Since Modern period which is characterized by the governing of technology and capitalism, the production and aesthetics of building became a main issue of architectural discourse. Morever, Modern architecture tends to be a kind of media in which the visual image of building plays a far more important role than building itself. Institutionalized discipline of Architecture in modern system set aside the dwelling aspect of building and destructed close relationship between dwelling and building. This study analyzes the essential meaning of dwelling with a viewpoint of building and vise virsa in order to have a deep reflection on contemporary architecture and modern crisis of dwelling. For this purpose this study first reviewed linguistic and mythical narratives on the origin of dwelling and building. Secondly, reviewed the thought of Heidegger on dwelling and building and his thinking on authenticity of dwelling. Thirdly, reviewed drastic change of idea and reality of dwelling recent days, especially from settlement to nomad. Lastly reviewed E. Levinas' thinking on bodily dwelling or primordial mode of dwelling before poetic dwelling of Heidegger. With these review we can figure out following things on dwelling and building. Physical building or its visual image can not take the place of dwelling in itself. Dwelling and Building happens simultaneously and understood as an event in life world. Today's alienation of dwelling from building reduced our conception of architecture to a physical setting and mere technique. Building must be a ontological and cultural phenomenon beyond physical building. Nomad in this age of information and globalization may be a new mode of dwelling. But it can not exclude traditional way of dwelling on concrete space, because human being as a physical being can not abandon dwelling place that gives a primordial comfort with and within our body.

The space of the Other assumes the space of Barthes's multiplicity and Foucault's transdiscursive position, and, therefore, aims at becoming the locus in which the speaking subject and the hearing subjects are supposed to communicate and constitute as if they were situated in the pscychoanalytic session. However, the wall of untranslatibility across language and cultures still exist there in the space of the Other in the form of trauma and aggressivity, as Lacan demonstrate perceptively through the reading of Kant avec Sade. In short, Lacan regards the moral commandment (to love one's neighbor as oneself) as the obstacle in the Freud's myth of transgression, and interprets this in terms of the emergence of the Other. Freud understands that the aggressivity in the subject's own heart was inherent in all humans, and that one's neighbor would be evil. Lacan goes beyond Freud and articulates that the aggressivity in the imaginary relation with the Other in the mirror stage insures that an evil inheres in the very being of humanity. A global phenomenon of the diasporic identities and hybridity, the phenomenon which has been represented by the complicated intermixture of terms which span from diaspora, postcolonialism, postnationalism. and transnationalism can be clarified, if they are put in the context of the ethics of Othering or becoming the Other. The ethics of Othering presupposes the situation in which the diasporic subjects encounter the lack of the cross-cultural negotiation and communication. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the poetics of Other and the logic of the ethics of Othering can explain the postmodern or transmodern world which has become deterritorialized, diasporic, and transnational as well as how one can encounter the results of diasporic and postcolonial double consciousness, a consciousness which is a discursive category for multicultural or cross-cultural, focusing on the concept of liminality/interstitiality

Don DeLillo has shown considerable interest in terror, frequently depicting extreme dread of something terrible to happen, in his literary texts. Since more than three thousand innocent people in New York were killed by the 9-11 terrorist attack in 2001, the anticipation about what kind of fiction he would write as a New Yorker was high. DeLillo's novel Falling Man (2007) in fragmentary detail represents the scene of the terrorism from the perspective of Keith Neudecker, a lawyer who escapes the collapsing world trader center. Neudecker's post-traumatic stress disorder in the first chapter is followed by the free-associative portrayal of various impacts of the 9-11 terror on Neudecker's wife Lienne in the second chapter. The random mixture of the first person narratives from such diverse view-point characters as Neudecker's son Justin, relatives and friends, with dialogues and recollections yields a very close picture of the consequences of terrorism. Reading DeLillo's Falling Man in juxtaposition with a Japanese Canadian novel Obasan by Joy Kogawa, reminiscences of the maltreatment of Japanese Canadians during and after the second world war, surfaces the authorial intention of the two novels. They as trauma literature emerge to aim at curing the readers and proposing post-traumatic ethics. Laurie Vickroy's theory of trauma narrative and cure, E. Ann Kaplan's theory of trauma witness narrative and responsibility, and Emmanuel Levinas's theory of trauma memory and ethics offer theoretical grounds for the convincing analysis of the two texts.

