Edward Young’s Night Thoughts IX: A Reworking of Spinoza and Locke in Perceptions of Divinity

Yu Jie-ae 한국문학과종교학회 2020 문학과종교 Vol.25 No.4

본 논문은 에드워드 영이 『밤의 명상 제 9편』(1745)에서 스피노자와 로크의 사상을 토대로 하여 시적 화자가 자연 세계에 내재하는 신의 존재를 인식해 가는 과정을 다루고 있음을 보여준다. 감수성의 시대에 살았던 에드워드 영은 이 작품을 통하여 당대의 그 어느 작가보다도 자연 속에 드러나는 신성성에 대한 인간 내면의 경험을 진지하고도 깊이 있게 다루고 있다. 그는 그동안 문학 비평 가들이 간과해온 스피노자와 로크의 사상을 효과적으로 활용하고 있으며, 이는 시적 화자가 추상적이고 심오한 종교 문제를 등한시하며 덧없는 이 세상의 가치를 추구하는, 당대의 지성인을 대표하는 로렌조로 하여금 신성에 대한 인식을 갖도록 역설하는데 중요한 바탕이 된다. 이러한 시적 화자의 의도는 송시(ode) 라는 역동적인 시의 형식을 통하여 효율적으로 전달되고 있다. 이와 같은 시의 형태와 더불어 작가는 두 사상가의 이론을 작품에 반영함으로써 불멸의 자연에 드러나는 신의 존재를 인간은 사유할 수 있다는 점을 강조하고 있다. 아울러 에드워드 영은 현실 중심적이고 계산적인 인간의 이성 이외에 신성성을 인지하는 내면의 주관적 경험을 표현함으로써 낭만주의 시의 전초를 알려주고 있다. This article examines how Edward Young’s Night Thoughts IX reshapes the key concepts of Baruch Spinoza and John Locke while deploying the speaker’s perceptions of the Almighty in human domains. At the age of sensibility, it was Young among his contemporary writers, who seriously utilizes, in his contemplative ode, divine experiences of external circumstances. His reworking of the two philosophers enables the speaker to effectively deliver his spiritual awareness of divinity to Lorenzo, who is a contemporary iconic figure ignoring immaterial revelations in the surrounding world. The essay scrutinizes how Young’s allusion to Spinoza and Locke contributes to enhancing the capability of one’s mind to realize the diverse manifestations of deity in permanent natural landscapes.

Cooking, Textural, Sensorial, and Antioxidant Properties of Common and Tartary Buckwheat Noodles

Yu Jie Ma,Xu Dan Guo,Hang Liu,Bian Na Xu,Min Wang 한국식품과학회 2013 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.22 No.1

Noodles made from flour of 3 common and 2tartary buckwheat cultivars were investigated into cooking,textural, sensorial, antioxidant properties, and polyphenol composition. Common buckwheat noodles possessed greater tensility, lower adhesiveness, and better sensory properties. Buckwheat noodles were found to be good sources of dietary polyphenols and tartary buckwheat noodles contained a higher level of total phenolics (182.65-221.27 mg GA eq./100 g d.w.) and flavonoids (183.33-218.69 mg rutin eq./100 g d.w.) than their counterparts (p<0.05). Tartary buckwheat noodles also showed higher antioxidant capacity measured by reducing power, DPPH radical scavenging,and ABTS•+ scavenging assay. HPLC analysis identified and quantified 12 polyphenol compounds and revealed that rutin and quercetin were the dominant phenolic compounds. Among them, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid,rutin, and quercetin were higher in tartary buckwheat noodles, while common buckwheat noodles had greater contents of chlorogenic acid. Overall, buckwheat noodles are good alternative food with high nutritional quality.

John Donne’s The Lamentations of Jeremy: Manifestations of Iniquity, Affliction, and Entreaty to God

Yu Jie-ae 한국문학과종교학회 2019 문학과종교 Vol.24 No.1

본 논문은 존 던의 작품 『제레미의 비탄』에 나타난 인간의 죄, 고난, 그리고 이에서 벗어나고자 하여 비롯된 절대자에 대한 간청이 어떻게 형상화 되고 있는가를 다룬다. 작가는 당대의 런던시에 창궐했던 역병의 위력에 영향을 받아 작품 속에서 영적인 병, 즉 신에 대해 저지른 이스라엘인들의 내적인 죄를 상세하게 그려내고 있다. 1610년대의 작품들은 주로 외적인 병폐를 다루었다면 본 작품은 인간의 내적인 부패상을 종교적인 시각에서 그려주고 있다. 그러나 이 작품은 예언자 자신의 죄의 고백과 참회, 그리고 신에게의 간절한 애원도 그려줌으로써 인간의 죄를 타인뿐만 아니라 자기 자신의 영역에까지도 깊이 있게 접근하여 상세하게 다루고 있으며 이를 연구하는 것이 본 논문의 주안점이다. This article investigates how John Donne’s The Lamentations of Jeremy links with his diverse perceptions of spiritual disease, which is initiated by his direct experiences of dreadful prevalence of the London plague. Unlike in his earlier works of the 1610s where he raises the social corruptions, Donne’s religious perspectives, situated in the historical context, divert the notion of external pollution into that of internal deteriorations via the biblical prophet Jeremy’s recognitions of the transgressive desire of man and its irresistible consequence of God’s wrath. Whereas Devotions upon Emergent Occasions X shows the author’s objective diagnosis of the origin of social infection, the Lamentations of Jeremy dramatizes the protagonist’s individual witnessing of the wrongdoings of people including himself, whereby Donne, for the first time, expands the range of tribulation into general and personal domains.

John Donne`s Devotions upon Emergent Occasions I: Corporeal Infirmity, Misery, and Subsequent Reverberation

( Jie Ae Yu ) 한국현대영어영문학회 2015 현대영어영문학 Vol.59 No.1

This article aims to investigate how the first chapter of John Donne’s Devotions upon Emergent Occasions features his unswerving contemplations into his physical enervation and its vigorous influences on the inner workings of his mind. The author establishes one of the recurrent issues throughout the whole work ― his perception of wretchedness in the midst of the bodily ordeal. He depicts the present condition of discomfort, enquiring as to where man’s unforeseen, bitter occasion would possibly originate. While dealing with this subject, Donne simultaneously draws on the imperishable spirit inherent within his mind, which enables him to sustain the afflictive aftermaths of physical weakness. He elaborates on the coherent thematic conceptions by utilizing the intertwined structural patterns of “Meditation,” “Expostulation,” and “Prayer,” which are constituted within this chapter.(Changwon National University)

( Jie Ae Yu ) 한국현대영어영문학회 2010 현대영어영문학 Vol.54 No.2

This paper, therefore, will examine how Harold's mental and spiritual communion with nature contributes to his rediscovery of love and a sense of vigor in the midst of his present tribulations.
