  • The compositions of ethnic groups in Macau vary with time. Prior to the opening of the port, the majority of the residents in Macau were Chinese people, including those living on land and at sea. After the port was opened, with the increase of Portugal businessmen and missionaries, the population was divided into Chinese people and foreigners (so-called 'Yiren' or 夷人 in Chinese). Chinese people living on land were mainly of Hakka, Fujian, and Cantonese descent. Those living at sea were referred to as 'Tanka People' (named 'Danmin' or 蜑民in Chinese). They lived on floating boats for their entire lives and were similar to the 'drifters' in Japan. Since modern times, many refugees from mainland China and Southeast Asia flooded into Macau due to warfare. The development of industrialization required a larger number of laborers, and some 'coolies' entered Macau in legal or illegal ways, making it a multi-ethnic city. However, the Tanka people were not considered a minority ethnic group under the national ethnic policy of 56 ethnic groups since they did not have an exclusive language and shared dialects in different regions. As the ports inhabited by Tanka people gradually restored foreign trade, the boats and stilt houses used by Tanka people were dismantled to expand the infrastructure area of the ports. Many Tanka people began to live on land and marry people on land, leading to the disappearance of the Tanka group in Macau. The fishing boats and stilt houses used by Tanka people have also disappeared, with only a few remaining in areas such as Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong. This paper examines the natural and social environment of Tanka people in Macau from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, as well as the adaptive changes they adopted for the aforementioned environment in terms of living space and architectural type, on the basis of summarizing the historical activities of Tanka people. Finally, this study provides a layout plan and interior structure of the most commonly used boat for Tanka people from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, with the use of CAD and other technical software, along with reference to written historical documentation, and provides a case study for further research on the architectural history of Macau's inner harbor cities, from anthropological and folklore perspectives.

  • Since its early stages, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed immense challenges in meeting the public health and healthcare and social care needs of migrants. In line with other reports from United Kingdom and United States, data from Sweden's health authority show that migrants have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Following the World Health Organization's statements, as well as the European Public Health Association's call for action, several centres in Sweden's most populated areas have activated tools to implement national plans for community outreach through initiatives targeting migrants and ethnic minority groups. Unconventional means should be promoted to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on migrants and the health of the public at large.

  • Aesthetics of ugliness enlarged aesthetic field and brought back the repressed, estranged things. Hair style is not an exception. So I intended to examine the contemporary(1995-2002) women's hair styles on the basis of Rosenkranz' concept of ugliness. The results are as follows: First, extrinsic aspect contains formlessness and disfiguration. Among characteristics of formlessness, discord means appearing on a stage with a hair style derailed from our common sense or an incomplete hair style. Asymmetry means hair decoration or hair dressing which violates the principles of design. Disharmony means excessiveness beyond the concept of accent. Disfiguration has characteristics of vulgarity, disgust and caricature, and means cruelty, grimness or ridiculousness instead of pleasing beauty. Second, intrinsic aspect has incorrectness. As minority ethnic groups, estranged classes, children and women which in the previous field of absolute aesthetics were never considered as beauty appeared as subject matters of hair styles, the repressed things returned and a new genre was created thereby enlarging true aesthetic field. Like this, 1 cloud confirm that aesthetics of ugliness organized today's characteristic, peculiar hair styles, and enlarged aesthetic field.

  • 중국에서는 21세기에 들어 인간과 자연의 조화 및 생태의 균형 유지가 매우 중시되면서 도시와 농촌간의 경제적 격차를 줄이고 전면적이 협력과 지속적인 발전을 위한 조화로운 사회건설정책을 추진하고 있다. 뿐 아니라 개혁개방 이후 급격한 경제적 변화로 전통 문화의 보존과 중화민족의 역사적 정통성을 유지하기 위하여 문화유산에 대한 애국주의 교육을 더욱 강조하고 있다. 이에 중국은 박물관의 문화유산 보존과 전시기능 뿐 아니라 사회교육의 중요성을 더욱 인식하게 되었으며 새로운 박물관 형태인 생태박물관에 대한 관심을 기울이게 되었다. 중국은 대도시에 집중적으로 건설되었던 대규모의 박물관을 대신하여 노르웨이의 지원과 중국박물관협회를 중심으로 꾸이저우성, 꽝시장족자치구, 내이멍구자치구 등 소수민족이 집중적으로 분포하고 있는 산간 오지지역을 중심으로 생태박물관을 설립하기 시작하였다. 이러한 생태박물관의 건설은 서부대개발이 진행되면서 소수 민족의 고유한 문화에 대한 위기의식에서 비롯되었으며 소수민족에 대한 문화적 수요를 창출하고 경제적 생활향상으로 함께 화해사회(조화로운 사회) 건설에 참여하여야 한다는 인식이 커다랗게 작용하였다. 그러나 중국은 생태박물관 조성을 국가사업으로 전환하면서 민족과 지역 특성에 적합한 형태로 만들고 활성화하기 위하여 소수민족 문화유산에 대한 관리를 더욱 강화하면서 점차 중국화, 본토화하고 있다.

