This paper aims to examine how William Wordsworth, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Charles Dickens present cities in their works. It argues that the writers criticized their city-based contemporary civilization and searched for community values to sustain human unity in an industrial society. The three writers, this paper suggests, evaluated the city-based civilization with their shaping vision and thereby guide us into a direction that the restoration of human unity depends on how an ideal community is planted in a city. William Wordsworth sees London as a capitalistic city which commodifies human dwellers. What Wordsworth discovers in London is the world of a phantasm which alienates its dwellers. It not only signals the emergence of a new civilization. It also indicates the impoverishment of rural communities and the loss of self-identity. Wordsworth pays much attention to the country life for an alternative community, but his preference for that community results from his desire for internalizing socio-political conflicts in the city. In The Blithedale Romance, Hawthorne makes an experiment on a new mode of life, which supposedly substitutes for the industrialism-oriented city life. The experiment fails, however, for the characters' ego-centric desires conflict with one another and the realistic or outer conditions of life interfere with the actual life of the community. The failure of the experimental life is interconnected with Hawthorne's essential skepticism permeating his world view, rather than he could not foresee industrial depredation. Anyway, Hawthorne does not intend to continue his experiment in his contemporary city life although his experimental spirit is influential enough to form the view of nature of later thinkers and writers. Dickens created the Victorian London that we know today. Through his imaginative work, we clearly understand how deeply the newly-emerging industrial society affected people and changed human life in general. The city-dwellers of all social classes were living their lives as if, both literally and figuratively, “living in death.” Dickens seeks for a fundamental solution to the problems within the city and suggests that we should restore the warmth of home and familial relationships to society as well as to individuals. < Chungnam·Chodang·Chungnam National University >

EU의 배기가스규제가 국내 자동차산업에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 : EURO-5를 중심으로

최동오(Dong-Oh Choi) 한국국제상학회 2010 國際商學 Vol.25 No.4

The EU, which recently became Korea’s second biggest trading partner, maintains the world’s highest standards for environmental protection. The EU demands that imported products also satisfy these standards - including REACH, a regulation on chemicals and EURO-2-6, a regulation on automobile emissions. These standards have had a great influence on a major export industry in Korea, the automobile industry. This study suggests effective countermeasures for Korean industries by examining Korea’s environmental regulations for a major export item, automobiles. Examples of such countermeasures include the development of environment friendly auto engines, expansion of environment-friendly projects, development of green energy automobiles, environment related regulations and trade policies, establishment of an environment information system, and the expansion of the environment related market. The most important issue is the establishment of strategies through cooperation between the government and private companies.

낭만시와 박물학적 상상력

최동오 ( Dong Oh Choi ) 충남대학교 인문과학연구소 2011 인문학연구 Vol.38 No.2

This paper explores that Romantic concerns with nature appeared with broad interests in contemporary natural history and wants to show that Romantic poets could not be free from such circumstances. It also attempts to prove that Romantic ecocriticism originated from Romantic natural history. Romantic natural history showed a paradigm shift from the Classical age. It included various life and earth sciences and opened up "a new field visibility." The natural environment and its entities became the main subject for diverse discursive practices. Romantic natural history emerged as the dominant science of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by colonial expansion. It made the colonial world and its natures the objects for its insightful exploration. What Romantics found through natural history practices is the biological interaction of all living things toward an organic whole. William Blake`s "The Tyger" and "A Poison Tree" imply that the poet knew what natural history found. He stressed in the poems the interconnectedness of natural objects and their balance with humankind. Percy Shelley`s "The Sensitive Plant" and "Ode to the West Wind" showed that he was familiar with the contemporary natural history. The poems emphasized an organic model of animal species and plants, suggesting the correspondence between humans and the natural world.

