The ‘debunking literature’ can contribute to improving the society by revealing the social maladies, lightening the truth and exposing the evil to the world, whose genuine power lies in digging the truth even often running the risk of death. This paper aims to confirm why the poems describing the on-going famines in North Korea and the past ones in Ireland belong to debunking literature and what power or effect they have or they are expected to have. For this, I established some hypothesis through my reading on famines and examined the effects Irish literature on the Irish Great Famine has brought to the development of the Irish Society in advance. And through my investigation, I could confirm that North Korea’s refugee poet, Mr. Jang Jin Sung exposed extreme poverty and misery by contrasting the dying and innocent people with the cruel despotic regime sometimes in a strongly direct way and that the Irish famine poems of Mangan, Yeats and Heaney focused on the Great Britain's hypocritical and indifferent colonial policy on the Irish starvation-stricken people in a roundabout way. Moreover, reading famine poems of the two nations led me to compare North Korea’s famine poems with those of Ireland: they look similar in the respect that they portray the miserable scenes surrounding a mass of population who died of famines and spotlight political neglect as the main reason, but look very much different in the respect that, in a sharp contrast with any of Irish poets, North Korea’s refugee poet, Mr Jang Jin Sung, ran the risk of even his death to expose the despot regime that slaughtered, and is still slaughtering, its own people that has no liberty to escape from the starvation. My last conclusion is that the courageous poet, Jang’s pains will lead to the betterment of North Korea’s human rights just as Irish famine poems have influenced the development of Irish politics, history and culture deeply.

Sonnet is a 14-lined poem in the lyric mood whose subject is mainly about love. Heaney experimented the genre of sonnet in his three books: “Glanmore Sonnets” in Field Work “Clearances” in The Haw Lantern and “Glanmore Revisited” in Seeing Things. These three books have two things in common: the poet have changed his style and subject and that they no longer contain the Northern Troubles. Through reading sonnets selected from Field Work, The Haw Lantern and Seeing Things, I came to the following conclusion: the reason the poet adopted the genre of sonnet is that he wanted to write about love, not hatred or violence after he escaped from massacre of Ulster Trouble. And sonnets of three books depict three different kinds of love: love for family, love for landscape and love for writing. The sonnets of Field Work are characterized by the poet's contrary mind: the sense of relief and the sense of sin because he ran out of the massacre, discarding his relatives and his community. Sonnets in The Haw Lantern on the whole, show his filial piety and affection for his dead mom by trying to remember the moment of being together. Seven sonnets in Seeing Things are the recollection of Glanmore where he settled down with his family and wanted to live in peace, escaping from Ulster turmoil. Meanwhile, these sequence of sonnets have some difference: these sonnets have the different tone: humorous or childlike tone in Field Work, elegiac tone in The Haw Lantern and the recollective tone of Seeing Things.

Seamus Heaney is one of the representative writers who wrote many poems in memory of the dead people and memory is Heaney’s principle muse. Through rereading the selected poems for the dead, I could find out that Seamus Heaney used the different genres as memory art for the dead: some pastoral elegies of Field Work, a series of sonnets of The Haw Lantern and some free verses of Seeing Things containing the method of pastiche and incantation. Pastoral elegy is a funeral song or a lament for the dead with some convention: Although, Seamus Heaney following this convention, “The Strand at Lough Beg” and “Casualty” show some digression. And sonnet means “little songs” of fourteen lines that follow a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure with the theme of love. However, Heaney’s sonnets also show some transformation in line and rhyme. And the word pastiche means either a “hodge-podge” or imitation of several original works. Heaney’s some memory poems of Seeing Things apply some method of incantation which transforms keepsakes into the spiritual ones with the method of pastiche. What I came to the end from this study is that when Heaney commemorated victims of Ulster Trouble, he used somewhat artificial genre of pastoral elegy. However, for the memory of his dead mother, he used the sonnet genre of lyric mode which can contain praise and love of the dead. To our interest, he used free verse with pastiche and incantation to express love for his dead father and the late Philip Larkin. In short, he can be evaluated as a craftsman, memory digger and occulter.

