I am a Part of China, and China is Always in My Heart: Korean Huaqiao in Abeojiwa Tanghuru

Abeojiwa Tanghuru is a pioneer work in the history of ethnic groups’ literature in Korea. The publication of this book not only signifies that the views of the ethnic groups have been accepted by modern Korean society, but also suggests the important role played by the literature of the Chinese in diversifying Korean literature. This paper, taking Yu Meling and her book Abeojiwa Tanghuru as the object of study, reviews the history of Chinese immigration into Korea and their cultural memories and discusses the identity of Chinese in Korea, providing more literary perspectives and materials for historical and social studies.

시선집 『靑丘詩鈔』의 편찬과 문학사적 의미

The main purpose of the present study is to elucidate the background and process in the compilation of selected poems, Cheonggusicho published by the Japanese Government-General of Joseon and its meaning in Korean Chinese literature history. Because Kim, Taejun made a diachronic study of Korean Chinese literature history to describe ancient parts of Joseon Chinese Literature History by using a lot of Cheonggusicho.
 The Competitive Exhibition of Local Products for the Fifth Anniversary of New Politics’ held by the Japanese Government-General of Joseon provided an occasion to publish Cheonggusicho. It was held to commemorate the fifth year of Japanese rule of Joseon and to make Joseon merged as a colony of Japan.
 Though Cheonggusicho was published to commemorate the fifth year of Japanese rule of Joseon, it was not a local product. It seems that its aim was for some Japanese to enjoy Korean folk culture, due to the words in the preface, “to give the books printed by the typographic culture of Joseon to the ‘persons interested in the same subject’”. It is doubtful why Cheonggusicho was taken to Joseon Chinese Literature History.
 Cheonggusicho consists of 176 poems stemmed from Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom, to the Goryeo dynasty. Over 130 poems in it were recorded on Dongmunseon. The poems representing each historical era are arranged in chronological order with a poem a poet. It is different from other anthologies. So the origin of Joseon poetry dates back to the earlier era.
 According to the preface of Joseon Chinese Literature History, it does not belong to Chinese Literature because it is the translated Chinese character version of native Korean words. At that time when Kim, Taejun wrote Joseon Chinese Literature History, Samgukyusa(Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms) began to spread and the literary approach to Hyangga(old Korean folk songs), Korean myths and folktales emerged in the academy. That Chinese Literature in Korea should belong to Joseon Chinese Literature History was under discussion.
 In conclusion, though Cheonggusicho was published for some Japanese to enjoy Korean folk culture, it is a clue to spread the origin of old Korean literature by Kim, Taejun at that time when the concept of literature began to change.

응용언어학 대학원생의 타자성 탐색: 호네트의 인정 이론으로부터

This paper is intended to explore the otherness of ‘non-mainstream’ graduate students specializing in applied linguistics at various departments of English language and literature in Korea. Drawing on Honneth’s theory of recognition and its ideology, it attempted to understand the way their ‘professional identities’ are constructed both within and without the related academic communities. Through interviews and reflection journals, the lived stories of research participants illustrated that their trajectories of growth were not a transmission of knowledge and skills in applied linguistics, and that Honneth’s threefold conceptualization of intersubjective recognition (love, rights, solidarity) was usefully applied to the sociopolitical inquiry of ‘becoming professional.’ They did not feel a sense of affection, were not respected as rights-holders, and did not have mutual esteem and solidarity. The non-mainstream students strived for recognition in the graduate program by voicing their emotions in their qualitative research papers and improving their limited proficiency of English which, however, led to ‘uncritical’ conformity. They lost the emancipatory struggle for their independent and scholarly selves. The model of mutual recognition is expected to show good potential as an analytic tool for understanding the motivational and justificatory basis for social struggles. Further research is suggested to examine how Honneth’s theory can help in understanding people in different disciplines.

<시민 독본>(1894년경): 19세기 말 조선의 대영제국 원서

For a long time, it has been generally believed that British literature has been introduced to Korea in the form of a translation and Tyurnroleokdyeong (The Pilgrim’s Progress) in 1895 and ‘Saygusbeea (Shakespeare)’ in 1906 are believed to be the two earliest examples of British literature in Korea. However, this study finds out that there existed at least one English book that was read by an important figure in the Joseon Dynasty and that contains British literature quotes. This interdisciplinary study of the reception history of British literature in Korea analyzes this school textbook of The Citizen Reader (c. 1894) and shows us that literary works while living in the forms of head notes, mottoes, and examples not only function as authorities in binding the expanding empire into a cultural community but also reveal the limitation of the imperial discourse which projects the idea of patriotic citizenship via fiction.

