  • 본 연구는 지역주민참여 보건 프로그램이 정치, 경제적 요인에 의해 실천되는 과정을 파라과이 뎅기열 예방 프로그램인 밍가 암비엔탈을 통해 분석한 것이다. 비판적 의료인류학 분야에서는 보건 의료 프로그램의 실천이 해당 질병의 예방과 퇴치라는 본연의 목적 이외에 사회문화 및 정치경제적 요인이 주요 변수로 작용될 수 있음을 설명하고 있다. 같은 맥락에서 본 연구도 지역 공동체 기반의 보건프로그램이 다양한 외적 요인에 의해 어떻게 작동되는가를 분석하였다. 그 결과 밍가 암비엔탈 프로그램은 뎅기열 퇴치라는 보건 프로그램으로서 실효성에 대한 우려에도 불구하고 국가와 지역사회의 정치인, 기업 등 다양한 이해관계 집단에 의해 실천되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이 사례를 통해 본 연구는 지역주민참여 보건 프로그램이 그 본래의 목적과 다르게 정치경제적 관계에 의해 작동될 수 있음을 파악하였다.

  • 기록물에 중요한 정보가 담겨 있다는 사실보다도 기록을 대하는 인간은 누구이고, 기록을 책임지고 관리하는 아키비스트는 누구인가를 먼저 물었다. 이 글에서는 이런 물음을 던지면서 기록학에 필요한 것은 윤리적 관점이라는 점을 제시했다. 이 글은 윤리적 관점을 이야기 하면서 다음의 세 가지를 강조했다. 첫째, 아키비스트 윤리규약이 이미 있지만 윤리규약 이전에 윤리학을 탐구해야 한다는 점, 나아가 윤리학이 속한 인간학의 지평에서 기록학을 봐야 한다는 점을 강조했다. 둘째, 아키비스트에게는 기록수행에 대한 진술의무가 있는데 이런 의무를 수행할 때 윤리의식이 배양된다는 점, 아키비스트라는 전문가에게 필요한 전문성 발달도 사실은 윤리적 관점을 견지할 때 가능하다는 점도 강조했다. 셋째, 이 글에서는 아키비스트는 기록물을 소유한 자가 아니라 기록현장을 관리하는 존재로 보았는데, 이런 존재에게 기록물관리기술이 필요한 것이야 말할 나위도 없지만 기록현장에서 벌어진 사건을 기술하는 능력도 필요하다는 점을 강조했다. 이 글에서는 세 가지를 강조하면서 인식론적 접근의 필요성에 대해서도 상술했다.

  • One might have a retrospect on the relationship between the forest and human being from the viewpoint of ecological perspective. It is no doubt that most of the fossil humans should have lived on the forest and the latter provided foods and shelters for humans from their beginning stages, Since the so-called agricultural revolution, humans have extensively started to exploit the forest which had beer, their cradle. The industrial revolution has created another situation against the forest in terms of the quality of ecosystem. These two revolutions have set up the so-called civilization which seems to have been based on the sacrificial oblation of the forest. The cradle for human being has been kept exterminating for the shake of "economic development and miracle." This might be a synoptic history of relationships between the forest and human beings in a sense. designates the behavioral aspects of human being against the forest and people consider the forest only as exploitable resource in this context, and the latter means that people live on the forest and strive to adapt the order of forest ecosystem. The resourcism has developed a strategy of colonialism to exploit the forest and provided a winner's position for the human beings against the forest, This idea and behavioral perspective seems to have started the backfire against the exploiter who is the owner of the civilization. However, there are different philosophies and ideas to view the relationship between the forest and human beings. People within the forest who are mostly considered as "primitives" still keep their idea of the ontology of the forest. There is a theoretical assumption of the "socionatural system" to look into the ecosystem. The forest could be viewed in the above frame of analysis. There are five variables : environment, resource, technology, organization, and ideology. Ideological aspect of the forest can be explained in the context of belief systems. Forest has a meaning of religion and rituals and people within the forest should admire it in anyway of religious reasons. This aspect of the forest cannot be separated from the environmental aspect of the forest. People within the forest acknowledge and practice the above idea. People outside the forest have lost the idea, however, at the cost of acquiring the civilization. They have expelled themselves from the forest and divided the socionatural system of the forest by way of colonialism. The efforts like agroforestry and social forestry would be strategies for recovering the idea of ontology of the forest as well as the sense of community including the forest and human being. People within the forest will be a prospective model for the future socionatural system of the forest for the people outside the forest. At this point, an ecological anthropologist can work with the forest specialists.

