목할 만한 전시품으로 대중들에게 홍보되었으며, 영국에서는 화기삼이 고려인삼에 비해 열등한 평가를 받고 있었다.

  • The South Korean ethnic diaspora US lobby shows efficacy as an interest group in generating influence in American foreign and domestic public policy making. The persuasive portrayal of South Korea as a critical Cold War US ally reinforced US amenability to pro-South Korea lobbying. Also, the South Korean US diaspora is a comparatively recent immigrant group, thus its lingering resistance to assimilation facilitates its political mobilization to lobby the US government. One source of this influence includes the foundational legacy of proselytizing Western and particularly American religious social movement representatives in Korean religiosity and society. US protestant Christianity acquired a strong public association with emerging Korean nationalism in response to Japanese imperialism and occupation. Hostility towards Japanese colonialism followed by the threat from Soviet-sponsored, North Korean Communism meant Christianity did not readily become a cultural symbol of excessive external, US interference in South Korean society by South Korean public opinion. The post-Cold War shift in US foreign policy towards targeting so-called rogue state vestiges of the Cold War including North Korea enhanced further South Korea's influence in Washington. Due to essential differences in the perceived historical role of American influence, extrapolation of the South Korean development model is problematic. US hegemony in South Korea indicates that perceived alliance with national self-determination constitutes the core of soft power appeal. Civilizational appeal per se in the form of religious beliefs are not critically significant in promoting American polity influence in target polities in South Korea or, comparatively, in the Middle East. The United States is a perceived opponent of pan-Arab nationalism which has trended towards populist Islamic religious symbolism with the failure of secular nationalism. The pronounced component of evangelical Christianity in American core community nationalism which the Trump campaign exploited is a reflection of this orientation in the US.

  • 이 글은 근대시기 일본의 한국인식을 당대의 한국 담론과 교과서 콘텐츠를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 민족성, 역사인식, 한국의 사회상으로 주제를 설정하고 교육 잡지를 중심으로 각 주제에 관해 형성되었던 담론과 이들 담론들이 투영된 교과서 교사용 지도서의 서술내용들을 살펴보았다. 민족성에 관해서는 나태 무기력 미개라는 단어로 대표되는 부정적 측면에서 인식하는 성향이 강하게 나타났다. 그리고 한국 역사를 수동적, 타율적 성격으로 규정하고 무능한 국가운영으로 인해 부정적 민족성이 형성되었다고 보고 있다. 그리고 더 나아가서는 독립을 유지할 능력이 없는 한국은 일본과 동양의 평화를 위협하는 존재이며 결국은 한일강제병합에 이르렀다는 것이 한국 역사에 대한 인식이다. 또한, 일본이 한국사회를 평가하는 척도는 서구식 문명화였으며 한국사회의 모습을 문명 문화의 정도가 낮은 전근대적 사회로 규정하고 있었다. 근대시기 일본에서 형성된 한국에 대한 담론에는 근대국가로 탈바꿈한 일본의 자신감과 제국주의의 길을 걷게 된 일본의 지배이데올로기가 강하게 반영되어 있었고 이와 같은 담론은 교과서와 지도서를 통해서 학생들에게 확산되고 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라에서 거의 소멸된 면화재배의 지역적인 축소 과정을 확인하고, 현재 농촌에서 이루어지는 면화재배의 의미를 파악하였다. 해방 이후 우리나라의 면방직 공 업은 원면도입으로 해외 원료 의존형 산업이 되었다. 환율정책으로 국내면 가격이 미국산 원조면보다 비싸지고, 정부의 식량증산 위주의 농업정책, 유통구조 등으로 인해 국내면의 재 배면적이 감소되기 시작하였다. 국내 면 재배 면적 감소의 지역적인 과정은 일차적으로 기 후조건이 면화재배에 불리한 지역에서 먼저 나타나 식량 밭작물로 대체되었고, 이후 재배 유인력이 더욱 약해짐에 따라 재배 발원지를 제외한 다른 지역에서는 거의 소멸되고 있었 다. 현재 농촌에서 면화는 이불솜 을 위한 자가 소비용, 식용, 약용외에 다른 작물의 생산성 을 높이기 위한 부작물로서 재배되고 있음이 확인되었다. 재배방법은 종래와 큰 차이가 없 이 행해지고 있었으며 노동집약적으로 생산되고 있다. 농민의 면화에 대한 애착이 강하고, 국내면으로 만든 이불솜을 선호하는 소비자들의 수요가 아직 있음이 확인되어, 정부의 정책 적인 배려와 함께 시장이 확보될 경우 국내면이 앞으로도 재배될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주 고 있었다.

  • 효창공원은 조선시대 문효 세자와 생모 의빈 성씨, 순조의 후궁 숙의 박씨와 영온 옹주의 묘가 있었던 왕실 묘역이었다. 고종대에 효창묘에서 효창원으로 격상되었다. 일제는 왕실묘역이었던 효창원을 훼손하여 공원으로 만들었으며, 1944년에는 효창원의 왕실묘역을 서삼릉으로 이장하였다. 해방 후 중경에서 돌아온 김구는 효창공원의 비어있던 공간에 독립운동자 묘역을 조성하였다. 삼의사묘, 임시정부 요인 묘가 그것이다. 김구 자신도 1949년 서거 후 효창 공원에 묻혔다. 이승만 정권, 박정희 정권시기에는 독립운동가들이 묻혀있는 효창공원에 대한 정체성 변화시도가 끊이지 않아 효창운동장, 원효대사 동상, 북한반공투사위령탑 등이 세워졌다. 1987년 민주화 이후 효창공원의 독립운동가 묘역은 다시 의미를 부여받기 시작했다. 6공화국 헌법에서 임시정부의 법통을 계승하였으며, 이후 효창공원에 대한 국립묘지화와 독립공원화가 시도되었지만 사회적 합의를 이루어내지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 효창공원의 역사적 중층성과 상징성에 주목하여 '독립의 길'이라는 주제로 스토리텔링을 하여 그 의미를 부각시키고, 효창공원의 정체성에 대한 사회적 합의를 이루어나가는데 기여하고자 한다.
