There was a Golden Age of Fantasy novels in the United Kingdom in the 19th Century, which had the major writers, Lewis Carroll and George MacDonald. These writers pushed the boundaries of imagination and created a new world in which explore their own selves and societies. Fantasy novels flowered in the 1860s when a group of writers including Carroll and MacDonald published their works. These writers used the trait of dream framing to create their own fantasy world in which they took the action against the complicated and oppressive Victorian reality. Carroll's fantasy worlds of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass were an insane and chaotic world where the certainty of the real world was overturned. MacDonald's dream worlds of At the Back of the North Wind and the Princess books including The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie were ideal societies in which imaginative characters could create harmony between fantasy and reality. Fantasy writers engaged in making journey to other lands to do philosophical and moral discussion critiquing Victorian society and to find insights into those problems in their works. Thus, their fantasy journey traverses time and place can produce some suggestive answers to the questions that lie in other times and realities as well as theirs.

The present study proposes a model for literature-based instruction within the context of a fashion design curriculum at a Korean university. The fashion design market continues to grow. The fashion design market now requires more cultural-bound strategies and efficient communication skills. The literature provides authentic resources and is highly relevant to the development of students' culture awareness as well as language awareness. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll contains various cultural contexts of the Victorian Era. The text provides explicit knowledge of the era depicted in both illustrations and satire languages. This study instructs students to analyze and interpret texts and illustrations so that they can engage critically and analytically in reading text to increase culture awareness and language awareness. The integration of literature and fashion design can provide students an opportunity to explore language choice and acquire refined knowledge of the target culture. Along with the text, illustrations in the literature provoke student's imaginative and creative thinking skills. Students can think and discuss many issues that deal with Victorian values and reinforce creative thinking skills. In the final stage, students can design fashion inspired by Victorian values and present their own designs using the acquired languages. This eventually leads students to adapt to a new notion for the fashion market and become competent communicators in the fashion world.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland expands scope of Children's Literature genre by introducing the discourse of pleasure as opposed to that of didactic discipline. Carroll's narrative is important, not only for children's literature, but also as a forerunner of post/modernism of James Joyce with its language play and linguistic invention. Its treatment of Alice's body change follows the motif of body transformation in myth and literature. Comparing "stasis" of Susan Sontag's character Alice (James) in her play Alice in Bed and "movement" of Carroll's Alice, this study explores the issues of woman's alienation and the dichotomy of mobility/immobility in reality and in their literary representations. Focusing on a female child's double alienation as woman and child, I argue Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a counter-narrative of alternative bildungsroman. Alice gains her subjectivity through her adventure by power of language and story-telling. Through representation of the dream/adventure of two desiring sisters, Carroll's narrative exhibits subversion of social order and emergence of new order of "chaosmos" out of chaos. As a method of study, this study traces genealogy of "curiosity" in myth and literature as a motivating force that triggers adventure and argues "creative curiosity" is a dynamic energy propelling Alice's adventure.

Florence Nightingale is best remembered today as the Lady with the Lamp, but modern research on the English nurse primarily addresses her popular iconography as a historical misrepresentation of her character and career. This scholarly reluctance to analyze critically Nightingalean iconography, however, has obscured important cultural work performed by the popular tropes. This article argues that the proliferation of Nightingale's iconic image as a symbol of Christian womanhood in transatlantic periodical poetry, when examined separately from biographical considerations, reveals important insights into the complex relationship between form and affect in mid-nineteenth periodicals. Popular representations of Nightingale give form to the disorienting effects produced on newspaper readers by the nascent field of international journalism and reflect a key generic paradox at the heart of the Victorian periodical: the simultaneous aim to report news objectively and to move readers affectively in response to events beyond national contexts and interests. Focusing on Lewis Carroll's "The Path of Roses" and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Santa Filomena," this article contends that Nightingalean periodical poetry mirrors back to readers their own affective response to modern media and functions as a new technology for managing an increasingly acute awareness of events and ethical responsibilities beyond the nation.

