  • Tar Baby, Toni Morrison's fourth novel re examines the problem that black characters face in negotiatiating a place for themselves within a dominant culture, with respect to their own history and culture. The novel critiques the dominant socio economic and commodifying cultural space from which the black woman seems to have no escape. Jadine is a colonized subject, for as a fashion model she has surrendered to an aesthetics of commodification, and as a student of art history, she has internalized the capitalist ethic of the white culture industry. Though she has ensured her freedom, Morrison's critique of her separation from her family and culture is unmistakable. Interwoven with her narrative is Son's predicament, the stereotype of a black racist and her 'lover'. The novel ends with him at the crossroads of culture, yet signaling his passage to freedom through resistance. The paper arguments how Toni Morrison has envisioned the welfare of African American community by reconstructing the role of new black generation, as represented by Jadine and Son, whose new journey towards their self fulfillment just not only bring their personal freedom but also regenerates African American community by resisting dominant commodifying cultural.

  • Toni Morrison's A Mercy (2008) describes Jacob Vaark, an early settler from England, and his grand house that symbolizes the American Dream in the 1680s. The source of his success is colonialism and slavery, as revealed by four female characters-a white Englishwoman Rebekka and three non-white women Florens, Sorrow, and Lina. Analyzing how the novel compares the women's experiences with nature and natural objects, this paper draws on ecofeminism as a theoretical frame of analysis to examine the novel's hitherto overlooked representations of naturalized women and feminized nature. The paper analyzes how the novel represents oppressions and exploitations of the four women in relation to nature that is similarly appropriated and developed by European men. The paper maintains that the novel does not represent these "naturalized" women as powerless and passive but portrays them as growing characters who resist patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism.

  • Toni Morrison's ninth novel A Mercy delves into the colonial American history of the seventeenth century when Europeans began to migrate to the New World and when the first slaves were brought to Virginia. Morrison presents a diverse group of people such as white Europeans, an American Indian, a free black man, indentured servants, and slaves from Africa in order to explore the subjects of ownership, freedom and racism. She emphasizes the fact that most of the Europeans who came to America in the early seventeenth century were the people who were thrown out from the society such as felons, prostitutes, servants and children. By portraying how these castaways tried to settle in a new environment surrounded by unknown dangers and challenges, Morrison demystifies and reconstructs the myth of the birth of America as a nation state. In continuation of Morrison's writings about love and the betrayal of love, her novel A Mercy explores the subjects of trauma, memory and subjectivity by choosing the topic of motherly love and its betrayal which she dealt with poignantly in Beloved. The female protagonist, Florens, is given away by her mother in partial payment of debt incurred by the owner of Florens's mother. The traumatic memory of Florens's separation from her mother shapes Florence's character. She has to revisit the site of the original traumatic experiences of being given up by her mother in order to reconstruct her fragmented memory and past. The recurring dream of the traumatic incident that takes hold of Florens can be explained by the trauma theory of Freud, Cathy Caruth, Suzette Henke, and Judith Herman. The paper explores the self journey of Florens in which she faces the traumatic past and comprehends its meaning which enables her to construct her subjectivity by understanding the true meaning of being free and of owning oneself. In particular, it demonstrates how the process of writing a confession, a story about one's history, enables one to reclaim the traumatic experience and to locate it in the narrative memory.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of interior space in his design hotel through the analysis of Tony Chi 's work and to present the direction of the design direction of the interior space of the design hotel in the future based on the results. The results are summarized as follows. First, the characteristics of the interior space of Tony Chi are divided into visual balance, repetitive rhythm, symbolic emphasis, exaggerated scale, design harmony, and physical borderlessness. Second, the spatial composition through visual balance was consistently shown in all cases, mainly by arranging elements such as furniture and lighting symmetrically. Third, the spatial composition through repetitive rhythm did not show its characteristics at the beginning of the works, but gradually appeared as repetitive rhythm expression using bold pattern. Fourth, Toni Chi constantly expressed the space composition through symbolic emphasis during the planning of the design hotel. Fifth, the exaggerated scale was mainly used to express the architectural detail vertically according to the height of the ceiling to express a grand space and appear in many works. Sixth, Toni Chi consistently expressed the composition of space through the harmony of design of oriental and western cultures, classical and modern designs in all cases. Seventh. In order to provide curiosity induction and aesthetic experience, spatial composition through physical borderlessness was used.

