Hyun Jaemyeong’s Opera Chunhyang-Jeon: Ancient Traditions and Western Perspectives

abstract: ABSTRACT Korea’s first opera Chunhyang Jeon was composed by Jaemyeong Hyun in 1948. Until that time, most Korean vocal music was sung by a few native traditional artists. Inspired by their work, composer Hyun combined elements from the ancient Pansori (epic poetic forms presented by a solo singer with drum) and Western music techniques to create his opera. Hyun also used the more vernacular Hangeul (Korean alphabet) for his libretto rather than the Chinese usually heard in Korean theatrical presentations. It might be noted that in that same year (1948), the first Western opera: Verdi’s La Traviata was performed in Seoul. This study concerns the bringing together of Korean traditional idioms (in Pansori) and Western musical ideas (harmony, orchestration, etc.) to create what is now known as Chunhyang-jeon Opera. In this regard, the author will present a brief split-analysis of the older style and the more modern musical attributes of the combined style of traditional Korean music and European style opera. It is hoped that this study might provide the basis for a future opera course and guide for both disciplines. This study will also show that the Pansori and its subsequent operatic treatment has historical, social and artistic elements. Some similarities and differences of both forms were noted here with regard to cultural sensitivities. While Chunhyang-ga (older form) and Chunhyang-jeon (Hyun’s modern adaptation) have some musical similarities, the latter was not composed based on the former. Chunhyang-ga consists mainly of compound meter (6/8, 9/8, 12/8, 24/8), which is at the heart of Korean traditional music, while Chunhyang-jeon uses simple meter (2/4, 3/4, 4/4). Identical words are not often used in the two works, but their libretti are of much significance. Chunhyang-ga had been traditionally handed down with Chinese characters, whereas Chunhyang-jeon constituted its libretto with more modern Korean words which were easily understood by the audience. Pansori have been sung with traditional singing techniques, which demonstrate the flow of the melodic line found in the images of the words (as interpreted and improvised by the solo performer), while in opera, vocal music is primarily from a set of melodic and harmonic techniques.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201

Hispanic Hallyu: Comparing Boys Over Flowers Directed By Jeon Ki-Sang With Latino Telenovelas

The term hallyu, meaning Korean wave, was originally coined in the 1990s to describe the proliferation of South Korean popular culture throughout the world. This project focuses specifically on Hispanic populations within North and South America where--despite lack of geographical or cultural proximity to South Korea--Korean movies, dramas, and music have obtained widespread popularity. With respect to K-dramas, this project juxtaposes thematic elements between the K-drama Boys over Flowers directed by Jeon Ki-Sang and Latino telenovelas to determine if K-drama popularity can be ascribed to similarities in motifs between K-dramas and telenovelas

The distortion of charge balance functions due to experimental acceptance is discussed and the effects of identical boson interference is illustrated with a simple model.Comment: 1 eps figure included. 5 pages in revtex

