  • 본 연구는 현재 영국 사회가 보여주고 있는 다양한 측면에서의 분열과 브렉시트의 관계를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 통해 영국 사회의 분열과 브렉시트 결정이 상호 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지 살펴보고자 한다. 영국의 EU 탈퇴는 영국과 EU와의 관계를 중심으로 설명되어 왔고, 이에 이민, EU 규제, 분담금 반환 등이 주요 원인으로 제시되었다. 영국만의 정체성 혹은 영국 예외주의도 이미 오랫동안 영국 사회 및 정치에 존재해 왔던 브렉시트의 원인으로 여겨진다. 비록 브렉시트로 인해 영국 사회의 분열이 초래되었다는 것이 일반적인 논리로 받아들여지고 있지만, 상기 원인들이 국민투표 결과와 포스트 브렉시트 시대에 나타난 영국 사회의 분열을 설명하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 영국 사회의 다양한 분야 - 세대, 소득 및 교육 수준 등을 포함한 사회등급, 가치, 지역 등 -에서 드러난 분열은 브렉시트 문제로 발생한 것이 아님을 규명하고 있다, 오히려 국민투표 시행 이전부터 이미 영국 사회에 뿌리 깊게 자리잡고 있었던 분열이 브렉시트의 근본적 원인이라고 주장한다. 영국 사회에 오랫동안 내재된 다양한 분야에서 분열은 서로 복잡하게 얽혀있으며, 국민투표를 통한 브렉시트 결정은 영국 사회의 분열을 더욱 고착화시키는 결과를 초래하였다. 결국 이러한 영국사회의 분열은 상대에 대한 증오로 확대되고 있다는 점에서 분열을 봉합하고 국민 통합을 위한 정책 수립이 필요하다.

  • I hope to demonstrate in this paper the degree to which the works of Leonard and Virginia Woolf, mainly The Wise Virgins, The Village in the Jungle, and The Voyage Out, are contained within the politics of home. In doing so, I aim to challenge some mainstream criticism that affirms their resistance to British imperial desire. Although their statuses as outsiders in the British Empire, being a Jew and being a woman respectively, allowed Leonard and Virginia Woolf to criticize British imperialism and a male-dominated culture as well as racial and cultural hierarchies to a degree, their works inevitably unveil their prioritization of the British white-oriented space. In some ways their authorial positions in relation to their texts uphold the imperial center as an invisible regime of truth in their narratives, supporting the patriarchal and imperial binary oppositional structure and its hierarchical order imposed not only on the British subject but also on the foreign, colonial others. Leonard's and Virginia's inconsistencies and ambiguities betray their racial distantiation and notions of British white superiority, as disclosed in their racially stereotyped descriptions and the absence of real communication between the British characters and the colonial, foreign others. The work of self-repetition, the major mechanism in the politics of home, dies hard in Leonard's and Virginia's 'antiimperial' works. Leonard's and Virginia's struggle to stand against the imperial desire needs a genuine ethical position in order to embrace the Other, which would allow us to explore further and guard against the pitfall of postcolonial criticism's being easily degenerated into a neo-colonial criticism, another politics of home.

  • 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.

  • The objectives of this paper are to examine some of the factors which may account for the rise in predominance of British textile manufacture in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This paper identifies a range of important eighteenth century British inventions and associated developments, such as the 'factory' system, which stimulated expansion in textile manufacture in the British Isles and led to the rise in international importance of various 'heritage textile industries', including the Lancashire cotton industry, the Yorkshire woollen and worsted industry, the Dundee jute industry and the Irish linen industry.

  • At different times in the 19th century, the Straits Settlements and Cochinchina were both colonies that the British and the French captured the earliest in their process of invasion of Malaya and Vietnam, respectively. This study examines the transitional stage from the traditional school system to colonial school system in the Straits Settlements and Cochinchina. This could also be considered an experimental stage for building later education systems in their expanded colonies, namely British Malaya and French Indochina, from the closing decades of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. This study, exploiting various sources and applying the comparative approach, identifies the factors that affected the different attitudes and choices of policy towards traditional education models of indigenous communities (the Malays and Vietnamese) pursued by the British in the Straits Settlements and the French in Cochinchina.
