China has been experiencing a series of changes after gradually opening up its society. Such changes have now seeped into almost every sector of the society, leading to overall change. While the political system has been maintained without much change, the structure of life for Chinese has undergone a shift, especially in the sectors related to industry or the economy. The Chinese have adopted capitalism in their own way, leading to fast growth in their industries. Those who were born in the 1980s amidst such change (so-called the post-80s generation) are now playing a major role in Chinese society. Understanding this generation can help understand some of the most important phenomena in today's China. Therefore the language used by this generation is in particular meaningful as language often reflects the society it is used in. This study focuses on the newly created words arising from the lifestyles of the post-80s generation to better understand how the China's move towards a more open society over the past three decades have brought about changes. The work culture and consumption styles of the post-80s generation are also showing some collective characteristics. As such, a review of newly created Chinese words related to this generation is expected to increase understanding of the overall Chinese society and Chinese culture of today.

Culture as a source of identity, as Edward Said says, can be a battleground on which various political and ideological causes engage one another. It is not mere individual cultivation or private possession, but a program for social cohesion. Sensitively aware that a national culture should be independent from Europe, Walt Whitman enacts a new form of literature by placing different cultural values against Old World tradition. His interest in autochthonous culture originates from his deep concern about national consciousness. He believes that literary taste directed toward highly-ornamented elite culture is an obstacle to cultural unification of a nation. In order to represent American culture of the common people, Whitman incorporates a lot of cultural material into his poetry. Since he believes that America has many respectable writers at home, he urges people to adjust to their own taste instead of running after foreign authors. Whitman differentiated his poetry from previous literary models by disrupting the established literary norms and reconfiguring cultural values on the basis of American ways of life. In his comment on other poets, he concentrates on the originality and nativity of poetry. By claiming that words have characteristics of nativity, independence, and individuality, he envisions American literature to be distinguished from British literature in literary materials as well as in language. Whitman s language is composed of a vast number of words that can fully portray the nation. He works over language materials in two ways: reterritorialization and deterritorialization. Not only does his literary language become subversive of the established literary language, but also makes it possible to express strength and intensity in feeling.

이 논문은 인터넷 누리꾼들이 중요한 표현 매체형식으로 이용했던 패러디의 정치 미학적 가능성과 한계를 관찰한다. 특히, 2003년의 대선 정국, 2004년의 총선, 노무현 전대통령의 탄핵 정국, 만두파동, 그리고 서울시장의 '서울시 봉헌' 발언 등에 반응해 대중이 생산해냈던 정치 패러디물들을 중심에 놓고 본다. 당시 시사정치 패러디물에 힘입어 여론이 헝성되거나, 그 중 일부는 언론의 주목을 크게 받았던 경우를 심심찮게 볼 수 있다. 이 글은 먼저 한국사회에서 이렇듯 영향력을 행사했던 패러디물이 급격하게 대중화하다 왜 갑자기 쇠퇴했는지를 최근 몇 년의 패러디 발전 과정을 통해 살펴보고, 누리꾼들의 정치 패러디물들을 중심에 놓고 그들이 지닌 정치 미학적 특성과 함의를 살핀다. 본 연구는 이를 통해 누리꾼들의 대중적 창작 행위 증가, 디지털 기술에 의한 매체 표현의 다면성, 그리고 아마추어 작가들의 등장에서 정치 패러디의 긍정적 의의를 찾는다. 하지만, 이들 가능성에도 불구하고, 아마추어 패러디 작품들의 영향력이 대단히 단발적이고 휘발성을 지녔다는 점을 한계로 지적한다. 단순히 영화포스터 등 오락미디어 문화의 상징적 이미지들에 전적으로 의존하는 패스티쉬(혼성모방)의 정치 미학에 문제가 있다고 보고, 이것이 결국 정치적 앙가주망의 도구로써 패러디의 창조적 역할을 약화시켰던 원인이 되었다고 평가한다.