  • 이 글은 한국 아이쿱생활협동조합 산하의 빛고을아이쿱생활협동조합을 대상으로 안전한 먹거리 확보라는 가치 추구와 경영합리화라는 현실적 필요가 경합하면서 때로는 절충해 나가는 전략과 대응 방안을 연구한 결과이다. 이글에서는 아이쿱생협과 빛고을생협의 역사를 살펴본 위에, 빛고을생협의 위상과 정체성을 설정하는데 중요한 계기를 마련해준 더불어사건과 매장사업을 둘러싼 지역시민사회단체 간의 알력과 갈등 양상을 살펴보았다. 빛고을생협은 창립 준비기부터 여러 어려움을 겪었고 창립 이후에도 생협이 표방하는 핵심 가치의 근간을 훼손하는 사건이 발생하여 침체기를 겪기도 하였으며 지역사회, 특히 시민사회운동 측으로부터도 일부 긍정적이지만은 않은 평가를 받고 있다. 그렇지만 빛고을생협은 꾸준히 조합원의 수를 늘려나가고 있고 지역 시민사회와의 연대활동도 생협의 고유 영역을 벗어나 정치적, 사회문화적 영역으로까지 한층 확대되고 있다. 이러한 경영 및 활동영역의 확장은 매장사업의 순조로운 안착을 배경으로 한 것이었다. 그러나 매장사업의 중요성이 점차 커지면서 경영합리화를 위해 불가피하게 조합원의 수를 지속적으로 늘려나가야 한다는 점, 실무조직의 규모가 점차 커지면서 관료화의 경향이 엿보인다는 점, 전업주부가 거의 없는 상황에서 핵심적인 여성 활동가를 양성하는데 어려운 점이 많다는 점 등 해결해야 할 과제가 앞에 놓여 있다.

  • 본 연구는 1990년대 이후의 구조적 변화 속에서 한국 농민들의 대응 형태 및 생활상의 변화를 규명하고자 기획되었다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 진도지역의 농민운동 활동가들을 대상으로 질문지를 이용한 조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과 드러난 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농민운동의 약화와 희망의 부재이다. 이들은 그동안 적극적인 농민운동을 통해 그러한 구조적 변화에 대응했지만, 삶의 조건은 악화되었다. 그 결과 농민운동 자체가 약화되었으며, 별다른 대안도 없는 실정이다. 둘째, 경제상황의 전반적인 악화와 출구의 부재이다. 진도지역 농민운동 활동가들의 사회경제적 상황변화는 표면적으로는 어느 정도 양극화 경향을 띠고 있지만, 실제로는 전반적인 궁핍화로 보는 것이 타당하다. 셋째, 농민들 사이에서 가치관의 혼돈과 자존감의 약화가 나타나고 있다. 문화적인 측면이나 산업적인 측면에서는 높게 평가할 수 있는 농사가 현실에서는 배제되고 무시되기 때문이다. 특히 수지타산의 악화는 농민들에게 결정적인 악영향을 미치고 있었다.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate remodelling that meets the characteristics, intention and needs of antiquated apartment in Gwangju. For this study, firstly, we observed the current status and residents of old-aged apartments and attempted interview. Secondly, we used ethnographical interview of participating and observation methods based on cultural anthropology. The needed for this study was obtained by the questionnaires with 273 answer sheet. The data analyzing method was the statistic program SPSS. This study targeted more than 10-year-old seven apartment complexes which had above 10 stories. In respect of other needs of remodelling, it was very difficult to obtain uniform remodeling on which the whole residents agreed. As old-aged apartment could not be remodelled uniformly, remodeling types should be specified according to different complexes, buildings and units. Joint plans should be prepared for buildings or common space according to different steps of aging before joint remodelling and houses should be individually or jointly remodelled after joint plan is prepared. Current apartment remodelling is designed to increase economic values, but remodelling is more necessary for the residents with low-income. So, financial burden should be minimized and gradually remodelling apartment for improvement of residential environment is to be preferred.