Heaney’s poems seem to build on a tripartite cyclical structure which comprises home-leaving, wandering and home-coming. This structure is thought to symbolize explorations for identity and for the limitlessness and profundity of the universe. And also, this tripartite cyclical structure is thought to symbolize perfection and holiness. And this structure symbolizes the embracement of the dynamic and cyclical phenomena of our life. In Death of A Naturalist and Door into Dark the poet explores his own identity or his community's one; in Wintering Out, he shows the resistant spirit against the violence of Northern Ireland. In North, the persona finally recognizes that he should leave his home community stricken with violence in order to live in peace and to be a free artist. Field Work and Station Island, I think, belong to the stage of wandering: Field Work shows his new aspect as a naturalist, attempting to settle down in Wicklow, the new shelter. Station Island shows the last destination of his wandering, identifying himself with Sweeney, the symbol of the free artist and finally he comes to fly as a free universal artist. The poetical works since The Haw Lantern show some aspects of journey back; The Haw Lantern lays out a new blueprint for the Irish Republic as a conscientious country; and Seeing Things searches for the Irish spiritual omphalos that the Irish people has been dreamed of, by experimenting a new-style poetry for expressing light, song, freedom and equality. My last conclusion is that, although Heaney who had explored his own and his community's identities could not but leave his home country to write poems in peace and wander in a sense of sin, he has moved toward Uisneach: the perfection and holiness-full Irish utopian land and also the omphalos of Irish psyche.

Modernism and post-modernism are two aspects of aesthetic modernity reflecting some of the spiritual crises of the western civilization as resistance against the scientific modernity. These two are similar or the same to each other in seeing the modern world as fragments and discontinuities with pessimistic tone, the reality as relativity, and the language as lack. By contrast, many differences between the two can be seen as well. For example, modernism reflects Elite's taste of high culture while postmodernism is impatient with Elite's taste of ideas. And also, modernism hands down humanism and enlightenment while postmodernism rejects the so-called humanism and enlightenment. More likely than not, however, the foremost difference will be that modernism has the spirit of betterment by a kind of stoic attitude through self-criticism hoping for the birth of the hero who searches for the spiritual father, while postmodernism reflects a kind of Epicurism emphasizing 'seize the day' by accepting the commercial, technological and scientific values. It follows that modernism tries to expand freedom of more people through digging inner reality while postmodernism tries to expand equality of more people through de-constructing the concept of hierarchy of the western civilization. I think that Seamus Heaney's Seeing Things is characterized by the combination of modernism and post-modernism: his poetry contains the characteristics of modernism in respect that it continuously reflects the pursuit of tradition. At the same time, it includes post-modern aesthetics in respect that Squarings of Seeing Things transforms the concrete into the abstract by de-constructing some of the fixed meanings, from which readers can enjoy the entire freedom. My last conclusion is that Seamus Heaney's Seeing Things reflects not only his pursuit for the past tradition but also his desire to de-construct it. In brief, his poetry reflects some ambivalence: the search for the father and killing him, waiting for Godot and searching for light, freedom, equality and song.

