This study tries to evaluate the similarities and differences between Paradise Lost and the Journey to the West through the characteristics of Satan and Monkey King. In Paradise Lost, the spirit of Satan revolts God is just like the spirit of Bourgeois revolts the Feudal Aristocracy; however, Monkey King's figure in the Journey to the West is a character with rebellious spirits. In the western world, they often advocate punishments afterward, while the eastern world notes social orders and rules. Although eastern epics have distinct differences toward western epics due to the different cultural and historical backgrounds, the results that the winners at the end always get supreme powers are the same.

선협영화는 무협영화와 판타지(奇幻) 영화라는 장르의 융합을 통해 발생한 새로운 장르이다. 본고는 중국선협영화의 대표작인 서유기류 영화의 미장센을 통해 선협영화의 탄생과 변화 및 선협 영상미학을 분석하였다. 특히, 서유기류 영화의 선협공간은 인간계와 요계, 요계와 신선계, 천계와 인간계로 구분되어 서로 대립하는 공간으로서 비록 톨킨이 제시했던 환상적인 제2의 공간(Middle Earth)의 모습과 닮아있지만 전통적인 무협서사에서 주로 나타나는 산, 사막, 동굴, 초원 등 자연환경(강호세계)을 중심으로 지극히 중국적인 모습과 중첩된 세계를 보여준다는 점에서 차별적이다. 최근 선협영화로서 서유기류 영화의 유행은 서구 판타지 장르의 영향아래 중국의 디지털 기술 발전에 따른 IP(Intellectual Property)소설이 매체와 장르를 넘나들며 확장되어 메타 서사화 된 결과라고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 변화는 장르의 혼종을 통해 원작 서유기 세계를 넘어서는 현시대정신을 지닌 새로운 중국적 판타지인 "선협"장르의 탄생을 의미한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of the experience of receiving radioactive iodine therapy among patients with thyroid cancer. Methods: A qualitative research design was adopted. The participants were ten women diagnosed with thyroid cancer who had received radioactive iodine therapy within one year. Data were collected through in-depth interviews from October of 2015 to April of 2016. Individual interviews were recorded, and transcribed data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: The six categories of the experience of receiving radioactive iodine therapy were "Finally realizing having cancer," "The lonely fight that feels like prison life," "Narrower scope of life," "Lack of understanding by others," "Enduring a short, yet difficult journey," and "A turning point for a new life." Conclusion: This study provides deep insight into the experience of thyroid cancer patients who had received radioactive iodine therapy. Nurses should concern their distress during radioactive iodine treatment and manage psychological difficulties as well as physical symptoms. Support from family and health care providers may help them to overcome the hard journey.

본 연구는 "서유기"에 나타난 유교 불교 도교 각각의 특징과 더불어 세 종교가 함께 어울려 드러내는 삼교회통의 성격을 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 풍자와 해학이 중심을 이루면서도 감동과 희망 그리고 대리만족이라는 구조를 가지고 있는 이 소설은 민중들에게 하나의 도피처라고 할 수 있는데, 도교적 수련을 통하여 얻게 되는 불교적 깨달음의 경지에 대한 이야기가 바로 "서유기"인 것이다. 천계에서도 여러 신들이 모두 완전한 존재는 아니며 종종 실수를 범한다. 이러한 이야기 속에서 인간으로 살아가고 있는 존재들의 실수쯤이야 그야말로 하찮은 것이다. 이 세상의 삶의 구조와 다를 것이 없는 것이 여전히 천성의 세계인 것이다. 세상은 지상에서나 천상에서나 어디든 부조리와 모순이 난무하고 있다. "서유기"에 나타나는 삼교회통의 특징은 몇 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 삼장법사의 여행은 단순히 불법의 깨달음을 얻기 위한 것이 아니라 보다 큰 의미의 도를 구하는 여행이라고 할 수 있다. 둘째, 깨달음을 얻기 위한 방편은 굳이 어느 하나가 좋다든가 옳다는 주장을 하고 있지 않다는 사실이다. 셋째, 억압받고 착취당하는 민중들을 위한 자비와 선행 그리고 생명존중정신은 모든 종교에 공통하는 요소이다. 넷째, 이 이야기는 처음 시작부터 이미 모든 것은 마음의 문제임을 암시하고 있다. 사실 이 소설에서 등장하는 모든 요괴나 고난들은 다 평범한 사람들의 마음속에서 일어나는 갈등일 뿐이다. 다섯째, 이 소설에서 나타나는 유불도 삼교의 논리는 모두 '예정론'이라고 할 수 있다. 인간의 삶은 어쩌면 숙명처럼 예정된 길을 가고 있는 것임을 암시하고 있다. 그러나 중요한 것은, 모든 종교가 그러하듯이, 설사 그 길이 예정된 길이라고 할지라도 묵묵히 자기의 임무를 수행하면서 살아가는 자세 그것이 또한 삶의 길임을 "서유기"는 강하게 그리고 설득력 있게 이야기 하고 있는 것이다.

