애니 프루의『클로스 래인지』와 프래그머티즘에 관한 소고 = Researches on Annie Proulx`s Close Range and Pragmatism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The eleven stories in Annie Proulx`s short fiction collection Close Range: Wyoming Stories differ in their contents but share a connection with ranch life in the state of Wyoming. Characters working in close quarters at a ranch typically operate under the insular social mores of a culture bound by fixed conventions and traditions. These mores and dicta inspire the characters to seek outlets for escape while also convincing them to adhere to dominant, often prejudiced conventions. Proulx shows the reader various modes of life, nearly all of which are influenced by straitened social norms of either escape or adherence. In this regard, the criticism and praise that she directs toward their way of life resembles those of pragmatists, who reject a number of inveterate habits, abstractions, fixed principles, and closed systems in favor of new explorations, concreteness, fluidity, and openness. Pragmatists align themselves with postmodernists in their pursuits and rejections, but differ in their emphasis on practice and effects on life. The traits visible in Close Range more closely resemble pragmatism than postmodernism. In this paper, Close Range is explored from a pragmatistic perspective. (Hannam University).
