Derived from the juxtapositional model of Comparative Literature, this article analyzes two movies, The Story of Pao (Chuyện của Pao, directed by Ngô Quang Hải) and Into the Wild (directed by Sean Penn), using eco-criticism and focusing on two specific aspects: looking for the relationship between "culture" and "nature" and questioning the ideology that puts people at the center of the natural world. Specifically, the article points out similar tones in discovering and praising the beauty of nature, and at the same time, focuses on explaining the "disagreement" and "harmony" in behaviors of different communities towards Mother Nature in these two films. Finally, The Story of Pao and Into the Wild are both read as discourses that participate in the repositioning of human beings in the natural world. The purpose of juxtaposition, therefore, is to seek a new existential dimension for the works, providing an opportunity to uncover and reveal hidden layers of meaning of each text.

This research confirmed whether banks and saving banks increase their deposit margin under changes in the base rate. This paper has conclusions as follows. First, when the Bank of Korea changes the base rate, deposit rate variable are significant with panel analysis in the total data set and saving banks. This result implies that changes in the base rate affect deposit margin. Second, this study confirmed whether banks and saving banks maximize their deposit margin as base rate changes. As a result, when the Bank of Korea cut the base rate, the deposit margins of banks and saving banks decreased significantly. Still, their deposit margins are not statistically significant in the opposite situation. Therefore, this paper could not find evidence that banks and saving banks behave to maximize their deposit margin. Maybe, this phenomenon can appear because these financial institutions recognize this criticism.

This study recognizes the importance of the social network platform as a new fashion media, and analyzes the significance of various digital fashion images, based on the 'Aura' theory of Walter Benjamin. The concept of "Disappearance of Artistic Aura" can be summarized into three discussions: 1) the change in the way of artistic perception, which is changes in value from worship to exhibition. 2) the change in the way of artistic acceptance, from personal to mass. 3) the emergence of new artistic concepts such as camera and film. By reviewing characteristics of the $21^{st}$ digital replication era, the study tried to discover and evaluate the expanded significance of the 'Aura' represented on digital fashion images, which are infinitely generated, modified, reproduced, transmitted, and shared in social network environments. The 'Burberry Instagram' was chosen as the subject of the study. The study reviewed around 2,500 images, which were uploaded from February 2011 to July 2016, and selected 200 images deemed the most representative of Burberry, and categorized and analyzed by the extended concept of 'Aura'. The study results as follows: First, the 'Aura' in digital fashion image appearing on social network platforms signifies the expansion of product value in fashion, and it also represents inherited traditions and modernization of images. Second, it also signifies the democratization and globalization of fashion through the open replication and sharing as well as the interaction of criticism and acceptance. Third, it signifies the personalized taste and fashion as everyday lifestyle, through personalized services, securing playful space, and real-time updates.

The purpose of this paper is to help develop a comprehensive understanding of the humidifier disinfectant disaster from diverse perspectives based on a critical review of the relevant academic research papers published so far in the fields of both natural and social science. The authors reviewed pertinent articles in the six academic areas of law, social science, humanities, medicine, toxicology, and environmental health. A proper understanding of the issue of humidifier disinfectant is a challenging task because diverse aspects of it have become related over the more than two decades since such products were first released to the market in 1994. Technical and esoteric issues such as the complex system for relief and compensation for health damages and the approval of chemical toxicity are known to be major impediments to viewing the bigger picture regarding this tragedy. The authors believe that experts need to consider a comprehensive perspective going beyond their individual research arena to gain a better understanding of this issue, especially since it was an alarm signal on ethics and the role of experts and scholars in Korean society. Besides the two professors arrested by the prosecutor's office, it should be remembered that medical doctors recommended patients use humidifiers and disinfectants, and the media was inactive in reporting on this issue. Furthermore, the current paucity of examination of the social and political implications of this tragedy calls for more active engagement by researchers in the humanities and social sciences. In this regard, this paper is a work of self-examination and self-criticism by the authors that could resonate with the overall academic community.