This paper is an art historical attempt to discuss the transfer and transmission of a certain visual idiom along the Silk Roads and to show the multi-dimensionality of the trans-regional, trans-cultural movement. The motifs of grapes and grapevines are discussed here for this purpose, including the grape-and-vine motif mixed with other animated figures and plants. A special emphasis is on China and its reception, but regional varieties within East Asia are also discussed. The motif is one of the most longstanding and versatile visual idioms, widely distributed along the regions of the Silk Roads. This deceptively familiar motif came to China, where grapes and viticulture were introduced far later than the West. The West developed various symbolisms ranging from manic revelry and heavenly unity with mystic beings, to royalty and power in different cultures. In China, this visual idiom was eagerly received in association with something exotic and re-interpreted in the context of Chinese culture. Without active viticulture, the motif transformed itself into beautiful design patterns and space fillers in China and East Asia. The natural appeal of jewel-like grapes acquired new meanings of fertility and happiness in the traditional East Asian cultural context. To see the cultural effect of viticulture on the visualization of this motif, the Islamic reception of the motif is briefly touched upon when countries to the West of China (서역 西域) were fully Islamized and heavily affected by the prohibition of alcoholic drinking.

In March 1245, Pope Innocent IV authorized three missions to the Mongols, seeking information about this menace from the East and summoning Eastern Christian support against an anticipated Mongol onslaught. Only one of the missions, led by John of Plano Carpini, reached Mongolia-the first-known Western European party to reach East Asia by a land route. Traveling along the Silk Road's new "Grasslands Route," John and his companion Benedict reached the camp of Güyüg Khan, where they witnessed his installation as the Great Khan. Upon their return to the papal court in 1247, they delivered Güyüg's letter demanding the submission of the pope and all the West's princes. John also presented a detailed report on what he and Benedict had learned. A close reading of it reveals a master intelligence operative at work. In addition to presenting an overview of Mongol history and culture, Friar John's report provides detailed information on the Mongols' grand strategy, their military organization and armaments, and their battle tactics. Turning from intelligence gathering to military operations, he offered practical advice on how to meet and defeat the coming Mongol onslaught, an attack that, providentially for the West, never came. What did occur was a modest but significant migration of Western missionaries and merchants to East Asia in the century following this pioneering journey.

The essay explores the narrative structure of the classical Chinese feature animation, (a.k.a. Da Nao Tian Gong, 1964). The film is presented with a modular structure which is quite unique compared with the storytelling in feature animated films from other cultures, but could be connected with the tradition narrative structure in Chinese Zhanghui style novels in Ming and Qing Dynasty. By relating the original text of the story, the 16th century novel Journey to the West (a.k.a. Xi You Ji), with the film , the essay addresses the question of how the narrative tradition in Chinese classical literature influenced the Uproar in Heave for its segment narrative structure, character driven storytelling strategy and mirrored repetitive 2 plot lines. The subject of this essay is even more significant after the restored 3D version of was re-released in the spring of 2012 and became one of the best-selling animated feature film in the history of the country.

Worn by both males and females the kimono is the national dress of Japan. Previous research highlights that this national dress is fading from tradition and evolves to develop with the times and fashion trends. This research aims to investigate what a kimono represents both historically and currently within Western society. The idea of the kimono being more than a national dress representing Japan, the main three themes researched will be (1) Shape (2) Narrative (3) Journey from East to West. Based on both primary and secondary sources this research indicates that there is a strong relationship between the universal increase of kimono wearers in Eastern and Western societies from history through to present day. Primary research is utilised in the form of two types of interviews. Primary outcomes bring a personal perspective to how and why kimono is worn nowadays within Europe. Secondary sources include online lectures held by kimono specialists as well as subject relevant books. From the 19th century where the Dutch were the only European country to trade with Japan, an exchange of fabrics took place which later led to the exchange of: fit, fashion and pattern (primarily within Western womenswear fashion.) This distinct garment never gets discontinued and evolves with social demands within society today.

The first D2C-era web-real variety show in Korea was broadcast via tvN of CJ E&M. The web-real variety program 'SinSeoYuGi' accumulated 54 million views, along with 50 million views at the Chinese portal site QQ. This study carries out an analysis using text mining that extracts portal site blogs, twitter page views and associative terms. In addition, this study derives viewers' response by extracting key words with opinion mining techniques that divide positive words, neutral words and negative words through customer sentiment analysis. It is found that the success factors of the web-real variety were reduced in appearance fees and production cost, harmony between actual cast members and scenario characters, mobile TV programing, and pre-roll advertising. It is expected that web-real variety broadcasting will increase in value as web contents in the future, and be established as a new genre with the job of 'technical marketer' growing as well.

This paper aims to suggest the compromising vision of nature and technology as the solution to get out of the globally accelerated technology environment in Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis. This novel intends to emphasize on the importance of physical environment as a precondition for the survival of human. Eric wants to be a posthuman with the cybernetic idea, pursuing to be the digital self in a vast biosphere that integrates both the nature and the technology. His obsessive worship of technology through his quest for the futurity results in the effacement of the humanity and the insulation from the nature. Cosmopolis is DeLillo's first 9/11 novel, which describes a young-billionaire asset manager Eric's one-day life in New York in April 2000. Eric can be the third Twin Tower as a symbol of global economic hegemony. By the allusion of the 9/11 catastrophic event, it can be said that Eric's fall is caused by his hubris and avarice as a global capitalist. Crossing the 47th Street toward the West in his limousine, his journey is revealed as the environmental reflections on his desires to attain the futurity and transcendence by technology. This novel cautions that the abuse of technology can bring out the obsolescence and erasure of the humanity and the nature. DeLillo suggests that the best hope for the evolutionary possibility of posthuman can be realized through the correlation with nature and technology. This future-oriented novel warns that the excessive technology should not lead to the disappearance of community and humanity, and the separation of self and nature. It admonishes that they should not follow pseudo-cosmopolitanism as the greedy world citizens, devoting on the velocity of newest technology. This novel recommends that humans should be the world citizen of global ecosystem, making the ameliorative environment through the correlation with self/environment and technology/nature, and gardening the restorative biosphere and the younger planet.
