올해는 뱀의 해이다. '뱀'하면 대부분 사람들은 징그럽고 혐오스러운 모습을 떠올린다. 꿈틀거리는 커다란 몸뚱이, 소리없이 발밑을 '쓱'하고 스쳐 가는 듯한 촉감, 미끈하고 축축할 것만 같은 피부, 무서운 독을 품은채 허공을 날름거리는 기다란 혀, 사람을 노려보는 듯한 차가운 눈초리${\cdots}$. 게다가 아담과 이브를 에덴동산에서 쫓겨나게 한 장본인으로 교활함의 대명사가 돼버린 뱀은 분명 두렵고 꺼리게 되는 동물이다. 그러나 긴 몸을 꿈틀거리며 옆으로 미끄러지듯이 움직이는 뱀의 특이한 걸음걸이는 과학자들에게 오히려 아이디어의 대상이다.

사랑만큼 인간을 변함없이 사로잡은 테마가 있을까? 아담이 혼자 있는 것이 보기 좋지 않아, 이브를 탄생시켜 에덴동산에서 같이 살게 만들었 다는 <성서>, 질투와 짝사랑, 그리고 이뤄질 수 없는 자기애 등 사랑에서 생기는 많은 모티프의 원형으로 가득한 <그리스,로마 신화>, 그리고 바보 온달 왕자를 사랑의 힘으로 훌륭하게 만들었다는 낙랑공주의 이야기 등이 담긴 <삼국유사>. 역사의 고전에는 어디에나 사랑의 이야기가 넘쳐날 정도로 풍부하다. 그러나 이렇게 많은 사랑의 이야기에도 불구하고 우리는 새로운 사랑 이야기를 찾는다. 그리고 언제나 다시 사랑의 이야기에 주목하게 된다. 디지털 시대라고 해서 다를까? 그렇지 않다. SF영화, 미래를 다루는 영화에서도 사랑은 빠지지 않고 등장하는 중요한모티프이다. <매트릭스>만 봐도 그렇다. 궁극적으로 모든 갈등과 위기를 구원하는 것은‘사랑’이지 않은가. 이처럼‘사랑’은 인류 최대의 난제이자 영원한 테마인 것이다.

The achievements of the medieval mappaemundi should be evaluated on their own terms and in the context of their purpose. Medieval mappaemundi expressed christian world view which reflected Augustinian theology. These Christian world view and Greek and Roman classical geography were combined to form the cultural barkground of the medieval mappaemundi. These maps had a function to organize physical space according to religious principles. The Christian concept of the world as a temporal phenomenon, derived from the simultaneous creation of time and space as described in St. Augustin's theology was represented in these maps. The purpose of this paper is to consider geographic characteristics of earthly paradise expressed in medieval mappaemundi and their cartographic characteristics. For this, firstly, we reviewed medieval Christian scholars' opinions on earthly paradise. Secondly, centered on geographic location and representation method, we examined cartographic characteristics of medieval paradise mapping, Thirdly, we considered the shift of paradise according to chronological change. Fourthly, we examined the reason why earthly paradise disappeared from world map after fourteenth century.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a unified examination of apparently quite different gardens in terms of Carl Jung's psychological concepts such as Archetypes, Individualization, and a natural tendency towards balance or wholeness. In Jung's psychological framework, Archetypes are innate, universal prototypes for ideas and function as the first original models upon which all other similar persons, objects or concepts are derived, copied or patterned. Jung proposes that Individualization be achieved through a natural tendency towards balance, especially the balance between the conscious and the unconscious. This paper deals with three gardens, each of which represents a distinct cultural region: Bu-Yong Ji(芙蓉池) at the Changdeok Palace(Oriental), the Patio of the Lions at the Alhambra(Islamic), and the Fountain of Apollo at the Versailles Palace(Western). It is argued that all of three have in common a natural tendency towards balance and symbolize mandala, the archetype of wholeness. Bu-Yong Ji is in the form of quadrangle which embodies Yin and Yang. In the Patio of the Lions, the basin at the center and the four channels, which symbolize the waterway of the Garden of Eden and the four rivers in Paradise respectively, are constructed in the form of a quadripartite composition. The overlapped circle and rectangular shaped pond of the Fountain of Apollo also represents mandala. Symbols representing the same archetype can vary from culture to culture. This explains the differences among the three gardens with respect to specific aspects of external forms. In other words, an archetypal image can give rise to various forms in different cultures, and thus quite different mediums of design or design details may be developed. In conclusion, the three gardens give us a good example as to how an archetypal image can be expressed in different ways from culture to culture and how seemingly different design details can be analyzed in a unified way.
