이 글의 목적은 캐나다 퀘벡(Quebec)의 영화감독 소피 데라스페의 작품 <안티고네>(2019)에 대한 서사구조, 영화미학, 주제의식에 대한 작품분석을 통해 퀘벡사회와 맺는 사회맥락적 의미를 규명하는데 있다. 본 연구를 위해 '작가구조주의'와 '문화연구'라는 두 가지 층위의 연구방법론을 도입하였다. 이를 통해, 첫째, 소피 데라스페 감독은 퀘벡의 문화적 정체성을 재현하는 '퀘벡성'을 가진 작가주의 감독이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 둘째, 서사구조에서는 소포클레스의 원작 '안티고네'를 알레고리 삼아 21세기 퀘벡의 이주민 집단과 차별문제를 현대적으로 각색한 특징을 갖고 있으며, 셋째, 영화미학적 측면에서는 인서트, SNS, 환타지와 같은 가상의 미장센을 통해 극적 효과를 부여하고 있으며, 넷째, 주제에서는 민족에 근거한 과거의 정체성을 '개방성과 혼종성'이라는 보편적 가치로 확장하고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. <안티고네>는 퀘벡영화의 '이주 글쓰기' 전통을 계승하면서, 글로벌 시대의 보편적 가치관인 '혼종적 정체성'을 추구하며 퀘벡영화를 재영토화해 나가는 '뉴 퀘벡 시네마(New Quebec Cinema)'의 새로운 흐름을 상징하는 작품이다.

As Oedipa Mass, the heroine of Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, is apparently associated with Oedipus, the hero in Sophocles' tragedy, this paper aims to show some of their similarities in quest theme and plot development as well as in the use of dramatic irony. Oedipus the King opens with a priest's pleas to relieve the Theban people from a plague and the king's promise to rid its cause by avenging the murder of the former king, as told by the oracle. Lot 49 begins as a Los Angeles law firm informs Oedipa that she is named as the executrix in her former lover Inverarity's will to sort out the mogul's estate. Ironically, however, Oedipus' investigation reveals himself to be the very cause of the national disaster, the murderer for whom he searched. Likewise, Oedipa starts her inquiry dedicating herself to make sense out of what Inverarity had left behind, only to find that the legacy was America. Sophocles and Pynchon both employ dramatic irony to provide a controlling principle for plot development in their works. In Oedipus the King, Sophocles creates mounting tension as well as distance between the reader's knowledge and the protagonist's ignorance, compressing the play's action into the moment that Oedipus discovers his real identity. For dramatic irony, however, Pynchon tends to work through authorial comments and utilize allegorical meanings of the characters' names, directing his novel at illuminating Oedipa's discovery of Inverarity's legacy as well as the meaning of Tristero, an underground postal service system. Unlike Oedipus the King that proceeds on a single line of action, Lot 49 develops in esoteric, multi-layered allusions and intricately-interrelated double strains involving Oedipa's roles as executrix and quester. At the end of Sophocles' tragedy, Oedipus stabs his eyes and decides to live in exile, realizing that, blinded, he begot his children through his mother; Oedipa comes to a painful realization that she allowed her former lover to create death-orienting America without her diversity and moral system in old times. As Oedipa now discovers herself through her search for Tristero, her tragic spirit lies in her determination to confront her binary choices between two Americas: transcendence or entropy, the Tristero possibility or Inverarity's America. Ultimately, Oedipa tries to find who will be the bidder for the Tristero forged stamps designated as lot 49, awaiting the auctioneer's cry and the "crying" of a new-born America.

Background: Postoperative (PO) pain interferes with the recovery and mobilization of the surgical patients. The impact of the educational status has not been studied adequately up to now. Methods: This prospective study involved 400 consecutive general surgery patients. Various factors known to be associated with the perception of pain including the educational status were recorded as was the preoperative and postoperative pain and the analgesia requirements for the $1^{st}$ PO week. Based on the educational status, we classified the patients in 3 groups and we compared these groups for the main outcomes: i.e. PO pain and PO analgesia. Results: There were 145 patients of lower education (junior school), 150 patients of high education (high school) and 101 of higher education (university). Patients of lower education were found to experience more pain than patients of higher education in all postoperative days (from the $2^{nd}$ to the $6^{th}$). No difference was identified in the type and quantity of the analgesia used. The subgroup analysis showed that patients with depression and young patients (< 40 years) had the maximum effect. Conclusions: The educational status may be a significant predictor of postoperative pain due to various reasons, including the poor understanding of the preoperative information, the level of anxiety and depression caused by that and the suboptimal request and use of analgesia. Younger patients (< 40), and patients with subclinical depression are mostly affected while there is no impact on patients over 60 years old.
