이 연구는 그동안 고전문학에서도 시도되지 않았던 여성 한시와 대순사상의 융합 연구이자, 대순사상 분야에서도 시도되지 않았던 여성 한시와 대순사상의 융합 연구이다. 대순진리회에서 중요한 해원 사상을 고전 작품을 통해 밝혀보고자 하는 시도였다. 대순사상의 출현과도 시대적 맥락을 같이 하는 20세기 초의 최송설당(崔松雪堂)의 한시 작품을, 여성 해원이라는 틀 위에서 '평(平)'과 '화(和)'의 개념으로 분석하여, 가화(家和)와 상생(相生)으로 나아가는 지점을 찾고자 했다. <왕소군의 원망(昭君怨)>, <자술(自述)>, <송설당원운(松雪堂原韻)> 등과 같은 작품에서 여자로서의 한(恨)이 표현되었다. <정월 초하루(元朝祝)>, <우음(偶吟)> 등과 같은 작품에서는 가족의 평안을 바라는 내용을 표현하고 있었다. 송설당은 가정의 '원(寃)'을 풀기 위해 노력하는 과정에서 남자가 되지 못한 '한(恨)'을 느끼며 한계에 부딪히기도 하였지만, 가화(家和)를 이루기 위해 '평(平)'과 '화(和)'를 중요하게 여기며 평생을 노력해온 것으로 보인다. 이 논문은 문학과 사상의 융합이라는 학문적 확장의 측면에서 중요한 의미가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 대순사상의 측면에서도 사상 자체에만 몰두한 연구에서 나아가 사상과 문학을 융합적으로 살펴봄으로써, 전통시대의 삶과 문화 속에서도 대순사상의 면모를 확인할 수 있고, 이것이 고전에서 현대에 이르는 여전히 현재적인 의미를 지니고 있다는 것을 밝힐 수 있는 의의가 있을 것이다.

To put it simply, thing theory is a study of meaningful capacities of materiality. Although T. S. Eliot regarded pathetic fallacy as the bad example of objective correlatives in his modernism poetry theory, it is clear that many objects in literary works reflect diverse human desires. Among many, Victorian sensation novels are the most distinct genre where the various paraphernalia in them indicate the distorted and exaggerated greed of the industrial revolution era. Whereas the male protagonists are usually related with the norms objects of authority such as portrait and locket, the female characters' connection with cosmetics and white dress shows their oppressed and fragile position in the patriarchal and hierarchical society. In the (post)modern society, the ambiguity of things has grown rapidly due to the increasing discrepancy between objects and things. In special, the new journalism and the psychological realism novels often reveal the post-truth phenomenon because consumerized audience depend more upon the attraction and affect than the mere evidence and facts. For the individual, according to object relations theory, these alternative facts are rather internalized into their mind as the internal object when they are motivated by the non/contact with primary caregivers in their childhood. The dominant material imagery in (post)modern fiction becomes the site of resistance because of their reconstructed and extended meaning. The object relations theory and thing theory can be effectively used to uncover the complicated meanings of desired objects by using the human-object's meaningful relations and early mental images that are secretly alive still in the present.

This paper is an attempt to find/make an entrance to John Hejduk's architecture. Based explicitly on both Karl Popper's model of knowledge production called 'conjecture and refutation' and Harold Bloom's theory of poetry called 'revisionism', this paper, in order to produce a new problem, mainly deals with an existing knowledge as an object to refute, that is, Michael Hays' interpretation of Wall House by Jacques Lacan's notion of the gaze, Hejduk's a pivotal architectural finding. The arguments underlying this paper are two: First, Hejduk, just like this paper, follows Popper's model and Bloom's theory in conducting his own architectural research. Secondly, he takes what might be called artist's attitude when absorbing previous knowledge and producing new one. These two arguments are made in the first part and then served as a basic propositions for further arguments. In the process of criticizing the way in which Hays explicates Hejduk's Wall House, this paper reaches two main arguments. First, Lacan's notion of the gaze is not proper specifically for the explication of it. However, it may be useful and even promising when dealing with other works such as Subject/Object and House of the Inhabitant Who Refused to Participate. Secondly, Freud's notion of 'uncanny', arguably Hejduk's strong architectural orientation, may serve much better as a main gate among possibly many ones in trying to open his architecture. It is considered that this might also serve as an important clue to solving mysticism remaining yet untouched in his architecture.

