  • 이 논문은 19세기 유럽 의학의 업적인 미생물 발견과 함께 발전된 '세균이론'(germ theory)이 어떻게 '침범'의 공포를 야기하는지, 그리고 어떻게 '침범'의 공포가 미국의 반-이민(Anti-immigration) 정서와 공모해 동시대 제국주의적 정치 이념을 완수하게 되는지를 밝힌다. 의학과 정치가 연루되는 과정을 살피기 위해 우선 유럽에서 시작된 '세균이론'의 정치적 특징을 구분하고, 이 '세균이론'이 미국에 도입되면서 어떻게 '미국적'으로 변형되는지를 규명할 것이다. 세균이론 혹은 침범이론으로 "이선 프롬"을 독해할 때, "이선 프롬"(Ethan Frome)에 드러난 이디스 워튼(Edith Wharton)의 제국주의적 시선을 밝힌 엘리자베스 애먼스(Elizabeth Ammons)의 분석은 유용하다. 그러나 애먼스는 주인공의 내적 갈등과 선택에 주목하지 않음으로써 거기에 작동하는 '미국적' 침범이론의 특징을 놓치고 있다. 이 논문은 바로 그러한 '미국적' 특징을 살펴보는데 의의가 있다.

  • Remarkably, despite the growing frequency and severity of global problems such as climate change, earthquakes and health pandemics, public diplomacy has remained largely focused on the goals of state actors and threats from other actors. The Covid-19 pandemic exposed the consequences of focusing on individual actors of public diplomacy, including their competitive quest for soft power, over the more pressing needs of humanity and public diplomacy's global mandate. The aim of this piece is to expand the vision of soft power from a competitive state-centric perspective to a broader and more collaborative, humanity-centered perspective. Although public diplomacy's link to power may appear recent and linked to Nye's (2004) concept of soft power, research suggests that it may stem from the traditional diplomacy's "diplomacy of imperialism" (Langer, 1935) that immediately preceded public diplomacy's rise. While this diplomatic heritage may currently dominate public diplomacy perspectives, humankind's global heritages and evolutionary capacity for cooperation suggest another vision is possible. The paper draws upon Alexander Vuving's (2009) explanation of how soft power works in a comparative analysis with Nye's original works to sketch out a new humanity-centered perspective of soft power. The paper concludes with implications of a humanity-centered perspective of soft power for public diplomacy's global mandate.

  • An analogical reading of socio-historical context of Harold Pinter's The Caretaker employs some postcolonial discursive analyses of postimperial British capitalistic interests in their post war reconstruction. It is also concerned with causes of so-called broken society. The Caretaker dramatizes minimal actions: a tramp is invited by the elder brother; a job as caretaker is offered; he is reluctant to accept the first offer by the elder brother, but is willing to the second by the younger; eventually, he is excluded because he makes noises while dreaming. These trivial actions produce serious and critical speech acts with their socio-historical implications. The tramp Davies is socially and thereby existentially excluded from the centre of the cold, banished to even colder peripheries. The audience face to the question. Why is Davies excluded? This study tries to answer the question, uncovering deep-rooted capitalistic racism, and reading its symptoms. Even after 50 years The Caretaker was staged, post-imperial broken society tries to operate the betrayals of disparity between the cause and effect of what has gone wrong. Pinter confirms that the action of the play takes place in a house in west London. With the city of London as its capitalistic centre, British imperialism lavished much of its wealth which has only served sectional interests dividing people against themselves. Pinter dramatizes the root of broken society. On the one hand, Pinter foregrounds the very general conflicts between individuals and forms of power; on the other hand, he underlies the very specific strategies of socio-historical exploitation, domination and exclusion.

