Contemporary fashion research has paid increasing attention to the sublimity in the context of postmodernism. Sublimity is considered essential in contemporary fashion design as it arouses complex emotions which verbal expression cannot describe. Therefore, contemporary fashion designs need to be interpreted in terms of the sublimity. Through a detailed review of literature, the present study discusses Kantian and Lyotardian sublimity as main theories representing conventional and cotemporary concepts of sublimity. This paper selected five Korean fashion designers who won the prize of Samsung Design Fund from 2006 to 2019 and actively introduce their works every year. Images were collected to analyze their designs introduced from 2018 S/S to 2019F/W at their website. In addition, formative and color characteristics were analyzed to identify the changing features of s sublimity. Major findings of analyses are as follows. First, all designers' collections reflected both male and female sublimity with the respect to its formative characteristics. Color characteristics of sublimity indicated that Jeong, Wook Jun's collections represented features of male sublimity and other designers works showed elements of female sublimity. Essentially, the typical contemporary concept of the sublimity was found in the designs of Seo, Hye In. Consequently, female sublimity is more inclusive than male sublimity, while being opened to otherness.

Quân sư phụ (君師父) is a concept of respectfulness derived from the Chinese Confucian concepts of sān gāng wǔ cháng (三綱五常, the Three Principles and Five Constant Virtues) and sān cóng sì dé (三從四德, the Four Virtues Applied to the Three Male Figures) that is applied to Vietnamese Confucianism in regards to not only kings but also Chinese Emperors, as well as Chinese culture generally. In his famous literary work Vàng lửa (Golden Fire), Nguyễn Huy Thiệp revealed the Vietnamese attitude to Chinese civilization: "Our country could be characterized as nhược tiểu (弱小, small and weak). Vietnam was like a maiden forcibly deflowered by Chinese civilization. 'She' enjoyed it, but also came to hate it and feel disgraced by it" (Nguyễn 1988). This is a special sentiment or psychological complex of the Vietnamese in relation to Chinese civilization. The research findings are that the Nguyễn Huy Thiệp complex is the rationale behind which the symbol of the ancestral King Lạc Long Quân (貉龍君) was altered via SinoVietnamese motifs in order to develop Vietnamese Confucian thought.

This study compares and contrasts Freud's "work of mourning" which mostly appears in his memorable essay "Mourning and Melancholia" and Derrida's theory of mourning which appears in various works such as MEMOIRES for Paul de Man, The Work of Mourning, and others. Freud maintains that the mourner begins to sever emotional ties to the lost object through a labor of memory and eventually completes the work of mourning. It is a "testing of reality" that motivates the mourner to begin to relinquish emotional attachment to the lost object. Derrida, however, challenges Freudian work of mourning by saying that true mourning lies in "respecting the Otherness of the Other." Derrida suggests that Freud's "normal work of mourning" is "unjust betrayal" of the lost object because it "kills" and "devours" the other and thereby makes it part of the self. So he proposes that work of mourning has "to fail in order to succeed": "success fails" and "failure succeeds." There is an enormous, even epistemological, chasm between Freud who states that mourning, "however painful it may be, comes to a spontaneous end" and Derrida who states that "mourning is interminable. Inconsolable. Irreconcilable." and "I mourn Therefore I am." The former is the voice of "testing of reality" and common sense whereas the latter is that of utopian ethical vision. Yet neither seems to get the upper hand and they are kind of forced to maintain an ongoing dialogue with each other, for true mourning seems to lie somewhere in between.

Se siamo d'accordo la definizione di Deleuze e Guattari che la letteratura minore è la letteratura che costruisce una minoranza dentro la lingua maggiore, le scritture italofoniche sono la traduzione in pratica di un concetto della letteratura minore che fornisce modelli sostitutivi di espressione. Questa minoranza di bilingue, o più precisamente, multilingue autori e pratiche, acquisisce uno spazio dentro della cultura e la lingua italiana, che di conseguenza sono entrambi deterritorializzati. Lo stanziamento di italiano come lingua in cui sono scritti i testi italofonici richiede una pratica influenza linguistica e culturale. Questa ibridazione linguistica e letteraria riverbera la pluralità sociale presente nella moderna Italia, dove oltre un milione di immigrati provenienti da tutto il mondo vivono oggi. Questo collegamento tra il letterario e il sociale si diffonde il senso di deterritorializzazione linguistica per definire personificazioni di 'otherness', sia per i corpi degli immigrati stessi sia per la politica. I testi italofonici rapresentano contemporaneamente l'individuo e il collettivo, cioè, l'esperienza individuale e la vita delle comunità di immigrati.

