This paper is a kind of interdisciplinary studies which connect a Western film criticism with a criticism of minority literature in America. My purpose in this paper is to put on the table such a sensitive issue as racial representation and representativeness in Clint Eastwood's revisionist Western, Unforgiven. We admit generally that Western films have contributed to the white American myth-making of how the West was won. Yet, since the mid-1960s, a growing number of revisionist Westerns were produced so as to raise a question about the conventional way of looking at what happened in the American West. In order to analyze the problem inherent in the way of seeing, I pay attention to how the director Eastwood (re)presents a character named W. W. Beauchamp in the film. Presumably, what the character Beauchamp misses in the West can be overlapped with what ordinary film viewers miss in the genre of Westerns. Given this, interrogating both what Beauchamp sees and what he misses within the movie, I attempt to disclose how much of the West has been unseen from his biased viewpoint. By doing so, I argue why it is important to focus on some passing scenes that touch on the irony of a Native American train passenger, the gaze of the mute Native American housewife, the abrupt disappearance of Asian American men, the lynching of African-American ex-cowboy, and the self-determination of the saloon prostitutes. Then I hope that, conservative and mainstream though the director is, his way of revising the Western is not quite far from my minority-conscious critical position.

This writing verifies ideology producing unethical stratification or discrimination targeting on Grandeur's TV commercial after 2008. And attempts to point out the utopia desired by those commercials reproduces distorted ideology at Korean society. To achieve this, the analysis model was postulated utilizing narratology and semiotics system in application of methodology. The result of discussion, is that the 2008 'Grandeur New Luxury' commercial can have utilized the inflected patriotism and sexual fantasies as the core strategy of storytelling. The fact trebly othering women's body from the point of view of gender ethics can be pointed out as the biggest problem in this commercial. 2009 'Grandeur New Luxury' frankly stimulates costumer's desire of stratum rise and possessiveness, circulating the logic 'owning a vehicle' is a proof of their existence. Also considering the meaning woman narration takes up in corresponding commercial, criticism utilizing feminine signifier as a tool to reinforce male success legend was available. Finally 2010 'The Luxury Grandeur' commercial was able to make a judgement using the mechanism of present consumption culture cleverly which Baudrilliard and Althusser has critically recognized. Because commercial images precisely utilizes the mistake called the 'phantasme-$m{\acute{e}}connaissance$' or the 'reconnaissance-$m{\acute{e}}connaissance$' that consumers easily make. Reminding TV commercials exerts control power against unspecified many sitting in front of the TV, continuous studies with same interest are needed in the future. This writing will be able to have a meaning as attempting narratological methodology for analyzing the storytelling of car TV commercials. But systemizing the criticism about the commercial as a single narrative with going through theoretical supplementation is being respected in the future.

In this paper, a neural network based approach using a self-organizing feature map is proposed for the segmentation of X ray images. A number of algorithms based on such approaches as histogram analysis, region growing, edge detection and pixel classification have been proposed for segmentation of general images. However, few approaches have been applied to X ray image segmentation because of blur of the X ray image and vagueness of its edge, which are inherent properties of X ray images. To this end, we develop a new model based on the neural network to detect objects in a given X ray image. The new model utilizes Mumford-Shah functional incorporating with a modified adaptive SOFM. Although Mumford-Shah model is an active contour model not based on the gradient of the image for finding edges in image, it has some limitation to accurately represent object images. To avoid this criticism, we utilize an adaptive self organizing feature map developed earlier by the authors.[1] It's learning rule is derived from Mumford-Shah energy function and the boundary of blurred and vague X ray image. The evolution of the neural network is shown to well segment and represent. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, segmentation of an industrial part is solved and the experimental results are discussed in detail.