  • Among many open libraries under the rule of the Japanese imperialism, only the railroad library as the character of special library under the control of the Japanese Government General is remarkable for having opened its facilities to outsiders as well as the interior users. This study tries a) To look into what were the colonial background, aim and motive of the establishment of the railroad library under the Japanese rule, b) To analyze its activities and the change of its organization, c) And to find out its vestiges an the effects which it has on our country's library circles. The following are the result: A. The railroad library under the rule of the Japanese imperialism functioned as a public library by the outside book's circulation rather than the interior using. B. The outsiders were qualified to use it only when they got the joint guarantee for the city resident, which means that the o n.0, pportunity of the circulation was not free for the Koreans rather than the Japanese. C. From the aspect of collections, technical books such as natural science, and reference ones tended to be collected, and their whole composition was focused on the materials for the Japan-Korea identification scheme and development of the national spirit as the Japanese empire's subjects. D. In the respect of its organization, all the clerical employees, as well as the chief librarian were composed of the Japanese. Although the Koreans were in principle prohibited from working there, a few of them were employed as guard or servant as the China-Japan War was close to the end. E. The area of the outside book's, circulation service was expanded throughout the whole region along the railroad connecting Pusan with Manchuria. Such a service activity which contained several meanings, was tried by means of culture's books, circuit's books, train's books, hotel's books, mind's development books and reader's reading books etc. F. Such matters as the limitation on book circulating and the quantity of circulation book, the paid circulation and the partial restriction on free circulation mean the wartime system under the rule of the Japanese imperialism and also a n.0, ppeared as a factor of hampering the Koreans from getting accustomed to using library, which has affected them until now. G. The noticeable thing in the service activity is shown in attempting the diversified and positive way of service like free circulation in order to solidify the attitude of the Koreans toward war by organizing mind's development books as well as culture's books with the China-Japan War. H. On the other hand, it can not be passed over that the diversified service activity of the railroad library played a role of bridge in turning of today's library circles of ours to the modernization.

  • This article examines Bong Joon-ho's science fiction/horror film, The Host (2006) and interrogates its depiction of a contemporary South Korean family in crisis. The writer considers the film as a resonant cultural artefact and a manifestation of particularly new-millennial anxieties concerned with the continued involvement of the United States in South Korean affairs, fears of an erosion of traditional family values and mistrust of officious, state endorsed bureaucracy. The Host emerges as a profoundly visceral depiction of an ordinary family set against everyone with no one to turn to except each other.

  • 이 글은 일제에 의해 이식된 은사기념과학관의 사회적 역할을 살펴보았다. 식민지 과학관은 식민지 지배를 정당화하는 정치적 공간으로 활용되었다. 일제는 과학사상을 보급한다는 미명아래 과학관을 식민지 지배에 이용하였던 것이다. 식민지 과학관은 '위대한 과학제국' 일본을 부각시켜 열등한 조선을 지배하는 것이 당연한 것처럼 보이도록 하였다. 과학관의 전시와 강인 실험, 과학영화 등은 이러한 식민지 지배이데 올로기를 선전하였다. 식민지 과학관의 이식은 다음과 같은 문제점을 남았다. 첫째, 과학관이 정치권력의 선전수단으로 이용되었다. 식민지 과학관의 건축, 전시, 운영의 모든 면이 공공연하게 권력의 정책방향을 선전, 옹호하고 그것이 '개발, '발전'이라는 장미빛 환상을 심었다. 둘째, 식민지 과학관에서 과학기술은 '결과와 '도구'로 취급되었다. 일제는 과학이 사회적 위기를 해결했던 역사적, 문화적 산물임을 부정하고 '도구적 합리성'만을 주입시켰다. 셋째, 식민지 과학관에서 다루었던 과학기술은 매우 수준 낮은 것이었다. 생활의 과학화를 내세우며 교육했던 것은 근대적 규율을 내면화시켜 권력이 요구하는 노동자형 인간을 양성하기 위한 것이었다.