Even in this current high-tech industrial age, mythological imagination is considered important. Although each mythology scattered all across the world may have an insignificant origin, to understand that particular society fully, one must not mistakenly assume that the mythology itself is a production of a primitive mind. Ultramodern physics and futurology professor Freeman Dyson has also acknowledged this opinion. He insists that in order for human kind to survive into the far future it most keep in touch with its far past. Levi-Strauss also observes that mythology and science aren't a entirely separate domains. The scientific mind is regarded as a source of understanding the intrinsic qualities of mythology. Taking mythology and science as a binomial opposition, and only weighing their prospects, should be put to the past as we should recognize the need for mythology and science's qualitative unification. In this new point of view, regarding mythology as a meaningless irrationality should cease, while finding out why the inevitably related world of mythology needs metaphoric, ideological consideration. By utilizing 'Whale Rider' by Witi Ihimaera(2004) we will discover why our lives require an 'image' that is borrowed from our experience. The author, Witi Ihimaera, is originally from the Maori tribe, who approaches the world with a mythological imagination, which is not easy to understand with scientific thinking nor in modern civilization. When looking into the mythology of the ocean which still lives in modern civilization, while noting that the world is one, the author indicates that reality and unreality, nature and the super-natural, present and the past, science and fantasy, were not divided from the beginning. However, overtime humans have divided the borders. To do this, the author interprets the ancient emotions of the Maori tribe which have been traditionally accumulated in the group identity in a new literary way by introducing the Maori tribe's ancestral god, Paikia, who can converse with the ocean and the whales. This piece, which has been made into a movie and won awards in 5 international film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival, regards primitive emotions as a rational concept instead of an instrumental concept. Also these primative emotions are continuing their attempts to communicate with nature. Furthermore, it advises contemporary human beings who seek for eternal life to not exploit the cultural differences that have been formed naturally, and it is vital for human beings to transcend the ethnic boundaries and to think rationally. In the story, we can find "the dissimilar us" that philosopher E. Levinas mentioned in his sayings, which refers to responsible human beings who devote their lives for the sake of other people instead of fulfilling their own needs.

In these days, we come across a growing interest in animals from various perspectives. Considering that the posthumanistic point of view forms the major stream of postmodern humanities, ethics and philosophies, this paper tries to study the liminality between human beings and animal as appear in postmodern plays. The cases of a middle-aged architect falling in love with a goat (The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? by Edward Albee); An abandoned (human-)dog that encounters his old mistress under the moonlight (A leaseholder by Yoon Young-sun); Coexistence of men, dog, plants in a Country life (White Cherry by Bae Sam-sik); A Mutual sympathy between a swarm of bees and a woman dying of cancer(Bee by Bae Sam-sik) were discussed referring such concepts as 'Otherness' of Derrida, 'Becoming'of Deleuze, 'a bare life' of Agamben and ecological co-existence. In The Goat, the moment of Martin who happened to meet a goat's eyes in a suburbs can be paralleled with that of Derrida who one day found himself caught up with the gaze of a cat in the bathroom while he was naked. They shared the common experience in that they went through the ontological and mysterious abyss that rendered them to raise the question of "Who am I ?" In A leaseholder, a young woman returns to her hometown exhausted by the calculating human society and meet her old time (human-dog). This story reminds us of Agamben's werewolf, Levinas's dog Bobby and Derrida's Zootobiography. He, an abandoned pet, both excluded and included from human society, now appearing as a mysterious human-dog, welcomes, embraces, and comprehends his old mistress and exposes his individual remorses and passions as an animal-subject. In White Cherry, the author describes the coexistence of all the life-beings such as an old dog, a golden bell tree, the deceased daughter and even a fossil remains in a country life. Bee is a story of a beekeeping village where bees were leaving and disappearing. A swam of bees fly down on a woman who was dying of cancer. With physical and spiritual empathy the dying woman helps the swarm of bee to conduct a new birth and a new life.

이 논문은 미국의 젠더 이론가이자 퀴어 학자로 알려진 주디스 버틀러의 후기의 정치윤리 사상, 그중에서도 '프레카리티' 정치윤리 사상을 한나 아렌트의 '비선택적 공거'와 연결해서 최신저서 "집회의 수행성 이론 소고"(2015)를 중심으로 고찰하려 한다. 점점 제한된 사회적 정치적 불안정에 놓이게 되는 지구상 모든 인구의 평화로운 공존을 모색하려는 버틀러의 프레카리티 정치 사상은 레비나스의 타자 윤리학과 아렌트의 정치철학의 영향을 받아 윤리와 정치를 결합하고자 한다. 우선 인간은 인간의 조건인 이 지구상에서 자신이 누구와 살지를 결정할 수 없다. 이런 '비선택적 공거'는 한나 아렌트가 "인간의 조건"에서 주장하는 '행위'의 근본적 조건인 '다원성'과 관련된다. 인간의 모든 측면이 정치에 어느 정도 관련되지만 다원성은 특히 정치적 삶의 필요조건일 뿐 아니라 가능조건이라는 면에서 절대 조건이다. 두 번째로 버틀러에게 유대적 선민사상을 부정하는 비선택적 공거는 내가 모르는 다른 여러 타인들과 함께 사는 삶의 가능성, 모두가 근본적으로 취약하기 때문에 상호의존속에 살아가는 보편적 프레카리티의 정치로 연결될 수 있다. 다원적 인간이 지구상에 공존한다는 사실은 인간의 몸이 가지는 근본적 취약성과 상호 의존성에 근간한 '몸의 정치학'을 가능케한다. 불안정성과 구분되는 '프레카리티'는 지구상에 디아스포라처럼 확산되는 다양한 인간의 불확실한 삶에서 평등과 자유를 확장할 수 있기에 윤리적이다. 프레카리티에 입각한 윤리적 의무 개념은 버틀러가 "불확실한 삶" 이후 "갈림길"뿐 아니라 "전쟁의 틀"에서도 강조한 개념이다. 누구든 사회세계의 프레카리티를 피할 수 없으며 그럼 점에서 프레카리티의 보편적 차원이 우리 모두의 비토대적 연결점이 된다. 버틀러가 주장하는 상호의존성은 평등의 관점에서 지속가능한 상호의존성을 양성하기 위한 사회적이고 정치적인 형식의 투쟁이며, 평등을 향한 윤리적 요구는 근거리와 원거리의 가역성에 달려있다. 다시 말해 상호의존성이 비선택적 공거의 특징이라면 원근의 가역성은 프레카리티 시대의 윤리적 의무다. 윤리적 요구는 비선택적 공거, 비의도적 근접성이라는 조건 때문에 모르는 사람의 삶도 존중해야하고, 이런 의무는 정치적 삶의 사회적 조건속에 있으며, 이는 아렌트의 평등 및 레비나스의 노출과 맞닿는다. '비선택적 공거'와 '비의도적 근접성'에 입각한 버틀러의 프레카리티 정치는 정치와 윤리의 접합이자 보편 주체의 비토대적 연결점이다.