철학자 레비나스는 주체의 해체와 탈중심화 경향이 지배적인 현대 철학에서 자아 중심적 사고를 반성하고 어떤 다른 것으로도 환원할 수 없는 타자에 대한 책임을 보여주는 '타자철학'을 구축했다. 타자의 얼굴은 주체에게 계시적으로 다가오며 그러한 타자를 환대하는 것을 통해 주체는 존재의 독립성을 경험한다. 영화 <카모메 식당>의 사치에는 나그네의 얼굴로 그녀의 공간에 찾아온 이들을 환대한다. 그녀는 그들에게 음식과 거주지를 제공하고 요소들의 위협으로부터 보호한다. 타자는 무한성을 가진 존재로 세상의 모든 것들과 연결되어 있다. 그러므로 카모메 식당의 사치에는 정직하게 정면을 향한 얼굴로 자신의 내면을 다 드러내면서 도움을 호소하는 타자에 대해 타자성을 인정하면서 그들에 대한 도덕적 임무를 수행한다. 카모메 식당은 주체와 타자간의 상호인정을 통해 만들어진 평화의 공동체가 된다.

본 연구는 지역교과서에 나타난 민족정체성과 지역정체성의 관계를 분의하고 있다. 지역교과서는 지역학습의 자원이며, 다른 지역과의 영역적 차이를 기본 전제로 하면서 지역정체성을 재현한다. 교육과정 수준에서 지역학습의 교육인간상은 지역정체성의 함양을 추구하지만, 민족국가로서의 정치적 단일성을 고려하고 있다. 이른바 민족적 단일성은 지역의 문화적 다양성이 융합된 양상으로 보고 있다 그런데, 다른 지역에 비해 고유성이 상대적으로 강한 사례 지역의 교과서에서는 민족과 지역 간의 상보성이 왜곡되어 있다. 예컨대, 지역의 통상적인 담론세계에서 유교문화경관은 타자이지만, 학교 교과서에서는 동일자이다. 또한 지역교과서에서 대외적인 영역화의 경계는 주로 지역이라기 보다는 민족이고. 민족의 변방으로 지역에 대한 장소감을 낳고 있다. 즉, 제주 지역교과서에서 지역정체성은 민족정체성을 고려하여 제한적으로 재현되고 있다. 다시 말해서, 지역학습에서 온당하게 다루어져 할 지역정체성의 추구가 주변화되고 있다

본 연구는 사회적 담론의 형성, 발전, 변화 과정을 공간적 모델의 관점에서 분석함으로써 상이한 담론들 간 상호적으로 작용하는 권력관계의 복합성과 유연성, 역동성을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 사회적 담론 공간은 내부/외부라는 차별구조를 갖는다. 그리고 개별담론이 사회적으로 지각, 인지, 통용되기 위해 공간 내부에 진입해야 하며, 권력 획득 정도에 따라 사회적 담론공간 내에 중심부/주변부라는 불균등한 위치성을 갖는다. 따라서 사회적 담론공간 에서는 다차원적인 권력관계가 다방향적으로 작용한다. 하지만 후기 자본주의의 실제 정치과정에서 신자유주의적 정치권력과 신보수주의적 문화권력이 대두하면서, 사회적 담론공간이 개인주의적 소비주의나 획일적인 집단주의로 동질화되고 양분되는 경향을 보여왔다. 더불어 선택적이고 차별적인 문화적 시민권이 사회적 담론공간을 규제하는 기능을 담당하게 되었다. 이러한 맥락에서 미시권력과 거대권력 혹은 보수주의와 자유주의가 충돌하는 권력의 중첩지점, 즉 지배권력 대한 타자적 위치가 저항적인 개별담론들이 성장할 수 있는 대안적 공간으로서 고려되어야 한다. 나아가 타자의 담론이 사회적으로 생산되고 전달될 수 있는 민주적인 담론공간을 구성하는 것이 필요하다.