물류네트워크 구축을 통한 전남권 항만물류 활성화 방안

최동오(Dong-Oh Choi) 한국항만경제학회 2008 韓國港灣經濟學會誌 Vol.24 No.1

본 논문은 점차 국제경쟁력을 갖추어 가고 있는 광양항을 전남지역의 국제물류거점으로 하여 전남권의 목포항, 여수항, 완도항, 등의 항만물류, 무안국제공항의 항공물류, 그리고 장성의 복합화물터미널인 내륙화물기지의 연계를 통하여 효과적인 물류네트워크를 구축하여 이를 통해 전남지역의 물류산업을 활성화 방안을 살펴보았다. 전남의 물류거점인 광양항, 장성복합화물터미널, 목포항, 무안국제공항을 연계하여 체계적인 지역혁신계획을 수립하여 지역혁신주체 및 산업혁신의 역량을 강화하고 지역산업을 활성화하는 방안을 모색하여 전남 U-물류체계 구축을 위한 RFID/USN 기반의 종합물류관리시스템을 구축하여야 한다. 또한 3각 물류거점인을 연계하는 교통망의 추진과 관련하여 광주시내 및 인근에 산재해 있는 중소형 수출입 물류거점을 조기통합추진이 필요하며 국제공항인 무안공항을 중심공항으로 육성하기 위한 방안을 설정하고 항공화물 처리를 위한 화물터미널의 기능을 강화하여야 한다. This paper outlines a plan to promote South Jeonnam region’s logistics capability in connection with the regional logistics bases such as Gwangyang Port, Jangseong Integrated Freight Terminal, Mokpo Port and Muan International Airport. The capability of regional innovation bodies, and industrial innovation generally, needs to be improved by establishing a systematic regional innovation plan. Smaller import and export logistics bases, presently scattered in downtown Gwangju and its suburban area, need to be integrated as soon as possible, in advance of the completion of a traffic network connecting all of the triangle logistics bases. Moreover, plans to develop Muan International Airport to the status of a hub airport need to be established, and its function as an air freight terminal should be strengthened. Gwangyang Port and Mokpo Port should be developed as Korea’s key harbors with international logistics bases the two ports, presently conducting simple cargo work, should be transformed into general logistics ports conducting logistics, assembling, trading, and international business by developing their surrounding areas.

셰이머스 히니 : 생태적 읽기의 (불)가능성

최동오(Dong-oh Choi) 문학과환경학회 2015 문학과 환경 Vol.14 No.2

This paper explores how Seamus Heaney can be read from an ecocritical perspective, and it also points out that such an ecocritical reading would be problematic. Terry Gifford and Greg Garrard have already posited Heaney as an ecological poet from their own respective critical view. Gifford stresses that Heaney constructs the unity with the natural world, while Garrard maintains that the poet’s representation depends on the poetics of dwelling. Seamus Heaney presents his belief in the unity with the natural world. Some of his poems focus on the places familiar to his earlier days. The poet finds the interconnection between his use of language and the natural landscape by paying attention to the naming of the places. Heaney also describes the poetics of how to dwell. He equates his bog land with Ireland, and thereby the poet discovers that the history of nature cannot be separated from that of culture, reminding the reader of the bloody history of the Nothern Ireland retrieved from his archaeological imagination. Heaney could be evaluated as an ecological poet, but his seemingly ecological poetics has an problematic in that it tends to mystify the natural landscape and displaces it with a “lyric job” in which the inhuman is repeatedly effaced.

“마음의 생태학”

최동오(Choi, Dong-Oh) 문학과환경학회 2016 문학과 환경 Vol.15 No.2

본 연구는 그레고리 베이트슨의 마음의 생태학 개념이 어떻게 린다 호건의 주술서에서 구현되고 있는지 살펴보는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 베이트슨의 마음의 생태학이라는 개념은 진화의 생존 단위를 마음의 단위와 일치시켜 자연의 역사와 마음의 역사 사이에 친연성이 있다고 주장한다. 호건은 인간과 동물을 공진화의 역사적 시각에서 관찰하며 미국 원주민의 생존의 역사를 진화적 시간의 맥락에 위치시킨다. 시인은 굶주림의 은유를 통해 원주민들이 마주했던 역경의 역사를 재현하고 그들의 생물학적 진화의 역사를 좇아 기원의 세계를 상상한다. 호건에게 변형은 자연 세계와 인간의 세계를 연결하는 가장 오래된 의식 주제이다. 그것은 인간의 언어가 인간세계를 자연 환경으로부터 분리시키는 것에 의해 생물계에 억압의 폭력 행위로 기능하고 있다는 알려준다. 위험에 처한 자연 세계를 보호해서 부양하는 배려자로서, 호건은 독자를 자연과 신체적으로 교감할 수 있는 경험을 염원할 수 있도록 원주민들의 신화의 세계로 인도한다. 린다 호건의 마음의 생태학은 차별과 폭력으로 위협받는 원주민 세계를 치유하고 자연 세계를 보호하는 공동체 정신을 기반으로 한 생태적 지혜를 획득한다. This paper explores how Linda Hogan’s The Book of Medicines presents what Gregory Bateson called “an Ecology of Mind,” which identifies the unit of evolutionary survival with the unit of mind. Hogan sees human beings and animals in an collaborative evolution and describes the history of native American people along with the passage of evolutionary time. She uses the metaphor of hunger to represent their hard times in history and yearns for the time of origins by tracking down the history of their biological evolution. For the poet, transformation is the oldest ceremonial theme that connects humans with the natural world. It reveals that human language functions as a restraining violence to the biosphere and thereby separates humans from the natural world. As a caretaker to protect and to nurse the threatened natural world, Hogan leads readers to the place of mythical time where they can capture a yearning to experience bodily ties to nature. Linda Hogan’s ecology of mind achieves an ecological wisdom that is regarded as a communal spirit to guard the natural world as well as to heal the human world threatened by discrimination and violence.