Written simultaneously with Prometheus Unbound, Shelley's "Julian & Maddalo" is a masterwork of dramatic poiesis, of doubling embedded in its couplets, dialogic debate on human nature and contrasted symbolic emblems. The emblems mirror each other and are themselves sites of generative paradox: the "heaven illumined" but "dreary tower" of the Maniac and the glorious sunsets on the "ever-shifting sand" of the Lido, a wasteland that is a place of self discovery but also of "abandonment" and barren mingling figured, inter alia, in its "amphibious weeds," a trope of the poem's personae. This essay also explores the poem's dramatic structure and various rhetorical devices, beginning with the Preface, a threshold of complex identity disguise that Shelley uses for veiled self-presentation, as in "Alastor," mirroring and literary references replete with nuanced ironies. I focus mainly on the complex figures of liminality Shelley uses to develop his own thoughts (as well as his ongoing debates with Byron) about man's potential for growth in thought, insight and empathy, in political reform and interpersonal and individual healing. Advancing Shelley's most optimistic ideas, Julian, escorted by Maddalo observes the Maniac, -- a living ruin whose pained eloquence reveals the link of eros to poiesis and the limits of the latter's ability to 'transform a world.' The Maniac is the core of muse-work (remembering, thinking and song) and Shelley presents him as its emblem. He also is prefigured in and reflects the quintessentially liminal Lido with its "barren embrace" of sea and land. Yet it is less the Maniac's feeling that his grief is "charactered in vain…on this unfeeling leaf" than Julian's rationales for leaving the site of pain that point to Shelley's final comment on poetry's transformative limits. As the primary haploids of the drama's meiosis re-combine and two of them, Maddalo and the maniac fall away, an analogy I briefly develop and embedded in the erotic dynamics of poiesis, Shelley suggests, as he did at the beginning of his poetic lyricism in "Alastor" and at its end in "the Triumph of Life"that images mislead and delude; that "the deep truth is imageless" and redemption is not in but beyond figuration.

맥루한의 사상서는 미디어의 권력으로 자리 잡고 있다. 그가 말하는 -하나의 감각에 편중되지 않은- "촉각적 글쓰기"는 바로 이상의 작품에서 발견할 수 있다. 한국 구체시의 시초로 자리 잡은 이상의 작품은 현대에 와서 재조명되고 있다. 난해하고 복잡한, 정신분열증의 결과물로 발간 이후 끊임없이 화제가 되었던 그의 시는 재조명 과정에서 시각예술의 단편으로 실험적 정신과 한국 다다이즘의 실체로 분석되고 있다. 그러나 이상 시의 진정한 의미는 회화적 측면 혹은 감성적 측면에 치우치지 않은 하나의 감각이 다른 감각으로 확장되었다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 '감각의 확장' 이라는 미디어의 관점으로 그의 세계를 재해석 하고자 한다.

<버닝>은 현재 한국사회의 젊은이들이 당면한 답답한 현실과 그에 관한 절망감에 관한 영화다. 주인공의 세상에 대한 인식과 감정을 주인공의 궁극적인 행동의 원인으로 제공한다는 점에서 기존 이창동 영화와는 다르다. 현실의 문제를 효과적으로 다루기 힘든 이창동 영화의 인물들은 <시>에서부터 변화를 보이기 시작한다. 주인공의 인식이 변화할 뿐 아니라 그에 따른 행동을 수반하기 시작한 것이다. <버닝>의 주인공은 한 발 더 나아간다. 현실의 논리와 제약을 넘어서기 위해서 주인공이 가진 유일한 무기는 집착과 강박적인 행동밖에는 없다고 믿는듯하다. <버닝>의 인물은 이전 영화들과 달리 인식을 행동으로 실행하는 인물이며 행동을 통해서 자신의 캐릭터를 증명하는 인물에 가깝다. 이 논문은 영화 <버닝>의 캐릭터 연구를 중심으로 이창동 영화 형식의 변화의 조짐을 분석할 것이다. 영화의 특정 내러티브 형식은 특정 캐릭터를 선호하는데, 예를 들어 네오리얼리즘의 주인공은 할리우드 고전적인 서사의 주인공과는 다르다. 그들은 갈등을 극복하고 성장하는 인물이라기보다는 주변의 상황을 목격하는 인물에 가깝다. 서사의 형식이 바뀌면 캐릭터의 역할도 바뀐다는 의미에서, 이 논문은 캐릭터의 변화에 주목할 것이다. 이러한 캐릭터의 변화는 현재 한국사회의 젊은이들에 대한 감독의 생각과 그것을 표현하기 위한 이창동 영화 형식의 변화의 조짐에 실마리를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

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.

