그동안 신화적 모티브를 바탕으로 만들어진 애니메이션을 살펴보면 신화적 상상력을 시청각적 감각에만 의존하여 현실과는 무관한 환상성에 기대거나, 계몽적 메시지를 지나치게 내세워 선과 악의 대립 구도로 활용해온 측면이 강하다. 이에 본 논문은 신화적 모티프를 적극적으로 활용하여 만든 단편 애니메이션<오늘이>를 텍스트로 하여 1) 신화적 상상력의 현대적 해석에 따른 작가의식의 반영 여부 2) 인류 보편의 주제화에 대한 내적 의미의 포함 여부 등을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 그리고 그 분석을 토대로 신화적 모티브를 바탕으로 한 애니메이션에 있어서 가장 중요한 것은 신화적 소재의 이미지와 소리 등의 감각적 구현에 앞서 신화적 소재가 가진 '보편성'의 주제를 현대적 시각으로 재해석하는 작가의식이라는 결론을 도출하였다. 이러한 분석의 결과물들은 앞으로 신화적 요소들이 애니메이션 창작에 어떻게 접목, 활용되어야 할 것인가에 대한 고민을 해결하는데 도움이 될 것이라 기대한다.

Vesely explains, the main source of our confusion and nihilism comes most probably from the ambiguous relationship between modem architecture, technology and aesthetics. Also, to overcome such crucial problems, many theorists recently emphasize to take part in cultural civilization and to preserve creative genes of great culture that is based on our interpretation of 'ethical and mythical nucleus of mankind,' rather than in technical modernization that constitutes a sort of subtle destruction of mytho-ethical nucleus of a society. They for architecture also strongly stress on a mythopoetic imagination and an ontological construction of building, which could make a form symbolic and mythical rather than mathematical and aesthetic representation. On this point, 'myth' becomes a vital idea for constructing and construing architectural form and space. And it is also one of the essential concepts to understand both the motive power of cultural continuation of place and the meaning of architecture. Nevertheless, its meaning and the citation of word in architectural essay are still obscure. It might be because the original concept of myth not only has been lain in the matter of philosophical contemplation. Thus, the intention of the research is focused on lightening the meaning of myth in architectural term. Especially, it is, first, concentrated on interpreting philosopher Ernst Cassirer's reflections which were written in order to emphasize the importance of 'mythical consciousness' for the world's cultural civilization. And, the second, it will continue to interpret the myth as a sign within the semiotic concept of Charles Sanders Peirce, and further to emphasis the significance of mythic signs for the continuance of artistic and cultural idea including architecture. The contents of the paper is not that of architectural planning and design methodology, rather architectural philosophy and epistemology. Nevertheless, in regard to architecture, the research will, against today's un-discriminated use of symbolic motifs and instrumental representation of form, suggest a concrete architectural and aesthetic theory of myth and sign, especially of the relationship between the idea of semiology and the function of cultural continuity.

This study explores Witi Ihimaera's The Whale Rider (1987) from ecological and postcolonial perspectives. Ihimaera is one of the prominent Maori writers who have critically voiced their concerns about the fragmentation of Maori tradition and the alienation of an environmentally friendly culture in New Zealand. Throughout the novel The Whale Rider, with his mythic imagination and cultural sensitivity, Ihimaera raises ecological awareness in terms of environmental justice and promotes critical consciousness regarding sociocultural and histo-political realities of the Maori people as alienated others in their ancestors' land. Revolving around the developmental process of a young Maori girl named after a mythical Maori ancestor Kahutia Te Rangi also known as the Whale Rider to inherit the Maori leadership, the novel describes the historical, cultural, emotional landscape of the Maori community in the white-centered society of New Zealand. In particular, this paper analyzes the leaving and homing process of narrator Rawiri which is deeply embedded in Maori myth and philosophy toward an eco-friendly culture and postcolonial reality. Indeed, Ihimaera skillfully juxtaposes young man Rawiri's experience outside the Maori community and young girl Kahu's life at the Maori home. In the end, while Kahu achieves her destiny in a mythical way to foster a new vision of harmonious co-existence that is rooted in Maori heritage and compatible with Western culture, Rawiri comes to understand the interrelatedness of all existence and embraces both the rational knowledge of scientific empiricism and the traditional knowledge of spiritual experiences. The novel The Whale Rider was also turned into a film by New Zealand's most influential female film director Niki Caro in 2002, and the film Whale Rider received international acclaim.

