  • 오늘날 아프리카 사회에서는 신부대 관습이 지극히 왜곡된 형태로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 현상은 남성 지배적인 문화, 서구 종교 및 자본주의 경제 체제가 부정적으로 결합한 결과다. 이것은 신부대가 '전통'과 '근대성'의 충돌과 갈등 속에서 끊임없이 재구성되었음을 의미한다. 신부대 관행이 생계 방식, 조혼, 일부다처제, 친족(가족) 구조, 빈곤, 이주 노동 등과 서로 밀접하게 얽혀 있는 것도 사실이다. 자본주의 경제 체제하에서 신부대는 점점 상업화되고 있다. 이에 따라 신부대의 전통적 상징성은 약화하고 있는 반면, 여성이 물화되는 경향은 강해지고 있다. 신부대의 상업화는 여성 인권 침해, 양성 불평등, 가정 폭력 등을 부추기는 결과를 초래한다. 행위 주체들은 성별, 세대, 계층, 종족 등의 인구학적 사회경제적 배경에 따라 신부대를 다르게 인식한다. 자본주의의 영향으로 신부대가 상업화될수록, 이 제도를 부정적으로 인식하는 사람도 더욱 늘어나게 될 것이다. 신부대라는 관습의 빛깔은 이것을 실천하는 주체들이 사회경제적 변화에 어떤 식으로 반응하느냐에 따라 달라진다. 그들은 주어진 환경 속에서 신부대를 끊임없이 재해석하고 재구성할 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study is to take a new look at factors affecting the spending of retired elderly households by identifying the effects of different types of wealth components, along with socio-demographic factors, on current consumption. A tobit linear regression model was utilized to estimate parameters in the consumption functions. Data was drawn from the 1990 Consumer Expenditure Survey, Interview Survey in the United States.Total consumption and various consumption categories were the most responsive to changes in annual income flow and the least responsive to changes in property assets. The four wealth components differed in their influence on consumption categories among retired elderly households. In addition, age, residential area, household type, and education were found to be significant factors affecting total consumption and consumption categories of the retired elderly.

  • 본고는 자산가격의 변동에 따른 민간소비의 동태적 반응을 분석한다. 오차수정모형에 기초한 분석 결과, 민간소비는 자산가격의 변화에 영향을 받지만 2년 정도의 기간이 경과할 경우 총소득에 상응하는 장기균형수준으로 수렴할 가능성이 높게 나타난다. 이러한 민간소비의 조정은 일시적인 소비불균형을 의미하는 공적분오차가 장기소비증가율에 대해 예측력을 가짐을 시사하는데, 최대 3년 정도의 장기소비증가율에 대해 예측력이 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 한편, 민간소비에 대한 영향은 주식가격보다는 주택가격이 상대적으로 더 크고 유의하게 관찰된다. 또한 경기순환을 고려할 경우 소득 및 자산가격의 변화에 대한 민간소비의 단기적인 반응은 경기수축기가 경기확장기보다 크게 추정되었다. 본고에서는 민간소비에 대한 자산가격의 영향과 더불어 수량요인까지 함께 고려한 자산의 변화가 민간소비에 미치는 영향도 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 자산의 경우는 장기에서도 총소득과 함께 민간소비에 대해 유의한 설명력을 보인다. 한편, 전체 부를 인적요소인 노동소득과 자산으로 구분하여 자산의 변화에 따른 민간소비의 변화를 추정하였는데, 자산에 대한 소비의 장기탄력성은 노동소득을 고려한 경우가 총소득을 통제한 경우에 비해 높게 나왔다. 노동소득을 고려한 경우 자산에 대한 한계소비성향은 2% 정도로 추정된다. 이는 1,000원의 자산증가에 대해 20원 정도의 소비증대 효과가 있음을 시사한다.

  • Human history shows diverse strategies for survival and prosperity. This study introduces the concept of the expansion of wealth as a key to explain choice and behavior of political entities. American scholar, -Bruce Bueno de Mesquita-, offers theoretical grounds for this concept in that the cores of selectorate theory is settled. The political entity consists of two groups, -the winning coalition that has power to replace leader and non-winning coalition that has not. Leaders implement policies serving for the welfare of winning coalition in return for their loyalty. Both internal problems caused by demographic changes and external ones of climate changes, epidemic disease, or invasion compel leader and winning coalition to adopt policies of expansion that they believe may lead to the acquisition of wealth needed to counter those problems. The process starts by occupying one spot where other entities reside and then connecting it to its own. The line between spots functions as a foothold to form a new line to other spots. By repeating this process, a space is created in which new laws and orders are instated. In the early stage of expansion, war is hardly avoidable. Once finished successfully, the political circumstance tilts to encourage economic activities in order to generate national revenues to strengthen political power of winning coalition. However, as scale of economic activities grows, so does political power of civic classes in production and trade. To gain financial support required to run the political entity, delegation of power or bestowing autonomy to non-winning coalition is inevitable. Thus, expansion is not the ultimate solution, only to prolong the political survival if succeed. Maritime power came to attractive option when overland expansion had become obstructed. It offered much greater advantages in terms of political risks and financial burdens in exploring new regions of precious commodities than overland expansion. Each political entity around world have been, for the first time in human history, connected by maritime means since 15th century. It is worthy of noting that land conditions propelled people out to sea. Political and economic situations created opportunities to exploit geographical position in pursuit of wealth. In the 21st century, we witness the operation of international winning coalition that presides over the rules of expansion. Competing for market is synonymous to the expansion in this era, the cause and aim of it has not been changed though. Energy and dollars are key factors of expansion since the end of the 2nd world war. No matter what the forms and conditions change, naval power is still the most relevant means for expansion as it retains unique characters of maneuver, flexibility, continuity, display and projection of power. The strategy for using naval power should be in line with two different approaches for expansion: Approaches to the international winning coalition by making contribution to world order, and approaches to the non-international winning coalition by enhancing military diplomatic activities. The former will serve our share of winning coalition while the latter will open chances to acquire further prosperity.

