The primary purpose of this study is examine the American woman's image through film. In so diong, this paper reviewed over twenty films. Each film review includes an essay on the history of American woman. It also explores the gap between images and realities about the American women. This study is divided into five major parts; American women's history, gender issue, family values, job experience, and minority women in American society. The historical experience of the two sexes was in many important ways progoundly different. It has been relatively easy for historians to see that economic and political developments affected men's lives. The women's actiities, however, has often been discounted and rarely been understood. For the discussion of American woman's history, this part examined five major movies: 〈The Scarlet Letter〉, 〈The Cruciable〉, 〈Gone with the Winds〉, 〈The Little Women〉, 〈The Great Getsby〉, These movies were about various subjects such as puritanism, witchcraft, civil War, and new woman. For women, puritans had special expectations and understood there to be special punishments. If the most cherished values of the Puritan community were hierarchy and order, then it was an easy step to the condemnation of those who did not accept their place in it. Witchcraft prosecutions were endemic throughout the Puritan colonies in America and exploded into the famous outbreak in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, during which nearly 200 people, three-quarters of them women, were executed. It was definitely gender specific, a woman's crime. To American women who lived through it, the Civil War was the most traumatic experience of ninetheenth century. As the "flapper"-the new woman of the post-war decade-changed her attitude toward the consumption of alcoholic beverages, so she also rapidly changed those pertaining to courtship of the twenties demanded the same social freedom for herself that man enjoyed. The second part of this study discussed about the gender issues such as sisterhood, lesbianism, sexual violence, and abortion.〈The Thelma and Louis〉,〈The Bound〉,〈The Dolores Claiborn〉,〈The Accused〉, and〈If Thes Walls Could Talk〉are the major movies. Sex refers to biological differences that are unchanging; gender involves the meaning that a particular society and culture attach to sexual difference. Because that meaning varies over time and among cultures, gender differences are both socially constructed and subject to change. Unerstanding the difference between sex and gender provides a key to understanding the differences in men's and women's historical experience. Sexual violence is violence, not sex, and it si a public, not private matter. Rape crisis centers, battered women's shelters are expressions of their insistence that government respond to male violence against women. Feminists also attack directly the notion that female victims of violence are in some measure to blame by virtue of provocative dress and behavior or prior sexual experience. On profound questions of birth, death, and human choice that were raised by abortion. The abortion debate in the United Satates involved all Americans in complex questions of sex and power, and competing social values. The family values have been one of the most important political issues. The movies -〈Icestorm〉,〈The American Beauty〉,〈The Bridges of Madison County〉,〈Mrs. Doubfire〉, and〈Stepmom〉-provide the idea about the various problems of the American family. Gender differnces in life cycles and family experiences have been a central factor in that divergence. The films about the American women in the workplace-〈Erin Brockvich〉,〈Courage Under Fire〉,〈Working Girl〉, and〈The Associate〉-show economic hardships, discrimination, and glass ceiling. One of the greatest barriers to an accurate assessement of women's role in the community has been the habit of assuming that what women did was not very important. Housekeeping has long been women's work, and housework has long been regarded as trivial. Most adult American women worked to feed and shelter themselves, their children, other members of their families. In the workplace, women and men were assigned jobs that reflected the employers' beliefs about the kind of workeach sex should do. In a society, female wage earners were persistently channeled into jobs that corresponded with the kind of work done in the domestic sphere or with characteristics long associated with women. Once a form of work has been identified with women, it has invariably become associated with low pay and inimal prestige. Differences of culture, nationality, and historical memory are exacerbated by distinctions of race, class, ethnicity, and sexual preference. The experience of the minority women in the American society were very different. The movies-〈The Joy Luck Club〉,〈The heaven and Earth〉,〈Set It Off〉,〈Dances with Wolves〉, and〈The Long Walk Home〉-show the idea that differneces among women were also multiple. Most of the information we receive about the world around us does not come from direct experience. Our Knowledge about human life si gained secondhand from the mass media, especially the film. The tremendous noramative power of the film has often distorted the image of women insociety. It also both reflect and help create and alter social and cultural values. It is one of the most important channels for achieving social change. For this reason, it is important to study the film for understanding the American society.

