  • The second volume of the Iwakura Reports is the writing on Britain. What is interesting, here, is the fact that the mission had visited the large factories in the major industrial cities. The editor of the reports in particular recorded the productive processes of goods at many factories, and wrote his own impressions of the landscapes of those cities. Those records let us know the real situation of the British economy at the time. Japanese historians admit that the activities of the Iwakura mission largely contributed to Japan's modernization. But there are few studies that analyzed the second volume of the reports which had mainly described modern factories and industrial cities. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the records of the reports on the British industry, and to examine what they recognized from the industrial civilization. The Iwakura Reports would furnish important information to the notables that had initiated the early industrialization in Japan. After the mission's visit, some British companies' export to Japan increased rapidly. What is more important, however, is that the British economy was losing its own vitality in the late Victorian age in which Japan began to be rapidly industrialized. During the Japanese industrialization, some Japanese diplomats and factory-owners might have realized the decline of the British industry. Britain began to be overtaken by her rival countries such as the United States and Germany. The Iwakura Reports do not let us know the change of the British manufacture in the late nineteenth century. Later, the leading figures of Japan's industrialization might focus on the rise of Germany or America. As the Iwakura mission had visited Britain in the early stage of the competition between Britain and other rival states, they could not know the real situation of the British economy. Furthermore, with compiling his manuscripts, the editor of the reports could not help being based upon the factory-owners' explanations and their brochures. This is the reason why he focused only on the excellence and competitiveness of British manufacture.

  • This paper examines the discourse of masturbation in modern England and aims to re-draw the map of male sexuality related to such issues as nation, empire, family, and economy. It argues that the discourse of masturbation in modern England reflects national anxieties for the future of empire and an economic concern for unproductive sexual behavior, which were the main factors to transform masturbation into "solitary vice." The anxieties about empire and British dominance were constituted as the core of the anti-masturbation discourse on the boys. The imperial destiny was regarded to depend on the protection of the middle- and upper-class boys from the harmful psychological and physiological effects of masturbation represented in Lawrence's "The Rocking-Horse Winner." In the case of a single male, the concern for masturbation is constructed as a concern about economy, family, and human solidarity. As seen in Eliot's Silas Marner, the act of masturbation was condemned as the fulfillment of illegitimate sexual desire outside the familial sphere and a commercial economy, and thus without the possibility of human community. Silas Marner and Meredith's The Ordeal of Richard Feverel show the ways of reconstituting sexual others as normalized subjects: Boys were forced to be asexual through the regime of surveillance; and a single male was required to enroll in a remedial course on familial respectability.

  • 미국은 19세기말~20세기초기간에 영국경제를 추월하면서 대기업체제가 출현하였다. 이러한 미국의 성장은 양질 이민의 지속적 유입과 교통수송기관의 혁신적 발전과 전국적 시장형성 및 체계적이고 조직적인 과학기술의 R&D가 이룩한 '미국식 생산양식'현출에 있었다. 1895년이후 10년동안 미국경제는 수직·수평적 통합의 거대합병현상이 일어 300여개 이상의 기업들이 합병에 참여했다. 대기업의 출현이 인식되기 시작한 초기에는 미국내의 시민들은 '부와 기회의 땅' 미국의 전통적 상징이 위협받을 것이라는 우려에서 반(反)대기업운동을 전개하였다. 대기업의 행위를 규제할 정부기구가 설치되고 규제법안이 실행되었으나, 종국적으로는 새로운 경제질서를 수용하고 받아들였다. 이는 대기업 등장이후 초래된 미국의 경제적 번영과 물질적 풍요 및 대기업운영이 이룬 경영관리체제의 효과에 연유된 것을 확인하였다.

  • 본 논문은 영국의 창작산업과 국내 현황의 비교를 통해 국내 애니메이션 산업의 발전방안을 모색해보고자 하는 데 있다. 영국의 창작산업은 이 분야가 갖는 경제적 효과 때문에 1980년대 이후 영국의 문화정책에서 점점 더 중요성을 더해왔으며, 애니메이션 산업은 다양한 표현기법과 실험정신을 바탕으로 독자적인 위상을 구축하고 있다. 반면 한국의 애니메이션 산업은 기존의 OEM작업에 주력했던 업체들이 창작물이나 새로운 형태의 제작에 관심을 기울이고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 국내 콘텐츠 산업이 핵심 산업으로 발전할 수 있도록 기존의 기술 중심의 정책에서 창조적인 정책으로 발전을 도모할 수 있는 방안을 도출하고자 한다.

  • 산업분류(Industrial Classification)는 산업활동의 종류를 체계적으로 구분한 것으로서, 모든 국가는 국가별 일정한 분류 방법에 의해 체계화된 표준산업분류(Standard Industrial Classification)를 운용하고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 자국의 산업활동과 관련한 통계조사를 통해 산업현황을 분석하거나, 관련 정책 수립에 활용하며, 또 국가 간 비교에도 이용하고 있다. 국제적으로는 2차 산업혁명 이후, 국가 간 경제 산업교류가 활발해지면서 국제적인 표준산업분류 기준의 필요성이 대두됨에 따라 유엔통계처(UNSD)는 영국의 경제학자 콜린 클라크가 1940년 산업을 1차(원시산업) 2차(가공산업) 3차(서비스산업)로 구분한 산업 3분류를 기초로 하여 1948년에 국제표준산업분류(ISIC)를 제정하였고, 대부분의 국가가 이를 원용하고 있다. 이러한 국제표준산업 분류(ISIC)와 각국의 표준산업분류는 제정 이후, 수차례 개정을 거쳐 현재에 이르고 있는데, 이들 표준산업분류가 거의 예외 없이 2000년대에 들어 대폭적인 개정이 이루어지고 있고, 그 개정 사유가 신생산업의 출현으로 인한 산업구조 변화를 반영하기 위한 것이라는 것과 그 개정 내용이 주로 3차산업 영역의 대분류 항목을 신설 세분하거나, 1 2차산업 영역 소속의 산업들이 3차산업 영역으로 소속 이동하는 형태라는 공통적 현상을 보이고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이러한 공통적 현상의 발생 원인을 체계적으로 규명하고, 현 분류체계들의 문제점을 분석한 후, 서비스경제 관점에서의 새로운 산업분류체계의 방향을 고찰하고, 새로운 분류체계의 개념적 모델을 제안하였다. 향후 연구를 통해 본 제안 모델을 검증하고 신 분류체계 연구를 활성화할 필요가 있다.

  • A village appraisal is a study of the village, carried out by the people who live there as a basis for influencing its future. It is an exciting opportunity for a village to take a good look at itself, and it is a project in which everyone can be involved. It involves gathering factual information and the opinions of local people, so as to build up an overall picture of the village. An appraisal is a questionnaire survey carried out by and for the local community. It aims to identify local characteristics, problems, needs, threats, strengths and opportunities. It is a means of taking stock of the community and of creating a sound foundation of awareness and understanding on which to base future community action. Over the past 30 years more than 2,000 village appraisals have been undertaken in rural Britain. This research examined 48 village appraisals which had been carried out in England between 1985 and 1999. The suggested strengths and weaknesses of the village appraisals are: the target of the whole population in an area; the wide-ranging in its coverage of issues; well linked to a county-wide support agency; a good tool for identifying needs and wants, and local priorities; a good tool of local democracy and of increasing self-confidence in individuals and the whole community; not an exhaustive survey; very labour intensive; too little coverage of issues relating to the local economy; the lack of any input by professional planners and so forth.