1990년대 고난의 행군기 북한의 정치담론 분석

학위논문(석사)--서울대학교 대학원 :국제대학원 국제학과(국제협력전공),2019. 8. 이근.1990년대의 정치 및 경제 위기는 북한정권의 탄력성에 대해 선전 전략의 변화를 요구하는 과제를 제시해왔다. 북한정권은 첫 지도자 지위 계승에서 오는 정치적 어려움과 자연재해 및 변환하는 국제정세에서 비롯된 경제위기를 극복하기 위해서 항일무장투쟁시기 고난의 행군의 기억을 소환하여 새로운 정치담론을 생성하였다. 이렇게 생성된 새로운 정치담론이 과거의 기억을 효율적으로 호출하기 위해서는 역사적 사실에 근거해야 하며 기존 정치담론의 구조를 어느 정도 표방해야 한다. 본 논문은 지도자의 연설문, 신문, 영화, 음악 등 북한의 다양한 선전물을 분석하여 선동전략에서 북한 정권 탄력성의 근원을 찾고자 한다. 본 논문은 연구는 우선 적의 형성 및 비판, 항일투쟁역사의 소환, 공감 유발, 자기 희생으로의 유인 이라는 북한 정치담론의 기본 구조를 파악하였다. 나아가 1990년대 경제위기의 정치담론과 현재 세습제도를 정당화 시키는 유일사상체제를 완성한 1970년대의 정치담론을 해당 구조를 기반으로 비교한다. 비교분석을 통해서 정당성을 보장하기 위해 정치담론의 구조는 변화하지 않았으나 내용은 시기의 국내외적 요구에 따라 변화한 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 1990년대 경제위기의 정치담론이 북한에서 신화로 굳어버린 항일투쟁시기 고난의 행군의 역사에 크게 의존하여 마르크스-레닌주의에서 비롯된 기존 사회주의사상에 변화를 주어 세습정치의 정당성을 확보했던 것으로 보인다. 또한, 당시 선동전략은 역사에 대한 공통된 기억을 형성하여 사회에 연대감을 강화시켰던 것으로 보인다. 북한정권은 경제위기를 극복하였고 사상과 군사의 강성대국을 이룩했다고 주장했다. 그리고 최근 북한정권은 경제분야에서도 강성대국의 꿈을 이루겠다는 목표를 강조해왔다. 하지만 현실에서의 북한은 경제강국의 건설이라는 목표에서 거리가 멀어 보인다. 과거 정치담론에서 오는 제약 또한 북한정권의 경제목표를 달성하는 데에 방해요소로 작용되는 것으로 보인다.For North Koreas regime resilience, the political and economic crisis in the 1990s presented challenges which required a change in its propaganda strategy. In order to overcome the political challenge of power transfer and the economic difficulties caused by natural disasters and changing international order, the North Korean regime has revived the memory of the Arduous March during the Japanese colonial period in its propaganda. For the new discourse to legitimately invoke the past memories, the discourse has to be grounded upon historical facts as well as a constant structure of previous discourses for continuity. Through analyzing the propaganda works of public speeches, newspapers, movies and music, the paper attempts to find the source of the North Koreas regime resilience in the mobilization strategy. The paper first identified the continuous structure of constructing and criticizing state enemies, recalling the memory of anti-Japanese struggle, eliciting empathy, and inducing self-sacrifice of the people. Then, the contents of the propaganda during the economic difficulties of 1990s are compared to the propaganda used during the 1970s to justify the monolithic ideology of Kim Il-sung which allowed the family dictatorship to exist. Though, the structure of propaganda has remained unchanged for legitimacy, the contents have changed to meet the demand of the external and internal changes. The discourse formed during the economic crisis relied heavily on the apocryphal fable of the Arduous March during the Japanese colonial period to justify the new ruling principles detached from the traditional Marxism–Leninism and to legitimize the ruling Kim family. The mobilization strategy also aimed at strengthening the social solidarity through creating a shared memory of the history. The North Korean regime has claimed that it has overcome the economic crisis and has achieved the goal of creating a strong military and ideological state. And, the regime has emphasized that economic development will be accomplished soon. However, the current situation of North Korea is quite distant from its presented goal of economic power. Limitations stemming from the previous discourses have also provided obstacles for the regime to make policy decisions toward economic development.Table of Contents 1.

Subjectivity and health for Korean "goose mothers" in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand

The number of Korean goose mothers living in New Zealand with their children, while their husbands remain in their home country, is rapidly increasing. This particular form of Asian migration to Western countries is a new phenomenon, and brings with it new forms of family life. Existing research does not tell us much about how these mothers adjust to, and manage their health in, such different circumstances. This research explores how these Korean goose mothers experience their subjectivities in the new country and how these subjectivities relate to their health practice. Drawing on a critical perspective, I suggest that multiple subjectivities form through the different cultural discourses that are available to the mothers in their new context. Discourses around gender, health and ethnicity provide relevance to the Korean women, through constructing meanings of what it is to be a good mother, a Korean as well as a member of an ethnic minority group while in New Zealand. These constructions position the women in asymmetrical relationships: between men and women, between western health practitioners and Korean patients, and between the host society and the ethnic minority group. These multiple and simultaneous relationships complicate the Korean women's subjectivities, which are constantly renegotiated in response to these relationships. By both complying with and resisting positionings caused by these asymmetrical relationships, the women reinterpret and reformulate their subjectivities. They experience changes in their health, because their health practice relates so closely to their multiple subjectivities in New Zealand as mothers, Koreans, and members of an ethnic minority group. These findings provide further possibilities for understanding, and for intervening with Korean goose mothers' adjustment and health, if we attend to these multiple and contingent subjectivities which are complicated by gender and ethnicity in their new context.

