Romance와 Fairy Tale : Henry James의 初期作品 Henry James's Earlier Fictions

尹基漢 충남대학교 미국학연구소 1977 美國學論文集 Vol.2 No.-

In spite of many critics' favor there is no "real" Henry James. He might, therefore, be called the "other Henry James", in a sense, a very different figure established in the United States, because a large number of his works are merely a pile of picturesque peasantry of James's earlier nostalgic fantasies. James's chosen area of art was very artificial and fanciful in his earlier career of literary apprenticeship. James began to publish his stories of romance and fairy tale with "A Tragedy of Error," which seems a very immature mysterious romance. Almost of his earlier fictions shown up in The Atlantic Monthly tell us that the range of James's work is norrow; most typically a combination of sentimental romance and of fanciful melodrama. James preferred the early nineteenth century English scene, while his portraying of New England village was famous for its sterility and impotence. He appparently had a desire for the great and glorious tradition and culture of the Old Continent, the Europe, and, on the other hand, he accordingly failed to make compromise with the lack of history and intelligence of the New(Brave) World, the America. Such an intense emotional conflict as he had from his boyhood about Europe and America might have force him to write the stories whose main themes are focussed on the international situtation.

Look Homeward, Angel : Two Roofs and No Home

Pak, Yong Ui 충남대학교 미국학연구소 1977 美國學論文集 Vol.2 No.-

Look Homeward, Angel의 主人公 Eugene는 R. W. B Lewis 교수가 말하는 美國文學의 傳統的 Adamic hero에 속한다. 따라서 Look Homeward, Angel를 단순히 Wolfe 자신의 自敍傳的 小說로 보는 것은 옳지 못하다고 본다. Wolfe 자신도 美國 國民을 "a nomadie race"라 말한 바 있으며, Wolfe 는 이러한 美國人의 國民性에 관한 巨大한 敍事詩的 作品을 構想한 바 있었다. 美國文學의 가장 두드러진 특징 중의 하나는 Adamic hero에 따르는 고독과 소외감이며. 이는 광활한 新天地에 있어서 American Adam이 지닌 宿命같기도 하다. The virgin land의 新大陸은 일찌기 Pilgrims Fathers가 꿈꾸었던 것과 같은 至善과 理想에 對한 無限한 可能性을 상징하는 동시에 이의 풍부한 自然自源은 物質的 誘惑이라는 二律背反的 要素를 지니고 있었다. 이러한 二律背反的 要素는 美國文學에 있어서의 naive idealism과 crude materialism을 說明해 주기도 한다. 이상과 같은 美國文學의 一部 特徵을 살펴볼 때, Look Homeward, Angel는 美國文學의 傳統的 Adamic hero의 作品이라는 것이 더욱 分明해진다. Eliza에게서 困難한 처지에 일로 姙産婦에게 돈을 주어 보내는 人情이 있고, Gant에도 아들 Ben의 시체를 옆에 두고 장례비 걱정만을 늘어놓는 인색한 非情이 있기는 하나, 作品 全體를 통해 볼 때 Elza는 物質主義를, Gant는 막연하나마 永遠한 世界에 對한 憶景의 상징으로 취급고 있다. 이러한 異質的 性格의 結合에 對한 不幸의 象徵的 結果는 쌍동이 형제인 Grover와 Ben의 죽음으로 나타났고, Eugene은 진정으로 그를 아껴주고 理解해주던 Ben이 죽자 집을 등지고 Adam 이전의 永遠한 일어버린 세계를 찾아 자기 탐구의 길에 오른다. 그리고 이는 또 Wolfe에 있어 그의 獨特한 文體를 통한 예술의 형태도 나타나고 있다. 따라서 Look Homeward, Angel의 올바른 理解를 위해선 美國文學의 Adamic tradition과 이들 主人公들의 고독과 a sense of alienation에 대한 理解가 필요하다고 생각한다.

ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSIGHITS INTO HUMAN BEHAVIOR : Culture: Universality vs. Variability

Greenberg, Norman C. 충남대학교 미국학연구소 1982 美國學論文集 Vol.4 No.-

Having begun with the concept of culture it seems appropriate to summarize with a statement about society. If humans live by cultural norms, they also live in a society. And this living in society dictates what must be a part of the individual's and group's culture. Society may be defined as the community of persons who share a culture and feel themselves in some way to be a unit. Though the terms culture and society are often used interchangeably, they refer to different aspects: culture is the way of acting, the bony of tradition, the learned behavior of a society; a society is the body of personnel, who interact with one another in a regular manner and who share a culture that sets this mode of interaction. Every society operates within a set of conditions, determined basically by the physical environment in which it exists and the technical knowledge it has at its command with which to cope with the environment. This ecological setting places further demands on the society; that is, places limitations on the way in which the society operates. The cultural setting influences human behavior. Where a tribe live shunting and food gathering in an extremely poor environment, foodsharing institutions are necessary. Among the Andaman Islanders there is such a strong emphasis on generosity that no man would fail to give away the large and better part of the dugong he has killed. Among the Arunta of Australia there is no value placed upon generosity but, customary to their law, a person is simply expected to give certain portions of a successful hunt to particular relatives. On the other hand, societies with large populations can ignore their starving citizens if it is within their ethical to do so. The Eskimos, the Bushmen of the Kalhari, the native Australians, or others who live in exceedingly bleak environments where it is necessary to be constantly on the move in search of food, practice infanticide . In the past there were no alternatives. It is not fair to limit such examples to primitive circumstances. Where political states have come into being, they have certain general features which appear to be necessary for the maintenance of a political system. Among preliterate people, and often among people with writing, nations are given legitimacy by religious institutions and the belief that the ruler has a special relation to the gods which legitimatizes that rule. The ruler also has an army to enforce decisions. Only after political systems are firmly established does it appear that they can forego the former of these organizational devices, while apparently they can never entirely escape the latter. In modern industrial society we find the additional need for elaborate training institutions to develop and maintain the complex equipment of its highly technical economy. Despite the different demands of various economic conditions and social circumstances, despite the great variety of cultural forms that are found throughout the world, there is nevertheless a common core of cultural uniformity. To what degree human behavior must be viewed asa product of basic human physiological and psychological needs; to what degree they are the product of the fact of social existence and the requirements of social life, and to what degree they stem from the common core of human history, is a matter not yet fully known. They do however, suggest the basic unity of humankind.

Values of the American Family System in Transition

Drabick, Lawrence W. 충남대학교 미국학연구소 1978 美國學論文集 Vol.3 No.-

I have been requested to discuss the values of the American family system in a transition. I have interpreted that subject rather widely, presuming it to refer not only to values resident within the family, but also those which reside in the society. Likewise, I have chosen to discuss variances in external values which have been creative of change within the family, as well as to consider alterations of family values which subsequently have altered the nature of the family system.