It is unfair that environmental pragmatism has been regarded as a mouthpiece for industrial expediency and business boosterism. John Dewey's radical pragmatism known as 'Instrumentalism' has provoked ecological fundamentalists' criticism more vehemently than any other pragmatic philosophies. However, most of the presumptive misunderstandings of such critics as Holmes Rolston, J. Baird Calliott, Erich Katz, C. A. Bowers and many others come from their limited or reduced reading of Deweyan pragmatism. The following three aspects of Deweyan pragmatism can work out in opening up a dialogical space with those eco-centrist thinkers mentioned above. First, the concept of Dewey's 'primary experience' can articulate the foundationalist view of nature, which is often found in aboriginal cultures. Second, as Andrew Light points out, ecological essentialism can share its metaphilosophical position with the pragmatist epistemology. While Anthony Weston pursues pluralism, admitting that the foundationalism might be one of the efficient approaches to nature, Eric Katz is also clearly attracted to the metaphilosophical element in Weston's argument that anyone who attempts to claim the 'inherent value' of non-human nature never possibly avoids a pitfall of anthropomorphism. Lastly, in a more comprehensive perspective, Dewey's pragmatism shows a philosophical complexity, what Larry A. Hickman calls 'post-postmodernism.' a dynamic interaction between modernism and postmodernism. Significantly enough, the environmental version of this complexity can procure a meeting ground between foundationalist ecology and the pragmatic view of nature.

Cultural Studies built on the critical mind of New Left exposes the relationship between culture and power, and investigates how this relationship develops the cultural convention. It has achieved the new perspective that could make us to think culture and art in terms of political correctness. However, the critical voices against the theoretical premises of Cultural Studies have been increased as its heyday in 1980s was nearly over. For instance, Terry Eagleton, a former Marxist literary critic, declared in 2003 that the golden age of cultural theory is long past. This essay, therefore, intends to show the weak foundations on which the approaches of cultural studies to theatre rest and to clarify the general problem of their introduction to theatre studies. The approach of cultural studies to theatre takes the form of 'top-down inquiry' as it applies a theory to a particular play or historical period. In other word, from the theory the writer moves to the particular case. The result is not an inquiry but rather a demonstration. This circularity can destroy the point of serious intellectual investigation as the theory dictates answers. The goal-oriented narrow viewpoint as a logical consequence of 'top-down inquiry' makes the researcher to favor the plays or the parts of a play that are proper to test a theory. As a result it loses the fair judgment on the artistic value of a play, and brings about the misinterpretation. The interpreter-oriented reading is the other defect of cultural studies as it disregards the inherent meaning of the text, distorting a play. The approach of cultural studies also consists of a conventionality as it arrives at a stereotyped interpretation by using certain conventions of reasoning and rhetoric. The cultural theories are fundamentally the 'outside theories' that seek to explain not theatre but the very broad features of society and politics. Consequently their application to theatre risks the destructive criticism, disregarding the inherent experience of theatre. Most of, if not all, cultural theories, furthermore, are proven to be lack of empirical basis. The alternative method to them is a 'cognitive science' that proves scientifically our mind being influenced by bodily experience. The application of cultural materialism to Shakespeare's is one of the cases that reveal the limits of cultural studies. Jonathan Dollimore and Water Cohen provide a kind of 'canonical study' in this application that is imitated by the succeeding researchers. As a result the interpretation of has been flooded with repetitive critical remarks, revealing the problem of 'top-down inquiry' and conventional reasoning. Cultural Studies is antipodal to theatre in some respect. It is interested chiefly in the social and political reality while theatre aims to create the fiction world. The theatre studies, therefore, may have to risk the danger of destroying its own base when it adopts cultural studies uncritically. The different stance between theatre and cultural theories also occurs from the opposition of humanism vs. antihumanism. We have to introduce cultural theories selectively and properly not to destroy the inherent experience and domain of theatre.

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of Lee Kyo-Won's landscape architecture and add to the literature in this field. Also, the current status of and issues in landscape design will be dealt with through the lens of the individual landscape architect's worts. By adopting a critical analysis, this study will look closely into the background of his career and ideas regarding landscape design. The inherent nature of his coherent style in landscape design will be listed as follows: total design, design-build systems, experimentation with new kinds of plants and materials, and the pursuit of minimalism. His design domain covers various elements such as paving, street lamps, and clock towers, among others. He was often involved in managing outdoor sculpture and he also provided the total packaging of the design-build systems for most of his landscape projects. These are the main reasons why his landscape works can maintain their high end quality; through his craftsmanship, a fine quality of detail was achieved in his landscape design. This tell us the possible options that can be adopted such as landscape architectural design management or landscape architectural turn-key systems, which differ from the prevailing dual system between design and construction. However, his own particular system can not be replicated in ordinary situations because contemporary practices require us to coordinate the various stakeholders concerned in the decision-making process of the design. In general, it is fair to say that we can give him the credit for enhancing the status of landscape design as an independent, specialized field.