인간의 감성은 인간관계 속에서 발현되는 선험적으로 주체하지 못하는 감정의 오류를 현명하게 절제할 수 있도록 도와주며, 합리적인 선택을 할 수 있도록 감정에 명령하기 때문에 나와 타인의 행복(幸福)에 기여하게 된다. Abraham은 하나밖에 없는 아들, 그것도 백 세가다되어 얻은 아들을 제물로 바치라는 신의 명령에 고민에 빠졌을 것이다. 이때 그의 이성은 과연 합리적이었을까? 이성적 사유로는 자신의 아들을 바치는 행위가 적합한 행위라고 사유할 수 있겠지만, 인간의 마음으로는 그것이 과연 가능할 것인가? 또한 Aristoteles는 인간을 위한 선(善)에 있어서 인간적인 덕에 대해 정신의 덕이라고 하였다. 행복(幸福)도 정신의 활동이기 때문에 우리는 정신에 대해 어느 정도 알아야 한다고 말하였다. 이 ψυχή(psyche, 영혼) 정신(精神)은 비이성적인 요소로 눈에 보이지 않지만 이성적 원리에 개입하는 어떤 작용이다. 또한 C. G. Jung은 모든 인간은 눈에 드러나지는 않지만 역동적인 네 가지 심리기능을 가지고 있으며, 마음이 움직이는 것은 이러한 4가지 기능적 차원에 의한다는 것이다. 이것은 감각(S, Sensing), 직관(N, Intuition), 사고(T, Thinking), 감정(F, Feeling)의 요소가 복합적으로 작용하고 있다는 것이다. 또한 David Hume은 도덕은 이성에서 유래될 수 없다고 단정하면서 공감의 원리를 역설하였으며, Max Ferdinand Scheler는 어떤 사람의 시각적 특징을 파악하기 전에 이미 그 사람에 대한 전체적인 느낌을 마음속에 포착해 대응 태세를 취하게 되며, 이 느낌 속에 주어지는 것이 바로 가치이며, 이러한 과정을 통하여 가치가 부여됨으로써 인식 대상으로 고양되고, 가치를 파악하는 감정의 작용은 언제나 이성보다 선행하여 일어난다고 하였다. Emmanuel Levinas는 지극히 감정적인 사랑의 감정은 이성에 앞서며, 감성이 인간의 이성적 사유와 합리성에 앞선다는 것은 감정의 통제 불능에서 우리는 통제가능성과 절제의 요구로서 이성적 사유와 합리적이고 현명한 실천이성을 요구하게 되기 때문이라고 언급하였다. 인간의 감성적인 교육의 일환으로 도덕윤리과 교육과정에서는 Bloom의 인지적 정의적 행동적영역의 통합적인 사고를 갖춘 존재로서 도덕적 실천행위를 하는 존재를 이상형으로 지향하고 있다. 어떻게 하면 덕스러운 행위에 대한 감정의 지향성을 따르는 행위를 할 수 있으며, 또 어떻게 하면 부덕한 행위에 대한 감정의 지양성을 함양할 수 있을 것인가에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 이러한 문제해결의 방향성은 바로 '덕감(德感) 강화'의 원리와 '부덕감(不德感)제거'의 원리로 우리는 인간의 감성(感性)과 행복감(幸福感) 함양에 대한 가능성과 방향성을 설계할 수 있다.
