The artworks of Socialist Realism of the former Soviet Union, with the beginning of the 21st century, are gaining a new attention from art collectors. One reason for this might consist in the fact that relevant art pieces exemplify the ways in which they visualize ideas on the basis of their high-profile art tradition and also in which they integrate their utopian ideals with mysticism. These aspects of the Soviet art goes far beyond the wide-spread assumption that their art, as a means of propaganda, principally represents a political allegiance to the system. With Stalin coming into power in the 1930s, the artistic trend of Socialist Realism obtained a nationwide sympathy and support from people, giving birth to a new art which essentially corresponded to the demands of the political power. An official art current of the USSR over the period from the 1930s to 1950s, Socialist Realism was in tandem with the Communist commitment to the party and popularity, symbolizing a loyalty to the cause. It was thus characterized by plainness and lucidity so that ordinary people could gain easy access to art. Its salient feature, over an entire range of art, was an optimistic pursuit of a utopian dream. Therefore, it tallied with the popular sentiment for a Communist paradise, giving form to their beliefs in human agency working at the materialist world and also to such abstract concepts as force, fitness, and beauty by adding even mythical ideals. Its main subject matter includes harvest feasts of collective farms, imaginary socialist cities, grand marches of heroic laborers and in this way it served as a propaganda for a sacred utopia of socialist totalitarianism. On the other end of the spectrum, however, rose the second camp of art, which put an emphasis on bona-fide artistic activities of plastic art and on an artist's personal expression and freedom, as opposed to the surface optimism of Socialist Realism. Central to the Russian Avant Garde art, which prized the above-mentioned values, were Malevich's Geometric Abstraction and A. Rodchenko's Constructivism. Furthermore, in the transitional era of the late 20th century and the 21st century it was recognized that film art or electronic media art, rather than traditional genre of paintings, would function as a more efficient way of propaganda. These new genres were made possible by ridiculing the stereotypes of the Russian lifestyle and also by ignoring ethical or professional dimensions of artworks. That is, they reinvented themselves into a sort of field art, seemingly degrading the quality of artworks and transforming them into artifacts or simulacres in the very sense of post-modernism. The advent of the new era brought about the formation and occupation of pop culture of the younger generations, calling into question the idea of art as the class-determined. It also increased the attention to field art, which extensively found way to modern art centers, galleries, and exhibition projects. It can be stated that this was a natural outcome of human nature.

Each stylistic period through history has its own unique look. The characteristic look of each period is completed and visualized with its prevailing ideologies, aesthetic consciousness and morality by means of 'form'. A period expresses its characteristics in accordance with form according to the widespread preferences of the time. Among the various cultural factors that form the look of the time, those that the period holds as ideal aesthetic values create the concept of 'ideal beauty' for that period. This study begins by establishing the conceptual definition of 'ideal beauty' and develops the premise that dress reflected ideal beauty. To attain the goal of the study, the selected objects are dresses represented in paintings, the actual garments from the Renaissance to Baroque periods and written references about art, art history, and history of costume. The results, based upon a theoretical study of the zeitgeist and aesthetic values of the 16th and 17th centuries, are as follows: first, ideal beauty influences the substance and form that constitute dress style. It is a byproduct of the spirit of time, the zeitgeist. The concept of ideal beauty is born within the lifestyle pursued by the ruling class and focuses on the body as an epitome of beauty, moral values, custom, lifestyle and taste as it becomes visualized via form. Second, the aspect of dress representing the ideal beauty of particular time varied according to the times. In both periods, power and dignity were used to achieve the ideal aesthetic values. In the Renaissance, power was expressed by the horizontal extension of dress (i.e. wide farthingales and sleeves) and in the Baroque period, by vertical extension (i.e. long and tall wigs, fontanges and trains). It can be said that fashion in both periods achieved an ideal, such as power and dignity, via the same means, by extending dress sizes, but the ways in which those ideals were portrayed in each period's dress yielded very contrary styles. It is understood through this study that ideal beauty influenced the dress style of the Renaissance and Baroque periods and played a decisive role in determining its forms and symbolic meanings.

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. We first show that images of the linear derivations and the linear 𝓔-derivations of the polynomial algebra K[x] = K[x₁, x₂, …, x_n] are ideals if the products of any power of eigenvalues of the matrices according to the linear derivations and the linear 𝓔-derivations are not unity. In addition, we prove that the images of D and 𝛿 are Mathieu-Zhao spaces of the polynomial algebra K[x] if D = ∑ⁿ_i=1 (a_ix_i + b_i)∂_i and 𝛿 = I - 𝜙, 𝜙(x_i) = λ_ix_i + 𝜇_i for a_i, b_i, λ_i, 𝜇_i ∈ K for 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Finally, we prove that the image of an affine 𝓔-derivation of the polynomial algebra K[x₁, x₂] is a Mathieu-Zhao space of the polynomial algebra K[x₁, x₂]. Hence we give an affirmative answer to the LFED Conjecture for the affine 𝓔-derivations of the polynomial algebra K[x₁, x₂].