  • From the field survey of the main ethnic minority areas in the south China, it is found that political, economic, cultural and natural environmental changes are the main reasons leading to the change of customary law. The power mechanism of the customary law change include the three aspects, such as the promotion of country elite, the dominance of grassroots government, and the daily demands of the villagers, which promote the change of customary law alone or together. Through the application of customary law, the country elites can adjust and refine the rules of customary law in order to make out the new customary law and promote its development. In the current pattern of rural governance, grassroots self-government is actually the "official supervision of people's autonomy". The executive power of the grassroots government often intervene the practice of customary law and other informal rules. This is another mechanism of customary law change. Customary law arises from the practice of the daily life of the villagers. If the villagers think that the norms of customary law cannot meet the actual needs of daily life practice, the customary law will be promoted in the form of collective consultation. This is the most important dynamic practice mechanism of customary law change. Transformation and abandonment are the two ways to change customary law. No matter what kind of change does not lead to the demise of the customary law system, the demise of the customary law is only an outdated result, which is made by the universality, nature and objectivity of customary law. The procedure of customary law change is the process of continuation and rebirth about customary law. The result of the change is to produce the new customary law of keeping pace with the times, and the customary law will be presented with new content and form after the change. The continuation of customary law means the inheritance of traditional customary law, but it is based on the transformation of traditional customary law. The rebirth of customary law means that the traditional customary law is completely discarded. But it will produce new customary law rules and be based on the needs of social life practice. Customary law occupies a pivotal position in the normative system and the national law cannot be replaced. The purpose of customary law change will let the customary rules better adapt to the development of modern society, adjust the social relations more reasonably and better meet people's needs of production and life, which is decided by the character of customary law.

  • Today, every culture has taken on the compromise form by means of the cultural difference, variety, and pluralism according to the internationalization and the advance so that it has been developed toward the half-blooded and multilayered the aspect. In accordance with this current of the times, this thesis observed the feminism found in the multiculturism of the end of the 20th century, the third world, and technology with the side of the tendency of modern fashion, considered the hybride phenomenon which is pulling down the wall between culture and genre due to the social diversification. and predicted the fashion trend do 21st century serf on it. Multiculturism is the movement that began to arise in the academic world of America and the literary world form the close of 1980's in accepting the variety of culture and regarding the culture with the more balanced and wide view and just as it is, it means the attitude of accepting one or more cultures of variely and the position of taking interest in the culture of minority race not the culture of a governing race. It is the fashion of feminism adapts dualism like unisex, androgynous look, etc of bisexual lendency in the 1980's, it shows new style with crossover of liberal sense because there is not the difference of sex in fashion. The eco-feminism pursues the natural sexuality not being instrumental and dismantling and expressed it in the Gender expression of an integrated human being. The trend of ethnic fashion in the close of 20th century is that the element of hippie is working so strongly. By adding embroidery of Oriental style, accessories of Indian style, feathers, beads, a hempen hood to the ethnic costumes of Asia and Latin, is shows the figure of ethnic hippie. As the cycler fashion is the future clothes through technology of computer, it uses a cool glass material bringing up the image of a spacesuit in order to expresses cyber image through artificial color combination of sheen colors, Though this techno-color fashion has established the fresh stimulation and the innovative aspect with ultramodern materials and image of futurism, it transmits a hope of estranged people and the natural elements. Hybride means a cross and mixture of animal and plant in Korean and is also called fusion. The phenomenon of hybrid predicts to comes the period of a cross and variation because something completely new comes into the world by contamination, mixture and compromise through meeting something different each other and it has on advantage of developing something existing to one more stage. It is prospected that in the society of 21st century, the borderline of traditional gender will be disappeared, variety and individuality will determine the individual behavior, and the masculine value will be substituted by feminine value. In the society giving priority to feminine value, a fashion stuck closely to women is what must reflect lives of woman under the proposition of woman's beauty, being on original function. So, it is considered that a fashion with added convenience and practicality having the function which is easy to put on, comfortable to act, able to express solves so much, and able to show various appearances according to T.P.O will get into the spotlight.