This research aims to identify and reveal the meaning of memes about COVID-19, and explain changes in meme content in regard to the information development of COVID-19 in Indonesia published by the mass media and online media. The data is sourced from memes that are shared on social media, especially WhatsApp groups in the period of January to June 2020. To reveal the meaning of memes, a semiotic analysis of Roland Barthes' model is used. Qualitative analysis is used to reveal the relationship between memes and the information development of COVID-19 in Indonesia. The results of the study show that meme content has shifted according to three stages of information development of COVID-19 in Indonesia published by the mass media and online media. When COVID-19 was not yet confirmed in Indonesia, meme content contained mostly humor that was not educative, moreover it seemed to underestimate the coronavirus. Meme content which is mostly humorous and pornographic occurred when COVID-19 was confirmed in Indonesia and during the lockdown policy. At last, as the government has begun to distribute social assistance, the meme content looks more critical. The results of this research emphasize the urgency of the mass media as a source of public information during the COVID-19 pandemic, become a reference for the community in making memes as a forum for expressing feelings and social criticism, and serve as a reference for the government to act and make the right decisions related to the pandemic that is endemic in their country.

이 글은 옥동(玉洞) 이서(李?)의 장편 영사시(詠史詩) "역대가(歷代歌)"를 대상으로, 그 속에서 확인되는 옥동의 역사인식을 살펴보고자 한 글이다. 옥동 이서가 도덕적 수양을 최상의 가치에 둔 도학자(道學者)였다는 점에서 옥동의 "역대가"는 유가적(儒家的) 인식세계(認識世界)와 구분하여 설명하기 어렵다고 할 수 있다. 옥동의 "역대가"는 7언 526구로 구성된 장편(長篇) 고시(古詩)인데, 지금까지 알려진 "역대가" 계열의 작품들과 그 구성에서 상당한 차이를 보인다. 옥동의 "역대가"는 두 개의 큰 단락으로 구성되어 있는데, 첫 번째 단락은 태초부터 명(明)나라 멸망시기까지 중국의 사적을 서술한 부분이고, 두 번째 단락은 당대 현실의 부조리를 서술하여 현실에 대한 강한 비판의식을 드러낸 부분이다. 일반적으로 "역대가" 계열의 작품들이 역사적 사건을 소재로 하여 치란(治亂)과 흥망(興亡)의 사적만을 이야기하는 것과는 다른 모습이다. 옥동의 "역대가"는 그의 유가적(儒家的) 역사인식(歷史認識)을 바탕으로 창작된 것이라 생각된다. 옥동에게 중국 역대 왕조의 흥망성쇠는 역사적 사실로 의미를 지니는 것이 아니라 현재를 살아가는 사람들이 도덕적 수양을 추구해야 할 이유를 설명해 주는 도구로 작용하였다고 보인다. 옥동은 자신이 익힌 중국 역대 왕조의 흥망성쇠와 현실의 부조리에 대한 예리한 비판, 그리고 도덕적 수양의 필요성에 대한 자극을 모두 더하여 526구의 장편 영사시 "역대가"를 창작하였다. 그런 점에서 옥동의 "역대가"는 예술성을 목적으로 하는 순수한 문학 활동의 결과물이라고 하기에는 쉽지 않은 부분이 있다. 그러나 옥동의 "역대가"는 그 나름의 문학성을 통해 이전까지 저작된 여타의 "역대가" 작품들과 비교하여 문학적으로 뒤지지 않는 모습을 보여준다. 특히 옥동의 "역대가"는 문학성과 함께 그 스스로의 학습과 자기 신념의 강화를 위한 수단이면서 동시에 그와 그의 주변에 있는 사람들을 위한 교육의 도구였다는 점에서 더 큰 의미를 지닌다고 할 수 있다.

Consumption of faux fur is a part of ethical consumption, and is valuable in terms of protecting and caring for animals. The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of consuming faux fur (i.e., characteristics of faux fur consumption and how consumers relate faux fur with ethical issues) from the perspective of consumer culture theory. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with those who have purchased faux fur. Two overarching themes emerged in regards to consuming faux fur, altruistic and egoistic orientation. Regarding the altruistic orientation, participants were sympathetic to animals, and considered consumption as part of practicing social responsibility and ethics. Participants had concerns for animal rights and conflicts with others who consumed actual fur. They viewed faux fur as an alternative to actual fur. Regarding egoistic orientation, participants isolated themselves from ethical issues in order to be free from guilt. Despite the preference for actual fur, they compromised between their desire and social criticism. Furthermore, their intention was to pretend as if they were wearing actual fur or move onto a completely different style, and had a negative outlook on social change regarding the adoption of faux fur. The findings contribute to a better understanding of consumer culture of consuming faux fur. Further research on diverse aspects of ethical consumption is warranted.

