The Role of Stein and Anderson in American Modernism

이 논문의 의도는 미국문학에서 거트루드 스타인과 셔우드 앤더슨이 차지하는 일정한 역사적 의미와 역할을 규정하면서 그들의 문학이 지향하는 바가 어떻게 현대적이고 이 현대적 정신이 어떻게 미국적 상상력의 소산인가를 대표적인 작품과 자서전을 통하여 밝히려는데 있다. 논문은 모두 네 부분으로 구성되어 있는데, 제 1장에서는 주로 전기적 사실에 근거하여 이 두 작가의 개성과 역할에 관한 문학적 내지 문학사적 의의를 규명하였고, 제 2장의 스타인론에서는 비교적 전통적인 초기의 Three lives에서 극도로 실험적인 Tender Buttons에 이르는 소위 스타인 문체의 전개과정을 논의하면서 이 파격적 모더니즘의 징후가 휘트먼류의 낙관적 자아탐닉의 소산임을 지적하였으며, 제 3장의 앤더슨론에서는 주로 Winesburg Ohio와 Dark Laughter의 분석을 통하여 로렌스 내지 프로이드적인 직관으로 사회의 인습적 가치를 부정하는 이 작가의 현대적 정신에서 트웨인과 휘트먼의 에덴과 빈주주의의 미국적 상상력이 얼마나 큰 배경인가를 밝히고 있다. 제 4장은 결론인데, 스타인과 앤더슨이 함께 계도한 미국 모더니즘은 새로운 국면이면서도 유럽 모더니즘의 반전통과 고립, 허무의식과 달리 트웨인과 휘트먼의 긍정과 낙관의 비젼을 일면 물려받고 있음을 논하였다

시각적 무손실 임계점으로 CT 영상을 자동으로 압축하는 알고리즘의 개발

Methods: A total of 206 body CT images were obtained with five different scan protocols. Five radiologists independently determined the VLT of each image for JPEG2000 compression using QUEST procedure. The 206 images were divided randomly into two subsets: training (n = 103) and testing (n = 103) sets. Using the training set, a multiple linear regression (MLR) model was constructed regarding the image features and DICOM header information as independent variables and regarding the VLTs determined with median value of the five radiologists responses (VLTrad) as dependent variable, after determining an optimal subset of independent variables by backward stepwise selection in a four-fold cross-validation scheme. The performance of the constructed model was evaluated on the testing set by measuring absolute differences and intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficient between the VLTrad and the VLTs predicted by the model (VLTmodel). The performance of the model was also compared those of the two image fidelity metrics, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and high-dynamic range visual difference predictor (HDRVDP). The time for computing VLTs between MLR model, PSNR, and HDRVDP were compared using the repeated ANOVA with a post-hoc analysis. P < 0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Results: The means of absolute differences with the VLTrad were 0.58 (95% CI, 0.48, 0.67), 0.73 (0.61, 0.85), and 0.68 (0.58, 0.79), for the MLR model, PSNR, and HDRVDP, respectively, showing significant difference between them (p < 0.01). According to the post-hoc analysis, the significant difference was shown between the MLR model and PSNR. The ICC coefficients of MLR model, PSNR, and HDRVDP were 0.88 (95% CI, 0.81, 0.95), 0.85 (0.79, 0.91), and 0.84 (0.77, 0.91). The mean computing times for calculating VLT per image were 1.5 ± 0.1 sec, 3.9 ± 0.3 sec, and 68.2 ± 1.4 sec, for MLR metric, PSNR, and HDRVDP, respectively. The differences between them were significant (p < 0.01). Conclusions: we proposed a MLR model which directly predicts the VLT of a given CT image solely using the original image without compression. The proposed MLR model showed superior or comparable performance to those of image fidelity metrics while requiring less computational expenses. The model would be promising to be used for adaptive compression of CT images.Abstract i Contents ii List of tables and figures iii Introduction 1 Material and Methods 3 Results 19 Discussion 25 Acknowledgements 28 References 29 Abstract in Korean 36Docto

The significance of text in English language education: how and what are we to teach in the secondary-school pedagogy of reading in English

This short essay is a slightly modified version of a presentation read at the annual Institute seminar held at SNU on the 5th of December to exchange views on the function of reading in foreign language education in Korea. It begins with the discussion of a need on the paπ of policy makers of English teaching to reassess and revise the dominantly pragmatic and instrumentalist philosophy particularly working in the pedagogy of reading in English. According to the revisionist review of the present writer, the guiding spirit of the 4-skill orientation has so far tended to overvalue the linguistic and communicative functions (or grammar as is termed here to contrast with the 'text that follows) at the cost of the human or readerly values carried by signifying textuality of the reading material. Language should and is fated to reflect and realize the lived experience of concrete and individualized people and society. English is a natural and cultural language that embraces all these cultural resourcefulness and expressiveness before it is a foreign language. Strategies of reading pedagogy ought to reflect this fundamental as well as human or value-oriented aspect of language despite the limited level of the language on the part of its leaners

A Study on the Irony in the Poetry of Thomas Hardy

A survey of the works by Thomas Hardy readily reveals the fact that irony is one of the most prominent features of his poetic imagination. A collection of his short stories bears the famed title, "Life's Little Ironies." At least two of his eight books of poetry are given titles that inform the author's ironic cast of mind unguardedly: Time's Laughingstocks and Satires of Circumstance. One of the many spirits that populate his voluminous epic poem, The Dynasts, is named the Spirit Ironic. Hardy was an ironist by nature and choice. Deriving from Greek eironeia and Latin ironia meaning 'dissembling,' irony is a broad term referring to the -recognition of a reality different from the masking appearance. So in irony there are two distinct dimensions of reference involved: ironic' vision and ironic expression. Hardy's ironic vision is certainly encouraged by the mood of uncertainty that ruled the transitional period in which he lived. His poetry reflects the age's conflict between the old and new cultures, and his timeless Wessex was actually what Raymond Williams called "the border country." Hence the poet's persistent sense of nostalgia for the irredeemable past, which is the single comprehensive motif behind his various lyrical poems about nature, man, and love. The conflict between theology and science was another characteristic sign of his age, and here, Hardy's burning sense of incongruity, as is amply reflected in his "philosophical" poems, becomes quintessentially ironical. The situation of man's fate is incongruous in the total scheme of the universe where the indifferent Will presides replacing the Christian god. This is the cosmic or general irony for Hardy. An irony arises from a sense of incongruity-disparity between reality and appearance, but its quality is determined by the degree of detachment on the part of the ironist, The more the poet's personal voice is subdued or detached, whether out of moral conviction or sheer unconcern, the nearer the poem moves in the direction of the satirical or the humorous. This accounts for the mildly satirical or humorous note in Hardy's philosophical poems. His so-called pessimism is, therefore, less gloomy than it imports to be. It is not so much Hardy's theory of meliorism as his ironical imagination that saves the poet's . philosophy of gloom. In fact, the reader experiences greater gloom or pain or whatever in his pure lyrics where the poet's authentic voice is more centrally present and where the sense of irony is more subtle and complicated. Finally, Hardy's predilection for the dramatic, as manifested by monologs, dialogs, and narrative elements in his poetry, should be read as both the support and result of his ironical vision and imagination. The poet's incomparable compassion embraces divers elements in nature and even human mind as individual members in the family of the universe. Their living voices jar with each other constantly and sadly but within the common bounds of the greater family. This warmth in the cold universe, enacted by way of personification, might be the final irony of Hardy's ironical vision.본 연구는 1987년도 문교부 학술연구 조성비에 의해 이루어진 것임