  • This paper details the advance of the "Hui" (回) people to Korea and their socioeconomic activities in forming their own community during the late Goryeo and early Joseon period. Hui (回) or Hui Hui (回回) is generally recognized as representative of Muslim culture in Chinese and Korean sources. From the $8^{th}$ century, Korean-Muslim cultural relations accelerated as an outcome of ancient Chinese-West Asian commercial transactions along the Silk Road. These contacts between Muslims and Koreans on the Korean peninsula are borne out by references to Korea found in 23 Islamic sources written between the $9^{th}$ and $16^{th}$ centuries by 18 Muslim scholars, including Ibn Khurdadbih, Sulaiman al-Tajir, and Mas'ud1 i. Ibn Khurdadbih was the first Arab who wrote of Muslims' residence in the Unified Silla Kingdom (661-935CE). However, in the period of Silla, we could not find any reliable written documents in Korea to show encounters between Korea and the Muslim world. In the Goryeosa (GS) chronicle, Muslim merchants who came to Korea were described as "Daesik" (大食: Tashi). Daesik (Tashi) is most probably derived from "Tajir", which means "trader" in Muslim language. Muslims' mass influx and their wide ranging influence on Korean society manifested from the late $13^{th}$ century when the Goryeo Dynasty first came under Mongol control and afterward in the early $15^{th}$ century with the new dynasty of Joseon in Korea.

  • Previous research has established the existence of individual differences with regards to individuals' optimum time of well-functioning; specifically in terms of being either morning or evening oriented. An association has also emerged between being more evening, as opposed to morning, oriented and having a greater number of sexual partners. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether "eveningness" in males is an evolved sexually dimorphic trait consistent across different cultures. A sample of 179 male Sri Lankan men residing in two different cultural and economic settings, Italy and Sri Lanka, were administered the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) followed by assessing their sexual behavior history. The results robustly portrayed a highly significant main effect of MEQ types highlighting the twofold sexual success enjoyed by the evening individuals in both regional locations. Morning oriented individuals, showed a stronger preference for going out and partying than evening-types, suggesting that the higher mating success of evening types is not due to their different lifestyles allowing more opportunities to encounter females. However, evening types exhibited a preference for flirtatious behaviors in the later part of the day. Shoulder-to-hip and handgrip strength, as measures of testosterone levels, were not significantly associated with eveningness. The results are discussed in terms of sexual selection and its interplay with human cultural variation.

  • This study aims 1) To explicate the multidimensional structure of a widely used measure of subjective well-being, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center(PGC) Morale Scale is used to measure health in elderly populations and 2) To examine the relationship between the socioeconomic status and related variables, health and physical disability and subjective well-being in elderly populations. The selection of subjects was determined through a survey of 672 rural dwelling elderly persons(269 males and 403 females) aged 60 years and over. The respondents were interviewed by 18 trained health workers using the questionnaire from July 4 to July 9 in 1994. The subjects were surveyed again during the period from August 1 to August 6 in 1994 to conform the questionnaire's reliability. Subjective well-being was evaluated using the Revised Questionnaire of the Philadelphia Geriatric Center(PGC) Moral Scale(17 items, Lawton, 1975). The results are as follows : 1) The item scores were intercorrelated and subjected to a principal component analysis. A rotated three-factor solution was done, accounting for 40.9% of the total variance. Thus, the PGC morale Scale can be derived from three stable factors : Factor 1 was explained "Lonely Dissatisfaction(7 items)", Factor 2 was explained "Agitation (5 items)", Factor 3 was explained "Attitude Towards Own Aging (5 items)". Further, these factors have a high degree of internal consistency, as determined by Cronbach's alpha : 0.7852. 2) The total mean score of PGC Morale Scale was 8.73. Sex, Age, Education, Current disease, Family type, Economic status, ADL, IADL were significantly difference in mean scores of PGC morale scale. 3) In the results of stepwise multiple regression analysis of subjective well-being. the most contributing factors were economic status, IADL, current disease, family type, sex and the R square was 0.23.