Architecture is a shelter for society whose social pattern requires a specific form to accord with its material and spiritual needs. Providing a truly acceptable architecture requires our deeper understanding of cultural tradition - mythic values - not only because myth is an interpreted and configured form of 'thing' through man's second nature, such as his subjective and objective consciousness -'self-revelation of the absolute'- but also because, in the world of mythical imagination, a fragment of substantial reality -'thing'- becomes an equivalent mode to the signification, and emerges as 'its independent spiritual form' and 'the characteristic force of the logos.' In this sense, myth of place and myth behind tectonic form are the most essential sources for comprehending people's relationship to the world of inner and conscious experience. The recent efforts of modern architects to achieve cultural continuity should begin with re-interpretation and configulation of the myths behind describable material culture, especially artistic imagination inspired by deeper understanding of the myth of place. Myth provide artists with a creative inspiration, as they did in the past.

In this paper, I will explore disparate voices embedded in the interactions of stories in which personal, cultural, historical, and mythical consciousness brings up diverse ideas about the experiences of Native Americans. The accommodation of differences and changes is clearly manifested through the healing ceremony of Tayo, which poses some practical questions: what could be the authentic tradition of Native Americans?; which direction should it be led to? As these questions suggest, Tayo needs to think over and work through the way that Native oral stories will enrich the signification of being Indian within multicultural U. S. society. In other words, Tayo should transfer the oppositional relationship between Anglo and Native American world into an interactive one to bring forth new meanings concerning their interactions. As a hybrid, Tayo begins to recognize that his fragmented consciousness could represent the pervasive but surmountable anxiety about the cultural clash between Native and White Americans. Going through the multiple layers of his stories, Tayo learns that Native Americans need to hold a balanced viewpoint firmly: this demonstrates that storytelling brings restoration and renewal to him. As a result of Betonie's healing ceremony and his intimate relationship with Ts'eh, Tayo comes to have a holistic comprehension about how all the living things are interconnected to one another. After acquiring this recognition, Tayo succeeds in his quest to get back Josiah's cattle and recovers his identity as a Laguna Pueblo Indian, still letting diverse voices, cultures, and stories flow into the process of storytelling. As the last scene in which the conversations among Tayo, Auntie, and Grandmother took place illustrates, Tayo has newly secured a position that will require him to create a new, alternative story, not just repeating previous stories.

The death scenes are the culmination of both Doris Lessing's "To Room Nineteen" and Toni Morrison's Sula. Lessing's Susan, an intelligent white English woman, gradually loses the meaning of life as awealthy housewife in the patriarchal society and commits suicide as her solution in Room Nineteen of Fred's Hotel. Morrison's Sula, an African-American woman, grows up without having the normal ego under Eva's matriarchy in a black community named the Bottom. Sula, after Nel's marriage, becomes a symbol of evil to her community and drifts down to death in Eva's bed. Reading these two death stories from the perspective of Jung's archetypal psychology, Susan is not able to continue to live a meaningful life because her life energy is cut off from its source which is in the unconscious. According to Jung, the symbol is the medium of the psychic energy from the unconscious to consciousness. In modern society which is represented by intelligence, the religious and mythical symbols are removed by rationalism, which means disconnection of the flow of life energy from the unconscious. Susan's death can be read as a kind of creating symbol to connect the modern people to the source of life energy. Sula's case is the opposite of Susan's. She remains in the unconscious world without having the proper ego in the absurd reality of racial and sexual problems. Sula finally rises again in Nel's awareness, becoming a symbol of the feminine goddess like goddess Inanna.

