Critics are inclined to interpret J.M. Coetzee's novels in South African contexts, which Coetzee's own background seems to support. One has to bear in mind, however, that Coetzee tends to "see the South African situation as only one manifestation of a wider historical situation to do with colonialism, late colonialism, neo-colonialism." In other words, putting too much emphasis on South African contexts may diminish or undermine significance of Coetzee's multi-layered novels. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to highlight what Coetzee has to say about American colonialism/imperialism and to emphasize importance of "postcolonial rhetoric of simultaneity" which is repeatedly shown in his fictional works. It gives a meticulous attention to and analyzes "Vietnam Project," the first novella of Dusklands, Coetzee's very first novel, which depicts and characterizes "what Chomsky in the context of Vietnam [War] called 'the backroom boys.'" "The Narrative of Jacobus Coetzee," "When a Woman Grows Older," and Diary of a Bad Year are occasionally brought into discussion as well. This kind of study seems timely and pertinent especially when we take into account the rampant American imperialism which has devastated and almost traumatized the world.

본고에서는 <모던보이>와 <암살>의 탈식민주의적 재현을 공간 중심으로 살펴보았다. 이 영화들은 이중도시론을 탈피한 잡거지로서 본정과 종로를 보여주었다. 이는 탈식민의 잡종적 주체를 가능하게 하는 지점으로 사유될 수 있다. <모던보이>의 본정 재현은 미쓰코시 옥상정원, 명동성당, 남산음악당을 중심으로 이루어졌다. <암살>의 본정 재현은 아네모네 카페와 미쓰코시 백화점에 주목했다. <암살>은 본정의 미쓰코시 백화점을 투쟁 장소로 재현했다. 종로/북촌에 조선총독부 신청사를 건립되었던 역사를 배경으로, <모던보이>는 조선총독부를 투쟁의 장소로 설정하였다. <암살>의 종로 재현은 친일파 강인국 저택을 중심으로 이루어졌다. <모던보이>와 <암살>은 '여성' 민족주의 영웅을 통해 근대의 이항대립적 경계를 돌파하는 탈식민주의적 재현을 보여주었다. 또한 본정을 잡거지인 동시에 탈식민주의 운동의 본거지로 묘사하여 기존의 경성 재현과 다른 양상을 보여주었다.

This article offers a reflection on Frantz Fanon's diagnosis and analysis of French colonialism in Algeria. We will attempt to demonstrate that there is a concrete and clear connection between Fanon as the psychiatrist diagnosing the devastating effects of the French colonial system, and his subsequent political involvement in the Algerian revolution. This is not to say that each part does not contain valuable insights in their own rights, but rather to stress that without being read together, as a whole, one would miss a significant element in the understanding of the importance Fanon's thought subsequently came to play in the emancipation struggles of the colonized worldwide. Furthermore, we argue that it is crucial to understand the intimate connection between Fanon's psychiatric work, his diagnosis of colonial mental disorders, as well as diagnosis of the colonial system as such, and then his political engagement, in order to understand the particular context in which he favourably discusses the use of violence in the name of fighting against the oppressive system of colonialism. Above all, we argue that Fanon's critique of colonialism continues to spark controversy because it still represents the most powerful and incisive analysis of, as well as answer to, the troubled relationship between the blessed and the wretched of the earth.

What does an Irish modernist have in common with a contemporary Canadian classicist? The present paper attempts an unlikely comparison to bring out previously unnoticed facets of meaning by analyzing James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) and Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse (1998) together. While Joyce and Carson write at different times and in different places, I suggest that they are also remarkably similar. First, both of these authors can be said to have re-invented the genre of the novel in the two aforementioned works. Second, they both set themselves the task of re-writing a Greek text, in Joyce's case Homer's Odyssey, in Carson's case Stesichoros's Geryoneis, transferring it to their own present reality. The focus of the article is to read Ulysses and Autobiography of Red together in light of their engagement with colonialism. This concept is central to both novels, as literary critics have noted. However, rather than examining the concept in the traditional sense, I use it as a platform to examine the roles that sociolinguistic colonialism, and what I call literary colonialism, play in these two innovative and groundbreaking novels. Finally, I analyze the ways in which these authors position themselves against the tradition. Comparing works by Carson and Joyce allows me to arrive at conclusions that transcend their time and apply to humanity in general.

The history of occupational health in Korea s covered the era of the Republic of Korea after the Liberation from the Japanese colonialism. But the number of Korean workers exceeded about 2 millions at the times of liberation in 1945, so that it is expected that many occupational health problems inflicted Korean workers under the Japanese colonialism. The authors reviewed medical literatures, administrative documents, and other available data which were published under the colonial state, and collected things which had reference to the health status of Korean workers. The results were as follows : 1. Nutritional status of Korean workers was supposed to be inferior to that of general population, some students, and poor inhabitants in a remote mountain villages. 2. It was supposed that the constitution of Korean workers was near lower limit of average build of contemporary Koreans. 3. The accidents rate in mines was significantly high but decreasing year after year, and the most important cause of accidents was the fall of roof in the mine. The medical facilities and equipments for miners were supposed to be not sufficient in the mines and workshops. 4. Some occupational disease including silicosis, noise-induced hearing impairment, and decompression disease were known. But, overall incidence or prevalence of these diseases could not be identified. 5. On the whole, the fatalities of acute infectious diseases of Korean workers were higher than those of Japanese inhabitants in Korea and Korean inhabitants. The prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis of Korean workers was increasing with every passing year. 6. The medical personnels and facilities were so deficient that most Korean workers were out of adequate medical use. We discussed only a part of the health status of Korean workers under the Japanese colonialism, so it would be necessary to have a better grasp of details of occupational health policy and health status in the era of afflicting.

