"공사견문록"은 정재륜(鄭載崙, 1648-1723)이 엮은 필기류이다. 177년 경 후세에 모범이 되고 징계될 만한 일을 골라 엮었다. 모두 310여 개 정도의 이야기가 실려 있는데 그 중 1/4이 여성에 관한 이야기이다. "공사견문록"에 나오는 여성들의 유형은 네 가지 정도로 요약할 수 있다. 통찰하는 여성, 근신하는 여성, 권세 남용하는 여성, 청탁하는 여성, 등이다. 통찰하는 여성은 외부 또는 내부적으로 자신을 관찰한다. 이면에 숨겨진 진실을 파악하여 지혜롭게 현실에 대응한다. 근신하는 여성은 대개 왕실의 여성들이다. 조선시대는 가정의 안정을 국가 안위의 토대로 삼았다. 그러므로 왕실 여성들은 '왕실'이라는 가정을 안정하는 데에 '근심함'을 우선으로 삼았고 그것으로써 국가 안정에 기여하고자 했다. 권세를 남용하는 여성은 남성이 가진 권력을 이용한다. 자기보다 신분이 높거나, 남성들에게 권세를 부리며, 이를 통해 국사에 간여한다. 청탁하는 여성들은 목적을 위해 복잡한 인맥을 동원하며 남성을 속이며 청탁한다. 여성들의 이런 행동은 공적인 일의 공정성, 신뢰성을 해친다. 이러한 여성의 모습을 담고 있는 "공사견문록"은 여성생활사 측면에서 다음과 같은 의의를 지닌다. 첫째, 왕실여성들-대비, 왕비, 공주, 후궁 등-의 생활 모습, 의식, 왕실 여성의 문화 양상 등을 보여준다. 둘째, 후대 여성이야기를 기록하거나 재서술하는 기초 자료이다. 이긍익은 "연려실기술"에서 다시 기록했다. 특히 한보향의 행적에 대해 김려는 <한숙원전>을, 성해응은 <한보향 이야기> 등의 제목으로 다시 쓰기도 했다. 셋째, 조선시대 궁녀들의 이야기를 담고 있다. 그리하여 궁녀들의 생활, 정치 사건이나 시사에 대한 궁녀들의 의식 등을 고찰하는 데에 유용하다. 넷째, 인물을 소개하는 데에 있어 여성을 중심으로 한다. 그래서 여성 중심의 인맥, 혼맥 등을 파악할 수 있게 한다. 다섯째, 여성들의 문학 작품과 문학 활동 양상을 보여준다.

이 글은 '며느리-단혈형 부자 패가 설화'를 통해서 한국인의 민간신앙을 살핀 것이다. 며느리-단혈 부자 패가 설화는 부잣집에 손님이 많아 괴로워하던 며느리가 시주승에게 물어서 그의 지시대로 어떤 사물을 끊었더니 손님도 끊기고 그 집도 망했다는 이야기이다. 이 이야기는 한 가문이 갑자기 망한 원인을 며느리의 탓으로 돌리는 젠더적 면이 있는 이야기이다. 하지만 며느리의 악행을 부각시키지 않고 그 고생에 대한 이해를 강조하였으므로 비윤리적인 행위와 그에 따른 징치(懲治)로 집안이 망한 것으로만 보기 어렵다. 이 이야기에는 '사물이 끊긴 것-손님이 끊긴 것-집이 망한 것'을 하나로 보는 인식이 드러난다. 인간사와 자연의 연계에 대한 인식은 결국 인간과 신령간의 흐름을 원활하게 해서 서로 잘 교류하고 소통할 때 만사가 잘 된다는 민간의 신앙을 드러낸 것이다. 또 어쩔 수 없는 인간사의 흥망을 천의(天意)로 보고 따르는 의미도 읽힌다. 요컨대 이 글을 통해 필자는 '며느리-단혈형 부자 패가 설화'에 내재되어 있는 인간과 자연, 인간과 천의의 관계망을 살폈고, 그것을 민간신앙의 면에서 풀어낸 것이다.