This paper explores hybridity and hybridized relations that see mixings and crossings as the first moment of multicultural society. References to hybridity often assume that the definition and orientation of the term are located within biology; that is, hybridity constitutes a mixing of two formally discrete objects. In this regard, there seems to be a dialectical preoccupation with purity that goes hand in hand with discussions of hybridity. This dialectical reference to hybridity privileges whole, complete entities as the original instance before mixing, and in this way purity becomes reified. My analysis of hybridity foregrounds mixings that occur at the level of the social, not exclusively at the level of the biological. Hybridity contexts the myth of monoculturalism in the United States and foregrounds multiculturalism as the initial context around which difference has begun to be conceived. In destabilizing the myth of racial origins, this paper attempts to establish a retroactive construction of purity, which is historically, ideologically, and ethnically examined in Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza. Through this work composed of disparate narratives discourses, Anzaldua employs physical differences to ward off the colonial desire that has defined others as objects which are to be controlled. In this regard, this paper pursues the way that physical differences could be repositioned in terms of 'hybridity' that has been related to the cultural, historical, economical significations of borderlands. The space of borderlands is also a place marked psychologically; it will turn differences mobilized in the borderland into an acute consciousness that makes us recognize 'otherness' within ourselves. In sum, this paper attempts to elaborate the productive and creative interactions among disparate languages, classes, genders, and ideas, which will draw attention to their own interlocking nature.

The purpose of this study is to examine various types and characteristics of masks and to consider what meanings they have in the recent fashion world. To this end, this study attempts to reflect on the internal meaning of masks exhibited in fashion designers' collections rather than functional meanings. It has an implication; in that it tries to help understand the expressive needs for variety and freshness pursued by modern fashion and use the unique design development to understand the internal meanings of masks. It, therefore, examines the existing domestic and foreign literature and data about masks from a theoretical perspective, and also attempts to draw findings from the data of fashion collections which have been held since the 2000s, as well as from literature research based on books about fashion and various other media. The meanings of masks in the field of fashion are as follows: First, they express identity, by criticizing the couture fashion, through the fashion. Second, they present a new concept of body, showing an illogical and ambiguous identity in which both feminine and masculine images coexist. Third, they are media externally communicating insights about human beings' inner world, through which various messages are transferred to modern people who are attached to external appearances, and the identities possessed by designers are revealed by the masks. Fourth, they ask about a boundary between gender and sexuality, as a means to make us concentrate on the important social issue, while expressing various and new identities, like the hybrid identity. In other words, they can be found to be used as effective media in communicating fashion massages intended by fashion experimental and creative designers.

In an attempt to demonstrate in context of Nietzsche's "overman" (ubermensch) and Heidegger's "Being-in-the-World" (Dasein) the collective human efforts to overcome humanism in crisis, I will provide the ground for the poetics of overcoming, the ground which are based upon the double movements of transhumanism and transnationalism. For this purpose, I will turn to the theories of two distinctive poets who reveal and disreveal their truths about the subjecthood or the subjectivity in terms of overcoming: Christopher Dewdney for posthuman transhumanity and Dionisio D. Martinez for transnational cultural contamination Transhumanism represented by Christopher Dewdney manifests an interfusion of outside and inside, thereby collapsing the boundary between the mind and the world, and provides a breakthrough from the limitedly defined mind to the transhuman perspective of overcoming by using terminalogy and techniques from science and technology. The emerging transhumanism reflects the growing interdependence between humans and bio technologies, and suggests a potential improvement of human beings. The main argument of transhumanism is that we humans can and should continue to develop in all possible directions, by overcoming our human limitations by shedding the body and having the disembodied consciousness which will liberate our mind. Kwame Anthony Appiah's "cultural contamination" is another form of overcoming as well as a way to otherness, a counter-ideal of cultural purity which sustains authentic culture, reversing the traditional binary opposition between enriching authenticity and threatening hybridization. Dionisio Martinez's poetry sublimates the negative side of Appiah's concept of contamination, by redeeming the value of the Appiah's list of the ideal of contamination such as hybridity, impurity, intermingling, the transformation that comes of new and unexpected combinations of human beings, a bit of this and a bit of that is how newness enters the world. When a poetic subject is doubly exiled and doubly homeless away from his/her native homeland and home of native language, one has no more identification with the authentic culture of both home and away, but rather anticipates a new identity as a transnational subject to cross the bridge beyond cultural authenticity and to enter into the field of cultural contamination.
