  • This article compares the concepts of divine incarnation as expounded in Daesoon Thought and in Christianity and questions the essence of the divinity in both traditions. In Daesoon Thought, The Supreme God, Sangje, saw major disorganization leading to extreme violence and doom and decided to incarnate on earth under the human form of Kang Jeungsan (1871-1909). Then the living God taught the solution to human suffering through the revelations he sent in 1917 to Jo Cheol-Je, or Jo Jeongsan (1895-1958) and the revelations were passed on to Dojeon Park Wudang who in 1969 founded Daesoon Thought. In Christianity, God incarnated in his son, Jesus Christ, who allowed for the radical transformation of the condition of man through his physical sacrifice. Daesoon differs in that Sangje did not offer himself as sacrifice when he came on earth but reorganized the world and taught how to apply benevolence to establish the Earthly Paradise. The affirmation that Daesoon Jinrihoe is both monotheistic and polytheistic is then analyzed. If the concept of monotheism seems to differ vastly between the two traditions, it appears that biblical monotheism is itself relatively young in the history of world religions so that Christianity has ancient roots germane to those of Daesoon Jinrihoe. The article concludes on the originality of this religion: though it is built on Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, it has transformed their vision of the deity and of its message in a most convincing manner.

  • 요르고스 란티모스의 <킬링 디어>는 그리스 3대 비극작가 중 한명인 에우리피데스의 『아울리스의 이피게네이아』를 원형서사로 삼고 있다. 그리하여 란티모스는 현대 미국 대도시의 영화적 디제시스 내에 '신적 존재에 의한 피의 폭력'으로 물든 신화적 세계를 도입하면서 저주와 희생양이라는 신화적 모티브를 변주한다. 본 논문은 <킬링 디어>의 현대의 시공간에 구축된 신화적 세계를 통하여 인류의 가장 오래된 집단적 희생위기 탈출 기제인 희생양 메커니즘과 욕망과 폭력의 모방적이고 상호적인 특성을 르네 지라르를 경유하여 읽어보고자 했다. 영화 속에서 마틴은 스티븐을 아버지의 자리에 놓으려고 한 자신의 욕망이 좌절되자, 스티븐에게 저주의 신탁을 내린다. 그 순간 두 사람의 '좋은' 상호성은 급격하게 '나쁜' 상호성으로 변환된다. 영화는 스티븐의 가족을 통하여 희생양 메커니즘이 작동하는 방식을 탁월하게 묘사한다. 제비뽑기에 의한 희생양 선택은 그 신명심판적 (神命審判的) 성격에 힘입어 희생양에게 성스러운 특성을 부여하고, 희생양은 성스러운 존재가 되며 가족의 질서는 재구축 된다. <킬링 디어>는 오래된 신화적 소재를 통해 관객들에게 존재의 근원을 경험하고 그것을 성찰하게 함으로써 고뇌와 고통이 존재의 근원임을 깨닫게 한다.

  • The main narrative of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice deals with a dispute over the matter of bond in regard to moneylending, and its consequences upon the eventual default. Only the clever interference of a lawyer or judge brings the crisis to an end. In solving his dispute over the bond between Antonio, the merchant of Venice, and Shylock, the money lender and a Jew, Shakespeare offers one of the most famous trial scenes in literature. This trial scene presents the art of arbitration by Portia who was disguised as a Doctor of Law and sheds light on the nature of law, justice, equity, and divine law. What one cannot overlook in this trial scene is the importance of reading ability. After all, interpretation is the next stage of reading. Drawing just verdicts and wise arbitration while at the same time deconstructing the implicit violence and incongruity in law is based on ceaseless effort of analytic and creative act of reading.