베트남 중부고원지대 커피재배지역의 확대와 토지소유관행의 제도화: 닥락성(省)을 사례로 (Expansion of Coffee Plantation and Institutionalization of Customary Land Ownership - Case study of Dak Lak Province in Vietnam)

  • 이 논문은 베트남 중부고원지역의 닥락성(省)을 사례로 커피재배지역의 확대와 토지소유관행의 제도화 과정을 고찰하였다. 베트남은 세계 2위의 커피 수출국이며, 닥락 지역은 베트남 최대 커피 생산지이다. 이처럼 닥락이 커피생산의 중심지역으로 성장하면서 커피재배지를 확보하려는 경쟁도 심화되었다. 특히 국가권력이 새로운 토지소유권 제도를 도입하고 이를 실천하는 과정에서 토지를 둘러싼 경쟁은 격렬하게 전개되었다. 새로운 토지소유권 제도의 도입은 닥락지역 소수민족에게 직접적인 영향을 미쳤다. 국가권력이 이 제도를 도입하기 이전, 소수민족에게 있어서 토지는 마을 공동체에 귀속되는 공유자원이었으며 배타적 권리의 대상이 아니었다. 그러나 새로운 토지제도가 도입되면서 토지는 배타적 권리를 보장받는 사적 자산으로 그 성격이 변화되었다. 따라서 소수민족이 가졌던 토지에 대한 관습적 권리는 새로운 토지제도의 틀 속에 재편될 수 밖에 없었다. 그러나 이러한 관습적 토지소유의 제도화는 닥락 지역 전체에서 동일하게 전개된 것이 아니라, 통치체계의 중심지로부터의 거리와 토지자원의 가치에 따라 상이하게 나타났다. 이 논문에서는 입지 그리고 자연 조건이 상이한 세 지역을 선정하여 변경에서의 통치체계의 확립과 관습적 토지소유의 제도화 과정이 소수민족의 일상적 저항(everyday resistance)에 따라 불완전한 양태로 전개되었음을 조명하였다.

  • 우리나라는 급속한 외국인 증가와 함께 외국인 밀집주거지도 빠른 속도로 늘어나고 있다. 그중에서도 한국계 중국인들은 그 숫자도 많을 뿐 아니라, 밀집주거지 역시 서울에서만 8개나 형성되어 있다. 이 논문은 이들 한국계 중국인의 밀집주거지들 간에 서로 다른 특성이 있을 것이라는 가정 하에, '가리봉동'과 '자양동'을 대상으로 주민의 내부 구성과 주거 양상 등을 살펴보았다. 조사 결과, 가리봉동은 한국계 중국인들의 초기 정착지로서 주로 단신으로 단기 체류하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 반면 자양동은 한국 생활에 비교적 적응한 사람들의 2차 정착지로서 주류 사회에 보다 동화된 양상을 보이고 있다. 한국계 중국인들의 밀집주거지간에 성격 분화가 일어나고 있는 것이다. 향후 외국인 노동자 유입이 계속되는 한, 이 같은 외국인 밀집주거지 분화 경향은 심화될 수밖에 없을 것이다. 따라서 선진국의 경험을 감안할 때 주거지 분리와 주류 사회와의 동화, 그리고 밀집주거지 간 분화의 다양한 양상들을 이해하고 미리 대비하는 것이 중요하다.

인종의 역사와 우정의 윤리 -후기 데리다를 통해 다시 본 카리브해의 인종정치학과 자메이카 킨케이드의 작품세계 (History of Race and Ethics of Friendship: The Caribbean Racial Politics and Jamaica Kincaid's Fiction Revisited through the Later Derrida's Political Philosophy)

  • The purpose of this paper is to make a critique of racial aspects of Caribbean literature more ethical through a constant concern with history and political philosophy. The first step I take for this purpose is a comparative reading of C. L. R. James's view of Toussaint L'Ouverture's position and Frantz Fanon's view of race and class in the historical context of the Caribbean power-relations. In so doing, I examine how Toussaint's and Fanon's wills to negotiation were thwarted in the New World history. To elaborate upon this ethico-political approach, I have recourse to the so-called later Derrida, focusing on his books, such as The Politics of Friendship, Of Hospitality, On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness, etc. Taking an up-close look at Derrida's thought, I argue that his political contemplation of ethics is as effective as his deconstruction of "otherness" in dealing with the nature of ethnic clashes in both the real world and minority literature. In the second half of my paper, I reexamine the issues of race, gender, and class in the three novels of Jamaica Kincaid - Annie John, Lucy, and The Autobiography of My Mother. It is conceivable that from the feminist perspective Kincaid's fiction has been read as a postcolonial Bildungsroman. In my supplementary attempts to this criticism, I reveal that the teenage narrator's precocious awareness is still under the colonial influence in the Annie John section. My analysis of Lucy contends that the reasons why the white woman fails to make friends with the young black woman should be sought in the long history of the U.S. racial politics. In the section of The Autobiography of My Mother, I discuss how difficult it is for a minority woman to liberate from the spell of history insofar as she is engaged in the issue of identity. In closing, I pose a need of consolation that literature may grant us by becoming able to produce a different interpretation on all the bleaker reality.
