  • 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.

  • Focusing on the hermeneutic instability of a key word of Paradise Lost, "wander," this study attempts to situate John Milton's early modern epic in the longue $dur{\acute{e}}e$ historical transition from seignorial to capitalist mode of production, especially the displacement and reorganization of producer population, a corollary of early phase of modernization. The historic experience of vagrancy and its normalization, and the concomitant shift of the primary human sociability from given to voluntary bonds, I suggest, shape and inform Milton's early modern rewriting of the Biblical story of the fall and his revising of the heroic epic romance into a plebeian romance of a wandering, companionate couple. While building on the critical consensus on this poem's deliberate distancing from the tradition of classical epic and chivalric romance, this essay argues that Milton re-appropriates and re-channels the aspirational aspect of chivalric wandering, or mobility, for his plebeian heroes, a companionate conjugal couple. The hermeneutic instability of the word wander, this essay suggests, captures the duality of the historic experience of vagrancy, both the tragic experience of displacement and the liberational and uplifting dimension of that experience.

  • The article focuses on the impact and Acceptance of Hindu culture in Modern Southeast Asian Buddhism. The purpose of this study is to examine critically the influential epic Ramayana on Siam culture, Thai Ramayana version 'Ramakien', reveal instances of Buddhist Modification. The Ramayana by the great sage Valmiki is considered by Indians to be the first great literary work to be produced in India. The influence of this work is to be seen not only through centuries but even in other countries, such as Thailand where there are modified modern versions. In this paper, I have three objectives : (1) I may discuss the epic Ramayana of India gave birth to the Ramakien of Thailand. In modern times Valmiki's epic was made to fit the spiritual trends current in the new Chakri dynasty, which were themselves based on Brahmanic tradition and Theravada buddhism. With regarding to the structure of the Traibhumi cosmography, and the relationship between merit and power implied by this cosmography ranks all beings from demons to deities in a hierarchy of merit which accrues according to karma the actions of past lives. (2) I analyze how to have attempted to dissect the Hindi and Thai version of the Ramayana. The Hindu concept of kingship is also depicted in the life of Rama. The Hindus see in Rama the norm of a true Hindu life characterized by the Caste and Dharma. In Thai transformed version, it does not preach Hindu values of personal or social life. The Ramakien emphasized that the Buddhism were higher than all other laws, and that the King is regarded as the incarnation of Phra Ram, and thus is also the narration of the righteous buddhist ruler. (3) I discuss how cultural or social contexts can influence the structure of the royal Wat. The whole epic was painted by the order of Rama I in the galleries of the Wat Phra Keo. In other words, it is the very centre of the dynastic cult enshrining the Emerald Buddha, the most iconic expression of the Ramakien tradition were officially amalgamated. Rama I was continued the process of elaborating and stabilizing the complex religious pattern, with Buddhism at the pinnacle. My finding will support the idea that the Ramakien is particularly appealing to the Thai people because it presents the image of an ideal king, Rama, who symbolizes the force of virtue or dharma while Thotsakan represents the force of evil. Eventually the force of good prevails. Being Buddhists, the Thai poets bring into the story the Buddhist philosophy(especially, the law of cause and effect, karma). This paper examines the role of the Hindu epic Ramayana in the historical and cultural contact between Hindu India and Buddhist Southeast Asia. It should now be possible to evaluate what elements of Hindu culture were transmitted into Thai through the Rama story.

  • This study tries to evaluate the similarities and differences between Paradise Lost and the Journey to the West through the characteristics of Satan and Monkey King. In Paradise Lost, the spirit of Satan revolts God is just like the spirit of Bourgeois revolts the Feudal Aristocracy; however, Monkey King's figure in the Journey to the West is a character with rebellious spirits. In the western world, they often advocate punishments afterward, while the eastern world notes social orders and rules. Although eastern epics have distinct differences toward western epics due to the different cultural and historical backgrounds, the results that the winners at the end always get supreme powers are the same.

  • This study focused on difference of the nation's concept between Ko un's Baekdusan and Lee uk's Gohyangsaramdul, Pungungi. These works are epics restructure nation's history. A epic's story provides framework of recognition to social members. An individual and community accept their story and then stories construct pesonal identity and community's identity. So we can say a epic configurates national identity by story nation history and nation territory. The nation's concept is understood steadfast and very pure as like a blood relationship in Korea. This is aspects of Korean nationalism. But the Nation is modern, social and historical concept. That is different from ethnic identity. This way throws open the door to analyze nation identity. Ko un's Baekdusan narrates permanence and sacralization of the nation for emphasizing the unification of North Korea and South Korea. Baekdusan expresses the social desire of Korea in the 1980s. In comparison, Lee uk's Gohyangsaramdul representate ambivalent attitude. One is a position as a settler and the other is a new master of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. So Gohyangsaramdul narrates and remembers their motherland Chosun. But Pungungi exclude recognition of Chosun as motherland. This work's narration focuses on association with struggle of classes and anti-Japanese Movement during the Japanese colonial period. Because these events are able to unity Korean and Chines. Three works deal with same history and same background, but those show defferent recognition about the Nation. Because each society has different social desire and expect different future. The present desire and future prospect construct nation identity.