본고에서는 『전경(典經)』의 강증산(姜甑山) 언설에 수용된 신화와 문학 자료를 대상으로 그것들이 『전경』 텍스트의 고유한 종교 신학적 맥락 안에서 어떻게 의미화 되었는지, 그 전유(專有)의 상황과 원리를 고찰해 보았다. 먼저 『전경』에서의 신화 수용을 강태공(姜太公), 사명(司命), 치우(蚩尤), 우사(雨師), 조왕(竈王), 망량(魍魎), 개고기, 동도지(東桃枝) 등을 대상으로 살펴보았는데 이들 중의 상당수가 동이계(東夷系) 신화와 상관되며 민간에 깊게 뿌리를 둔 습속이라는 사실이 주목된다. 이는 강증산의 단학파(丹學派)적 성향, 수정주의적 역사의식, 민중의식 등과 상관된다. 다음으로 『전경』에서의 문학 수용을 시와 산문, 소설로 나누어 살펴보았는데 시의 경우 강증산의 시재(詩才)와 취향에 바탕하여 당시(唐詩), 창작시 등이 수용되었고 산문, 소설의 경우 『서경(書經)』, 『사기(史記)』, 『삼국연의(三國演義)』, 『서유기(西遊記)』, 『서주연의(西周演義)』 등이 수용에 상당한 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다. 이들은 예언, 치병, 수련 등의 다양한 방식으로 운용되었는데 고전 명구(名句)나 소설이 지닌 대중적 감화력이 이 과정에서 종교적으로 전유되어 힘을 발휘했음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 『전경』에서 신화, 문학적 상상력이 어떤 메카니즘에 의해 증산 신학으로 전화되었는지를 살펴보았는데 문자와 이미지의 주술적 역량, 시가 문학의 감성인식 기능과 표현 특성, 미메시스의 재현 혹은 창조 능력 등이 신화, 문학적 상상력뿐만 아니라 공사 거행에 대해서도 적극적인 기능을 발휘하였음을 알 수 있었다. 이들 3가지 설명 기제(機制)는 『전경』 언술의 의미화 과정을 파악하는 데에 일정한 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 종합하면 강증산의 삼교합일적, 회통적 인식을 바탕으로 전개된 신화, 문학적 상상력은 지배문화의 정통론적인 관념을 돌파하여 증산 신학의 민중성, 보편성을 구현하는 데에 일조하였다. 아울러 그것은 강증산의 구세 이념을 광포(廣布)하는 데에 큰 역할을 했을 뿐만 아니라 고유의 종교 법술로 변용되어 공사 수행의 중요한 방편으로 기능하였다.

This writing, focused on by Tarkovsky and by Song, Il-gon, examines moments of sage which is what Eliade described as 'hierophanic time'. These productions, which can be seen as movies that seek after the truth, show important paradoxical ideas and expressions in those moments. This is because symbolic messages from unrealistic and out of ordinary images are specifically shown. If they had to be compared, through the film by Tarkovsky, the technical civilization of contemporary society in an apocalyptic view is criticized and saved, or the prophetic will to not give up the desire for salvation is shown. In the process, the short shots which forces to show hierophanic time not only diversely visualized the author's ideological self-consciousness towards the conversion of the new world, but it also fulfills the metahistorical meanings mentioned by Eliade. However, in the film by Song, Il-gon, the realistic personal sufferings of three women is specifically shown first in extreme. They overcome their unsolvable problems through mysterious rituals and belief in miracles. In the scenes that include hierophanic time, there are many cases that cover Christian faith and the meaning of salvation. In other words, we can say that hierophanic time in , are related to conviction which led to moments of miracles in order to overcome reality. Therefore, even though there is a difference in the way authors use hierophanic time, the scenes that show it in the two movies display individuality of mythical imaginations disclosed by Eliade. This is because the general hope for reproduction, or meaningful symbols related to the ideal conversion of affairs are revealed.
