본 연구는 'B'지역노조라는 현대 일본의 '계급지향적' 노동운동을 검토하기 위해, 우선 그 이론적 틀을 모색하는 작업이다. 현재 일본에서 '계급지향적'인 노동운동은 주변에서 '잔여적인' 노동운동으로 설정되지만, 그럼에도 그 활동은 활발히 계속되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 그 '계급지향적' 노동운동을 분석하기 위한 이론적 틀을 살펴보았다. 먼저 윌리엄즈에 의한 개념의 변화를 검토하고, 마르크스주의의 계급 계급의식 개념과 '언어적 전회'의 새로운 주체 개념 등을 살펴보았다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 'B'지역노조의 사례에 맞게 '감정구조' 개념을 재해석하였다. 이와 같은 과정을 거쳐 본 연구에서는 'B'지역노조의 '집단적 노동자'와 '개인화된 노동자', '노동자'와 '비노동자'가 물질적 공간 혹은 비물질적 공간에서 집단화를 이룬다고 보았고, 그 '감정구조'는 '''계급지향성''을 둘러싼 모순과 절충'이라고 정리하였다. 그리고 마지막으로 본 연구에서는 그에 대한 '감정구조'의 모형을 제시했다.

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.

This essay examines Edward Said's Culture and Imperialism focusing on the concepts of 'culture,' 'empire,' and 'nation'. The approach is critical, theoretical, and historical rather than explicatory. Consequently, the range of the essay is not limited to Said's own explanation and argument about Western imperialism and its culture presented in the book. In doing this, this essay finally purposes to be a discursive resistance to the current global empire, the United States, via a critical reading of Said's work. Said's notion of culture is set upon to disclose the function of culture as an apparatus of ideological consent of the dominated to the dominant. When applied to imperial practice, Western culture functions to subject the colonized to the colonizer. Said's geographical approach to imperialism complements the historical understanding of imperialism. Imperialism is not only the practice of Western-centered historicism but also the spatially mutual interaction between the West and the rest of the world. Along with European imperialism, Said poses the current global empire of the United States as his main target of criticism. Said's problem is that he takes the United States as a nation-state. When examined, the United States is not a nation-state, but today's empire. The empire in the appearance of the nation-state United States does not work for the interest of the American nation, that is, the American people. The empire is the transnational and postnational political and economic institution that works for the interest of global capital. In order to resist the current global empire, this essay suggests that the building or restoration of nation-states with its basic principle of people's sovereignty is in need.