  • The purpose of this thesis is a searching out the characteristics of Japanese dwellings implanted into Korea in the time of the rule of Japanese imperialism and its influences on Korean modern dwellings especially in the time of 1930's. At the early stage of the colonial time($1905{\sim}1919$), the central corridor type Japanese dwellings were implanted into Korea for the Japanese official residences. The central corridor type Japanese dwelling was an urban modern dwelling compromised between Japanese style and western style and distinguished by an outer-court type plan, Japanese entrance hall, central corridor and western style reception room. After the 1920's the central corridor type Japanese dwellings have spreaded itself and became a prototype of a modern dwelling in Korea. The characteristics of the central corridor type Japanese dwellings have influenced on the Korean high class dwellings and Korean architects' proposals for modern dwelling in the time of 1930's. By the implantation and spread of the central corridor type Japanese dwellings, Korean modern dwellings at the same time have affected and undergone transformation. The aspects of transformation were ; The outbreaking of the Japanese style entrance and central corridor, the transformation of MaDang from the inner court with a function of circulation into the outer court garden with plants and the transformation of Korean dwellings from the rural inner court type into the urban outer court type. The central corridor type Japanese dwellings implanted into Korea in the time of the rule of Japanese imperialism makes function as a precedent of a modern urban dwelling to Korean and makes Korean dwellings transform from the rural inner court type into the urban outer court type.

  • 식민화는 정치경제적인 현상일 뿐만 아니라 사람, 작물, 잡초 가축. 병원균의 이식을 수반하는 생태적 제국주의의 또 다른 표현이다. 일제시대 한반도는 일본에서 개발한 신품종 벼가 도입. 개발, 보급되는 생물학적 식민주의의 실험장이었다. 신품종은 빠르게 퍼져나가 강점기 후반이 되면 수도 재배면적의 90%이상을 점거할 정도로 성장하였다. 신품종의 전파에는 일차적으로 농업이민, 농장. 권농기관. 농업연구기관이 관여하였다. 제도와 정책적인 측면의 지원도 활발했는데. 장려품종 지정. 품평회 개최. 곡물검사소 설치. 중견인물양성소 설립, 농회보를 통한 소개의 형식으로 이루어졌다. 화학비료의 투입을 전제로 하는 신품종 벼는 먼저 자본이 부족한 소농의 입지를 축소시켰다. 생산된 미곡은 대부분 반출되어 국내의 식량문제를 초래하였고, 농민으로서는 일본 소비시장의 기호변화에 맞추어 영농을 하지 않을 수 없는 등 왜래 품종의 이식으로 한반도의 종속적인 상황은 더욱 강화되었다. 일선 농촌에서는 새로운 농법과 영농설비의 도입으로 우리 고유의 문화경관이 크게 변질되었다.

  • In fisheries financing before the liberation of Korea, the accommodation of funds through modern monetary facilities was hardly benefited to most of small-scale Korean fishermen except Japanese fishermen living in Korea and some large-scale Korean fishermen. In fact, since Korean economy was only in the beginning stage of capitalism free from natural economy in the end of Yi Dynasty, it was natural that the supply of funds should be lacked. But after the opening of ports in Korea, the external shapes in Korean society were slowly changed according as heteronomous modernization was pushed forward by means of western capitalism and the intentional invasion of Japanese was gradually weighed. Thus all kinds of fishing equipments and technique were developed by dint of modernization, and modern monetary facilities also came into being. But most of Korean fishermen were hardly benefited by modern monetary facilities. Fishermen who were faced with destitution of funds were forced to rely upon high interest loans in order to make a living or maintain fisheries, and they were severely exploited by usurers. The situation was the same in the period of Japanese imperialism. Japanese felt the necessity of advancement of Korean fisheries and established fisheries institution suitable for all kinds of colonial fisheries policy toward Korea so that they could build up the foundation according to the development of capitalism and carry out the Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese War. There were a series of bottlenecks in financing on account of the deficiency of fisheries institution in the beginning of Japanese imperialism, but the financial pressure was lightened because the arrangement of institution greatly contributed to the smoothness of fisheries financing in the latter part of it. Despite such improvement of financing, the benefit of funds could not equally reach to all the fishermen. It only reached to Japanese fishermen living in Korea and some large scale Korean fishermen. Thus most of korean fishermen could not free themselves from destitution of financing and the pressure of high interest loans. This phenomenon took place because Korean fisheries had the antinomic characteristics that financial restriction was excessive owing to the industrial speciality of fisheries, on the other hand there was a large financial demand in fisheries in the character of industry.