자본주의화된 식민지 조선에서 기생은 위기감 속에서 경제적 구원자가 될 남성에 의존해서 사는 처지였지만 다른 한편으로는 근대와 자본주의가 부여한 변신의 기회를 갖기도 했다. 사회주의자 정칠성도 정치적 각성을 통해 그러한 변신의 기회를 활용한 사람 중 하나였다. 정칠성의 정치적 각성은 3.1운동이라는 역사적 계기와 십여 년 간 기생으로서 경험했던 개인의 노동 체험이라는 두 가지 요인이 작용한 결과이다. 3.1운동은 민족주의라는 외연을 띤 거대한 정치적 사건이었지만 정칠성이라는 한 여성의 개인적인 분노의 감정을 이끌어낸 계기이기도 했다. 또한 초기 자본주의 사회에서 직업을 가진 여성들은 직무 상의 역할 이외에도 순종적이면서도 아량이 넓어야 한다는 정서적인 역할을 강요받았다. 즉 초기 직업 여성들은 공적 영역에서 젠더 위계와 젠더 권력 속에 무방비로 노출됨으로써 분노와 수치, 모멸감 등의 감정을 겪어야 했고 이러한 감정들이 정칠성의 사례에서 나타나듯 어떤 정치적 각성에 이르게 함을 알 수 있다. 노동 경험과 감정의 문제를 매개로 한 정치적 각성은 정칠성으로 하여금 다른 여성 사회주의자들과는 달리, 여성의 경제적 독립이라는 이슈를 구체적이고 현실적으로 이해하게 만든 요인이었다. 그러나 사회주의 언어는 정칠성에게 자신의 체험을 설명할 수 있는, 당시로서는 상대적으로 가장 적절한 언어였지만 그녀의 체험은 엘리트 사회주의 언어로서는 설명될 수 없는 지점들을 갖고 있다. 따라서 그녀의 삶은 엘리트 중심의 사회주의 운동을 넘어서, 하층민 여성의 삶이 새로운 감성으로 분할되고 등재되어 정치적으로 가시화될 필요가 있음을 역설적으로 증명하고 있다.

세계가 점점 더 통합됨에 따라 자선단체는 국내 문제 뿐만 아니라 빈곤, 기근, 자연 재해 등 세계 전역에서 일어나는 문제들을 다루게 되었다. 국제적으로 많은 조직들이 도움을 제공하고 이러한 문제들을 완화시키기 위해 노력하고 있지만, Jusoor, Karam Foundation, Save the Children, 그리고 Oxfam 등 대부분의 자선단체들이 서구사회에 기초하고 있다. 이 논문은 동양과 서양 두 지역 사이에 기부 문화 불균형이 존재하는 이유를 분석한다. 이 논문은 지역적 차이를 설명하면서 자선 재단에 대한 아시아인들의 뿌리 깊은 불신과 아시아에서의 자선 기부를 장려하는 정부 정책의 부재, 그리고 추세를 형성하는 다른 여러 사회적, 경제적, 정치적 요인에 특히 초점을 맞추고 있다. 아시아가 세계의 다른 지역에 비해 자선 문화에서 왜, 그리고 얼마나 크게 뒤처지는지를 분석한 결과, 이 논문은 아시아 자선 시장에 "창조적 파괴"가 필요하다는 것을 증명한다. 더 나아가 이 논문은 혁신적인 신생 기업이 새로운 형태의 기술, 즉 등록 파트너쉽 기반을 갖춘 접근하기 쉬운 애플리케이션을 도입하여 정기적으로 앱 사용자들의 기부금 사용처와 금액을 업데이트함으로써 아시아 자선 사업의 신뢰도를 높일 수 있다고 제안한다. 이러한 새로운 형태의 기술은 아시아의 자선 문화를 둘러싼 다른 문제들을 다루는 데 또한 도움이 될 것이다.

The purpose of this paper is to 1)examine the current state of cultural studies in Korea with a focus on recent discourses about its 'crisis' and 2)attempt to find some ways out of these dilemmas in drama/theatre/performance studies. As Raymond Williams redefined 'culture' as 'a whole way of life,' performance studies has expanded the boundary of 'performance' from traditional performing arts onto almost everything that can be studied and analyzed 'as' performance. Performance is not only the final product on display but a whole process that includes training, workshop, and rehearsal of culture. According to Richard Schechner, workshop and rehearsal are the most critical and creative 'liminal' phases that allow traditional knowledge and alternative challenges to coexist in conflict and intentionally delay the final decision by putting itself in a perpetual process. From this view, this essay attempts to find an-no matter how limited and temporary-answer to or a possible exit from political and theoretical aporias of cultural studies.