  • 우리나라 주요 수계에서 채집된 총 1,366개체의 표본을 이용하여 비공(nostrils)의 상태에 따라서 우리나라 종개속 어류 2종의 분포 양상을 재검토하였다. 비공과 관련된 분류형질은 매우 안정적으로 전비공(anterior nostril)과 후비공 (posterior nostril)이 분리된 상태와 서로 연접된 상태의 두 가지 형질상태가 관찰되었다. 양 비공이 서로 분리된 종개(Barbatula toni)는 강원도 속초 이북의 동해로 유입되는 하천과 남한강 지류인 어곡천 및 경기도 안성천에 분포하는 반면, 양 비공이 서로 연접하는 대륙종개 (B. nuda)는 서·남해로 유입하는 임진강, 한강, 낙동강과 양양남대천에서 경북 울진군의 방율천에 이르는 동해 독립하천에 분포하였다. 특히, 어곡천과 강릉 연곡천의 경우 동일 수계 내에서 종개와 대륙종개가 함께 출현하여 주목되었다. 본 연구 결과는 한국산 종개속 어류의 분류학적 위치 규명 연구뿐 아니라 지역 어류상이나 어류 군집 분석 연구에 중요한 정보를 제공할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 2004년 5월부터 11월까지 원주천 어류군집의 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사된 어종은 총 6과 24종이었으며 이들 중 한국고유종은 가는돌고기(Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa), 쉬리(Coreoleuciscus splendidus), 긴몰개(Squalidus gracitis majimae), 몰개(Squalidus japonicus coreanus), 돌마자(Microphysogobio yaluensis), 배가사리(Microphysogobio longidorsalis), 참종개(Iksookimia koreensis), 새코미꾸리(Koreocobitis rotundicaudata), 퉁가리(Liobagus andersoni) 및 얼룩동사리(Odontobutis interrupta) 등 10종$(41.7\%)$이었다. 본 조사에서 피라미(Zacco platypus)가 $54.7\%$로 우점하였고 버들치(Rhynthocypris oxycephalus)가 $16.7\%$로 아우점하였다. 또한 우세종은 붕어(Carassius auratus)가 $5.4\%$, 참종개(I. koreensis) $3.4\%$, 종개(Orthrias toni) $3.3\%$, 돌고기(Pungtungia herzi) $3.0\%$ 등의 순으로 확인되었다. 어류의 분포에 따라, 원주천은 비가중치 평균연결법(UPGMA)에 의해 2개의 군집으로 나누어졌다. 생활형에 따른 어류군집의 변화를 보면 저서성 어종의 수가 감소하였고 하상변화와 오염에 대한 내성이 강한 부유성 어종이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • NASA, NSF and USGS jointly conducted a LIDAR survey over several sites in the Antarctic Dry Valleys and its vicinity, acquiring numerous surface points by NASA's Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) conical laser scanning altimetry system. The data set have high blunder ratio, and the conical scanning pattern resulted large variation of the point densities. Hence, to reduce the undesirable effects due to these characteristics and process the huge number of points with reasonable time and resources, we developed a novel approach to generate large-scale and high-resolution DEMs in robust, efficient and nearly automatic manners. Based on this approach we produced DEMs and then verified them with reference data.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore sorts and roles of Afro-American music genres such as jazz, blues, gospel, and swing which were shown in post-structural Afro-American literary works: Toni Morrison's novel Jazz, Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple, and August Wilson's play The Piano Lesson. It has been phenomenal for several important Afro-American writers to create their works in which they invite traditional Afro-American music genres. This has made significant effects to depict a wide range of episodes in their works, which are historically and culturally associated with such music genres. This paper analyzes varied ways in which the writers combine these two artistic fields, which are all Afro-American, and express their authenticity and identity as being blackness.

  • The purpose of this study is to research how the writer describes characters of the text who overcome traumatic experiences and restore their identity through rememory in Toni Morrison's Beloved. The writer, Morrison gives the female characters their voices to recover their ethnic identities. By breaking silence, they establish their identities and become Americans from "unspeakable thoughts" to "speaking subjects." The ex-slave Sethe and her daughter, Denver have experienced trauma which works from traces of memory and history after slavery was abolished. Sethe and Denver are isolated from the community at the 124 Bluestone Road. When Beloved, ghost who was killed by Sethe, appears, Sethe and Denver are wondering who she is. Rememorying in Beloved is the important form of narrative that Morrison uses to recover their trauma. Morrison emphasizes the need to reconcile with the community and the aid of community for Sethe and Denver to heal their truma. Thanks to Beloved who leads Sethe and Denver to the community, they can be finally one of the community members in America.