  • In the Iranian epic $K{\bar{u}}shn{\bar{a}}ma$, there is a rather interesting story that recounts how the inhabitants of $B.s{\bar{i}}l\bar{a}$ cross-breed their domesticated horses with a magical horse living in the sea in order to obtain fine-bred ones. What is even more interesting is that similar accounts are also seen in many of other classical Perso-Arabic works and Chinese sources. The regions that such events took place in mainly spread over Central Asia and western China while in $K{\bar{u}}shn{\bar{a}}ma$, the story happens in $B.s{\bar{i}}l\bar{a}$, a legendary kingdom with its historical prototype being Silla. By sorting out certain records of how ancient people sought fine horses by cross-breeding domesticated horses with wild horses that inhabited mountains and waters within Chinese sources and classical Muslim works, and comparing these accounts with similar plot lines as depicted in $K{\bar{u}}shn{\bar{a}}ma$, this paper attempts to elucidate that the story in $K{\bar{u}}shn{\bar{a}}ma$ is a result of flourishing land and maritime exchanges between East Asia and West Asia during ancient and medieval times, rather than a purely literary fiction. It was not only influenced by the horse culture that thrived over the Eurasian Steppe, but the story is also coincidentally in accordance with the fact that the nomadic zone which lies within the central Eurasian continent extends as far as the Korean Peninsula in northeast Asia.

  • This paper investigates the development and aesthetics of Korean political theatre from its quickening period 1920s to democratization era 1990s. Political theatre before 90s developed an antithesis resistant movement toward Korean modern history that had been scattered with suppressing political circumstances such as colonial era and dictatorial government, the movement has powerful activity and social influences. Just like the 20 century political theatre had been quickened under the influence of Marxism at Russia and Germany in 1920s, Korea's political theatre began in socialism theatre movement form around the same time. Proletarian theatre groups had been founded in Japan and Korea, and developed into practical movement with organized connection. However, the political theatre movement in Japanese colonial era was an empty vessel makes great sound but not much accomplishments. Most performance had been canceled or disapproved by suppression or censorship of the Japanese Empire. The political theatre in liberation era was the left drama inherited from Proletarian theatre of the colonial era. Korean Theatre alliance took lead the theatrical world unfold activities based on theatre popularization theory such as 'culture activists' taking a jump up the line and 'independent theatre' peeping into production spot as well as the important event, Independence Movement Day Memorial tournament theatre. Since 1947, US army military government in Korea strongly oppressed the left performances to stop and theatrical movement was ended due to many left theatrical people defection to North Korea. The political theatre in 1960s to 70s the Park regime, developed in dramatically different ways according to orthodox group and group out of power. The political theatre of institutional system handled judgment on sterile people and had indirect political theatre from that took history material and allegory technique because of censorship. In political theatre out of institution, it started outdoor theatre that has modernized traditional performance style and established deep relationship with labor spot and culture movement organizations. Madangguek(Outdoor theatre) is 'Attentive political theatre', satirizing and offending the political and social inconsistencies such as the dictatorial government's oppression and unbalanced distribution, alienation of general people, and foreign powers' pillage sharply as well as laughing at the Establishment with negative characters. The political theatre in 1980s is divided into two categories; political theatre of institutional system and Madangguek. Institutional Political theatre mainly performed in Korea Theatre Festival and the theatre group 'Yeonwoo-Moudae' led political theatre as private theatre company. Madangguek developed into an outdoor theatrical for indoor theatre capturing postcolonial historical view. Yeonwoo-Moudae theatre company produced representative political plays at 80s such as The chronicles of Han's, Birds fly away too, and so on by combining freewheeling play spirit of Madangguek and epic theatre. Political theatre was all the rage since the age of democratization started in 1987 and political materials has been freed from ban. However, political theatre was slowly declined as real socialism was crumbling and postmodernism is becoming the spirit of the times. After 90s, there are no more plays of ideology and propaganda that aim at politicization of theatre. As the age rapidly entered into the age of deideology, political theatre discourse also changed greatly. The concept 'the political' became influential as a new political possibility that stands up to neoliberalism system in the evasion of politics. Rather than reenact political issues, it experiments new political theatre that involves something political by deconstructing and reassigning audience's political sense with provocative forms, staging others and drawing discussion about it.

  • 영화 <기생충>은 봉준호 감독과 대한민국을 세계 일류 국가 반열에 올린 작품이다. 수많은 연구자들이 다양한 시선으로 자신들의 관심분야에 따라 <기생충>에 관한 연구 성과를 발표했다. 본고는 블랙코미디 장르가 영화에 도입된 역사적 사실들을 알아보고 연극에서 출발한 블랙코미디가 베케트, 이오네스코, 뒤렌마트, 브레히트 같은 현대작가들의 시선을 거치면서 규정된 법칙은 아니지만 서사적 특징과 양식적 수단으로 사용되어진 장치들이 나타났다. 희비극 연극에 사용된 장치들은 영화의 블랙코미디 개념과 동일하며 영화만의 특성으로 자리매김 하고 있다. 블랙코미디의 서사적 특징인 역설, 의도·목적과 결과의 불일치, 그리고 양식적 수단으로 사용되어진 패러디, 그로테스크, 우연이라는 요소로 영화<기생충>에 나타난 영상의 의미를 해석해 본다. 봉준호 감독이 <기생충>에 사용한 블랙코미디는 세상에 어떤 의미를 던지고 관객은 그 의미를 어떻게 받아들여졌는지 살펴보고자 한다. 현대작가들이 세상을 바라보는 시선과 봉준호 감독이 바라보는 연민어린 시선이 전혀 다르지 않지만 작품의 결과는 현대작가들과 사뭇 다른 그의 영화 <기생충>의 창의성에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.