The primary purpose of the present essay is to survey the relationship between Chaucer's fatherhood and English nationalism. Chaucer as a nationalist poet with essential Englishness is a product of the pre-modern nationalist project initiated between the late thirteenth century and early fourteenth century. In this period, as Turville-Petre regards, the English nationalist identity started to rise in language and literature. Thus this essay surveys the pre-modern nationalist discourse before Chaucer and how it influenced Chaucer to spawn his own nationalist discourse. The latter half of this project, as a reception study, surveys the nationalist receptions of Chaucer in the nineteenth century, when the connection between Chaucer studies and jingoistic nationalism was highly circumstantial. In terms of Chaucer's reception, the nineteenth-century was a crucial period: during this period the nationalist discourse and Chaucer studies firmly combined and Chaucer was envisaged as a boastful nationalist poet. The essay's discussion generally revolves around Chaucer's fatherhood and his exclusive Englishness; "Chaucer the father" is nationalist rhetoric which mediates thirteenth century post-colonialism and nineteenth-century colonialism.

이 논문은 로크의 자연법 이론과 인디헤나의 절멸에서 비롯된 식민주의의 기초를 밝히려 한다. 로크는 자연법을 철학적 전제로 설정하여 자신의 정치이론을 전개하는 것처럼 보인다. 그러나 로크는 북아메리카 지역의 식민지 건설에 참여한 경험을 바탕으로 자연법 이론을 전개했다. 로크의 '소유적 개인주의 입장'은 자연상태와 자연법의 상호관계를 토대로, 배제와 절멸의 논리를 펼친다. 소유권을 지니지 않은 사람을 배제하고, 토지를 효율적으로 경작하지 않는 사람들의 소유권을 빼앗고, 이를 토대로 노예제를 정당화하고 절멸의 논리를 펼친다. 부르주아의 문화가 아닌 모든 문화를 파괴하는 식민주의는 바로 여기에서 비롯된다. 로크는 이를 처음으로 세속적으로 전개한 최초의 사상가이다. 로크 이후에 식민주의는 18세기에는 인종주의로, 헤겔에게는 보편사의 착종으로, 다종한 문화권에서는 '오리엔탈리즘'으로 계속 판형을 거듭했다. 18세기 서양의 '철학사'가 보편사로 확고하게 자리잡으면서 사상과 이론은 서구 일변도의 식민주의와 제국주의의 보편사가 상식으로 통용되었다. 그러나 그 이면에는 제노사이드를 비롯한 인종의 절멸이라는 역사적 과정과 그 철학적 정당화가 잠복해 있었다.

유럽 철학은 유럽 중심적 역사 철학을 통해 식민주의를 정당화한 과오가 있다. 이 글은 식민주의 극복을 위한 포스트식민주의 아프리카 철학의 노력을 중점적으로 검토한다. 포스트식민주의 아프리카 철학은 아프리카의 철학을 유럽 철학의 규정으로부터 해방시키기 위해 유럽 철학이 제시한 철학의 규정을 문제시하여 재검토한다. 아울러, 아프리카 철학의 특수성과 일반성의 관계를 어떻게 설정할지 논구한다. 포스트식민주의 아프리카 철학의 등장은 그 자체 유럽 철학에 대한 도전과 질문의 성격을 지닌다. 포스트식민주의 아프리카 철학의 이러한 도전에 유럽 철학이 자신을 개방할 때, 비로소 두 철학 전통 간에는 바람직한 관계 형성을 위한 대화의 여지가 마련될 것이다. 유럽 철학이 자신을 개방하는 것은 오랜 세월 보는 위치에 있었던 특권을 버리고 자신을 다른 사유의 시선에 노출시키고 판단을 받는 것이다. 포스트식민주의 아프리카 철학은 식민주의 경험과 그 극복의 과제를 마찬가지로 지니고 있는 우리에게도 여러 가지 질문과 도전을 제기한다.

Caryl Churchill achieved spacial politics to resist dominant ideology in Cloud Nine. It is suggested that heterotopia is a counter-site to the places which are controlled by colonialism and sexuality. Churchill juxtaposes African colony of Victorian period in the first act and modern London in the second act. It implies that individuals are similarly oppressed by dominant ideology until now though several conditions for individuals are drastically improved. White heterosexual men in the play try to build their utopia to keep their privileges. If they find anything abnormal to their standard, they systematically classify people and organize them into the different ranks and levels to seclude them from their utopia. Actually, the ideal people in the ideal place are oppressed by patriarchal ideology, compulsory heterosexuality, and colonialism which are covertly associated with gender. Therefore, Churchill uses the cross-casting to challenge the artificiality of gender, sexuality, generation and race in the play. People realize that they need to find their own desires free from gender, compulsory heterosexuality, ethnic, and race and their subjectivity flowing in and out of space. It is the site that all the binary oppositions are deconstructed and creates new multiple nodes to expand the boundary of their communities to heterotopia in real places.
