Contemporary hotels adopt distinctive designs in order to symbolize themes of various spaces they consist of. This phenomenon shows that the importance of spiritual values reflected through themes of spaces is emphasized as much as those of basic functions and structures of hotels. Above all, a variety of expression methods pervading throughout spaces of guest rooms consist of thematic spaces, visualization of emotions, as well as mixture of artistic genres, ones that are originated from unconsciousness of symbolic theory of C.G. Jung and widely perceived as variations of archetype. Meanings of symbolic expressions derived from the analysis of various hotels can be defined by attributes of local cultures as well as propensities of mythicism, which feature local pride enlightened by natural environments, the spirit of the times, historical events and other transcendental and fantastic topics. These symbolic expressions are metaphysical forms that are made unconsciously and such symbols are far beyond mere historical and cultural signs which require us profound and mature methods to approach. It is pleasing to know that we are living in the modern society in which progresses are being made to better understand minds and metal states of human beings. Given such a circumstantial advantage, researches on meanings of symbolic expressions should not be limited to only those of hotel designs, but also those of religious architectures and museums in which spiritual values are emphasized throughout designs of the spaces they consist of.

구곡시가는 구곡원림을 연구하는 중요한 소재이다. 특히 시가에서 출현하는 경물은 그 장소성과 원림의식을 표출하는 중요한 소재이다. 그러나 자연에 대한 인식 태도나 미적 형상화 과정을 탐구할 수 있는 식물 소재에 대하여 다수학문들은 소극적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 구곡원림문화의 연구 소재를 확장하기 위해 구곡시가에 출현한 식물에 관한 다양한 상징적 의미를 발굴하고 그 맥락을 밝히고자 한다. 연구의 목적을 수행하기 위해 나는 총 18구곡처 25개의 관련 시가를 수집하였고 총 20종의 식물을 발견하였다. 본 연구는 구곡 시가와 그 해설문을 R-program을 사용하여 수목의 의미를 도출하였고 상호텍스트성에 의한 수목의 의미를 고찰하였다. 연구결과, 20종의 식물은 신선계, 청빈, 향수, 군자의 품격, 진락, 절개, 강학, 태평성대의 상징적 의미를 내포하였다. 다수의 종은 '신선계'에 상징성을 집중하였고 다음으로 '군자의 품격'에 대한 싱징 빈도가 높았다. 복사나무, 느티나무, 떡갈나무 등을 제외한 다수의 수종이 다중적 의미를 갖추고 있었다. 그 중 소나무와 연꽃이 상징적 의미의 폭이 넓었고 주변 경관의 특성에 따라 의미도 달랐다. 일반적으로 구곡문화는 자연경관을 대상으로 하지만 용산, 퇴계, 덕산, 주산구곡은 인위적인 배식 및 정원 행위를 통해 상징적 의미를 강화 또는 재생산하는 특징을 보여주었다. 우리 구곡시가는 무릉도원을 상징하는 복사나무의 한계를 극복하기 위해 단풍나무와 갈대를 대체 수종으로 활용하였다. 이상의 맥락에 따라, 구곡시가에 출현하는 수목은 전통적인 의미를 고집하기보다는 해당 구곡의 경물, 행위 그리고 의도에 따라 그 상징적 의미를 다르게 표출하였다.

This study aims to investigate the representation patterns used by elementary teachers and their meaning-making process in electromagnetic experiments. In particular, we analyzed the representations depending on three levels of their abstractness: enactive representation (action based), iconic representation (image based) and symbolic representation (language based). For this, four experiment activities of two teachers were analyzed and the results are as follows. First, as an overall pattern of representation, an experiment subject is presented as the form of symbolic representation and the related concepts, experimental materials and methods are embodied through iconic representation. Then, through enactive representation, the actual experiments are implemented. The experimental results are primarily recorded through iconic representations and abstracted into symbolic representations to draw conclusions. The different levels of representations complement each other to expand their meanings, however, sometimes they also make inconsistent meanings among different levels. Based on these results, educational implications were discussed in terms of supporting and improving electromagnetic experiment activities.

This study examines King Louis XVI costumes and his portraits according to symbolic meanings. This study analysis of costumes comes from portraits related various domestic and overseas literature, preliminary study papers, and web sites. Omnipotence, activity, nobility, openness and benevolence were distinguished in the symbolic meaning expressed in the portraits of King Louis XVI. Louis XVI in a portrait was drawn with god or expressed as a martyr and symbolically showed the omnipotence of god. Louis XVI was symbolized as almighty god by maximizing the authority and dignity of the king through the hands of justice that were used as a background or portrait accessory and a costume with the symbol of House of Bourbon. Kings of many generations were expressed as authoritative through portraits. However, Louis XVI showed a proletarian aspect in ordering portraits to reflect the daily working image of communicating with citizens. Active images such as the king riding a horse or administering the state affairs were emphasized in a political and military perspective; in addition, the benevolence of the king was symbolically presented through a family portrait. This symbolically signified that the king is a warm-hearted person who passionately takes care of state affairs and loves the people through a noble element coming from pastel colors and attributes of red colors. Historically, the political incompetence and indifference of kings was fragmentally emphasized; however, these portraits considered the king as one who tried to fulfill duties as the true king with a great interest in politics and the people.

본 논문은 장신구에 내재하고 있는 상징적 의미에 대한 연구이다. 상징적 의미란 상징의 여러 속성들 중 의미와의 연관관계를 말하는 것이다. 장신구를 사용하는 것은 인류 문명사의 초기에서부터 나타나는 본능적 행위이다. 인간은 자신을 치장하기 위한 장식적인 목적이나 바라는 바를 이루기 위한 주술적인 이유에서 권력이나 힘을 과시하기 위한 수단으로 또는 사랑이나 그리움 등의 감정을 전달하기 위해서 등 다양한 목적으로 장신구를 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 여러 종류의 장신구들 중 상징적 성격이 가장 강하게 나타나는 반지를 중심으로 장신구의 상징적 의미를 역사적 배경 속에서 살펴보았다. 고대 중세에는 상징성이 강하게 나타나며 근대와 현대에 이르러 약해지는 경향을 보인다. 또, 고대 중세에는 공통성, 보편성을 가진 의미가 많은 반면, 근대 이후 현대에는 개인적이고 사적인 의미가 증가하였다. 시대별로 장신구의 의미들은 시대상황과 연관관계를 맺으며 조금씩 변화하였지만, 장신구는 어떠한 시대상황에서도 우리의 마음속에 의미와 상징을 불러일으키며 인간의 내면의 사상과 감정을 표현하는 역할을 한다.
