Background: About two thirds of cirrhotic patients who are admitted to the hospital accompany ascites. We have little knowledge of appropriate markers to predict the response to diuretic therapy. The objectives of this study is to evaluate whether Doppler parameters of portal hemodynamics can predict the change of ascites after administration of diuretics. Methods: Among 496 subjects who took ultrasonography (USG) and Doppler previously, patients who had antiviral treatment and incomplete laboratory data were excluded. Total 114 patients whose ascites was observed in USG were included in the analysis. Theywere classifi ed into 2 groups; improved group consisted of 58 patients who had ascites initially and improved during follow-up period, and 56 patients in non-improved group didn`t get the improvement of their ascites. We compared between improved group and non-improved group by Doppler parameters and clinical parameters. Results: When comparing group non-improved to improved group, univariate logistic regression analysis showed the diameter of hepatic vein (OR, 0.555; 95% CI, 0.380- 0. 811; p=0.002), damping index (OR, 5.091; 95% CI, 1.251-20.723 ; p=0.023) were statistically significant. When adjusted by Child-Pugh class, multivariable analysis identified that the diameter of hepatic vein (OR, 0.582; 95% CI, 0.389-0.869 ; p=0.008) were statistically signifi cant again, though the damping index was higher in non-improved patients than improved patients, but not statistically signifi cant (OR, 3.264; 95% CI, 0.751-14.19 ; p=0.115). Conclusions: The greater diameter of hepatic vein and the lower damping index are associated with the improvement of ascites in cirrhotic patients after taking diuretics.

On Being Fashionably Incorrect: Woman’s Film, Fashion, and Stella Dallas

( Boosung Kim ) 한국영미문학페미니즘학회 2018 영미문학페미니즘 Vol.26 No.3

Despite the Wall Street crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed, the decade of the 1930s in America was an unprecedentedly productive time for Hollywood, and the woman’s film, which depicts the life of an adult female protagonist and is designed to appeal mostly to female spectators, was one of the flourishing genres that survived the Great Depression. While scholars have viewed classical Hollywood cinema as an ideological apparatus, representing dominant ways of seeing the world and reinforcing hegemonic views, this essay proposes Hollywood films as a version of modernism that is not exclusive, arcane, and anti-modern, but inclusive, mass-produced, and highly susceptible to the experience of modernity. Drawing on Miriam Hansen’s notion of vernacular modernism marked by texts’ susceptibility to reflect and confront the constitutive ambivalence of modernity, this essay focuses on the woman’s film and fashion in tandem and examines how in the woman’s film fashion is represented through the female protagonists’ costumes and circulated in the form of a discourse. This essay argues that the woman’s film of the 1930s tends to associate the heroine’s experiences of modernity involving fashion and glamour with the themes of class rise and acquiring manners, and that in case of maternal melodrama, as manifested in King Vidor’s 1937 film Stella Dallas, the pattern is inverted. That is, the heroine’s sartorial practices do not necessarily lead to her class rise, but bespeaks her subversive individuality immune from ideological views on fashion.

“Continuous Performance”: Silent Film and Plebeian Spectatorship in Dorothy Richardson’s Film Writing, 1927-1933

( Boosung Kim ) 한국영어영문학회 2019 영어 영문학 Vol.65 No.1

The advent of cinema at the dawn of the twentieth century profoundly ruptured the nineteenth-century notion of spectatorship as a constituent of bourgeois male subjectivity by allowing marginalized social groups such as working-class women, child vagrants, and rural people to have access to a new public sphere. This paper focuses on the British modernist writer Dorothy Richardson’s film writing, which appeared in the avant-garde literary magazine Close Up (1927-1933), to show how the silent cinema spectatorship in the 1920s challenged gendered, class-bound notions of spectatorship. In particular, this paper explores the representation of spec-tatorial practices in her film writing and the ramifications of a particular mode of perception she valorizes: contemplation. Throughout the column she wrote for Close Up, Richardson, writing from the perspective of one of the spectators seated in a movie theatre, committed herself to theorizing spectator subjectivity in the early sound era. By taking up a position similar to that of the nineteenth-century male urban investigator, Richardson revises the dominant imaginative mappings of London through her discussion of the spaces of the movie theaters and the demographic makeup of the cinema audience. Challenging dominant views on cinematic perception, Richardson associates absorptive, contemplative modes of perception with plebeian spectatorship to highlight the cinema’s therapeutic, emancipatory function for the underprivileged. Richardson also contends that silent films, when accompanied by simple piano music and performed in a small, garage-like movie theater, should be the norm to secure and nurture contemplation.

Otherness, Sexuality, and Space: Affiliations between Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway and Eudora Welty’s The Golden Apples

( Boosung Kim ) 한국영미문학페미니즘학회 2018 영미문학페미니즘 Vol.26 No.1

While the influence of Virginia Woolf’s writing on Eudora Welty’s fiction has been touched upon briefly, and occasionally fully examined, by several critics, no critical attention has been drawn to the two writers’ highly similar creation of outsider characters. This essay proposes that Welty’s portrayal of Miss Eckhart in her short story cycle The Golden Apples (1949) can be read as a response to Woolf’s depiction of Miss Kilman in Mrs Dalloway (1925). Both characters are depicted as German spinster tutors who have an intense homoerotic desire for their pupils and are ostracized by society. Against the backdrop of the early 1920s, both texts let us take a glance at how an interwar society marginalizes an outsider in tandem with the rise of anti-German sentiment in England and the United States. Particularly, by comparing the two characters’ outsiderness marked by their class, gender, sexuality, physicality, and ethnicity/nationality, this essay attempts to show how the two writers’ treatment of them helps us configure the ways in which space intervenes in the (re)production of individual identities. While Miss Kilman’s shopping excursion designates her as a lesbian flaneur and epitomizes the department store’s function as a heterosexing, pseudo-public space, Miss Eckhart’s piano recital represents her agency as an artist who works to transform domestic space into an alternative public sphere for children and women in a small town in rural Mississippi. A kinship between Woolf and Welty established through their similar characters encourages us not only to interrogate the position of outsiderness predicated upon the dialectics between difference and sameness, but to problematize normative, exclusive, and heterogeneous locales functioning in society.

