  • Death of a Salesman is centered on Willy Loman trying to achieve the American dream and taking his family along for the ride. This paper explores the meaning of his suicide in the work through the Adorno's theory on the individual's reification and commodity by an exchange value in the capitalism and argues that Bourdieu's capital classification shows the cause of his tragic decision. Reification refers to "the structural process whereby the commodity form permeates life in capitalist society." and Adorno called the reification of consciousness an epiphenomenon. The social-psychological level in Adorno's diagnosis serves to demonstrate the effectiveness and pervasiveness of late capitalist exploitation. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital can exist three forms: in the embodied state, in the objectifed state and in the instituionalized state. He states embodied capital is argued to be the most significant influence; however unlike other forms of capital (social, economic, etc.) obtaining embodied capital is largely out of the individuals' control as it is developed from birth. In conclusion, I suggest Death of a Salesman can be interpreted as a text criticizing the internalization of the subject, which is the result of the self-destructive mechanism of the subject in the logic of modern subject formation.

  • This study considers Huewa悔窩 Anjung-gwan安重觀's self-consciousness and the recognition of the world. Anjung-gwan resents that fact that Qing淸 rules over China. He insists that Chosun朝鮮 must remain faithful to Ming明. But Chosun served Qing in those days. He holds strongly to his belief until his death. So he chooses living in retirement in his life. In Anjung-gwan's poems, we can see that a certain circle of Chosun Confucianists believe in Sojunghwa小中華, which is small-Sinocentrism. In the first half of the eighteenth-century, some Chosun Confucianists feel sad about the situation that stops them from realizing their ideals. But they take pride in natural beauty and configuration of Chosun. And they pay attention to the life of Chosun masses. They recognize Chosun, which is Hwa華, has to keep self-respect to the last.

  • 이 글은 현대시조의 다양한 주제 양식에 대한 관심에서 시작하여 시조의 제재를 시인의 자아, 혹은 인간사의 내면에 깃든 근원적 문제에 천착해 주제로 형상화한 작품을 세 가지 영역으로 나누어 살펴보았다. 첫째, 자아성찰과 시인의 자의식과 시인의식을 주제로 다룬 시조에는 메타시조 형식의 시, 시 쓰기에 대한 '시론'격의 작품 등이 있다. 시인 자신이 자아에 대한 인식이 치열할수록 현실적 자아와 이상적 자아 사이의 갈등을 통해 '부끄러움'을 느끼지만 이를 극복하고 의미 있는 시를 창작하고자 하는 진지한 자세와 시인의식 이 주제로 표출된다. 둘째, 인간이 직면할 수밖에 없는 죽음의 문제를 다룬 시조는 죽음의 타나톱시스(Thanatopsis: 사관(死觀))를 표현한다 그러나 죽음에 대한 철학적 성찰과 깊은 담론보다는 직정적인 감정과 죽음에 대한 단상들이 표현되고 있어 이러한 주제에 대한 형상화는 운문보다는 산문의 영역에서 보다 효과적으로 표현될 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 죽음에 관한 다양한 제재가 시조의 영역에서 주제화되는 것은 현실적 삶의 태도를 돌아보고, 생의 깊은 이면에 깃들인 인간의 본질적 문제에 관심을 갖게 한다는 점에서 의미 있는 일이다. 셋째, 인간과 신에 대한 근원적 문제를 제기하는 주제의식은 주로 기독교적 세계관을 토대로 창작된 작품을 통해 나타난다. 이러한 주제를 다루는 시조의 경우 속악하고 부조리한 현실의 삶을 방관하는 신의 의지에 대한 항의와 불만, 이기적 욕망으로 인해 고뇌하는 인간의 모습을 그리고 있다 그럼에도 불구하고 기독교적 사유를 바탕으로 쓰인 시조에는 역설적으로 신의 섭리에 대한 순명이 나타난다. 이러한 유형의 시조는 기독교 세계관과 종교적 신앙을 주제로 표현할지라도 시인이 지닌 자유로운 시 정신과 창작태도가 있다면 생경한 종교적 언어에 함몰되지 않고. 호교적 신앙시로 축소되지 않을 수 있다는 가능성을 보여준다. 위에서 살펴본 몇 가지 주제들은 우리 시조의 관심을 피상적인 현실의 문제를 넘어 생의 깊은 국면으로 전환해 그 이면에 깃들인 인간의 자아의식과 고독, 삶과 죽음, 절대적 존재에 대한 물음 등을 다루고 있다는 점에서 시인의식의 지평을 넓히고 현대시조의 주제 의식을 심화하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

