Helen Maria Williams’s Love of England in A Farewell, for Two Years, to England

( Kim¸ Jihee ) 한국현대영어영문학회 2021 현대영어영문학 Vol.65 No.3

After publishing her Letters Written in France (1790), Helen Maria Williams planned to travel to France again, for two years. Given the timing of her proposed trip, in a period when England had increasing concerns about, and was generally hostile to, the situation in France, she would have been keenly aware of the risks involved in a two-year trip there. Coupled with her support for the French Revolution, her long stay in France would have increased suspicions about her loyalty to England. This essay argues that Williams uses her poem A Farewell, for Two Years, to England (1791) to demonstrate her love of England and, at the same time, to defend herself against the criticisms of her sympathy for French liberty. This essay examines what makes Williams compose a poem before her trip to France by describing the changing social context of that period. By exploring Anna Seward’s shifting responses to the events in France and studying a review in the Gentleman’s Magazine of Letters, this paper reveals the criticisms that Williams would have faced. It then examines her strategies to demonstrate her loyalty to England and, at the same time, to present her support of French liberty in the poem. (Dongguk University)

Female Victims of the Terror in Williams’s Fifth Volume of Letters

( Kim¸ Jihee ) 동국대학교 영어권문화연구소 2021 영어권문화연구 Vol.14 No.2

This paper discusses the ways in which Helen Maria Williams represents female victims to criticise the Reign of Terror in her fifth volume of Letters. In accordance with the decree by the French National Convention, she was imprisoned for two months between October and November 1793 and was released in late November. To avoid another arrest for her connection with the Girondins, she departed to Switzerland in June 1794. In this volume, she narrates what she has been through during the Terror, representing herself as a victim of the Terror. Her accounts of arrest and exile vividly present her feelings when she was taken from her domestic space and forced apart from her family. As a survivor of the Terror, she also tells stories of other victims: Charlotte Corday and Madame Roland, who were guillotined. These women were accused of lacking femininity and abandoning their domestic roles. To rebut the accusations against them, Williams provides different representations of them using several sources, including her first-hand accounts and Roland’s own testimony. Through the stories of the female victims, Williams uses the fifth volume of Letters as evidence of the oppression of the Terror.

An affair of the heart: Sensibility, Revolution, Gender in Letters Written in France

( Kim¸ Ji Hee ) 동국대학교 영어권문화연구소 2014 영어권문화연구 Vol.7 No.2

Helen Maria Williams, one of the early romantic women writers, was a controversial figure of her age on the account of her being pro-French Revolution. Her support for the French Revolution is well expressed in Letters from France which were published in eight volumes between 1790 and 1796. Among them, I will focus on the first of volume of the Letters. This paper will explore why Williams used sensibility in her Letters (1790) and how she shows the sensibility with the political point of views in the epistolary form and the Memoir of Mos. and Madam Duf ―. Sensibility in Letters seems to be one of the ways to avoid critical remarks about female political prose. Williams would also use sensibility in Letters to accept her idea easily. In addition, the epistolary form assists Williams in expressing her political point of views with sensibility well in Letters and allows her to express her feelings freely and frankly. She can effectively persuade readers to sympathise with her feelings in the epistolary form. The other strategy enables Williams to show her sensibility with the political standpoint is the Memoir of Mons And Madam Duf - in later chapters of the Letters. The memoir is seemingly the love story but there is the contrast between the despotic government and the new government and the process of the revolution behind the romantic story. It is a sentimental story for covering Williams' political voice well. Williams's sentimental strategy looked to be a huge success before the revolution became violent. She expressed her political points of view with sensibility which could be the bulwark of her defence.

Wealth had done wonder-taste not much : Fascination and Denigration of the East in Don Juan (Canto V)

( Kim¸ Ji Hee ) 동국대학교 영어권문화연구소 2014 영어권문화연구 Vol.7 No.1

Byron was different from most of his fellow contemporary writers who wrote about the East because his writings were not totally dependent on his imagination or written texts. He experienced Eastern culture first hand and had several different perspectives of the East. However, like other writers, Byron was still unable to free himself from Western point of views. This paper explores Byron's fascination with the East and the limitation of his perspective. The Seraglio in Don Juan was portrayed in detail as a magnificent and luxurious place. He simultaneously described the people who Juan met in the Seraglio. Byron also located a man in the harem as a slave and took everything Juan had. Juan, having been subordinated, was in an unusual position for a European. However, he could not go beyond the bounds of European convention in Don Juan. The description of Eastern places implies an awareness of superiority of Western culture. It seems to focus on material abundance although the palace was portrayed in detail. Byron described Oriental characters as negative and simple. There is an enlightenment mechanism to one of the characters in Don Juan, Gulbeyaz. Even though Byron had Eurocentric values, he clearly possessed a more positive attitude toward the East. His ambivalent attitude toward the East would be a great topic to further explore in researching Orientalism.

