무지개 2002는 2000년과 2001년에 이어 세번째로 열리는 한국의 게이/레즈비언/트렌스젠더/양성애자 축제이다. 여전히 성적 소수자에게 세상은 편견의 눈길을 보내지만 이제 그들을 위한 축제를 열 수 있을 만큼은 목소리가 조금 높아졌고 '그들의'축제가 아니라 '우리의'축제가 될 그날을 기다린다.

With the increase in private and community archives to record various different shapes and forms of societies, the establishment of archives for social minorities has heightened. In line with these changes, this study analyzed the Korean queer archives "Queerarch," which focus on records and archives on sexual minorities. This study examined the current status of the archives of Queerarch, and grasped the characteristics of the queer archives and the problems of archival description elements. The current archival description elements used in Queerarch do not fully reflect the characteristics of the queer archives and the multilayer description method. To solve these problems, this study proposed a metadata schema that includes archival description elements that are based on archival description standards such as the General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD (G)), Manual of Archival Description (MAD), Rules for Archival Description (RAD), and others.

The main purpose of this study is to critically examine the existing theoretical as well as analytical scope of 'sexual minority' in Social Welfare, and to (re)construct and expand it incorporating feminist theories on sexuality. The body of literature on sexual minority or homosexuality in social welfare in Korea as well as in the West can be characterized as two distinct features: first, medical discourse leaning on pathological perspective which perceives homosexuality as a disease or defect, homosexual as a pervert; and second, human rights perspective premised upon the idea of diversity and multi-culturalism, both which are anchoring at 'essentialism.' Based upon the understanding of sexuality as a social construct, we argue that feminist insight on sexuality can lead to reconceptualizing homosexuality and reorienting theories and practices in social welfare. From radical feminism to postmodern queer theories, feminists have developed diverse ideas and complex theories on sexuality and homosexuality, including the concept of 'compulsory heterosexuality,' 'lesbianism as political resistance,' and 'performative gender.' For feminists, particularly, sexuality which is constructed in the complex power matrix of dominations to producing and maintaining inequalities and discriminations is not merely a distinctive variable, but one of the important organizational principles such as gender, class, race, age, and nationality. This epistemological principle will hopefully shed lights on alternative 'knowledge' on homosexuality in social welfare, and lead to significant contribution to its critical expansion in theory and practice.

많은 사람이 "다음 생에 성적 소수자나 이주민, 장애인으로 태어나고 싶니?"라는 질문을 받는다면 대부분 사람은 선뜻 "그렇다"라고 대답하기 어렵다. 그 근본적인 이유는 질문 속 사회적 약자들은 사회에서 다양한 불평등을 마주하고 있다는 의미일 것이다. 본 논문에서는 여러 소수자 중 시각장애인을 위한 보행 보조 기구를 제작하였다. 시각장애인들이 사용하는 지팡이는 지면의 장애물 파악에 도움은 되지만 공중에 떠 있는 장애물을 파악하고 피하기 어렵다. 이러한 단점을 보완하고자 라이다 센서를 이용하여 장애물 감지가 가능한 서비스를 시각장애인에게 제공한다. 라이다 센서는 레이저 광원을 방출하여 목표물에서 튕겨 되돌아오는 특성을 이용하여 사용자에게 전방에 장애물이 감지되면 시각장애인에게 TTS로 경고음을 제공한다.

This qualitative study explored a middle-aged lesbian's life and her identities by the oral life history approach in feminist epistemology, where the participant is not the object but the subject of knowledge. The participant kept her own perspective that her homosexuality was not intrinsic but constructed. In her life's history, she was a "docile body" accepting socially constructed historical meaning of homosexuality, as well as a "resistant body" protesting against social discrimination and oppression for homosexual population. She overcame an embedded negative recognition of her scaled injured body and her sexuality as "deficient". Finally, she showed an amazing resilience and an indomitable spirit for reconstructing the meaning of her body as "blessed." Beyond the deficient body, as an active agent not the pathologic sexual minority, she could cultivate compassion and empathy for others. From the results, it is important how to place gender and sexuality in the context of social work theory and practice. Sexuality, not sexual orientation, is 'our' collective agenda to address the social problems which were associated with social hierarchy, inequality, and injustice.

