This research will attempt to recontextualize Friel``s women remained unvoiced under the traditional patriarchic ideology and church in Ireland. The changing economic landscape of 1930s Ireland made audiences reconsider the identity of Ireland``s women repressed by the dogmatic control of State and Church. In Dancing at Lughnasa, historical background is illustrated with the backdrop of De Valera``s Ireland of the 1930s, a repressive state and society with its emphasis on family. The Catholic church as the pillars of society, was crucial to the women and provided the ideological sexual repression. Beneath the tragic days, the engendered five single women were oppressed by the ideology of Irish society. Their own voices have been denied forever by the patriarchal morality. Remapping Ballybeg society can be interpreted in a way to understand the restricted gender as the postcolonial feminist text of Ireland where church and state were so powerfully canonized under the language and philosophy in 1930s.(Hanbat National University)

This study attempts to draw out how the effects of performance and cultural project can cure the city people and social ills as well as boost the city economy through urban planning based on sustainable development theory. Performance and cultural experience have activated urban regeneration project which consists of many factors; social, spatial, physical, political restructuring, and cultural resources. It results in comprehensive and integrated harmony among city people towards the self-contained city and creative city as well. Urban regeneration policy is widely considered as a government's revolutionary step to boost decades long sluggish economy and refurnish cities which contain many signs of malfunction and social ills. The well considered and determined action among communities now can make a huge difference to the quality of life of Newark residents, not only in the towns and slums, but in the very inner city. Finally, the emphasis on culture-related policies examines alternative visions of how cultural planning might contribute to social, political changes. (Hanbat University)

In recent decades, a number of critics have reflected the critical Elizabethan period in terms of historiography as well as in- depth understanding of Elizabethan culture and patrilineal ideology. In The Taming of the Shrew, Kate, the shrew-figure, were able to establish her vividness in a way impossible for her to resist as a Subaltern over the brutality of early modern powerful patriarchy society. Most of Shakespeare’s society believed that the woman should submit to her husband, and the Elizabethan era was a hard time for woman who has her own voice in which social change. The play leads scholars to believe that it has also been a popular source of various criticism about husband and wife’s access to socio-economic power game. There is a wide spectrum of themes from the highly theoretical to the practical changes in the economy and traditional Elizabethan society revealed in the play. Final speech of Kate on the stage in Act V has been puzzling scholars how to decode Kate’s genuine woman’s place in the Elizabethan patriarchal power structure and culture. I suggest that her attempts is to impose a rhetorical subaltern’s lessons in the reasonableness of gender relations. (Hanbat National University)

This Paper examines the issues of nonstraight’s visibility, homosexual identity, gay desire, and nonstraight performativity. Sexual prejudice remains widespread but heterosexual attitudes toward nonstraights has become somewhat more accepting in recent years. We too, after all, are open to the possibility of sexuality. Clearly, the word queer has a range of meanings in literary studies today. This use includes the following; Gay self-hatred and initiation, coming out, dealing with homophobia and with heterosexualist discrimination, and the destruction of heterosexual family system. I reread the text of Albee with queer criticism, relying on similar kinds of textual evidence as well as Albee’s biographical evidence. Queer reading of Edward Albee’s works might examine how the playwright’s gay sensibility requires us to expand our understanding of the sexuality. Thus, I can conclude that Albee insinuates as well as suggests that to change the society, we should broaden our limit of prejudice, and use positive effort to understand another different sexuality-sexual orientation. Queer criticism promises us an exciting future of theoretical exploration and experimentation.

동성애 비평관점으로 Three Tall Women 읽기

이연자 한국현대영어영문학회 2000 현대영어영문학 Vol.44 No.1

Edward Albee, like other dramatists of the absurd, have dealt chiefly with various kinds of problems of human being in modern society, such as individual isolation, lack of communication, and the deterioration of material oriented modem society. According to his keen interest, he reveals that the failure of communication, the barrenness based upon the individual's empty desire and materials of American dream. Albee, who deservingly won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for this Three Tall Women, uses the theatrical device of having three actors play the dying woman at various stages of her life. He simply calls them A, B, and C. It's a crisp act that explores the dimensions of A's death. Albee conceptualizes and describes heterosexuals' negative attitudes toward homosexuality rather homophobia through the quarreling between son and his mother. Son has been away for a long time. Although his mother who is the most closest person couldn't accept her only son's sexual orientation. That simply having personal contact with a gay son does not necessarily affect heterosexual mother's negative feelings about gay and lesbian. But so many times layer, Old mother can understand him. People with homosexual have long been stigmatizes. With the rise of the gay political movement in the late 1960s, however, homosexuality's condemnation as immoral, criminal, and sick came under increasing scrutiny. When the American Psychiatric Association dropped homosexuality as a psychiatric diagnosis in 1973, the question of why some heterosexuals harbor strongly negative attitudes toward homosexuals began to receive serious scientific consideration. Sexual prejudice remains widespread in the United States. however, heterosexuals' attitudes toward gay and lesbian have become somewhat a little bit more accepting in recent years. Therefore, this study focuses on the Albee's homosexuality and homosexual codes through his works. Thus, We can conclude that Albee insinuates as well as suggests that to change the society or to broaden our limit of thought are indispensible just as positive effort to understand another different sexuality- sexual orientation.
