  • This paper explores the political significance of a literary work, the hidden side beneath the ideology of founding America in Lydia Maria Child's Hobomok which reconstructs the history of the colonial period. The ideological strategy of founding America on racial discrimination is given a repeated representation in 19th-century American novels. Most works shed a negative light on Native Americans, whereas Hobomok stands out by presenting a positive picture of a miscegenation between a Native American man and a white woman, the acculturation of a half Indian into the white society. Furthermore, Child undoes distorted stereotypes about native Americans, exposing the Puritans' intolerant and exclusive attitudes and criticizing men who forced women to be obedient for the cause of nation and religion. However, Child also shows that she could not be free from the ideology of founding America which insisted on the superiority of the white's racial identity and excluded the Native Americans as beings who were destined to vanish gradually but eventually. Although Hobomok revises stereotypical representation of Native Americans as the other, it also serves for a political purpose, showing a politically inseparable relationship between literary works and the ideology of founding America.

  • This paper argues that (1) word-for-word literary translation is not possible; all it does is achieve what Chukovsky characterized as 'imprecise precision' (1984:47), (2) contra to Nida (1969) and others, translation does not just mean translating meaning, and (3) therefore, a translator must negotiate an uneasy but inevitable compromise between accuracy and elegance. To make the translated passage just as pleasing, moving, and cathartic as the original passage as much as possible, a great deal of literary skill is required on the part of the translator. The iniquity of translators is not so much infidelity as infertility to produce an offspring worthy of an heir to the original writer. Translators are not traitors; they are traders, or literary merchants, who trade one form of linguistic unit for another, often meaning for form, or sense for sound, but sometimes form for meaning. A translator then is not a man of treason but is a tradesman.

  • This paper looks at the literary mood of southwestern Russia in the late Russian Empire, while examining the writers of this area and their literary tendencies. Southwestern literature was formed in the late Russian Empire, and prospered centering around Odessa. Because of the uniformity in the Soviet culture, however, it could not stay alive but disappeared in the history of Russian literature. Odessa, the center of southwestern literature was a multiracial region unlike other Russian cities. A unique culture was created, therefore, combining the western European culture and local ethnicity. Jews in Odessa could enter into the Russian society and assimilate naturally. They could utilize their talents as a strength to enrich the Russian culture without giving up their cultural heritage. For example, in lingual aspects, using Yiddish was not against the Russian culture. In addition, it contributed to interesting new coinages and led to efforts among writers to minimize the gap between the two languages. Many Jewish writers showed special interest not only in Yiddish but also in French, German and other languages. Therefore, they took the lead in translating and introducing west classics. As evident in the way Yiddish language was formed, mixing their language with other languages enabled jews to soak their way into other cultures naturally. Their yearning for the Russian and western European cultures, combined with their unique sense of humor, led to generic twists and problematic experiments. From another point of view, it is also unusual that southwestern literature diversified locational settings and heroic characters in literary works. European style heros, appearance of multiracial people, pain or waggery experienced by Jews in their assimilation process, thrilling revenge to unfair violence of Russians, and espiegle swindlers are the new domains that southwestern literature pioneered. In summary, southwestern literature was formed in a heterogeneous cultural climate, which was entirely different from the Russian Empire. In this regard, it was in deviation from the Russian literary tradition. From the Soviet point of view, it existed as a heresy which was against the Russian Empire.

  • This paper focuses on the function of suicidal images in the history of art including literature. Death has been romanticized or repoliticized into an existential act of defiance and rebellion in literary works, so questions remain about the correlation between literary suicide and the essence of suicide. Although Jacques Ranciere insists that the order of art contrasts with the order of common people whose acts and gestures can express either their specific purposes nor the rationalities of their frustration, literary suicide reflects the outside life of readers. In fact, images of suicide produces the order of things about the real world. William Shakespeare's Hamlet handled two oppositional self-murder significantly. As Ron M. Brown pointed out, Hamlet, by choosing confrontation, seeks out an end which is voluntary, thus he avoids self-destruction and feels triumph of heroic fashion. Ophelia's self-chosen death stems from loss, frailty and the disintegration of reason, which demeans the act and diminishes her from the tragic to the pathetic(16). In the $19^{th}$ century, the resurrection of Ophelia acted as the context for later periods where life itself is fictionalized from the differing periods of network of signifier and texts. Finally, in Ophelia's case, fiction became life(Brown 285). Her suicidal image was fixed in the Victorian Culture whose visual discourse was strikingly similar to that of the men. Likewise, the ambiguities of the suicide became intertwined with the social, cultural issues of a certain period, and the paradigm of suicide was conformed to the changing needs of successive generations. However, if literary art understands that a European culture grappled with the almost impossible task and coming to terms with this strangest and most persistent of phenomena, it will be able to focus on of the multi-layered suicide by recognizing the inherent instability of the verbal sign which cannot reveal the design and grammar of truth.