  • Single subcutaneous administration to S.D rats of both sexes was performed to investigate the acute toxicity of Syndella gel, a new topical drug containing deproteinised dialysate of calf's blood and micronomicin sulfate. $LD_{50}$ values for S. D rats were 23,047 mg/kg for male and 23,725 mg/kg for female. The death occurred within 24 hours after administration at doses over 19,200 mg/kg. The main cause of death seemed to be respiratory disturbance by acute shock. Major general symptoms induced by injection subcutaneously with Syndella gel were underactivity, decreased respiratory rate, salivation, tremor and loss of consciousness. No significant body weight changes and gross findings of internal organs in treatment groups in comparison with those of control groups was observed at any dose levels in Syndella gel.

환경과 의식의 재조정을 통한 생명지속성의 비전 -카렌 헤세의 『모래폭풍을 지나며』 (The Vision of Sustainability through the Readjustment of Environment and Consciousness: Karen Hesse's Out of the Dust)

  • This paper intends to suggest the positive, ecological vision of sustainability in Karen Hesse's Out of the Dust that Billie Jo Kelby recovers herself through her readjustment of interior consciousness and outer environment in her tragic situations caused by the Dust Bowl. In spite of her desires for happiness and affluence of home, she loses her mother and brother, and her musical talent as a pianist, and lies in self-abandonment. But she finally raises up herself with her courage and patience, reconciliating with the nature and ameliorating the community by taking care of the devastated landscapes. Hence it is appropriate to approach the loss-recovery process of nature and consciousness with ecological solutions, The Dust Bowl breaks down human mind and body, and eventually leads to the situations of despairs and death. Hesse proposes the primary solution that humans should reconstruct their interior consciousness and participate in recovering the nature because humans are inevitably linked with nature. In this novel, the nature takes a dynamic and active role as a catalyst, reconciling the self with other humans and settling with the conflicting situations in history and culture. This verse novel as an active, self-ordering, and corrective process gives the more intense ecological message. As Hesse defines the setting of Dirty Thirties as a channel of energy, she creates the utmost effects of ecological process that human and environment are part of a total situation, representing the transactional formulation, each conditioned by conditioning to the other. Therefore Billie Jo takes her part as an interpreter and actualizes herself, understanding the nature with metaphor and symbol. Eventually Billie Jo realizes that she should rebuild her environment not out of the dust but in the dust, accepting the reality of Dust Bowl.

  • Pliny the Elder said that multiple cultures agree that the painting began as a shadow trace. A daughter of Butades, the potter in Corinth, traced an outline around a man's shadow, and it was the very beginning of painting. In this anecdote, the profile, i. e. the portrait substitutes body of the absent lover. It makes the absent body present and replaces his place. In this context Hans Belting put the anthropological value to this visual practice. Human being made images to cope actively with the shock of death and the disappearing of body. With the aid of the representation of the bodily presence, the image struggles to resist the death. This paper is a study on the critical meaning of representation in the context of bodily survival by image. The representation is the paradoxical trick of consciousness, an ability to see something as 'there' and 'not there' at the same time. So the connection between image and the body would be suspicious. Although this relation was tight in the ancient shadow painting and the medieval effigies, the modern visual practice forsakes this connection and exposes the trick of representation. It insists that image was not real and even expels the medieval visual practice from the boundary of fine arts. The genealogy of the portraiture is formed by two different visual practices. The belief and the disbelief in the image are observed in the process of representation and anti-representation, and this ambivalence transforms the ontological meaning of portrait in the visual representation.

  • End-of-life assessments aim to help dying patients and their families plan clinical interventions in advance and prepare them for a peaceful end of life, in which the patient accepts life and death, and the family accepts the patient's departure. It is important to assess whether death is imminent within a few days, because critical hospice care is provided intensively during that period. The following five changes constitute objective evidence of the end of life: diminished daily living performance, decreased food intake, changes in consciousness and increased sleep quantity, worsening of respiratory distress, and end-stage delirium. As subjective evidence, it is suggested that sensitive perceptions of experienced nurses and the feelings of family members caring for patients should also be considered. When notifying a patient or family members that the end of life is approaching, the members of the multidisciplinary hospice team must communicate with each other, share accurate information, and provide consistent explanations. They must also listen to non-verbal communication in an empathic and supportive manner.
