Monsters cannot speak. They have been objectified and represented through a particular concept 'monstrosity' that renders the presence of monsters effectively simplified and nullified. In contemporary monster narratives, however, the site of monsters reveals that they could be the complex construction of society, culture, language and ideology. As going into the structure that concept is based on, therefore, meanings of monsters would be seen to be highly unstable. When symbolic language strives to match monsters with a unified concept, their meanings become only further deferred rather than valorized. This shows the language of monsters should disclose the self-contradiction inherent in 'monstrosity,' which has made others—namely beings we define as 'different' from ourselves in culture or physical appearance—embodied as abject and horrifying monsters. Unable to be understood, accepted, or called humans. I analyse Frankenstein and Dracula that firmly converge monstrous bodies into a symbolic meaning, demonstrating how this fusion causes problems in the multicultural society. I especially emphasize the undeniable affirmation of expurgated others we need to have empathetic relations with, because their difference, unfamiliarity, and slight divergences are likely to be defined as abnormalities. In the multicultural society, thus, we must learn to embrace diversity, while also having to recognize there are many others that have been thought of as monsters; ironically enabling us to think about an undeniable imperative of being responsive to other people. In this respect, the monstrous inhuman goes to the heart of the ethical undercurrent of multiculturalism, its resolute attempt to recognize and respect someone else's difference from me. A focus on empathetic relations with others, thus, can strengthen the process of creating social mechanisms that do justice to the competing claims of different cultural groups and individuals.

This paper explores hybridity and hybridized relations that see mixings and crossings as the first moment of multicultural society. References to hybridity often assume that the definition and orientation of the term are located within biology; that is, hybridity constitutes a mixing of two formally discrete objects. In this regard, there seems to be a dialectical preoccupation with purity that goes hand in hand with discussions of hybridity. This dialectical reference to hybridity privileges whole, complete entities as the original instance before mixing, and in this way purity becomes reified. My analysis of hybridity foregrounds mixings that occur at the level of the social, not exclusively at the level of the biological. Hybridity contexts the myth of monoculturalism in the United States and foregrounds multiculturalism as the initial context around which difference has begun to be conceived. In destabilizing the myth of racial origins, this paper attempts to establish a retroactive construction of purity, which is historically, ideologically, and ethnically examined in Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/ La Frontera: The New Mestiza. Through this work composed of disparate narratives discourses, Anzaldua employs physical differences to ward off the colonial desire that has defined others as objects which are to be controlled. In this regard, this paper pursues the way that physical differences could be repositioned in terms of 'hybridity' that has been related to the cultural, historical, economical significations of borderlands. The space of borderlands is also a place marked psychologically; it will turn differences mobilized in the borderland into an acute consciousness that makes us recognize 'otherness' within ourselves. In sum, this paper attempts to elaborate the productive and creative interactions among disparate languages, classes, genders, and ideas, which will draw attention to their own interlocking nature.

복잡하고 거대한 통신망을 효율적으로 구성하고 운용 관리하기 위해 ITU-T에서는 TMN 망관리 국제표준을 정하고 있다. 그러나 TCP/IP 기반의 인터넷 망에서는 TMN보다 간단하게 정의되어 있는 SNMP를 이용해 MIB를 기반으로 망 요소(network element) 제어만을 하고 있다. 인터넷 망에서 멀티미디어 데이터 교환 서비스를 수용하면서, IP 망 설계 초기에 고려하지 않았던 서비스품질(QoS)을 제공하기 위해 IntServ, DiffServ 프로토콜 등을 정의하고 있다. 이렇게 QoS를 제공하기 위한 인터넷 망은 단순한 SNMP 만으로는 관리될 수 없다. 그러나 아직까지 이에 적합한 망관리 모델이 정립되지 못한 상태인 바, 본 논문에서는 정책을 기반(policy-based)으로 하여 QoS 서비스를 위한 자원 할당을 dynamic하게 제공할 수 있도록 하는 QoS 인터넷 망관리 모델을 제안한다. 이 모델은 TMN의 관리계층 구조에 맞도록 구성되어 있다.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate factors affecting multicultural acceptability of adolescents at individual and environmental levels. Methods : Participants were 2,032 first-year high school students who participated in the 4th-year Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey in 2013. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multilevel analysis. Results : Individual factors affecting multicultural acceptability of adolescents were health status, ego-resilience, and experience of visiting foreign countries. Learning activity, school regulation, relationship with teachers, and community spirit were significant factors at environmental level. Conclusions : Findings suggest that it is necessary to consider health status, improve positive resilience, activate a multicultural experience program, establish friendly relations with teachers, adhere to social norms, and strengthen community spirit for multicultural acceptability.

The purpose of this study is to conducted on hotel workers. The results of this study are as follows. First, the relationship between self - efficacy and job performance of employees was analyzed. We distributed 300 questionnaires to domestic L hotel employees. A total of 250 questionnaires were retrieved and 233 copies were used for the final analysis, except for 17 unfair questionnaires. The results showed that hotel workers had a positive influence on self - efficacy. Self - efficacy played a role in the relationship between majors' learning and job performance. Based on the results of the research, we develop an industry-university linkage program. Practical majors will increase the workplace adaptability of employees. And the self - efficacy of the employees will be increased to affect the job performance. In the future, I hope that research on the self-efficacy of hotel employees and post-employment job performance will be carried out in the future.

The purpose of this study is to generate the local level knowledge structure of a single document, similar to end-of-the-book indexes and table of contents of printed material through the use of term clustering and cluster representative term selection. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the functionalities of the knowledge structure. and to confirm the applicability of these methods in user-friend1y information services. The results of the term clustering experiment showed that the performance of the Ward's method was superior to that of the fuzzy K -means clustering method. In the cluster representative term selection experiment, using the highest passage frequency term as the representative yielded the best performance. Finally, the result of user task-based functionality tests illustrate that the automatically generated knowledge structure in this study functions similarly to the local level knowledge structure presented In printed material.