This paper alms to analyze gender sensitiveness of national R&D projects-in the field of health- in Korea and to find a new policy which can enhance gender sensitiveness. From the gender sensitive perspective, the gender unbalanced participation in scientific research should be reconsidered, and the result of research also has to be gender balanced. In advanced countries such as european countries or United states, gender sensitive research are enforced in various ways. The NIH developed guidelines on the inclusion of women in clinical research, while the Health Canada invented a new evaluation tool of gender sensitiveness in researches. The analysis of gender sensitiveness in korean national R&D programmes showed that low number of women researchers involved in national R&D programmes, one gender oriented research subjects, and ignorance of women's specific interest in research programmes should be reconsidered and changed. In order to Improve the korean situation, not only a selection process, but also an evaluation process of performed programmes should be developed and implemented.

Xavier Dolan delves into maternal instinct and sexual identity and the attempt and experiment of his movies are not difficult to understand and not unfamiliar. He communicates with audience through pastiche and self-reflexivity, rather than disassembling and destruction of style and form of existing films. Pastiche is the intertextuality between familiar genres such as film, poem, fashion, music, painting, etc. His films shows the characteristics of postmodernism, which include genre over, de-subjectivity, interest in public culture, and representation of nostalgia. This study recognizes anew the present of postmodernism gradually going out of fashion and analyzes the characteristics of postmodernism and repeated motif in his movies. This study also analyzes Xavier Dolan's interest in social minority and allegorian characteristics through characters appearing in his movies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategy of representation of homosexuality in the mainstream media and its meaning. And it also concerns what would be the limit of representations of homosexuality and what would be the discourse these representations produce in the major terrestrial broadcasting. For this investigation, we conducted the analysis of , the mainstream television drama, focused on the gay couple characters and their representations of conflicts and resolutions by comparing with the two heterosexual couples to figure out the differentiated representation strategies of homosexuality. As results of the analysis, the representation of sociogenic cause of conflict is absent for gay couple while it was found in the case of one heterosexual couple. And gay couple is exposed to the interpersonal conflicts against their family members than heterosexual couples and described as victims. Lastly, gay couple was represented as needing mediators to solve their problems while heterosexual couple was represented as ensuring subjectivity for the resolutions of conflicts.

This report was prepared to compare and analyze the testing method and classification of winding test in Korea to that in Japan, and the obtained results, which had been carried out, in Korea, from Sep. to Nov. in 1968 and in Japan through June in 1968, was as followings. 1. In Korean raw silk, (21 D.) the average number of breaks on winding test showed 5.91 by Korean Method but showed 8.6 by Japanese method and the latter increased to 2.7. On the other hand in Japanese raw silk, it showed 3.6 by Korean method but 4.7 by Japanese method and the latter increased to 1.1. (See Table 2,3) 2. It was seemed the tendency that the lot distribution of breaks number in Korean silk was mostly concentrated to the breaks No. 3,4 and 5(48％) by Korean method but in case of Japanese method to the breaks number 5,6 and 7(36％), and the tendency that the concentration depended mostly on the increased number of breaks. In Japanese raw silk, it was seemed the tendency that the lot distribution of breaks number was mostly concentrated to the breaks number 1. 2, and 3 (55％) by Korean Method but in case of Japanese Method to the breaks number, 2,3 and 4(50％) and the tendency that the concentration was as similar as the above. (See Table 2,3) 3. It was found the tendency that the distribution of breaks number during the open winding test was mostly concentrate red to the average number of breaks not only in Korea but in Japan. The rate 0: non-breaks, however, showed 43％ of Japan, to 7％ of Korea. (See Table 4) 4. Applying Table 1,2 to the Classification of Korea and Japan, the class distribution by Korean table showed 68％ of class 1(6), 22％ of cl ass 2(10) and 9％ of class 3(15) in Korean silk, while that by Japanese table showed 13％ of class 1(4), 56％ of class 2(10) and 29％ of class 3(18). And then the testing result to be class 1 or 2 by Korean table was. degraded from class 1 to class 2 of 55％ and from class 2 to class 3 of 20％ down. In Japanese silk, however, the class distribution by Korean table showed 85％ of class 1 (4), 10％ of class 2(10) and 5％ of class 3(18) but that by Japanese table showed 60％ of class 1(4), 33％ of class 2(10) and 7％ of class 3(18). And then there was little difference in the rate of class distribution. 5. Through the above investigation, it was seemed that Japanese classification table was only prepared for the r∼w silk of Japan, considering that the width of class 1(4) in winding table was greatly tighter than that of Korea. Because it was generally evaluated that Korean silk in quality especially in the winding test was better (next to Japan) than any other countries. 6. We could venture to estimate that, applying to Japanese method, the testing result of break number in Korean silk would show from about 6 by Korean method to 9. And then it would be found degrading hi the testing result of winding test increased gradually.