I insist in this paper that hybridity and identity are two aspects of modernity, not the separate words like in the aesthetic theory of 'discordia concors' and that modernity carries both in it, expanding relative values. A new version of culture will be able to come out, depending upon how to arrange hybridity and identity. The modern Irish culture, especially in its literature, offers a good example. As for the Irish people, the disaster of Great Famine brought an awakening that the Irish was not the British. And the Irish Literary Revival made the will to differentiate. However, even after the Irish Literary Revival, the Irish people found out that their own culture had been hybridized and that the cultural conflict existed. However, the Irish writers have tried to recreate their own culture based on the pride of their own culture-a firm religious, political and cultural tradition. W.B. Yeats's contribution lies in his attachment to things Irish. His spirit and taste for the supernatural world can be identified with Irishness. However, for Yeats the expression of identity cannot but be limited because he himself was hybrid in blood. Meanwhile, for Heaney, the expression of his own identity is seen in his concern about landscape, history and Gaelic language. His will to search for identity starts from the sense of dispossession, experiencing the Ulster Trouble. However he comes to recognize that they are hybridized. Despite this, his studious will to recreate identity has continued by accepting the hybridity. In brief, Yeats and Heaney are the poets who, moving beyond hybridity, wanted to make the new cultural identity or to complete 'discordia concors' in culture. My last conclusion is that Yeats and Heaney seek to expand the cultural identity by accepting the hybridity and heterogeneity of their culture, and that, however, their last convergence is to search for the essence of the Irish spirit- light, freedom and song.

'Eco-feminism' as a combination of two words, 'ecology' and 'feminism', rests on the basic principle that patriarchical philosophies are harmful to women, children, and other living things. Eco-feminists feel that the patriarchical philosophy emphasizes the need to dominate and control unruly females and the unruly wilderness. What is stressed in eco-feminism is to change the still prevailing idea that the male-dominated civilization must be justified: eco-feminists think that human beings came to recognize that such civilization can't be the source of happiness. Meanwhile we can find that in Yeats's and Heaney's poems land and landscape are personified as an oppressed woman, from which I drew a hypothesis that these two poets may offer the prominent examples of literature based upon eco-feminism. By contrast, we can also find that these two poets also reveal patriarchism based upon Catholicism. Therefore, if anything, we can suppose that many works of these poets are reflecting both eco-feminism and patriarchism. The Irish poems and poets cannot but reflect these two ideas: eco-feminism and patriarchism. Meanwhile, in Irish poetry, woman is mainly reflected as three types of human-sovereign, procreator and lover. In Yeats's and Heaney's poems, woman and nature are to be appraised as important materials. Women in Yeats's poems are faithful to the traditional image as the lover or rarely the sovereign. And also, we can find that the persona wants to use her as his poetic inspiration by admiring her beauty and seeking sexual energy and wisdom from her. By contrast, women in Heaney's poems are mainly described as procreators who are to survive the oppressed land. The two poets are to be appraised to reflect eco-feminism in that they both show their love for woman and nature. Strictly speaking, however, Heaney's poems are more declined to eco-feminism while Yeats's poems are more declined to patriarchism: in Heaney's poems land and landscape sometimes appear as the oppressed woman; in Yeats's poems the persona blames woman for her violence, emphasizing that woman should have courtesy, wisdom and sexual attraction, not the intellectual hatred, whereas in Heaney's poems the persona never blames woman but feels pity for her oppressed situation.

Republic of Ireland is called a 'saint's country' since more than 90% of population believe in Catholicism. The Irish Catholicism had a great influence on the Irish society and culture by offering the hierarchical order to Irish people's way of life. And also, Catholicism had been a symbol of nationalism and played the role to confirm a sense of national identity. It is also true that since Free State Ireland, Catholicism with the word 'Gaelic' has contributed to making the national identity or 'racy Irish atmosphere'. However, the Irish Church of the 20th century was dedicated neither to spirituality nor the intellectual enhancement of the faith, but to material and social advantage. At the first stage of his writing, Yeats tries to consider Irish Catholicism as holy, combining it with mysticism of theosophy. And also he uses it to strengthen nationalism. However, Catholicism of that time, unlike what Yeats thought, sticks to the practical line, which makes Yeats criticize its materialistic ends. Meanwhile, talking about Heaney, although he accepts its values of contributing to the communal union and he himself is a serious devotee to pilgrimage going to Lough Derg or Station Ireland. Heaney feels at ease because of Catholic's fanaticism and oppression imposed on individuals. The final conclusion of this paper is that although these two poets, Yeats and Heaney, accept that Irish Catholicism has contributed to inspiration of the national patriotism and promoted the modernization of independent Ireland, they criticizes that Irish Catholicism is lacking its artistic spirituality and that it is a trap from which artists are to escape.