픽사(Pixar)의 2003년 작품 <니모를 찾아서>는 흥행과 비평 면에서 크게 성공함으로써 픽사를 가장 영향력 있는 애니메이션 제작사의 위치에 올려놓았다. 특히 캐릭터 중심의 서사전략은 캐릭터 성격화와 관계성의 완성도를 크게 높임으로써 캐릭터라이징의 교과서라 할 만한 업적을 이루었다. 본 연구에서는 <니모를 찾아서>의 캐릭터에 내재된 두려움과 욕망에 주목했는데, 캐릭터 성격화와 관계성을 보다 역동적이며 입체적으로 강화하는 요소라고 여겼기 때문이다. 일반적으로 인간은 두려움과 욕망에 의해 모든 선택과 행동의 방향이 정해지기 때문에 삶이 이 두 가지 요소의 지배를 받는다고 여겨지고 있다. 이러한 관점에서<니모를 찾아서>의 캐릭터라이징은 크게 세 가지 특성을 갖고 있다. 그것은 (1) 픽사의 다른 어떤 작품보다도 캐릭터의 내재된 두려움을 명확히 하고 있으며, 그 두려움을 회피하는 노력이 서사화 된다는 점. (2) 에니어그램 성격유형에서 정립한 두려움과 욕망에 의한 성격역동과 놀랍도록 일치한다는 점. (3) 중심 캐릭터(멀린, 니모)가 서로 떨어져 있는 구출과 탈출 플롯의 특성 상, 두려움이 해소되는 방식이 중심 캐릭터간의 상호 성격역동에 의한 것이 아닌, 중심 캐릭터의 결핍을 보완하는 정신적 가치를, 주변 캐릭터(도리, 길)로 성격화하여 이루어졌다는 점이다. 선행연구 작품인 <쿵푸팬더>에서는 팬더 포의 캐릭터라이징이 너무 월등하다는 점이 역설적인 한계로 작용하지만, 중심 캐릭터(포, 시푸)의 두려움+욕망 설정과 상호 성격역동은 매우 정교하며 효과적이었다. 반면에 <니모를 찾아서>는 중심 캐릭터인 아빠와 아들간의 갈등이 해결되는 과정에서 다양한 캐릭터와 서브플롯을 선보이며 신선한 재미와 견고한 서사구조를 갖추고 있지만, 중심 캐릭터의 두려움과 욕망 설정의 완성도가 매우 뛰어남에도 불구하고, 그 해소의 과정이 다소 의존적이라는 한계를 드러내고 있다. 끝으로 본 연구가 애니메이션 캐릭터라이징과 관련하여 또 다른 접근방법이 될 수 있으리라 사료되며, 캐릭터 성격화와 관계성 설정 시 도움이 되길 희망한다.