  • Indeterminancy is one of the thought systems which explains all things with not 'either-or' but 'both-and' the conditions and qualities of human identities and inner state. A view of the world of Dionisos of Nietzsche's and the character of Manneristic trend which has resolved the sense of alienation of men by paradoxic expression has succeeded to romanticism surrealism and postmodernism. 1. Cross-dressing has increased under contemporary conditions. There also have been various cross-dressing phenomena in the past but it appears strongly now that it would destroy the cultural stereotypes and give rise to the cultural insecurities in contemporary conditions. 2. The indeterminancy of status that is wealth versus poverty impacts on variations of contemporary dress. This has been represented by neglecting traditional code which is related to wealth in costume by conversion of the symbols of wealth and poverty as disguise with moderation simplicity and additionally poverty image instead of ostentation. 3. In the cultural aspect that is mother culture/ subculture the author has investigated black street fashion which has newly become visible. The black street fashion is wide spread in black popular music such as jazz Rhythm & Blues Reggae and Rap which is subculture against white. The external values of indeterminancy in fashion are n대-manneristic tendencies as deformation eclectic friction and irrational structure and graffiti method. The inner values by indeterminant expression in fashion are irony and paradox grotesque satire and amusement.

  • This study explores the value structure of experiential rental Hanbok companies using the means-end chain theory. For this, soft laddering was conducted for nine experiential rental Hanbok companies located in Jeonju Hanok Village. Next, the value structure was created. The results are as follows. First, the elicited values are in the following order: "creation of wealth," "promotion of Korean culture," "aesthetic value," "self-actualization," "community development," and "transmission of tradition." Second, most attributes are connected to "creation of wealth." Third, "promotion of Korean culture" and "community development" are similar to Holden's instrumental values. Fourth, some attributes linked to "aesthetic value" express what the experiential rental Hanbok companies consider to be beautiful. Fifth, the companies pursue "company satisfaction" through "consumer satisfaction" and "company differentiation," which leads to "self-actualization" and "aesthetic value." Sixth, it seems that "transmission of tradition" can be achieved through "expertise/expert training," indicating that some companies think expertise is necessary for the transmission of Hanbok and do it. This study is significant because it is a new attempt to understand the core values of experiential rental Hanbok companies and provides insights into their growth.

  • As forest land takes up 65% of the Korean peninsula, there have been continuing conflicts between the development and conservation of forest land. As the income level has changed over time, the usage of forest land in society has changed. There has been increasing demands for forest land for urban development and recreational use. On the other hand, a large proportion of the land is required to be preserved for the forest and the natural ecosystem in it. The existing management system for the forest land has been designed focusing on the management of the trees on the land, and not the land itself. Due to this limitation, the current management system of forest land has failed to protect the forest land from being developed indiscreetly, making it difficult to conserve and develop the forest land in an efficient way. A major question in forest land management is how to integrate economic use activities with the supporting ecosystems to maximize performance of the ecological-economic system. In order to promote sustainable use of forest resources, and to achieve efficient forest land management, it is prerequisite to evaluation on forest resources of natural ecosystems. Quantitative measures are needed that signify how necessary the services and products of forested ecosystems are to human endeavors. In this study, the natural wealth provided by forest land was quantified based on emergy synthesis. Emergy is a universal measure of real wealth of the work of nature and society made on a common basis. Thus, Calculations of emergy provide a basis for making choices about environment and economy following the general public policy to maximize real wealth. The goals of forest land management to achieve balance between the ecology and economy of its integrated system and to foster equity among the diverse outcomes of the forest land were assessed with emergy. Emergy was demonstrated to holistically integrated and quantify the interconnections of a coupled nature-human system allowing the goals of ecological balance and outcome equity to be measured quantitatively. Doing so will provide a better understanding of the basis of forest land wealth and the consequences of management decisions.
