In this paper, to analyze the meaning of middle-aged men's economic activities, TEXTOM was used to analyze them. The data collection period is set from 2017 to 2019. Among the collected data, 100 refined words were converted into a matrix in which the degree of social connection was calculated, and the keyword network analysis was performed again with the NetDraw program. According to the study, middle-aged men put more meaning on their current work and family than their future retirement. Also, the related word commonly included in the top five for all three years was 'work'. Related words commonly included in the top 10 were 'old age', 'family', and 'work', and in 2018 and 2019, 'health' was included in the top 10. As a result of this, the middle-aged men living in the modern age are the generation who keep their families through economic activities and are increasingly interested in health and prepare for retirement. Therefore, policy support for stable economic activities is needed to improve the quality of life for middle-aged men. It is necessary to extend the retirement age, expand jobs and provide effective vocational training so that it can handle its role as the head of a family. In addition, measures should be taken to reduce the wage gap between highly skilled and low-skilled workers.

Adults in their middle age are being held back by their roles through economic activities, but their rapid retirement and job sharing are adding to their anxiety. Also, it is very important to establish welfare policies for the elderly in the future because it can predict the economic situation in the old age through the economic activities of middle-aged adults. My study analyzed the 6th data of Kreis of the National Pension Research Institute's. The number of people studied is 2,552 employed people aged 40 or over 64 across the country. According to the analysis, there were more men than women. There were many high school graduates and 50s. There were many people who had spouses and who lived in the province. Wage workers represented 53.1% of the total. The lower the age, the higher the level of education, the higher the number of wage earners. Only 29% of standard workers and 30.8% of regular workers were employed. There were many economically unstable middle-aged adults. Economic instability in the middle age requires social attention because it can lead to poverty in old age. Therefore, measures should be taken to ensure stable jobs for middle-aged adults, whose spending increases more than their income.

This study examined health foods intakes and related variables among the middle aged(150 men and 159 women) in the Jeonbuk region. Health foods were classified into 4 groups including Chinese medicine(CM), toner foods(TF), vitamin or mineral supplements(VMS), and other manufactured health food supplements(MHFS). The number of people taking health foods were higher for those in their 50's than in their 40's. The consumption rate of TF in men was the highest among health foods, this result had significance. The reasons for taking health foods were recovery from fatigue, supplement of nutrients and making smooth body activity in general, but TF was used to increase of vigor. The consumption rate of health foods was a little different according to social-economic factors, namely, the consumption rate of CM was higher in people in rural than urban areas, those who graduated from middle school than university, blue color & self-employed as opposed to housewives and service workers, low level income than high level income, and Buddhism and no religion than Christian. The consumption rate had a correlation with the habits of smoking, alcohol drinking and exercise ; namely, the consumption rate of CM was higher than VMS and MHFS on smokers and alcohol drinkers. The more the frequency of exercise, the higher the consumption rate of TF, but the duration of the exercise was not correlated. This study suggests that middle aged people need nutritional education for the right recognition and selection of health foods and to consider the nature of each type of health foods.

본 연구는 문화예술교육을 시작으로 전개된 50대 중산층 남성 다섯 명의 사진 활동에 관한 이야기이다. 그리고 이들의 경험을 부르디외(Bourdieu, P.)의 문화자본론을 비판적으로 수용해야 한다는 공유된 문제의식을 기반으로 코스쿠너-발리와 톰슨(Coskuner-Bali & Thompson, 2013)이 제안한 '부차적 문화자본(subordinate cultural capital)' 개념과 백룬드와 쿠언쯜(Backlund & Kuentzel, 2013)의 '여가자본(leisure capital)'을 경유해 연구 참여자들의 사진 활동을 보다 구체적으로 이해하고자 하였다. 연구 참여자들은 경제 자본이 곧 '개인의 능력'이라고 인정받는 사회적 분위기 속에서 일상을 보내왔지만 어느새 문화예술에 대한 소양과 취향이 '개인의 정체성'이라는 가치관을 마주하게 된다. 이에 따른 주관적 결핍감과 함께 '노년 직전의 시기'라는 생애 주기적 특성은 심리적 동기를 실천에 옮긴 데에 영향을 미친 것으로 드러났다. 나아가 그들의 문화적 실천이 확장, 유지될 수 있는 이유는 새로운 관계 안에서 공고해지는 '문화예술인'으로서의 정체성에 있었다. 이렇게 사진 활동은 자본간전환을 통해 '적극적으로 자기 정체성을 구축하고 표현하는 중년 남성'이라는 상징적 지위를 부여하지만 이들이 얻게 된 상징자본이 작동하는 범위는 사생활의 영역이었다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 문화자본론의 관점에서 한국 사회를 이해할 때에 계급뿐만 아니라 '세대'도 유의미한 논의점이 될 수 있음을 고찰함으로써, 문화예술교육 논의에 있어서 문화자본론을 보다 유동적으로 이해했을 때 생겨날 다각적인 접근의 가능성을 엿볼 수 있다는 데에 의의가 있다.
