  • '인류세'라는 새로운 지질학적 연대가 도래했다는 최근 지질학계의 주장은 인간 사회와 자연을 분리된 것으로 여겨온 기존의 대중적 인식에 균열을 가져오고 있다. 인문지리학자들은 인류세 논의가 시작되기 오래전부터 이같은 이분법적 인식을 해체하고 인간과 자연의 관계를 새롭게 이해하기 위한 이론들을 개발해 왔다. 본 논문은 이같은 이론적 논의의 최전선에 있는 '비인간지리학(more-than-human geography)'의 주요 개념, 논쟁, 연구 성과를 소개, 국내 정치생태학 논의의 이론적 지평을 넓히고자 한다. 최근 영미 정치생태학계에서 비인간지리학은 인간-자연 관계를 이해하고 형성하는 데 있어 그간 소외돼 온 비인간 행위자의 활약에 주목함으로써, 인간 행위자 중심의 기존 연구를 발전시킬 수 있는 새로운 이론으로 주목받고 있다. 이 이론은 2000년대 전후 지리학계에서 발생한 '물질적, 수행적 전환'에서 출발, 인간과 자연의 물질성에 주목하고, 이를 통해 자연에 대한 구조주의적 이해와 생산주의적 이해를 넘어서고자 한다. 비인간지리학자들은 행위자-연결망 이론, 비재현 이론, 생기철학에 이론적 기반을 두고, 비인간 행위성(nonhuman agency)과 감응(affect) 등의 개념을 통해 인간-자연 관계를 분석한다. 비인간지리학에서 자연은 다양하고 이질적인 인간 및 비인간 행위자들의 수행(performance)에 따른 결과물로 인식되며, 네트워크 행위자들의 다양한 수행에 따라 끊임없이 새롭게 만들어지는 것으로 생각된다. 이같은 혼종적, 과정적, 내재적 존재론에 기반을 두고, 비인간지리학은 비인간 행위자와 비재현적 소통이 인간-자연 관계의 이해와 형성에 깊이 개입돼 있다고 보고, 자연에 대한 정치적, 윤리적 결정에 있어 비인간 행위자를 적극 포함시켜야 한다고 주장한다.

  • This study is designed to identify how Demographic Factors affect Fashion Orientation(value), Fashion Response, and Buying Criteria. A total of 355 usable data was collected from housewives in three metropolitan cities(Seoul, Daejeon, Sungnam) in Korea. Young housewives who have one child are a market segment whose buying power is recognized by both the retailers and the market. The housewives' fashion orientation consists of four categories : social orientation, practical orientation, political orientation, and aesthetic orientation. The housewives' fashion response is classified into three areas : self conscious, self esteem, and self monitoring. The criteria of buying children's wear consists of nine components. As a result, the key reason for buying children' wear was 'attractive design'. Research result showed that POLITICAL ORIENTATION(SE beta=.229, p<.001) was more effective than AESTHETICS ORIENTATION(SE beta=.203, p<.001), for enhancing SELF-CONSCIOUS RESPONSE and SELF-ESTEEM RESPONSE. Therefore, this study suggests that the key factor for understanding trend can be a human self concept, consciousness, values, and orientation. The housewives' fashion orientation is responsible for 18.7% of BRAND ROYALTY(F = 20.172, p<.001) from among nine buying criteria. More poignantly, POLITICAL ORIENTATION covered 66.9% of selection of BRAND ROYALTY, and it explained 34.6% of selection of DESIGN among nine buying criteria. Thus, it showed that POLITICAL ORIENTATION(SE beta=.331, p<.001) is more effective than SOCIAL ORIENTATION(SE beta=.146), for upgrading BRAND ROYALTY. In addition, it showed that POLITICAL ORIENTATION(SE beta=.238, p<.001) is more effective than AESTHETICS ORIENTATION(SE beta=.040) for upgrading DESIGN evaluation. Housewives' fashion orientation, and fashion response are differentiated by demographic factors, such as occupation, women's career, husband' job, income, and location related to social status.

  • Environmental issues are increasingly important in consumer decision-making. This paper focuses on the consumer's role in consumption process-purchase, use, and disposal, which has significant environmental consequences. And this paper discusses several approaches to motivate consumer's awareness and responsibility for the environment and further his/her lifestyle change. The Green Consumer should be able to consider the implications of his/her lifestyle choices as well as his/her purchase, use, and disposal decisions. Consumer education and various consumer movements for environment preservation should keep the goal in perspective, which is not only to motivate consumer's long-term behavior change but also to consign his/her buying power and political power to help make changes where he/she really counts.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze types of roles and fashion of the Chinese first ladies and provide basic data for fashion image-making of first ladies. As for the research methods, the concepts, role types, and fashion of the first ladies were considered by referring to the precedent studies and relevant literature. Then, the fashion images according to role types were analyzed by collecting the photos of Chinese first ladies from the period of the Republic of China until today. The results were as follows: First, when the roles of Chinese first ladies were categorized based on ceremonial, political, and policy roles, Zhuo Lin and Wang Yeping played a ceremonial role; Wang Guangmei, Liu Yongqing, and Peng Liyuan played a political role; and Soong Qingling, Soong Mayling, and Jiang Qing played a policy role while they were first ladies. While the first ladies of the Republic of China often wore classic Chinese styles like traditional qipao as well as western clothes which contained a western influence, the first ladies of the People's Republic of China wore more colorful clothes and more accessories in the later period, and also often wore clothes that combined traditional and western elements. Second, first ladies who played a ceremonial role showed mannish and classic images; those who played a political role showed elegant, classic, and diverse images according to T.P.O; and those who played a policy role showed feminine, modern, and mannish images. Fashion images of the first ladies varied according to the level of political involvement, the sociocultural background of China at that time, and their personality and preference.