Modern Bulgarian nationalists aspired towards incorporating the self-identified Bulgarian lands into the Bulgarian state. The Treaty of San Stefano ending the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 tantalizingly achieved these so-called national ideals. Great Power diplomacy quickly diminished Bulgaria's borders and international legal status with the 1878 Treaty of Berlin, exacerbating nationalist grievances. Bulgaria would expand vast resources to restore the San Stefano borders until Balkan Communist authoritarian regimes eventually suppressed the Macedonian issue as a foreign policy subject. Sofia's policy towards its neighbor has been overdetermined by the efforts of successive Bulgarian governments to institutionalize post-communist Bulgaria's own national identity. Bulgaria's integration into so-called Euro-Atlantic structures, i.e., NATO and the EU, had been the primary strategic objective of the Bulgarian authorities since the end of the Zhivkov regime. North Atlantic community security policy aims in response to the earliest post-Cold War foreign policy crises in the Western Balkans framed the parameters of Bulgarian diplomacy. The stabilization of FYROM in 2001, followed by Bulgaria's 2007 EU accession, led to Bulgarian nationalist values become more salient in Bulgarian politics and foreign policy. Sofia-Skopje relations are a test case for the effects of Europeanization on interdependent Balkan ethno-sectarian nationalisms and state territorial institutional development.

In the contemporary world, fashionable bodies are socially constructed in light of current idealized images. Media portrayal of such images can have negative health implications. This issue has long been problematic for women. Nowadays, men are subject to more scrutiny regarding their bodies, although male body image has been studied far less than female body image. In this position paper based on a review of the major studies that have been conducted on men and body image, we summarize the findings from these state-of-the-art studies that have been recently published in academic journals. Three themes related to male body image were extracted: socio-cultural ideals, masculinity, and minority men. This study adds to the literature I that it demonstrates that men experience and view their bodies differently from women, though some behaviors, such as disordered eating, are similar. Other behaviors, such as the drive for muscularity, are couched in the context of the social construction of gender and power. Most of the studies were done on white, heterosexual populations of young men, and nearly all used quantitative research methods. Little research has been conducted on ethnic and sexual minorities. We conclude with a discussion of what we need to know, and to that end, we suggest future avenues of research.

Neo-Confucianism fettered the society and the individuals regulating such aspects as roles and relationships within a family, rites, and ceremonies. The mandated practice of filiality challenged the Confucian paradigm of gender relations, exposing women to men and the notion of following elders' instructions, which preserved authoritarian power relations within an ancestral line. This ideological base was beneficial for preserving social stability and integrity and aimed to create a set of ideals and norms that would apply to everyone, thus keeping people together. This conceptual investigation aims to identify the benefits of accepting Neo-Confucianism during the Joseon Dynasty and how it emerged as the foundation for the nation's and society's governance. Neo-Confucianism was not an immobile value system but an active factor contributing to the success, development, and positive changes in Joseon Korea; it is the aim of this study to provide a comprehensive account and exegesis of the role and impact of Neo-Confucianism in the Korean historical process. The study will examine the lessons that can be drawn from these historical facts of South Korean history in the modern state, particularly in the areas of governance, education, and social integration.

This paper examines the British imperialism found in Edith Nesbit's fantasy stories by looking at the function of magic and of the hierarchical relationships seen in the books. Although Edith Nesbit is relatively unknown in Korea, she is widely recognized as having had a great influence on the 20th century British literary world, and is also well-known for her political position as a socialist. Nesbit's fantasy books are commonly differentiated from other Victorian children's books written before her in that she created realistic and liberal children characters and rejected the adult didactic tone. While Nesbit's books have been recognized as revolutionary and being distinguished from other Victorian children's books, I suggest that the ideas found in her fantasy novels largely include the dominant Victorian message of British imperialism. This imperial ideology is delivered by the logic of magic and the multilateral hierarchies. The two magic creatures (The Psammead and the Phoenix) and the two magic items from an Oriental background (the Carpet and the Amulet) all have a magic power to grant people's wishes, wholeheartedly exercising their power and knowledge for the sake of the British characters. While the magic agents serve to fulfill the children's wishes, the children aim to please their parents and to benefit their family, showing layered hierarchies among the characters. Also, there is a hierarchical distinction between the magic items and the magic creatures in that the magic items have no voice to express themselves but only serve and obey the British children. The foreign characters that the children encounter in their adventures also cooperate with the British characters to help them to fulfill their goals. In short, magic frees the children from the adult-centered world but ultimately their free adventures serve their parents and other adults, and represent the ideals and hierarchical concepts of British imperialism. Thus, Nesbit's position as a modern writer seems to be ambiguous, switching between modern characterization and style, and the old Victorian imperial messages that also exist in her fantasy novels.

