  • The mourning and grief practice richly registered in Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of the abiding themes that critics have been fascinated with. This paper attempts to take a fresh look at the issue by building its arguments on Benjamin's insight that the modern art (mechanically) reproducing the exhibition value brings about the destruction of the ritual value and favors the conditions of melancholy. Instead of taking for granted that Hamlet's performance of grief is fundamentally different from those of other characters such as Gertrude, Ophelia, and Laertes, this paper argues that Hamlet's performance comes to be recognized masculine and different from others, only because he presents himself to be so through his theatrical performance as well as his princely power that the subjects (others in the story) ought to ascribe to. To prove this point, this paper closely analyzes Hamlet's rhetorics and the ways he constructs his mourning self, which is emblematic of the shift in art history that Benjamin has characterized with the terms of "ritual value" and "exhibition value." In conclusion, this paper suggests that Shakespeare's Hamlet marks the change of the historical horizon, a permanent removal from the past in which the ritual value had been once protected, pushing us to a new age to live with melancholy and the disconnection from things and their muted language.

  • 이 민담의 시작 부분은 집단의식의 중심에서 땅-모성-여성적 원리가 집단무의식 속으로 사라지고 일방적으로 하늘-부성-남성적 원리가 지배하는 상황을 보여준다. 이 원리는 왕으로 나타나 있다. 어머니 없이 자라는 왕의 딸은 긍정적 부성 콤플렉스의 영향과 진정한 여성적 아이덴티티를 발견하는데 중요한 땅-모성-여성적 원리로부터의 단절로 하늘-정신의 세계에 머물며 자기(the Self)를 상징하는 금공을 가지고 노는 것과 같은 자아팽창의 위험에 처하게 된다. 그녀에게 필요한 원리는 왕자였으나 마녀의 마법으로 변신한 개구리를 통해 다가온다. 이 개구리는 부정적 모성 콤플렉스의 영향을 받은 남성의 모습이라고 융심리학적으로 볼 수 있다. 혐오스럽고, 흉측하게 느껴진 개구리는 공주의 그림자, 땅적인 동물적 본능을 상징한다. 깊은 우물에 빠진 금공은 오직 그의 도움으로만 꺼낼 수 있다. 그의 도움의 대가에 대한 대화는 그들의 대극성을 잘 보여주고 있다. 개구리가 원하는 것은 여성적 가치인 관계, 땅적인 에로스이지만 공주가 줄 수 있는 것은 남성적 가치인 하늘적 로고스이다. 개구리가 그녀의 잃어버린 공을 가져오자, 즉 공주가 그녀의 잃었던 리비도(libido)를 되찾자, 그녀는 개구리와의 약속을 완전히 잊는다. 일반적으로 의식화되기 시작한 내용은 쉽게 다시 무의식으로 떨어지고 억압된다. 개구리는 아버지 형상이자, 집단적 질서의 철저한 집행자인 왕의 도움이 없었다면 공주와 함께할 수 없었다. 공주는 처음에는 아버지의 로고스에 마지못해 복종한다. 그러나 그녀의 순수한 본능의 충동이 강해지면서 자아를 그녀의 부성 콤플렉스의 세력으로부터 풀려나게 한다. 바로 이 순간 개구리는 왕자로 변한다. 그도 모성 콤플렉스로부터 해방된 것이다. 공주와 개구리-왕자의 결혼은 대극의 합일을 상징한다. 하늘은 땅적이 되고 땅은 하늘적이 된다. 젊은 왕의 하인 하인리히가 공주와 왕자를 마차에 태우고 왕자의 나라로 되돌아가는 동안, 하인리히의 심장을 감싸고 있던 세 개의 철끈은 끊어진다. 땅모성-여성 의식의 장소인 심장이 이제 해방된 것이다. 무의식 속으로 사라졌던 원칙이 집단의식으로 나타나서 전체성이 회복되었다. 하늘-부성-남성적인 원리, 땅-모성-여성적인 원리 모두를 포함하는, 즉 로고스와 에로스 원칙을 동시에 적용하는 자기에 의해서 집단의식이 기능하게 된다는 것을 의미한다.