  • 이 연구는 동북아 국가의 지역적 쟁점을 성찰한다. 특히, 북한의 핵 문제에 대한 미국의 대외정책의 기조에서 연구가 시작되는 동기를 탐구한다. 연구자는 주된 연구방법으로 탐구에 기초한 실천신학의 방법론을 사용한다. 이 분석은 정치적 쟁점과 종교교육의 복합적인 관계를 연결하는 접근을 선호한다. 여기서 복합적인 관계란 정치학의 사회과학적 전제와 종교교육의 규범적 가치를 학제 간 대화의 방법으로 접근하는 관점을 의미한다. 이러한 관점에서 종교교육의 생태는 백인 우월성에 관한 인류학적이며 인종적인 차별의 위협을 무력화하는 교육적 목적을 지향한다. 특히 연구자는 학습자와 교사의 공유적 페다고지를 지지하며, 하나님의 민주적 임재라는 관점을 통해 예수 그리스도께서 억압의 환경에 도전하는 내러티브를 구성하는 연구의 목적을 실행한다.

  • Under the inhumane oppression of imperialism, the Third World's political violence has been often represented as an immediate and explosive one with an instant, concentrated visibility. Yet the ecological and psychological exploitation of the Third-World countries by empires, as Rob Nixon insists, shows the relative invisibility of slow violence. This paper is to reveal this slow violence of the marginalized areas symbolized as the lowland. Although Arne Naess' deep ecology promotes the inherent worth of living beings regardless of their instrumental utility to human needs. this paper deals with three postcolonial ecological textbooks which criticize the white-centered deep ecology: Amitav Ghosh's The Glass Palace, Jhumpa Lahiri's The Lowland, and Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible. Through postcolonial critical study, this paper finds out that all these three works have some themes in common. First, these postcolonial works assume a shape of family saga which is parallel to the slow violence of ecological and psychological plundering of empires in the postcolonial countries. Second, like the mangroves which have a tenacious hold on life, these postcolonial people rather overcome the heterogenic challenge with the sturdy and tough mind than defeated. Third, the native people's ethics of earth functions as the stronghold for their respectable lifestyle in their indigenous historicity. Finally, as a big fat brother, the Americanized globalization or neoliberalism is warned as the neocolonialism which is often shown as the disguised pattern of greenwashing. Namely, the people's self-enhancement is always prior to the imperialistic development or neoliberalism in the postcolonial ecological texts which sharply contrast the native's life consciousness and the empire's development theory.

  • This paper outlines the findings of a consumer survey conducted in 1996 and 2001 by the University of Bonn, Germany, across 15 European countries. The survey involved a sample of 3,300 respondents in 1996 and around 11,000 respondents in 2001, throughout all 15 EU countries. Children and adolescents, between the ages of 10 and 17, were surveyed about their consumption habits and their attitudes towards the environment. The paper outlines the key findings on 'Children's fears and future prospects'. Children are exposed to a great mass of information, not only derived from the media but also from what they experience directly in their everyday-life. Some of this information translates into worries that adopt a clearer (more realistic) form when children become adolescents, as they might be easily involved in those events, and the understanding of the processes that may cause or continue them is deeper. Today's children and adolescents are under more pressure, since the social/political/economical spectrum is constantly changing. Change produces anxiety, fear of what will result from these transformations, as it implies that the social order will be reorganized. This paper reports on a long term comparative study among children and adolescents throughout the European Union, analyzed by country, age group and gender. It draws different preoccupations of young generations and consequent future expectations. It concludes by considering the influence of social and political organizations, as well as the family, on children and adolescents, as these might help to sustain a positive attitude towards various future events.

  • 본 연구는 양양연어축제를 통해 생태관광에서 '자연'이 '생산'되고 보존되며 이용되는 과정을 살펴보고 있다. 최근 관광지리 논의에서는 관광개발 과정에서 나타나는 자연의 신자유주의화와 이에 대한 정치생태학적 재해석이 이루어지고 있다. 한국에서는 양양군을 중심으로 연어보존이 이루어져왔고, 연어축제 역시 연어보존이 나타내는 자연의 복원이라는 상징성을 담고 있다. 그러나 연어축제는 연어의 상품화를 중심으로 이루어지고 있으며, 남대천은 연어의 생태계가 복원된 장소로 인식되기는 어려운 상황이다. 또한 연어회귀가 증가하지 않고, 축제의 외연적 확대가 어려워지면서 연어와 남대천 보존에 대한 지역의 관심은 예전과 같지 않다. 즉, 자연의 보존과 복원의 상징성을 강조하는 축제의 주장과는 달리 생태계를 위협하는 부정적인 요인들은 여전히 남아있다. 이로 인해 연어와 남대천의 보존과 관련한 행위자들 사이의 갈등이 발생하고 있으며, 이는 지역 주민들에서부터 지자체, 국가, 국제기구에 이르기까지 복잡하게 얽혀있다. 생태관광에서 이용되는 자연은 다양한 층위의 행위자들의 이해관계에 따라 선택적으로 정의되고, 이용되며, 강조된다. 이는 정치생태학 연구에서 강조되는 '생산되는 자연'의 개념이 본원적인 자연개념보다 축제의 주제로 전용되고 상품화되는 자연의 모습을 설명하는 데 유용하다는 점을 시사하고 있다.