이 연구는 낙동강 수계 지역을 배경으로 한 현대시에 재현된 지리적 이미지를 시대적 상황, 지리적 하위영역, 공간적 배경을 중심으로 고찰한 것이다. 이들 시들은 일제강점기의 강제적 인구이동, 해방 후의 경제적 빈곤, 한국전쟁으로 인해 피폐화된 국토, 경제개발, 환경문제와 생태시, 장소감 등 시대적 이미지를 잘 형상화하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 이들 시는 장소감을 통해 인문지리적 이미지를 비롯하여, 지형과 기후라는 자연지리적 이미지, 그리고 경제개발과 환경오염 이미지를 잘 드러내고 있다. 공간적 배경을 통해 볼 때 낙동강 상류 지역을 대상으로 하는 시는 황지를 비롯하여 안동 지역의 아름다운 지형이나 개인의 장소감을 노래한 시가 많은 부분을 차지한다. 이에 비해 중 하류 지역과 관련하여서는 현실을 반영한 사회비판적인 시가 많다. 이것은 낙동강 상류 지역에 비해 중류나 하류 지역에 대도시와 산업지역이 다수 분포해 있고, 강이라는 지형이 하류 쪽으로 갈수록 오염도가 심화되기 때문일 것이다. 이처럼 낙동강을 배경으로 한 시는 시대적 상황, 지리공간적 이미지를 잘 보여주고 있다.

몰입과 소격의 이중구조로 되어 있는 <꼭두각시놀음>에서는 상충하는 두 요소가 어떻게 변증법적으로 통합되고 그것이 주는 수용미학의 의미와 가치는 무엇인가를 탐색해 보고자 본 논문은 수행되었다. 연구결과 첫째, 브레히트가 제시한 소격 효과 기법들이 <꼭두각시놀음>에서는 몰입 기법으로 기능할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 둘째, 관객의 참여성 확대를 위한 산받이의 역할은 몰입 효과와 함께 소격 효과를 동시에 산출한다. 이러한 산받이의 이중적 기능은 변증법적으로 통합되며 관객의 이성적 현실 성찰과 웃음과 즐거움, 그리고 유희성을 동시에 거양(擧揚)해 낸다. 셋째, 인형극은 현실묘사의 방법이 아니라 현실 바라보기 방법으로서 유효하다. 그런 면에서 인형극 <꼭두각시놀음>은 대항 담론의 생산방식으로 표현의 확장성이 무한하며 어느 공연양식보다 효과적이라는 것을 보여준다.

The main purpose of this essay is to suggest that Faulkner's "pro"-lynching letter published in Commercial-Appeal in 1931 does not contradict his antilynching works such as "Dry September," Light in August, Go Down, Moses, and Intruder in the Dust. In the letter, Faulkner writes, "they [lynching mobs] have a way of being right." The remark has been interpreted as the expression of Faulkner's sympathetic attitude toward lynching mobs; however, it can be also seen as Faulkner's observation and criticism of the southern white people's structures of feeling in his time that stubbornly justified lynching as a way to do justice to black people who did "not" deserve to be a legal subject. This essay argues that Faulkner understood that the legislation of anti-lynching law alone could not save black people from the violence of lynching as far as white people believed that black people were not their equals and that lynching was a right means to fulfill social justice. Faulkner's fictions such as Light in August and Go Down, Moses provide moments in which white male characters feel as if they were social others, and their experiences work as an ethical urge for them to stand up for social others. This essay illuminates how Faulkner depicts the process of white male characters' identity formation as a violent break from his strong tie with black friends, how they reverse the process to blur the border again through the experiences of becoming-other, and how the experience of becoming-other has a potentiality to play the role of an ethical agency in stopping the custom of lynching in the South.