"Brokeback Mountain" deals with the love story between two homosexuals named Ennis and Jack. They never do use the word 'homosexual' but instead 'love.' They hide their love into the closet. And they conform to socially constructed gender roles. It is because they recognize that social order has punished the homosexuals severely through history. Especially, Ennis fears the homophobic heterosexual gaze. Through his paranoia, this article examines the conventional contradictory social order causing by the tragic story that is the homosexual "closet phenomenon." Such a phenomenon has resulted from the traditional patriarchal family system that is the central unit of society. Conventionally, patriarchy consists of a dominant male and non-dominant female system, based on force. Sexuality has been constructed, experienced, and understood in culturally and historically specific ways. Homosexuality has been imaged conventionally as a female disguised as a man. As such, homosexuality would violate and break such a constructed system that keeps the sexual hierarchy through male dominant construction. As homosexual, ironically with macho gender personas, Ennis and Jack are social outsiders. Through this story, Proulx suggests the conventional fixed social order is contradictory and, therefore forces the readers to re-consider the world and ponder about the future.

In "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," Flannery O'Connor describes a striking journey of a family, in which all the members dramatically get killed. Through the tragic death of Bailey's family, O'Connor evokes the reader to think about life and the life after death. Growing up in the communities of Catholicism and Protestantism, O'Connor herself had agonized with the same question between the two types of Christian belief throughout her life. In the story, O'Connor embodies her anguish with the major characters and questions the reader about the meaning of Christian salvation. More specifically, Bailey's family represent the people who get lost in life. They live without any direction and purpose. Red Sammy and his wife, on the other hand, provide travellers with rest, food, and the necessaries. The Tower is a shelter of travellers in life; however, it is not everlasting but temporary. The Misfit, exemplifying religious stragglers, has been completely frustrated with the variance of Christian salvation theories, and no longer practices the religion but knows enough to justify his cruel behaviors. Finally, the grandmother is the manipulator and opportunist of the religion. All those characters are fragments of human characters and their life - obscene and transitory. In the story, there is little God's grace on the surface even though the writer claims "all my stories are about the action of grace." Nonetheless, the reader should be able to identify with those characters because they are the mirror images of themselves. While visualizing the characters, O'Connor wants the reader to have a moment to think about the "Righteousness," and ultimately to seek out God's grace that she essentially wishes to show the reader. Instead of showing God's grace directly, O'Connor ultimately leads the reader to consider about God and the grace as she/he reads the work.

An emotion inference task was used to investigate children's cognitive cuing by age, cue type, and situation-emotion fit. Subjects were 41 of 3-, and 5-year-old children from two different day-care centers in Seoul and Kyonggi province. Each child was individually interviewed with pictorial tasks. 5-year-old children demonstrated more cuing, thinking, and application responses than 3-year-old children. Particularly, they showed more situation and thinking responses in situation-emotion match than in situation-emotion mismatch. 3-year-old children showed more past-oriented responses than 5-year-old children. In the interpersonal cue story, there were more situation, past-oriented and thinking responses than in the interobjective ones. The interpersonal cue story produced more situation responses in situation-emotion match than in situation-emotion mismatch.

The attachment representation of 40 36- to 52-month-old upper-middle class children was analyzed in relation to their attachment security and mother-child interaction behaviors. Instruments were the Attachment Story Completion Task(Bretherton, Ridgeway, & Cassidy, 1990), the Attachment Q-set, and the Vocabulary test of the K-WIPPSI. Mother-child interaction behaviors were observed at home during semi-structured problem-solving situations. The Attachment Story Completion Task classified Korean preshoolers from these upper-middle class families as securely attached to their mothers. Girls' representation of their attachment relationship was more secure than boys. Preschoolers' attachment representation was significantly related to vocabulary ability. Attachment security correlated positively with preschool children's attachment representation. Mother-child interaction behaviors related significantly to preschool children's attachment representation.

Seventy 5-year-old children from two day-care classes participated in this eight-week program. The experimental class used the computer software of 'Stanley's Sticker Stories.' The comparison class used paper and pencil. Data analysis was implemented by ANCOVA and t-test. Significant differences were found between the experimental and comparison groups in story telling ability by story structure, imagination, vocabulary, sentence structure, and creativity showing that picture storybook making activities with the computer was more effective than traditional picture storybook making activities.