니체 철학이 갖는 가장 강렬한 함의 중의 하나인 현대성의 위기와 그 극복 가능성이라는 주제를 '사랑'이라는 화두를 가지고 재구성해보는 것이 본고의 목적이다. 이성에 대한 육체적 욕망의 발로인 성애(性愛)에서부터 동정심이나 이웃사랑 같은 종교적으로 왜곡된 사랑의 형태를 넘어 가장 먼 것에 대한 사랑과 생명의 적극적인 긍정양식인 운명애에 이르기까지 니체 철학 전반에 걸쳐 산재된 사랑에 대한 진술들을 분석해 본다. 니체에게 사랑은 기본적으로 힘의 확장을 목표로 하는 소유욕으로부터 자라난 충동이다. 그것이 인간을 구성하는 힘에의 의지이므로 사랑의 충동은 생명에 속하는 것이다. 그러나 성 충동을 죄와 결부시킨 기독교를 통해 에로스는 부도덕 해졌다. 니체는 인간의 자연과 실재를 부인하고 거기에 다른 이상을 덧씌우려는 기독교적 사랑을 극복하고 자신을 뛰어넘는 사랑을 배워야 한다고 말한다. 니체 철학에서 그것은 가장 먼 것에 대한 사랑이자 운명애로 불린다.

본 연구는 포스트모던 시대의 기독교교육의 삼위일체적 원리를 칼 바르트, 라인홀드 니버, 폴 틸리히의 신정통주의 신학을 통해 조명하였다. 신정통주의와 포스트모더니즘 양자는 모두 모더니즘의 인식론적 인식에 대항하였다. 포스트모더니즘이 인간의 유한한 관점에 기반함으로써 자신의 주관성에 갇혀서 다원주의와 상대주의를 양산한 데 비하여 신정통주의는 인간중심의 모더니즘에 대항하여 일어났기 때문에 오늘날 기독교교육이 기반으로 삼아야 할 원리에 시사하는 바가 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 그 논점을 칼 바르트, 라인홀드 니버, 폴 틸리히 등 기본적인 신학적 원리를 통해 모더니즘에 대항한 신정통주의 신학자들의 의견을 비판적으로 조명하는 데에 두었다. 첫째, 본 연구는 하나님의 창조와 인간의 타락 사건을 유신론적 상대주의의 관점에서 조명하였고, 둘째, 예수 그리스도의 십자가 대속을 구속, 해방, 회복의 관점에서 조명하여 교육의 실천에 있어서 성육화된 관계 형성으로 연계하였으며, 셋째, 성령의 돌봄과 위로 사역을 통해 인간 이성의 한계를 극복(치유)하고 사랑의 관계를 수립하는 가교로서 조명하였다.

논문은 리안(李安)영화가 진행하는 여성 재현(응시)의식을 살펴보고자 한다. 미국 사회에서 활동하고 있는 리안의 문화적 정체성에 주목하며, 때로는 주류가 아닌 주변인으로 위축되고 억눌려졌던 자신의 불안한 위치와 정체성을 여성과 동일시했다고 하는 감독의 영화의식 속에서 '여성'을 들여다보고자 한다. 논문은 서양사회에서 대만인 디아스포라 동양 남성 감독 리안이 영화에서 '여성'을 어떻게 재현하고 있는지, 동양 남성으로서 가부장제 남성 의식을 내면화하고 있는 그가 '여성'에 대해 어떤 응시를 진행하는지 주변인(이방인)으로서 중심을 어떻게 해체하고 있는지 그의 방식을 살펴보고자 한다. 리안 영화는 여성들이 국가권력에 의해 구국의식 안으로 포획되고 있는 지점을 연출하고 있다. 국가는 그녀들에게 구국이라는 대의의 책무와 책임을 강제하고, 이런 국가에 그녀들은 때로 균열을 진행한다. 식민 조국의 해방에 적극 동참하지만 그 속에서 국가가 보여주는 기만성을 폭로하고, 또 생명을 조작하며 안보 강화만을 주장하는 국가의식의 허위성을 폭로한다. 또 그의 영화는 동 서양의 부권(父權)과 부권(夫權)을 해체하기도 한다. 감독은 중국 여성의 신체가 식민자 앞에서 발가벗겨져 전시되고 구국이라는 이름으로 강제되는지 주목한다. 그녀들의 신체는 가부장제 이데올로기에 억눌려 이상 징후를 보이거나 아들을 낳는 생산의 도구로 강요되고, 중화 전통 문화 아래 감정의 표출을 억압당하며 절제된 감정의 신체로 표상되고 있다.