Fully Integrated Frequency and Phase Generation for a 6-18GHz Tunable Multi-Band Phased-Array Receiver in CMOS

Fully integrated frequency-phase generators for a 6-18GHz wide-band phased-array receiver element are presented that generate 5-7GHz and 9-12GHz first LO signals with less than -95dBc/Hz phase noise at 100kHz offset. Second LO signals with digitally controllable fourquadrant phase- and amplitude spread with better than 3° resolution are generated and allow removal of systematic reference clock skew as well as accurate selection of the received signal phase. This frequency- and phase generation scheme was successfully demonstrated in a 6-18GHz receiver system configured as an electrical 4-element array

GML Conversion and Database Management of S-57 Electronic Navigational Charts

Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC’s) are digital charts encoded in S-57 format, which contain navigational informations such as coastlines, depth areas, and nautical marks. Although they have been successfully used for safe navigation of ships, they have limited usages and applications because of their specialized data format and access systems. To cope with such drawbacks, S-57 ENC’s need to be transformed into more generalized format such as Geography Markup Language (GML). The transformed GML ENC’s can be kept in a database for efficiency, and can be accessed through Internet for usability. This thesis proposes a new method for transforming the S-57 ENC’s into GML for and managing the XML database on GML. S-57 ENC’s are first translated into GML data, and then stored in a XML database. On the database, users can query for their needs. To validate the feasibility of the proposed method, a prototype system is developed, and then several test runs are conducted. The system can provide users with easy access to marine informations contained in ENC’s. It also provides accessibility and efficiency, by virtue of GML and database, respectively.제 1 장 서론 = 1 제 2 장 관련 연구 = 3 2.1 S-57 전자해도 = 3 2.2 GML S-57 응용 스키마 = 9 2.3 XML 데이터베이스 = 13 2.4 XML 질의어 = 15 제 3 장 전자해도 변환 및 데이터베이스 설계 = 19 3.1 S-57 전자해도의 GML 변환 = 21 3.2 GML 전자해도의 데이터베이스 저장 = 25 3.3 GML 전자해도의 사용자 인터페이스 = 27 제 4 장 시스템의 구현 = 34 4.1 구현 환경 = 34 4.2 구현된 시스템 = 35 제 5 장 결론 = 41 참고문헌 = 4