최근 들어 지식인들 사이에서 가장 많이 논의되는 것은 ‘세계화’(globalization)에 관한 것이다. 이것은 정보 통신 발전에 힘입어 시, 공간이 가까워짐으로써 생긴 현상으로서 경제 문화의 국경선 넘기 및 ‘지구가족’ 이라는 동료애를 강조하는 특성이 있다. 한편 이것을 사회주의 국가의 붕괴로 인한 최근현상으로 보는 이도 있고, Anthony Giddens 같은 이는 그것을 15세기부터 확산된 자본주의의 연장 및 현대화, 서구화, 그리고 심지어는 미국화와 동일한 개념으로 정의 내린다. 따라서 이것 역시 현대화처럼 여러 문제점을 내포할 수 있다. 특히 오랜 식민으로 제 문화를 잃어버린 나라들에 있어서 ‘세계화’는 또 다른 형태의 식민화로 인식될 여지가 있기 때문이다. 이 논문은 ‘glocalism’을 이 거대한 세계화의 조류 속에서 살아남는 방법으로 제시하면서 가장 이상적인 모델을 찾아보려 했다. 그런데 세계화의 날개를 타고 아일랜드를 문학관광국으로 만든 현대 아일랜드 문학 역사는 이상적 ‘glocalism’의 한 예로 볼 수 있고 그 중에서도 그 구체적 예를 윌리엄 버틀러 예이츠와 셰무스 히니에서 찾을 수 있다고 생각한다. 그들의 시를 세 단계로 나눈다면, 그 첫 단계에서는 고유문화 및 민족 정신을 고취시키는 지역화(localism)를 강화시키는 단계이고, 두 번째는 자신의 문화가 갖는 ‘hybridity’를 인정하고 한편으로는 저변으로 평가되었던 자신들을 중심으로 이동하는 세계화(globalism)로의 확장단계다. 그리고 마지막 단계는 이 둘을 양립시킨 이상적 ‘glocalism’의 단계로서, 이 단계는 이제까지의 대립구조가 사라지는 ‘Utopia’를 만들 수 있는 가능성을 열어놓는다. 아울러 이 논문은 예이츠와 히니 시의 ‘glocalism’ 과정에서 포스트 콜로니얼 저항 담론도 함께 찾아 보려했다. 그런데 예이츠의 저항은 19세기말부터 20세기 문화 비평가들이 가졌던 산업자본주의 문화가 지닌 속악한 속물성에 대한 것이다. 그의 시의 첫 단계로부터 마지막까지 아일랜드고유의 지역문화의 우수성을 주장함으로써 지역문화의 세계화를 주장한다. 그러나 그에게서는 히니에게서 보여지는 상실감과 정치적 저항은 보이지 않는다. 셰무스 히니는 급진적 저항성을 띤 작가로 평가되지는 않지만 그의 시에는 정치적 저항과 억압에 대한 자유추구의 정신을 찾을 수 있다. 각 단계에 속하는 작품을 통해 구체적으로 검증한 결과 다음과 같은 결론에 이르렀다. 예이츠나 히니의 ‘glocalism’은 민족 고유문화 발굴작업을 통한 지배문화에 대한 저항에서 시작해 단순히 지배문화를 수용한 것이 아니고 주체적 사고하의 수용인 전유를 거쳐 세계화의 날개를 달았다. 그 다음은 지역문화가 지닌 편협성을 배제시켜 지배문화와 지역 문화를 양립할 수 있게 했고 새로운 창조가 가능한 호미바바(Homi Bhabha)식의 ‘a third space’(제 3의 공간)를 향해갔다. 즉, 이 두 시인의 ‘glocalism’ 단계에서 저항, 전유, 새로운 휴매니즘의 창조라는 포스트콜로니얼 저항담론을 찾을 수 있었다. 물론 예이츠의 경우에는 정치적 저항보다는 후기 산업사회와 문화에 대한 저항이었고, 전유에 있어서도 전유의 주체가 히니와 달랐다. 한편 이 두 작가를 통해 추론된 이상적 ‘glocalism’이란 무조건 세계화를 수용한 것이 아니고 지역주체들이 지역성의 장점을 발굴해 세계화 속에 내포된 억압에 유연하게 저항할 때 가능했다. 아울러 그것은 지역 문화가 갖는 편협성을 청산해 세계화와 양립시킬 수 있는 공간을 마련할 가능성을 제시할 때야 완전할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In the 2000s, wearable devices had been produced for the purpose of medical service and entertainment. With the growth of mobile devices that improved interaction with human beings, wearable devices that cost high although showing their potential have been developed and made for special industries such as military and logistics control, and thus have faced a great deal of difficulty with market creation. In 2015, wearable devices have tended to expand into general markets, including health care, sports, and games. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conduct empirical survey on the next-generation users' awareness of wearable devices that emerged at the time when smart devices have changed their direction from something to carry to something to wear, and thereby to perform empirical preliminary research on the leading development direction and system establishment of the futuristic wearable device market. The study scope and methods are presented as follows: First, to analyze and outlook the domestic and foreign research trends and expected effects of wearable devices, previous studies are investigated and theoretical study is conducted. Secondly, the survey on the awareness of the future main users of wearable devices, or the next-generation user group, is