인간 게놈 프로젝트가 완료됨에 다라 생체서열과 언어 사이의 대응 관계가 부각되고 있다. 본고에서는 Lewis Carroll의 언어 유희 사례를 컴퓨터생물학의 측면에서 재조명하고, Carroll이 제시한 문제 중에서 간단한 anagram 문제의 해결을 다루고자 한다. 우선 DNA 컴퓨팅의 방법론을 적용한 DNAgram의 개념을 확장하여 plasmid-DNAgram의 개념을 새롭게 도입하였다. 이 개념을 형광단백질에 대한 DNAgram의 개념을 확장하여 plasmid-DNAgram의 개념을 새롭게 도입하였다. 이 개념을 형광단백질에 대한 FRET(fluorescent resonance energy transfer)분석기법의 응용 사례인 cameleon 형광단백질에 대한 FRET 분석기법에 적용함으로써 anagram 문제의 어휘론적, 구문론적, 의미론적, 화용론적 측면에 대응하는 바이오분자 컴퓨팅 방법론을 제안하였다.

There are lots of disabled mathematicians who overcame their disabilities and made great achievement to the world of mathematics. In this article, we introduce disabled mathematicians who overcome their disabilities and contributes to the development of mathematics: Nicholas Saunderson, Leonhard Euler, Lewis Carroll, Solomon Lefschetz, Louis Antoine, Gaston Maurice Julia, Lev Semenovich Pontryagin, Abraham Nemeth, John Nash, Bernard Morin, Anatoli G. Vitushkin, Lawrence W. Baggett, Norberto Salinas, Theodore John Kaczynski, Richard E. Borcherds, Dimitri Kanevsky, Hwang Yun-seong, Emmanuel Giroux, Kim In-kang, Zachary J. Battles, and Pratish Datta. As well, we classify mathematics education environments and the role education played in helping these mathematicians overcome their disabilities and other obstacles. Then, we discuss educational environmental changes in the 21st century for special mathematics education.

이 연구는 정보와 지식을 효과적으로 시각화하기 위해 만들어진 개념적 맵(Conceptual map)들의 종류와 그 특성과 차이점을 분석하고 활용 방안으로서 디지털 스토리텔링으로의 적용 가능성과 방법에 대한 연구이다. 사회현상에 존재하는 다양한 정보에서 사용자가 원하는 정보를 검색하고 조직하기 위해 다이어그램, 그래프, 맵 등 정보시각화를 통한 여러 방법들이 사용되고 있다. 특히 이 중에서 맵을 이용한 시각화에 주목하는 이유는 수많은 정보와 지식을 기반으로 만들어진 개념적 지도가 정보와 지식을 표현해 줄 뿐만 아니라, 이들 사이의 관계를 조직해주는 데에도 효율적으로 사용되고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 정보시각화는 대량의 정보 속에서 사용자들이 찾고자 하는 정보를 빠르고 용이하게 찾을 수 있도록 도와준다. 또한, 일련의 스토리 라인을 갖고 있는 책의 시각화의 경우 등장인물과 그들 주변에서 일어나는 사건들의 관계를 형상화할 수 있다. 이러한 과정을 통해 만들어진 개념적 맵에서는 개개인이 알고 있는 이야기와 그에 관한 정보를 다른 사람들과 의사소통하며 그 정보와 지식들이 확장될 수도 있어, 이는 지식시각화의 좋은 활용사례가 될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 개념적 맵의 세 가지 종류인 개념맵(Concept map), 지식맵(Knowledge map), 토픽맵(Topic map)의 정의와 특성들을 살펴보고, 각각의 구성요소의 차이점을 비교하여 시각화 방법론을 제안하였다. 또한, 각 맵의 특성과 차이점을 이용해 루이스 캐롤(Lewis Carroll)의 <이상한 나라의 엘리스>의 이야기 요소들을 각각의 개념적 맵들로 구성해봄으로써, 그 효과를 확인해보았다. 스토리텔링을 개념적 맵을 이용하여 표현할 경우, 사용자들은 스토리텔링을 효과적으로 접근할 수 있으며, 이러한 분석은 개념적 맵을 제작할 때 가이드라인으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