이 글은 극단 '사니너머'에 의해 공연된 <돌아온 박첨지 시즌2>의 분석을 통해 전통연희의 현재화 방안을 모색하고, 작품이 지니는 공연사적 의의를 정립하는데 그 목적이 있다. <돌아온 박첨지 시즌2>는 남사당패 놀이종목 중의 하나였던 <꼭두각시놀음>의 동시대적 변주를 시도했다. 이를 위해 <꼭두각시놀음>의 주인공이자 서사전달자인 박첨지의 역할을 배제하거나 축소시킴으로써 박첨지 주변 인형들의 부각을 꾀했다. <돌아온 박첨지 시즌2>는 원 텍스트에 우리사회의 민감한 뉴스들과 사건들을 끌어와 접목했으며 '장구잽이' '북잽이' '세월호' '바바리맨 김가' '육방' '매호씨' '초란이' 등의 창작모형과 인형들을 제작해 현대판 <꼭두각시놀음>을 구축하는데 동참시켰다. 창작인형들과 '박첨지' '꼭두각시' '상좌중' '이시미' 등과 같은 전통인형들의 조합은 <꼭두각시놀음>이 성행했던 조선시대를 뛰어넘어 현대사회를 패러디하고 비판하는데 매우 적절히 적용될 수 있었다. <돌아온 박첨지 시즌2>의 등장인형들이 우리시대를 풍자하고 비판하는데 주로 활용되었다면 줄놀음 풍물놀이 버나놀이 사자놀이 등의 놀이장면들은 극적 재미를 창출하고 남사당패의 놀이정신을 환기시켜주는 이중의 효과를 꾀할 수 있었다. 남사당패 레퍼토리 중의 하나인 인형극의 형식을 차용해 줄놀음 풍물놀이 버나놀이와 같은 남사당 놀이종목들을 중첩시킴으로써 극적효과를 극대화하고 이로써 관람객들과 폭넓은 공감대를 형성하는데 실효를 거둘 수 있었다는 점이다. <돌아온 박첨지 시즌2>는 <꼭두각시놀음>의 단선적이고 단조로운 공간적 장애를 극복하기 위해 무대 전면과 후면에 단계적으로 층위를 두고 검은 천을 두름으로써 깊이 감을 자아냈다. 이렇게 앞뒤로 확장된 무대는 인물들의 등 퇴장시 웅장한 장관을 연출했을 뿐만 아니라, 다양한 볼거리와 연극적 재미를 창출하는 매개체로 작용할 수 있었다. 그 결과, <돌아온 박첨지 시즌2>는 현전하는 <꼭두각시놀음>에 존재하는 않는 '동시대 사회상의 비판과 현실참여'라는 원전의 기본정신을 되찾게 되었다. 전통연희를 보존하며 동시에 현대화가 가능할 수 있음을 입증한 것이다. 극단 '사니너머'의 이러한 시도는 전통연희 보존회 혹은 전수회가 추구해야할 궁극적이고 바람직한 모델을 제시해주었다. 연희단체들에게 공연을 올리는 목적과 연습에 임하는 자세에 대해 명쾌한 답을 주었다. 전승연희 본연의 임무에 대해 깊이 생각할 수 있는 기회를 마련해주었다는 사실이다. 나아가 전통연희의 원형적 특성을 살려 현대 관객들과 소통하는 방식은 연출기법의 외연을 확장시키는데 기여할 수 있었다. <돌아온 박첨지 시즌 2>가 전통을 현재화하는 기존의 연출방식을 뛰어넘어 독창적 노선의 새로운 공연양상을 창출하였기 때문이다.

Geun Hyung Park is one of the playwrights who consistently pursues his unique world of play. One of the characteristics that is constantly discovered in Park's plays is the motif of 'family.' Park chooses family as the motif in most of his work. Park particularly emphasizes 'family life' rather than 'individual life' to focus on the internal problems of families. Therefore, the motif of family in Park's plays takes a very important position in the content and theme. The Korean society imposes unique value on families and possesses a strictly obstinate family ideology. Park observes distorted family relations or individuals who cannot be happy within their families to identify the problems related to the family ideology that is deeply rooted in the Korean society. This is one of the important backgrounds for which Park is constantly dealing with 'family life.' This study selected five of Park's most famous plays to specifically examine Park's critical understanding of family ideology. First, his criticizes extreme family egoism by depicting a family that cannibalizes people to keep the family full. Park chooses 'absurd time and space' and the extreme subject of 'human flesh' to warn his audiences about the awful consequences of family egoism. His , which is the only piece that deals with family history among the five pieces selected, criticizes Korea's unique family-centered ideology by humorously depicting the history of the Cho family that is all about maintaining and worshipping the its clan. He reveals the unethical and hypocritical attitudes of the Cho family for the audiences to reconsider the family-centered ideology of the Korean society. In , he talks about the son and the father who lose his ethical authority and fail to perform his paternal responsibilities to criticize the traditional family ideology of patriarchism and suggests the pessimistic future of patriarchism. contrasts a blood-related family with an irresponsible father and a quasi-family to criticize the identity of blood-related families. In , Park depicts a 'smelly house' of a family in agonizing relations to deny the family myth and the maternal myth. He clearly shows how the ideals of family myth and maternal myth are distant from the reality. In result of this study, Park's criticism of family ideology appears in various forms. He comprehensively criticizes both the general family problems and the unique family issues of Korea. The family ideology of Korea is currently undergoing a radical change. It has been long since the traditional family ideologies have exposed problems to show the signs of crisis. Also, there have emerged various forms of families, including single-parent families, one-person families, adoption families, and multi-cultural families. In this respect, Park's critical understanding of family ideologies allows you to see the obvious family forms from a new perspective and greatly contributes to awakening the essential questions about families. Park's work is noticeable among the various artistic and literature pieces that deal with family issues because of his extraordinary skills to capture the key issues inherent in the problems of family ideologies.
