  • Horatio Alger's Ragged Dick (1868) betrays the economic and social system of nineteenth-century America through a self-reformative bootblack's quest for respectability. Being considered a space of constant danger, nineteenth-century New York City serves as a game board, and both visitors and residents of the city are supposed to avoid dangers while moving across its space. Dick Hunter, the juvenile protagonist of the novel, illustrates a street-child who starts his game of life from the backline of the game board. Continuing his quest for respectability, not only must he abandon the bad habits that he acquired as a street-child, but he also must avoid thieves and swindlers just like a tourist or like a player of nineteenth-century American board games. As Dick's social rise goes parallel with his movement in the city space, his entrance to a bank brings him the access to other respectable places, and a series of entrance turns him into a legitimate subject in the official system of the American society. While he continues his game of life successfully with the help of gentlemen patrons, in reality it is almost impossible for a disadvantaged player to escape the backline of the society. Thus, Dick's success story presents Alger's fantasy about the ideal economic system in which materials and persons are endlessly circulated.

  • 권기수는 한국의 가장 촉망되는 화가 중 한사람이다. 그의 작품에는 많은 동양예술의 비유들과 철학이 담겨져 있다. 화가로서, 권기수는 그의 그림에 동양적 사상과 현대적 사상을 모두 채택하였다. 그의 주요 주제들은 '매화꽃, 국화, 난초 그리고 대나무'이다. 이 식물들은 한국에서 '사군자'라고 알려졌으나, 영어로 '네 개의 품위 있는 식물' 또는 '네 개의 온화한 식물' 번역되기도 한다. 또한 이 식물들은 네 개의 계절을 나타낸다. 그들은 각기 다른 환경에서 자라나고, 동양 미술에서 이 식물들의 품격과 지성은 매우 중요하게 여겨진다. 권기수 역시 그의 작품 속에 사군자를 소재로 많이 사용하고 있다. 그의 모든 작품에는 '동구리'라는 캐릭터가 나온다. 2002년에 빠른 붓 스트로크에 의해 고안된 동구리는 권기수의 작품에서 주요한 캐릭터이다. 동글동글하고 귀여운 인상의 동구리는 많은 사람들에게 칭찬과 사랑을 받는다. 동구리는 보통 '사군자' 가운데 살고 있다. 바위와 산과 같이 특색 있는 지역에 있는'사군자'는 동구리가 살고 있는 곳이다. 동구리는 또한 등산, 달리기, 앉기 등과 같이 다양한 동작을 취하고 있다. 이 모든 동작들이 이번 과제에서 해석되어온 은유를 묘사한다.