  • 영문학자 프랑코 모레티(Franco Moretti)의 연구는 문학의 여러 방면에서 두드러진다. 교양소설 혹은 성장소설에 관한 독특한 해석, 세계문학을 보는 새로운 시각, 디지털 아카이브를 구축하여 문학사를 다시 읽는 방법, 또한 그러한 거시적인 방법을 통해 던지는 사회비평 등등, 폭 넓은 시야와 심도 있는 분석으로 다방면에 족적을 남겼다. 본 논문은 모레티의 세계문학론을, 그가 제안한 '멀리서 읽기'(distant reading)라는 거시적 방법론과 그 사례들을 살피며 타진해보고자 한다. 그의 방법론은 문학사에서 잊힌 비정전을 포함하여 거시적인 아카이브를 구성하고, 그 안에서 반복적으로 등장하는 현상을 하나의 계열로 묶어, 그 패턴의 형태적 의미를 파악하는 방식이다. 이 방법이 구체적으로 적용된 사례가 "그래프, 지도, 나무"(Graphs, Maps, Trees)라는 책이다. 이에 본 논문은 그 책에 초점을 맞추어 그가 제시한 형태론적 세계문학을 비판적으로 이해한다. 비판의 시각은 매체론, 특히 한국문학의 매체론적 관점이다. 신문과 잡지와 같은 매체에 대한 관심은 괴테가 세계문학론을 제창했을 때부터 있었고, 특히 미국의 영문학에서는 최근 정기간행물 연구(periodical studies)라는 영역이 새롭게 개척되어 다시금 주목받고 있다. 또한 한국문학에서는 서구 문예 수입, 장르의 형성, 문학의 사상화(思想化), 출판시장의 분화, 작가 등단 제도 등 근대문학 형성에 있어서 신문과 잡지와 같은 정기간행물, 혹은 매체의 역할은 따로 떼어놓고 생각할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문은 모레티의 세계문학론과 세계문학 연구를 위한 방법으로 제시된 '멀리서 읽기'를, 매체론의 한 사례인 한국 근대문학의 입장에서 바라보고, 그가 간과하고 있는 측면(문학지식의 계열화에 수반되는 물적 토대)에 근거하여 몇 가지 문제제기를 하려 한다.

  • Background: This study investigated current research trends in bee venom acupuncture in Korea. Materials and methods: The literature in Korea was reviewed using the search engines Science and Technology Society Village, Korean Studies Information Service System, National Discovery for Science Leaders, and Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System. The keywords searched were "bee venom," "apitoxin," "apitherapy," and "bee sting." We selected 412 studies, which included Korean literary studies, experimental studies, and clinical studies. Results: We classified them by publication year, research type, disease and topic, and quality assessment. Among bee venom-related studies, clinical studies (235 studies) outnumbered experimental studies (149 studies) and literary studies (28 studies). Nineteen experimental studies concentrated on the theme of "anticancer." In the type analysis of clinical studies, lumbar disorders comprised 45 of 235 studies, followed by the effect on body. Forty-two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been published from 2003 to date (2015). Twenty-two studies used appropriate randomization methods. Fourteen studies had a Jadad score of 4-5 points; 15 studies, 1-3 points; and 13 studies, 0 points. Conclusions: Bee venom treatment is based on Korean traditional medicine theory. Numerous research studies suggest its effectiveness. Effort and academic approach on bee venom are expected to receive a positive evaluation.

  • 본 연구에서는 다각적 측면에서 문화예술공간의 장소마케팅적 가능성을 살펴 지역과 문학촌의 발전 가능성을 논해보고자 하였다. 이는 문학촌이 개별의 관(館)에서 탈피하고 지역문화 가치의 중심인 촌(村)으로 기능하는 가능성을 짚어보는 것이며, 나아가 지역활성화 및 문화예술사업발전의 기여 방안을 제언하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하는 것이다. 따라서 본고에서는 '김유정문학촌', '이효석문화예술촌', '황순원문학촌소나기마을'을 선정하여 이를 기반으로 사례연구를 진행하고 그 운영 실태를 탐색하였다. 그 결과 문학촌이 유의미하고 흥미로운 콘텐츠를 지속적으로 개발하고 그 질을 높인다면 지역 사회의 중심축으로 충분히 기능할 것으로 드러났다. 이는 장소마케팅의 가능성에 대한 긍정적 영향을 시사하며, 이러한 성과를 이루기 위해서는 여타의 문화산업과 차별화시키고 신산업으로의 입지를 확보해 지역문화의 새로운 패러다임을 열어나가야 할 것이다. 이에 지역 내 문학 소모임 등을 문학촌에서 직·간접적으로 연계하여 진행하거나 공간 활용과 문학촌 내 관련 작품과 지역 교육을 연계하는 등의 접근을 제시하고자 한다.