본 연구는 한국산 도롱뇽 유생(Hynobius leechii)을 대상으로 포식압의 수준이 카니발리즘적 폴리페니즘에 영향을 미치는 지 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 버들치의 냄새를 포식자 신호로 이용하여 (1) 높은 포식압- 하루 세 번의 포식압 (2) 중 간 포식압- 하루 한 번의 포식압 (3) 포식압 없음 세 그룹으로 나누어 채집일로부터 부화 후 일주일까지 처리하였다. 먹 이섭취로 인한 형태적 변화를 막기 위하여 실험은 기아상태에서 진행되었으며, 도롱뇽 유생은 경기도 광주, 인왕산, 수락 산에서 채집된 난괴를 이용하였다. 포식압 처리 이후 도롱뇽 유생의 머리 중 가장 넓은 곳의 길이(LHW), 눈이 있는 부분 의 머리길이(HWE). 그리고 코 끝부터 항문(SVL)까지의 길이를 측정하였다. 카니발리즘적 폴리페니즘의 측정은 HWE를 LHW로 나눈 수치(HWE/LHW)를 이용하여 통계처리를 하였고, 그 결과 포식압 수준이 증가함에 따라 HWE/LHW와 SVL 이 유의미하게 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 각 포압에 따른 사망률을 조사하여 본 결과 포식압 수준에 따른 증가 를 보여, 카니발리즘적 폴리페니즘은 매우 에너지 소모적인 것으로 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 도롱뇽유생은 한 정적 자원을 가진 환경에서 포식압에 의하여 카니발리즘을 일으키기 유리한 형태로 변화할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다

[FCT 8] The efficacy of acellular dermal matrices in scar revision surgery: experimental and clinical study

( Jihee Kim ),( Young In Lee ),( Won Jai Lee ),( Ju Hee Lee ) 대한피부과학회 2017 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.69 No.1

We hypothesized that acellular dermal matrix (ADM) graft along with scar revision may act as a dermal regeneration substitute, and it will improve skin color, texture, humidification, and elasticity. We implanted acellular dermal matrix in subcutaneous layer of incision area during scar revision surgery for the successful treatment of various scars. In clinical study, we excised scar tissue measuring length and width of the scar (n=22), implanted the ADM underneath and closed the defect with appropriate approximation. Functional skin values of scar revision area and adjacent normal skin were evaluated in terms of skin elasticity, humidification, transepidermal water loss, and color. Also, patient satisfaction was assessed at postoperative 6 months with visual analog scale in terms of cosmetic satisfaction, pain or itching sensation and scar hardness. Patient`s survey revealed that patients were satisfied with the postoperative results showing 7.8 ± 1.1 of overall VAS score in all factors. Humidification of scar indicated that the score was 1.03 ± 0.3 (scar site per adjacent normal skin) at preoperative period and 1.52 ± 0.95 at 6 months. ADM could be adequate for use as a tissue remodeling substitute, and scar revision technique using ADM implantation is satisfactory in terms of high patient satisfaction and significantly improved humidification.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus purification using low-speed centrifugation

Jihee Kim,Jung-Eun Park 한국예방수의학회 2020 예방수의학회지 Vol.44 No.1

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a porcine coronavirus that causes enteric diseases characterized by watery diarrhea and dehydration in suckling piglets. Concentrated and highly purified viruses are required for the preparation of vaccines, diagnostics, and virus research. Currently, most protocols for virus purification require ultracentrifugation, which can be an instrumental barrier to routine operations in a laboratory. In this study, the efficacy of low-speed centrifugation for virus concentration was examined. The SM98 strain of PEDV was propagated in Vero cells and pelleted by centrifugation for 3 h at high speed (100,000 × g) or for 18 h at low speed (10,000 × g). The efficacy of virus concentration was analyzed by virus titration and western blotting. The amounts of infectious viruses and viral proteins in the pelleted samples obtained by low-speed centrifugation were comparable to those obtained by high-speed centrifugation. Interestingly, the pelleted sample impurity level was lower in low-speed than in high-speed centrifugation. In summary, we describe an efficient, easy-to-perform protocol for the preparation of purified and concentrated PEDV.