This article is to elaborate a modern black woman writer, Maya Angelou, especially her miraculous life as a black writer. She was born in the divorced family and raped at 8 by her mother's friend and at 16 she gave birth to a bastard but now she is teaching in the Wake Forest University and has become a famous speaker as well as a well known writer. I have surveyed what could transform herself from an unhappy black girl to an influential popular writer as well as speaker First, she could overcome her environmental barriers with writing biographies and poems. Writing her life stories in poems and autobiographies she always tried to disclose her dark, shameful experiences to the public and with such continuous opening she has succeeded in freeing herself from her past. And her inborn humorous temper and familial love unique as a black People and most of all, her Christian belief helped her break the negative barriers such as inferiority complex and prejudices caused by the color difference as well as the gender discrimination. Especially her faith in Christ brought her and her people good merits such as endurance and serving mind, which resulted in embracing the white neighbors with Christ's love. All those have contributed to giving her a positive thinking and to opening herself to the publics with warm heartedness to be Maya Angelou of today.

새로운 통합은 옛 뿌리 위에서만 자랄 수 있다 : 엘리어트의 (반)모더니티 의식 T. S. Eliot on Modernity

김태철 한국외국어대학교 북미연구소 2003 영미연구 Vol.9 No.-

Eliot betrays an impasse in which he was situated at once as a child of decentred modernity and as a self-imposed reactionary to it. While unconsciously residing in 'eccentric and formless' modernity, he made a conscious attempt to transcend it. He wandered between Eliot the poet and Eliot the critic or more precisely between aesthetic modernity and the glorifying submission of transient modernity to the imagined pre-modern centrality. His critical project begins with a strong desire to nullify historical discontinuities under ever- deepening modernity. He goes against all the modern trends, determined to apply what he thinks is permanent, complete and fundamental to the particular, the fragmentary and the provincial under modernity. For this reason, he repeatedly looks back to the disintegration of the intellect and the dissociation of sensibility in the course of modernity for what he suspects is the origin of modern rupture, attempting to bridge historical faultlines running through between the two worlds. Likewise. the self-claimed anti-modern Eliot, who is ironically faithful to modernity's dialectical impulse to deny the past, is explicit in putting forward various kinds of oppositional pairs suggesting his conceptual map of pre-modern absolutes and modern contingencies: centre and periphery, the timeless and the temporal, the eternal and flux, the enduring and the changing, Christiandom and the Civil War. Dante and Donne. universal verse and superficial prose, the visual and the auditory imagination, ontologism and psychologism, religious orthodoxy and secular humanism, outside authority and inner voice, tradition and the individual talent, etc. These binary oppositions make it clear that Eliot, reducing modern emergencies just to the empirical and experimental, attempts to reformulate the relationship of contemporary modernity to the past tradition in the hope to reactivate the former group in each pair with a sweeping dismissal of the latter in his anachronistically dualistic world-view. Even if the age is to be edged forward beyond modernity or at least into another stage of modernity, Eliot sees no point in going forward, in which vision the pre-modern integrity is the only alternative for modernity and other possibilities are also nothing but modernity's impulse for another experimentalism towards an uncertain future.

LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA : TWO EXAMPLES OF LINGUISTIC CULTURAL IDENTITY

Grieco, Peter 한국외국어대학교 외국학종합연구센터 북미연구소 2000 영미연구 Vol.5 No.-

This essay began as a talk I gave at the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, in November, 1998. The argument focuses on three points. First, there is an unavoidable link between language and the structures of personal identity. Second, the potential richness of American cultural identity-with its stress on individualism-must also be understood to be severely limited from the point of view of linguistic identity. This negative example is contrasted with the more promising case of the multi-linguistic culture of Canada. And, third, the multi-cultural heritage of a truly transnational world will depend on the proliferation of multi-lingual individuals. Because my original audience was a group of students training to become professional translators and interpreters-a group of individuals who are ordinarily not expected to exert their individual identities in their professional capacities, but to work as agents for others-my aim was to make them.
