유희적 사랑과 손의 미학

우정민 한국로렌스학회 2019 D.H. 로렌스 연구 Vol.27 No.1

This article is an attempt to understand the meanings of “hand” in the postmodern/posthuman world by reading two love stories written by an English writer/artist D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) and a Canadian short-story writer Alice Munro (1931-): “You Touched Me” and “Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage.” At the core of these stories hands play an important role in deconstruction of human relations by awakening what Walter Benjamin puts “the old co-ordination of the soul, the eye, and the hand” in his 1936 essay “The Storyteller.” Reading the short stories vis-à-vie Benjamin’s theory of narratives and visual arts, love can be seen as a construction whose place is formed not in “homogenous and empty” aura, but in that which is fulfilled by the instant and sensual body living in here-and-now. Hands that touch each other symbolize no more than the opening of body toward the unknown and nameless other and perhaps one of the scarce resources to remain truly human in the posthuman era.

신화의 파괴자/구원자, D. H. 로렌스: 「뱀」, 「네가 나를 만졌어」, 「해」의 상호텍스트성 분석

우정민 한국로렌스학회 2022 D.H. 로렌스 연구 Vol.30 No.2

D. H. Lawrence is one of the writers whose oeuvre has to be perceived as one organic system. In other words, intertextuality is the very key to grasping his often paradoxical, sensational, and controversial works of art. For example, “Snake,” one of the representative animal poems published in Birds, Beasts, and Flowers (1923), “You Touched Me,” a weird wedding story published in England, My England (first written in 1919, published in 1920 and 1922), and “Sun,” another bizarre story in The Woman Who Rode Away and Other Stories (written around 1920 to 1922, published in 1926 and 1928) share the writer’s life-long ambition to create mythology of his own: the myth which attempts to revolutionize the fixed mind that has long been exposed to the tradition of Western civilization. As a radical mythologist, whose goal is to play with the grand narratives and deconstruct the conventional belief system, he re-writes the story of Genesis with a view to rescue the demonic creature “snake” into the real world. In this paper, I would demonstrate that he performs the role of a mythologist which Roland Barthes explores in his 1957 collection of essays, Mythologies; and by understanding the intertextuality of Lawrence’s mythopoeic narratives, I would argue that he creates a world where what he calls “a revolution for fun” takes place.

Bidirectional Association between First-Episode Panic Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder in a Nationwide General Population Survey in Korea

우정민,홍진표,조성진,이준영,전홍진,김병수,장성만 대한의학회 2019 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.34 No.26

Background: Panic disorder (PD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) can occur concurrently, despite different clinical manifestations. Because MDD and PD patients tend to have more complicated conditions, understanding the co-occurrence and pattern of these conditions is important. Here, we investigated the influence of PD and MDD on each other, with respect to time interval. Methods: Data from three national representative surveys were pooled (total 18,807 respondents), and the age of onset (AOO) of PD and MDD was analyzed. We performed Kaplan-Meier analysis to estimate separate survival functions, using the AOO of MDD and PD as the outcome. To understand the temporal effect of other disorders, we used a Cox proportional hazard model to estimate the hazard ratios for the onset of MDD/PD with other comorbidities as time-dependent covariates. Results: PD elevated the risk of subsequent MDD by 1.5-fold, whereas MDD elevated the risk of subsequent PD by 3.8-fold. The effect of such an elevation risk was significant for up to 2 years. Conclusion: The results revealed a bidirectional relationship between MDD and PD. Each disease represents a risk of a subsequent occurrence of the other, which lasts for a considerable duration.

항공기 중량 추정 프로그램 개발

우정민,강연철,김정호,조진연,황인성,강왕구,이해창 한국항공우주학회 2013 한국항공우주학회 학술발표회 논문집 Vol.2013 No.11

항공기의 개념설계 단계에서 최대이륙중량(Design take-off gross weight) 및 요소중량을 경험식을 이용하여 추정할 수 있으며 이 값을 기반으로 이후의 설계 과정을 진행하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이 과정을 컴퓨터를 이용하여 자동화함으로써 이러한 개념설계 단계를 보다 효율적으로 진행할 수 있도록 하기 위해 이미 알려진 총 4 종류의 경험식을 활용하여 항공기의 최대이륙중량 및 요소중량을 추정할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 통해 경험식으로 추정한 항공기의 최대이륙중량 및 요소중량을 쉽게 계산할 수 있고, 또한 이 경험식을 이용한 결과 간의 비교 및 평균 등이 가능하므로 항공기의 개념설계 단계에서 매우 유용하고 편리하게 활용될 수 있다. On aircraft conceptual design phase, one can estimate the design take-off gross weight and component weight with empirical formula, and then continue the next design process with these values. A program which can calculate the design take-off gross weight and component weight by applying four types of known empirical formula is developed in order to automate the weight estimation phase and it can make this phase efficient and easy to execute. This program offers a convenient user interface to calculate these values and one can compare or get the average of these values. Thus it would be very useful and convenient to apply this program on aircraft conceptual design phase.