Since Plath killed herself in 1963, the theme of death has become one of the central motifs and allusions in her work. The biographical emphasis continues to blur the boundary between the artistic world and the material world. While approaching Plath's work from the perspective of personal experience, the objective of this paper is not to suggest that we encounter Plath's personal voice and emotions directly in her work. Rather, I emphasize how Plath's work of mourning is substantiated in the act of writing. Plath protects herself from the unnamable or the existential void by writing poems. She shows the way in which art or writing enables the subject to confront traumatic memory. While the death drive propels Plath towards destruction, artistic formation serves to alleviate her psychic crisis. What I shall suggest in the paper is how works of art lead the melancholic subject to challenge traumatic events. Plath herself suggests the therapeutic power of language. Plath's hostility toward women as well as men situates her work nearer to the Kristevan psychoanalytic theory which examines depressive anxieties intrinsically linked to the loss of maternal objects. Kristeva's particular focus on the concept of "death-bearing mother" or the unnamable offers a fruitful reading of the representation of infantile fantasies, sexuality, anger, and ambivalence toward lost loved object which clearly dominates most of Plath's poems. Kristeva elaborates mourning and melancholia through the framework of signification and it is of especial relevance in deciphering the recurring death drive and melancholic rage in Plath's work. Melancholic subjects in Plath's work are characterized by an amorphous state, occupying a borderline state regulated by the death drive.

Robert Frost's poetry has generally been considered fairly readable partly because of the simplicity or down-to-earth-ness of the messages that go along with the poet's projected public image and the 'traditional' forms he used. Against the grain of such general perception, this study reads some of the early poems of Robert Frost to re-characterize the beginning of the poet's career as a modernist attempt to challenge the dominant poetic conventions of the time: the genteel conventions. In reading the poems, this study focuses on frost's strategic method of using the speaker or persona regarding the delivery of meanings. Those readers who would like to find the immediate presence of Frost's voice in the poems, fail to distinguish the speaker and the poet, readily accepting the face value of what the speaker tries to convey: those messages which are in line with liberal individualism, like self-reliance, autonomous self, work ethics, etc. Frost's speakers, however, are rarely the mouthpiece of the poet himself. Rather, they are fictional characters who, while on the surface of the text appear to be hammering out a stable theme out of their everyday experience, under a heuristic scrutiny of the textual structure, turn out to be undermining the logic or the rationality of the theme, which can be identified as a modernist textual strategy that challenges the traditional conventions regarding the stability of meaning in a poetic text.

The essay focuses on the relationship between the soldiers and the oppressed women in Lynn Nottage's Ruined (2009) in terms of Julia Kristeva's abject to show how the abjected Congolese women expose the falsehood of the order and identity that the military forces try to construct and maintain by war and violence. According to Kristeva, the abject is something that is rejected for the repulsion and horror it arouses but constantly draws the subject to it at the same time. Physically impaired and socially stigmatized, sexually abused Congolese women find a shelter in Mama Nadi's bar, the only place where they can continue their lives as the abject since the place, like the women themselves, lies outside the symbolic order occupied and corrupted by the men of DRC. Although the men involved in the armed conflict have abjected the women in pursuit of their own system and order, the women are not simply the objects of abuse and oppression. The men have to rely on Mama Nadi and her women not only to reaffirm their identity and power by suppressing them but also to fulfill their biological needs. In addition, the women's resistance against the soldiers demonstrates their power to challenge the men's symbolic order and expose its frailty. Apropos of the abject's resistance, various artistic genres such as poetry, music and dance appear in the play as an escape from the grim reality and a means of challenging and transcending the symbolic order. Bringing all these artistic elements together into a powerful piece of theatre-often considered as an 'abject' genre nowadays, Nottage demonstrates both the power of theatre as well as the tenacious Congolese women.
