안중은(Joong-Eun Ahn) 한국영미어문학회 2019 영미어문학 Vol.- No.135

In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the British and American Language and Literature Association of Korea (BALLAK), this paper is specially designed to explore the 60 years’ history of the society. The English Literary Society of Taegu was established on December 16, 1959, and the first volume of Taegu Review featuring four articles was issued in 1960. The fifth volume of Taegu Review composed of 11 articles was published in 1964 in honor of the 60th birthday of the late professor Wonam Lee Kyu Tong the first president of the society. The 34th volume appeared in 1983 for the celebration of the 60th birthday of the late professor Bongwun Kim Tae Han the president of the society. The BALLAK’s history might be divided into three phases: 1) the beginning period (1959-1972); 2) the growing period (1973-1995); 3) the developing period (1996-present). In the beginning period Taegu Review was published annually, in the growing period the journal was published biannually or triannually, and in the developing period it was published mostly quarterly and once bimonthly in 2013. The title of the English Literary Society of Taegu changed itself into the English Language and Literature Association of Taegu and Kyungpuk in 1992 and then finally into the British and American Language and Literature Association of Korea in 1996. In the meantime, the title of the journal Taegu Review was changed into Studies in British and American Language and Literature in 1996, when it began to develop from the regional journal towards the national one with the financial assistance from the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). The 131th volume of Studies in British and American Language and Literature issued on December 31, 2018 boasts itself on the most numbered 22 articles in the publication history of the journal. I sincerely hope that the past 60 years’ history of the BALLAK firmly constructed upon the painstaking endeavors and incessant cooperative scholarship of our predecessors and contemporary scholars will surely illuminate the way to international conferences or journals for future generations of our society.

This study aims to show the trends of studies in English linguistics in Korean for the last six decades. We reviewed and analyzed the 220 linguistic articles published in Studies in British and American Language and Literature since 1960. First of all, it was found that linguistic research has been developed in quality as well as quantity in Korea. In the early period, Korean scholars adopted and introduced the data and the theories that western scholars already worked on. Later, they tested various theoretical frames on English and Korean data and began to conduct their own unique studies in linguistics. The topics have been elaborated into the details of language and additionally, empirical evidence has been embraced to guarantee the replicability as scientific studies. Lastly, linguistic studies in Korea have attempted to keep up with the trends in other academic fields and the society.

한국 영미소설 연구의 동향 검토: 『영미어문학』을 중심으로

이향미 한국영미어문학회 2020 영미어문학 Vol.- No.137

This study reviews English novel studies in Korea for the past 60 years, to examine the ways in which English novel studies in Korea have developed and further contribute to the future of English scholarship in Korea. Since reflecting on all the English novel studies in Korea is immense, this study focuses on articles published in Studies in British and American Language and Literature from 1960 to 2019. Organizing the articles by decades, this review attempts to indicate the notable features of each decade and shows who was researched most actively. While Henry James was researched the most by far, William Faulkner, Joseph Conrad, and Virginia Woolf were the most favorite novelists throughout the last 6 decades. Female novelists, such as Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and Virginia Woolf, were first introduced in the 1970s, which shed some light on the sharp increase in the study of female novelists for the coming years: Jane Austen topped the list in the 2000s and Toni Morrison in the 2010s. 2000s saw the most remarkable expansion in research: the number of the articles doubled and novelists from countries other than the British and American were first introduced. Korean scholarship on English novel studies has expanded not just in its number of articles, but also in its diversity.

The purpose of this study is to examine the history of the education and research of English and English literature in Daegu and the northern part of Kyungsang Province, South Korea. First, I explore how economic development in the 1960s fueled the rapid expansion of English education. With the high demand for practical English, major changes have turned out in the quality and quantity of English teaching since 1980s. This field is undergoing many changes. However, it still remains whether the increase in quantity can lead to an improvement in quality of education. Secondly, I consider how well scholars of English Literature, usually connected to universities, have been received since the foundation of the language and literature program at Daegu Teacher's College in 1946. Our focus centers on their academic interests and teaching methodologies. The roles and achievements of Kwon, Joong-whi and Kim, Seong-hyuk, pioneers of English education in this area, are especially scrutinized. Finally, the outcome of this study shows how social changes and the tendency of studies in Seoul have affected English education in this area.

페미니즘 연구에 관한 비판적 고찰: 『영미어문학』을 중심으로

하수정 한국영미어문학회 2019 영미어문학 Vol.- No.135

This paper examinies 60 years' history of Studies in British and American Language and Literature, focusing on feminist literary approaches. Emerged from the long western history of women's struggle for equal opportunties, feminism has changed literary practices as well as every aspect of human lives. Since mid-1990s when feminist studies began in Engish academic circle, there have been a lot of literary works and practices in South Korea. The explorations are now moving from 'the established gender identity' to 'differences beween women' and 'alterity,' appropriating the western feminist theoretical trend. The remaining task is how to connect Enligh literature to Korean literature through feminism, which will make literary studies meaningful to our lives.

에우리피데스의 <트로이의 여인들>에 나타난 미학과 정치학

에머슨, 멜빌, 동양 종교 사상

Emerson and Melville paid a huge amount of attention to spiritual themes, and it was known in their own time that each had a growing interest in Eastern religious thoughts. Emerson read The Bhagavad Gita. while still a student at Harvard and later coined the term "Oversoul" from his concept of the Brahman/Atman union. Melville also pursued spiritual themes in his works vigorously. Though Melville's works show despair and uncertainty, he powerfully describes expanded states of awareness brought by compassion and especially suffering. Melville has been accused of pessimism, nihilism and atheism But that is a Western response to an unfamiliar way of perceiving. Western craving for forms and definitions brings a biased view on the oriental system of thought which stresses emptiness, no soul, and the efficacy of suffering. Buddhist texts show how the dismantling of the individual ego results ultimately in compassion, expanded awareness, and joy rather than resignation. Emerson's psychological tendencies align him more closely with the Hindu way of perceiving, and Melville's works show a peculiarly Buddhist quality.

Colonialism and Neocolonialism based on Gender and Class in Ama Ata Aidoo's Our Sister Killjoy

김의락 한국영미어문학회 2012 영미어문학 Vol.- No.102

The central concerns of Aidoo's novel are the dilemma of the woman who has views of her own, and the determination not to dissociate the personal and the political. This aspect of Aidoo's text clearly echoes the warnings of Frantz Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth that decolonization would not lead to liberation for the African people if this process merely involved the replacement of a ruling colonial white bourgeoisie by a new postcolonial black bourgeoisie with basically the same values. "Into a Bad Dream" is set in Ghana and details Sissie's pre- paration to leave for Germany. This section immediately introduces many of the important issues of the book, particularly the problem of ongoing neocolonial domination of Africa by Europe. Intellectuals believe that the only road to progress in Africa is the European road, based on the concepts of "universal truth, universal art, universal literature and the Gross National Product." The narrator calls such intellectuals "dogs" whose masters are in the West, making clear her disdain for their Eurocentric modes of thought. "The Plums" is set in Germany and details Sissie's reaction to German culture and her relationship with Marija, a lonely German housewife. "From Our Sister Killjoy" describes Sissie's stopover in England and her meetings with African expatriates, including her own lover, living there. The last section, "A Love Letter," consists primarily of Sissie's farewell letter to this lover, written aboard the plane on her way back to Ghana. Together, these sections allow Aidoo to present the impact on Sissie's consciousness of a number of crucial issues relating to colonialism, neocolonial- ism, and gender.