Development of Innovation Studies in Korea from the Perspective of the National Innovation System

The objective of this study is to explore how extant studies on innovation have contributed to the distribution of knowledge required for improving the national innovation system (NIS) in Korea. Korea was chosen as the context for this study because it is one of the leading countries that has succeeded in establishing an NIS. Using a systematic review method, we selected 739 articles published in two representative innovation journals in Korea, and analyzed the critical topics of these articles from the perspective of NIS studies. Overall, we found that these studies helped establish a knowledge base necessary for developing the NIS in Korea. Results showed that, over time, the scope of the studies shifted attention from building the NIS to implementing it. As a subsystem of the NIS, the industrial fields that sectoral innovation systems (SIS) were interested in were also changing in line with Korea’s economic growth over time. This study contributes to innovation studies by offering a comprehensive picture of findings on NIS studies in the innovation literature in Korea, and providing a theoretical framework that organizes the literature. This study expands our understanding of the NIS, which has been recognized as an effective tool to compare and measure innovative performance and economic achievements.

The Intellectual Structure of Attention Research in Korea

This study aims to better understand the intellectual structure of attention literature, its trending themes, and changes. A keyword network analysis method was applied to determine the characteristics of the structure, identify the subfields and main themes, and examine the trajectory of the academic evolution of the field. After a search for peer-reviewed journal articles using the term ‘attention’ as a search word, the keyword network of attention research was constructed based on the co-occurrence frequency of the keywords in the articles. Ucinet, Vosviewer, and Netdraw softwares were used to find out the structural characteristics of the field, to measure centralities of the keywords, to determine the clusters, and to visualize the network. According to the findings of this study, the attention literature in Korea is dominated by the ADHD research. The keyword network analysis yielded 18 subfields and identified ‘attention,’ ‘ADHD,’ and ‘autism’ as the influential themes in the field. The intellectual structures appeared to have developed during the last ten years by exploring novel themes and building up more sound interrelationships among the themes. Several suggestions were discussed for further development of the field in the perspectives of educators and attention researchers.

A Study on the Dementia Representation and Gender Found in Korean and Japanese Elderly Literature of the 1970s

이 연구는 비교적 유사한 사회적 배경을 공유하는 한일 양국의 현대 문학에서 치매 표상을 특히 젠더적인 관점에서 비교, 분석하기 위해 박완서의 ｢포말의 집｣(1976), ｢집 보기는 그렇게 끝났다｣(1978)와 아리요시 사와코(有吉佐和子)의 [황홀한 사람(恍惚の人)](1972)을 비교 분석한다. 박완서의 두 단편소설이 치매를 ‘노망’, 즉 노화의 연장으로 보는 반면 아리요시 사와코의 [황홀한 사람]은 노인성 치매가 정신질환이라고 지적한다. 한국의 노년문학은 1990년대부터 치매를 질환으로서 인식하기 시작했으므로, 일본의 노년문학이 약 20년을 앞섰다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 현재 치매의 임상 연구는 치매 환자를 이해할 수 없는 타자로 보지않으며, 오히려 그 행동과 심리를 이해하고자 한다. 그런 흐름에서 볼 때, 박완서의 단편소설이 드러내는 치매 노인의 감정과 인격이 시사하는 바는 매우 크다. 사회경제적 변화로 여성의 역할과 인식이 빠르게 변화하기 시작한 1970년대의 한일 노년문학이 가부장제 가정 내에서 치매 노인과 돌봄노동에 종사하는 여성의 전복된 권력 관계를 통해 가부장제의 모순과 사회적 지원의 미비를 날카롭게 지적하면서도, 여전히 여성이 돌봄노동을 전담해야만 하는 존재로 간주하는 한계를 확인할 수 있다.The purpose of this paper is to examine the dementia representations especially in the gender perspective in the modern elderly literature in Korea and Japan, which share a similar socio-economic background, through Park Wansuh’s House of Foam (1976), Taking care of home was over like that (1978) and Ariyoshi Sawako’s Kōkutso no hito (1972; The Twilight Years). Park Wansuh’s short stories of the 70s dealing with the subject of dementia regard the condition as dotage, a natural process of aging, while Ariyoshi Sawako’s Kōkutso no hito points out that dementia is a mental disorder. It shows Japanese elderly literature recognized dementia as a disease about 20 years earlier than its Korean counterpart. However, recent medical research for dementia do not regard patients with dementia as unfathomable and alienated, but rather try to understand their behavior and psychology. Under the circumstances, the emotions and personality of the elderly mother-in-law with dementia represented by Park Wansuh’s short novels suggest many things. Especially in the 1970s when the roles and perceptions of women began to change rapidly due to socio-economic changes, the elderly literature of Korea and Japan showed that the contradiction of patriarchal family system through the overturned power relations between elderly people with dementia and housewives engaged in caring them, and the lack of social support for their senior citizens with dementia. However, these works reveal their own limitations by taking it for granted that female family members are automatically the caregivers for their elderly with dementia.