비체의 희망을 찾는 현대영미시 읽기

우정민 한국영미문학교육학회 2019 영미문학교육 Vol.23 No.1

Why do we read poems? This article is an attempt to propose an answer to such an unfathomable question. First of all, this paper presents an idea that poetry is the song of “chora,” of which the meaning is borrowed from Plato’s Timaeus to denote mobile and provisional articulation rather than certain and determinate. The chora as rupture and rhythmic articulation precedes scientific and rational languages such as evidence, verisimilitude, spatiality, and temporality, and dismantles the patriarchal logocentrism and hierarchy by embodying enigmatic energy. Secondly, poetry is the song of “abject.” Abject is neither subject nor object; it is a deject who strays. Abjection is a kind of border and ambiguity that civilized modernity has tried to repress and purify. Based on these two premises, I argue that modern poetry inherits and unfolds the possibility to murmur a heterogeneous, corporeal, and verbal ordeal of fundamental incompleteness. By reviewing D. H. Lawrence and Sylvia Plath’s later poems, I would suggest that reading poetry is a revolutionary process of deconstructing monolithic dichotomy and a meaningful experience in search of a new dialectic of abjection.

소설 교육의 오래된 미래: (불)가능한 자세히 읽기의 가능성을 찾아서

우정민 한국영미문학교육학회 2022 영미문학교육 Vol.26 No.1

This paper is an attempt to answer a simple but difficult question: how do we teach novels in the midst of the fierce competition in the current world. It has been a half century since the death of the novel was first declared; and now it is no longer news that literature courses―let alone novel reading classes―are rapidly disappearing from our university curriculum. In order to confront such a crisis, various analytical strategies have been suggested and tested in the recent literary studies, among which Franco Moretti’s timely proposal on “distant reading,” has become an attractive option for teaching novels. Handy summaries and video clips are flooding trendy high-tech university classrooms and subsequently drowning the old-fashioned method of traditional literary education. However, I would argue that the literary courses, in particular the fiction curriculum, ought to preserve the ancient methodology of close reading despite the unassailable pressure from the globally swiping neoliberal rat race. Close reading, as ancient it may sound, would let us see the novel futures of the novels as well as the novelty of the world.

Acamprosate-induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms in an Elderly Patient with Alcohol Dependence

우정민,임효덕 대한정신약물학회 2014 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.12 No.2

Acamprosate reduces the craving for alcohol by decreasing glutamate activity and increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)action in patients with alcohol dependence. Acamprosate has tolerable side effects that include diarrhea, headache, dizzinessand pruritus. In this study, we report acamprosate-induced extrapyramidal symptoms in an elderly patient with no history ofneurologic disease. Severe extrapyramidal symptoms developed two days after the administration of acamprosate and improvedover one week after the acamprosate was stopped. Extrapyramidal symptoms are commonly associated with dopamine receptorantagonists. However, there have been several reports of extrapyramidal symptoms occurring with drugs targeting other systems,including GABA, glutamate and serotonin. Acamprosate may decrease dopamine levels in the ventral tegmental area mediatedby glutamatergic action and thus cause extrapyramidal symptoms. We suggest that acamprosate carries the risk of causingextrapyramidal symptoms.

Victorian Synthesis of Enlightenment and Decadence Ruskin’s Reading of Turner’s Paintings and Myths

우정민 한국영미문화학회 2007 영미문화 Vol.7 No.2

Victorian Synthesis of Enlightenment and Decadence: Ruskin’s Reading of Turner’s Paintings and Myths Around the middle of the nineteenth century, the word transitional was much approved in terms of both theoretical and practical aspects. A Victorian thinker and critic, John Ruskin (1819-1900) discovers that what reanimates myth and its symbolic significance is not so much orthodox belief, but an imaginative perception of the natural phenomena to which myths and symbols originally refer. For Ruskin, the revision of mythical images into language is the task of the imaginative artists and also of the critics. Ruskin’s critical interpretation of Turner’s paintings focuses on the language of colours, images, natural symbolism, and myth referring to the Victorian moral and spirit as well as his own artistic values. Ruskin’s study of nature and myths in Turner’s paintings conveys the phenomenological origin of symbolic language, not only in a metaphorical sense but also in actual environmental aspect. Modern interpretation of Turner tells that his paintings are in short the study of nature and light. Though Ruskin himself did not take up this word, it is in a sense environmental thinking through which he conceives nature as the origin of language. Furthermore, Ruskin’s mythopoeia of the sun indicates the complexity of the Victorian cultural and social contexts. The modern questions such as self and other, and problems of gender identity are embedded in such complex features of Ruskin’s mythology. The fundamental paradox of Ruskin’s mythology is seemingly chaotic, but synthetic. Ruskin’s exploration of myth as regards arts and nature presents a Hegelian synthesis that is drawn equally from tendencies of retrospection towards to a prehistoric mode of life and the futuristic move open to idea of the progress of human beings.