The Uncanny, Normalcy, and the EnLIGHTenment: Reversing the Hegemony of Vision in H. G. Wells’s “The Country of the Blind”

( Boosung Kim ) 한국근대영미소설학회 2018 근대 영미소설 Vol.25 No.1

H. G. Wells’s 1904 story “The Country of the Blind,” in which a Western explorer happens upon a village in an isolated valley where all the citizens are blind, produces multiple effects by reversing the hegemony of normalcy. Following the protagonist Nunez’s cognitive path, the reader experiences the uncanny that can be summed up as “cognitive estrangement” and “estranged familiarity.” Encountering something familiar yet strange in this otherworldly setting, the readers sense something has long been repressed in the process of constructing normalcy keeps returning. The blind townspeople’s way of treating Nunez’s eyes questions the ideas of disability in nineteenth-century Britain and suggests alternative ways of thinking about the abnormal by exposing how blindness has been conceived in society. Blindness in this story also brings the hegemony of vision to the front and functions to unravel it as Nunez’s failed project of enlightenment to educate the townspeople debunks ocularcentrism associated with the project of enlightenment in Western Europe. Depicting Nunez’s downgraded status in the valley, the story undermines vision’s firm connection with the notions pertinent to the Enlightenment such as knowledge, power, and freedom. The story encourages readers to question the hegemony of normalcy constructed in their own society and to reconcile between estrangement and familiarity.

어느 돌봄 노동자의 고백:돌봄 위기의 시대 『나를 보내지마』 읽기

김부성(Boosung Kim) 한국외국어대학교 영미연구소 2021 영미연구 Vol.53 No.-

This essay examines the way Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 novel Never Let Me Go thematizes the issue of care, a long-standing social problem that the coronavirus pandemic recently accentuates, mainly through the voice of a care worker. The first section of this essay analyzes care as both a capacity and a practice, pursued and performed by the first-person narrator Kathy, against the backdrop of neoliberalism the novel strongly hints at. The second section focuses on Hailsham’s aesthetic education, experimented by its founders Madame and Miss Emily amid the spread of the Keynesian welfare state system and the rapid development of bioscience following the Second World War, and attributes its failure to an anachronism of the Western humanist tradition, while discussing whether Hailsham’s educational model suggests ways to develop the capabilities of Hailsham students to hone their caring skills. While Ishiguro’s novel depicts a dismal world that puts the burden of care work entirely on individual clones and that implicitly forces caregivers to internalize neoliberal values, it encourages readers to actively think about such things as ambivalences of care, alternative caring kinships, public community space, sharing resources, and caring communities. When putting care at the center, Never Let Me Go can be read as a text not only pointing to the limitations of individualism based on traditional Western conceptions of humanism, but also urging us to affirm our vulnerabilities and interdependence as members of communities. 이 논문은 코로나19로 인해 국가적 차원의 문제로 부상한 돌봄의 위기 문제와 관련, 가즈오 이시구로의 2005년 소설 『나를 보내지 마』가 돌봄 노동자의 목소리를 통해 우리 사회에 만연한 돌봄의 문제를 다루는 방식을 살펴본다. 논문의 전반부에서는 1인칭 화자인 캐시가 추구하고 수행하는 역량이자 실천으로서의 돌봄을 소설 속 신자유주의적 세계관을 배경에 놓고 분석한다. 후반부에서는 2차 세계대전 이후 케인즈주의적 복지국가 체제의 확산과 생명과학 붐 속에서 헤일샴의 설립자 마담과 에밀리 선생이 학생들에게 실험한 예술교육이 전통적 서구 인본주의 교육의 시대착오성과 실패를 드러내는 가운데 돌봄 역량 양성의 방안을 제시할 수 있는지 여부에 대해 논한다. 이시구로의 소설은 돌봄 노동의 부담을 전적으로 복제인간 개개인에게 지우는 생명복제 프로그램의 폭력성뿐만 아니라 돌봄 노동자가 신자유주의적 가치관을 내면화하는 양상을 보여준다. 그러나 여기서 그치지 않고 돌봄의 양면성, 대안적 돌봄 친족, 공공 공간과 공유 자원, 나아가 돌보는 공동체에 대해 사유할 여지를 남긴다. 돌봄을 중심에 놓고 읽을 때 『나를 보내지 마』는 서구의 전통적 인본주의 개념으로서의 개인이 지닌 돌봄 주체로서의 한계를 지적할 뿐만 아니라, 육체의 취약성과 생명체 간 상호의존성, 상호연결성을 긍정하는 돌봄 공동체의 일원으로 세상을 바라볼 것을 촉구하는 텍스트, 즉 돌봄에 대한 상상력을 확장하는 텍스트로 읽을 수 있다.