A Critical Review on the Arthurian Literature s Translation and Publishing Practices in Childrens Literature in Korea

본 연구의 목적은 2000년부터 2017년까지 국내에서 출판된 아서왕 문학 아동번역물의 출간현황, 번역상의 특성들, 출판전반에 관한 문제들을 검토하고 분석해 보는 것이다. 검토 대상은 토마스 맬러리의 『아서왕의 죽음』, 이를 청소년용으로 번안한 토마스 불핀치의 작품, 별다른 개작 없이 축약한 제임스 놀스의 작품, 그리고 번역과 창작의 경계에 있어 보이는 외국작가들의 작품들에 대한 번역물을 포함한다. 해당 기간 동안 출판된 번역물의 총수는 36편인데 이 중에서 전집류가 26편이며 논술 관련 대비서의 형태로 출판된 도서들이 11편이다. 이는 2000년대에 있었던 대학입시의 논술 비중 강화와 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. 아서왕 문학 국내 아동번역물에 나타난 번역 상의 가장 큰 문제는 맬러리와 불핀치 작품의 내용의 혼재이다. 즉 맬러리의 원전 내용 일부가 불핀치 작품의 번역서에 들어가 있거나 그 반대인 경우에 해당한다. 출판 관련한 문제로는 출판연감의 기록과 실제 출판 도서 정보가 다른 경우, 동일한 번역서가 세부 명칭만 바뀌어 여러 해에 걸쳐 다시 출판된 경우, 도서에 원작자가 잘못 표기되었거나 아예 누락된 사례들이 있다. 아동 독자를 대상으로 한 출판물인 만큼 번역 충실도를 위한 번역가들의 더욱 세심하고 주의 깊은 노력과 출판사와 출판 관계 기관들의 올바른 서지 정보의 제공 및 기존 출판 관행에 대한 인식 변화가 필요하다.The purpose of this study is to critically review and analyze the present state of publication, some characteristics of translation, and various problems concerning overall publication in Arthurian translations for children published between 2000 and 2017 in Korea. Target publications include translations of Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur, Thomas Bulfinch’s The Age of Chivalry or, Legends of King Arthur which is the adaptation of Morte d’Arthur, James Knowles’s King Arthur and His Knights which is the pure contraction of Morte d’Arthur, and other foreign arthurs’ works which seem to be rather close to new creations. Totally thirty six translations for children were published in this period. Among these, twenty six were as a part of the complete(collected) world literary works for children and eleven of those twenty six books were to prepare for the essay writing test. This may be closely related to placing more weight to the essay writing test in the college entrance system in Korea in 2000s. The biggest problem found regarding to translation is stories of Malory and Bulfinch are mixed each other in one publication. Namely, some of Malory’s episodes are in the translation of Bulfinch’s work and vice versa. Concerning publishing practices, some cases such as the discordance in information between the Korean Publishing Almanac and published translations, continuous republishing of same translations with only tiny revisions, and a mistranscription/omission of a name of an author or a translator. In consideration that readers are very young children, it is very necessary to have translators’ careful efforts for more qualified translations in faithfulness, and bibliographic utilities and publishers’ shifts in perception and attitudes about existing publishing practices.