  • 본 연구는 여배우의 몸에 대한 뉴스의 이데올로기적 함의를 알아보기 위하여 고 장자연 자필편지사건을 특종 보도한 SBS TV 8시 뉴스를 중심으로 텍스트와 이미지를 분석하였다. 뉴스의 이야기구조는 편지 사본에서 내용을 발췌하여 술접대 성상납, 접대를 강요당한 또 다른 여성 연예인, 리스트, 복수, 자살 등 선정 적인 방향으로 전개되고 있었다. 한편 '무명의 신인 여배우'로 명명된 그녀는 여성이자 신인, 무명으로 낮은 계급에 위치하고 있었으며, 권력을 지니지 못한 여성의 몸은 권력을 가진 자들에 의해 소비되고 물화되는 것으로 나타났다. 뉴스에서 여배우는 순백의 여신이자 귀여운 소녀, 섹시한 여성으로 재현되는 대중문화 속의 이미지를 보여주며, 이 때 '몸'은 상품가치의 근간이자 상품이 된다. 그러나 이러한 몸은 본질과 분리되고, 자신의 몸으로부터 소외당한 여성은 죽음으로 저항하지만 '몸의 부재'로 끝난다. 남성중심주의적, 소비 지향적, 계급주의적 이데올로기가 반영된 뉴스에서 한 여배우의 몸은 철저히 소비되고, 동시에 소외되는 것을 알 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the aesthetic characteristic of men's costume in the Renaissance period. Fashion is a reflection of Zeitgeist. The ideal aesthetic values of each period create the concept of ideal beauty for that period. Costume represents the ideal beauty of a particular period. The aesthetic characteristic of men's costume in the age of Renaissance was analyzed in terms of four categories: the beauty of male body, sublime beauty, sensual beauty, and artistic beauty. First, for the beauty of male body, the men in the age of Renaissance enlarged their chests and shoulders by inserting a pad in them in order to express their masculine beauty of human body by emphasizing their sexual organ. Second, for the sublime beauty, men's costume was exaggerated by using a pad, a ruff collar and slash. In this period, men intended to represent their power and dignity through horizontal extension in their costume. Third, for the sensual beauty, erotic emphasis were made through physical elements. In order to show off sexual charms, men padded their costumes and introduced the codpiece. Last, for the artistic beauty in the age of the Renaissance, men's costume showed proportional, balanced and symmetrical beauty. And men's costume was made of rich brocades, which were embroidered and encrusted with jewels.

  • This is the research of Abject Art which was originated aesthetically in Abjection Theory of Julia Kristeva, a french psycho-analyst who argued liberational discussions about feminine identity against patricentric ideology which had fastened existing beautiful and elegant oedipal-feminine image and femininity as the secondary sex or the other's sex. and which became known by the planning display at whitney Museum of American in 1993. In Julia Kristeva's Abjection Theory which was written in her book(Power of Horror : An Assay on Abjection, 1992), she named pre-oedipal stage in which there is no sexual difference and has the same significance to both sexes instead of the oedipal stage which is becoming male-supreme reality as the semiotic and reinterpreted that an infant disregards feminine body--mother's body (Julia Kristeva, named it as Chora) as the love and the pain which carries her baby in herself and creates the baby which belonged to herself--which belongs to the semiotic to enter the symbolic smoothly. So the Abjection art is partly consist of some works which express the concertion of the boundary rebated with infant Identity which is not yet the other perfectly nor the subject perfectly, and of some works called Excretory Arts which express the excretion and vomiting which is the original experience of the abject. I expect that this research can be the chance of breaking from the fastened identity which was granted on female and feminine costume in this masculine-view centric society and creating the new position of costume and dress in the field of art by analyzing the costumes especially among these works.

  • With the beginning of seventeenth century, the men in France royal palace began to wear wigs and by eighteenth century wig became sole possession of men. Then, it had been become a satire thing filling one side of the era with the pouf that had been for women. All these things were closely related with the unstable social situation. The bourgeoisie expressed the anger for the privilege that come from the disparity of class consciousness. The reaction against the discriminative treatment by the illuminists stimulated the outbreak of the French Revolution on 14th, July in 1789. This paved way of characterizing the wig styles of the time. The symbolism of cultural-historical meaning in the west is not confined only in Europe. The worship of hair that is different from one cultural area to another had started with their own unique taboo consciousness and had developed to the form speaking for the expression of masculine, the symbol of man power and the extravagance of the privileged class.

  • This paper aims to examine a truth about love - the close relationship between a person's passionate love and that same person's loneliness and suppressed desires, a relationship that Carson McCullers (1917-1967) portrays in The Ballad of the Sad Cafe. McCullers, one of several brilliant writers from Southern America, managed to overcome her cruel situation and showed deep insight into the human condition, particularly in regard to the relation between love and isolation. The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, like her other works, examines the spiritual isolation and the agony of love that three lovers experience. The love in this story is a triangular relationship among the three main characters, Amelia, Lymon and Marvin Macy. The distinctive characteristics of love described in this story are that each character falls into blind and passionate love for the person he/she loves, no matter how the beloved responds. Love also changes the lover, not the beloved, revealing the completely opposite nature of the lover. The opposite nature and the inner secrets that the love reveals about the lovers reflect their frustrated and suppressed desires, which is femininity and motherhood for Amelia, non-violent masculine power for Macy, and physical attraction and power for the hunchback, Lymon. These suppressed desires are rooted in the deep sense of frustration that they had to experience in their childhood. In short, the seemingly unconditional love of the main characters is not an ideal, altruistic love, but a reflection of their inner desires. This story, however, does not seem to criticize this kind of love but simply tries to give an honest picture of what love might be. It also admits that 'deformed' love is still better than no love (and consequently no stimulus) because what really damages and causes decay in human beings and in a community, is the state of boredom.