시각적 의도가 지배적인 공간을 위한 커뮤니케이션 디자인에 관한 연구

학위논문 (박사) -- 서울대학교 대학원 : 미술대학 디자인학부 디자인전공, 2021. 2. 김경선.This dissertation seeks to explore the possibilities of visual communication design within the field of spatial design. Spatial Graphics is defined as a means of communication in which the nature and intention of the space is effectively communicated through visual expression. The aim of this thesis, on the one hand, is to articulate practices and strategies of visual communication as legitimate spatial design, while at the same time expanding the understanding of space with dominant visual intent so that new interactions and forms of communication can be revealed. Countless graphic designers have utilized visual language as a means of organizing and designing space, resulting in interdisciplinary collaborations between architects, interior designers, and other artists. Thus, one can observe traces of aesthetic and cultural influences on the work of contemporary graphic designers, reflecting a development toward greater independence. In this context, design as a concept is no longer confined to static, closed forms, but is largely integrated with dynamic environments in which life is lived and experienced. This dissertation should be understood as a contribution to understanding how graphic design as a discipline can extend its potential to encompass spatial design. The latter is an area that has been relatively less examined within the graphic design field. Expanding the potential of graphic design, this dissertation seeks to explore the possibilities of reading the field as an articulation of a multi-sensory experience by paying particular attention to graphic designs contextual diversity in a variety of disciplinary contexts. The dissertation thus focuses on a central trend in the graphic design field: the ways in which the practice of graphic design as a communicative discourse constitutes crucial and aesthetic interventions into public space. These interventions illustrate, among other things, how central properties within graphic design methodologies and approaches can recite and intensify spatial strategies and potentials in the environmental framework inhabited by people. To this end, an important dimension for the conduction of this research was the professional background knowledge and diverse work experiences of the researcher as a seasoned practitioner within the field of graphic design. The specific methods of conducting research for this paper are as follows: First, the concepts, historical meaning, and components of space are examined and analyzed. Secondly, the method of spatial graphics is described through case analysis and spatial characteristics. The main purpose of this dissertation is to explore the possibilities of constructing a significant model that stages, frames, and enables the coordinates for future research on the relationship between graphic design and space consciousness, and more specifically a model that draws the coordinates of a new spatial interpretation and visualization within the field of graphic design.본 논문은 공간 디자인 영역에 내재하는 비주얼 커뮤니케이션 디자인의 가능성을 탐구한다. 공간 그래픽이란 시각적 표현을 통해 공간의 성격과 의도를 효과적으로 전달하는 의사소통 수단을 일컫는다. 본 연구의 목적은 공간 디자인으로서 비주얼 커뮤니케이션 디자인의 타당성을 표명하고, 나아가 시각적 의도가 지배적인 공간에 대한 이해를 확장함으로써 새로운 상호작용과 의사소통 형식을 발견하는 데 있다. 디자인은 우리가 삶을 경험하는 방식, 그러므로 물리적 공간을 경험하는 방식에 큰 영향을 미친다. 대다수의 그래픽 디자이너들은 공간을 구성하고 설계하는 수단으로 시각적 언어를 활용하여 건축가, 실내 디자이너, 그 밖의 다양한 예술가들과 함께 학제적 협업을 이루어 왔다. 이러한 동시대 그래픽 디자이너들의 작업은 더욱 발전된 독립성을 반영함으로써 미학적, 문화적 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 맥락에서, 디자인이라는 개념은 고정되고 폐쇄된 형식으로 국한될 수 없으며, 오히려 우리가 살아가고 경험하는 역동적인 환경과 융합되어 있다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 그래픽 디자인 연구에서 상대적으로 간과되어 온 공간 디자인으로서 그것의 확장 가능성을 규명하기 위해, 하나의 학문으로서 그래픽 디자인이 어떻게 공간 디자인 분야에 영향을 미치는지 다양한 사례를 통해 살펴본다. 특히 본고가 주목하는 지점은 다학제적 관점을 수용함으로써 생산되는 그래픽 디자인의 다양한 맥락이며, 이는 그래픽 디자인을 다감각적 경험의 표현으로 이해하는 데 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 오늘날 그래픽 디자인 분야에서 나타나는 중심적인 경향에 초점을 맞춰, 그래픽 디자인 실천이 담론적 기능을 수행함으로써 공공 공간에 비판적이고 미적으로 개입하는 방식을 탐구한다. 이러한 개입은 무엇보다도 그래픽 디자인의 방법론 및 접근 방식에 내재된 고유한 특성에 의한 것으로, 그래픽 디자인은 그 자체로 우리가 생활하는 환경 체제 내부의 공간적 전략과 잠재성을 상연하고 또 강화하는 방식을 명시하기 때문이다. 연구자가 그래픽 디자이너로 활동하면서 쌓은 전문적인 시각과 실무 경험은 이러한 연구를 수행하는 데 중요한 배경이 된다. 본 논문의 구체적인 연구 방법론은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 공간의 개념과 그것의 역사적 의미 및 구성요소를 검토하고, 이를 그래픽 디자인 연구의 관점에서 살펴본다. 둘째, 동시대 그래픽 디자인의 다양한 사례들에 대한 분석을 통해 공간 그래픽의 기법과 그것의 공간적 특성에 대해서 설명한다. 이러한 과정을 통해, 본 논문이 궁극적으로 목표하는 바는 그래픽 디자인과 공간 인식 사이의 관계를 상호작용의 맥락에서 파악하고, 이를 새로운 공간 해석 및 시각화를 가능하게 하는 환경 구성의 원리로 논하는 것이다. 나아가 후속 연구를 위한 기틀을 마련하고자 이를 상연하고, 생산하고 또한 작동시키는 주요한 모델의 구축 가능성을 탐구한다.1.