conducted to look into their attitudes. Thirdly, the results from the survey on previous studies, theoretical study, and attitude research are used as the empirical material necessary for the leading development direction and system establishment of the futuristic wearable device market. The study subjects of this study were 81 college and university students in their 20s living in the metropolitan areas, who are the next-generation main users of wearable devices. They had person-to-person in-depth interviews. The questionnaire items were brand, interest, understanding of information, the extent of interest desire, the extent of purchase desire, purchase purpose, purchase factor, purchase region, non-purchase factor, and complementary factor for purchase. This study drew the following results and conclusions: Regarding the questions about interest in wearable devices, the extent of interest desire, the extent of purchase desire, purchase purpose, purchase factor, purchase region, non-purchase factor, and complementary factor for purchase, the positive replies were statistically significant regardless of sex, and there was high reliability of each question. The correlation between questions was not independent and thus it was proved that they had correlation. Typical global brands were found to be Apple Watch, Samsung Gear, and Google Glass in order. The most important non-purchase factors that the next generation group as main users had were price, function, and design. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem.

Objectives: This study is aimed at identifying the influential factors on the pulmonary function of ordinary residents in the surrounding areas of Yeosu Industrial Complex. Methods: The PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) was conducted on the target residents numbering 989 people (male 361, female 628). The exposed group (813 people) resided within the radius of 5km from Yeosu Industrial Complex and the control group (176 people) resided in the radius of more than 15 km from May 2007 to November 2007. The survey also took into account other factors including personal characteristics, life habits, respiratory diseases and allergic symptoms, medical histories, and the living environments of the residents in order to further identify influential factors on pulmonary function. Result: When comparing the PFT values of the exposure groups to the control group of the same city, values of the exposure groups were meaningfully lower with an %FEV1 of 107.05% and %FVC of 100.28%. Conversely, the control group reported an %FEV1 and %FVC of 107.26% and 102.85% respectively, indicating that ambient air pollutants reduce lung function. The odds ratio of asthma diagnosis history increased when a subjects residence was close to a heavily trafficked road, traffic amount was huge, a bed was used, and the family had less than four members. However the results were not statistically meaningful. The odds ratios of abnormal pulmonary function were statistically higher among those with asthma(OR=4.29, CI=1.75-10.56), wheezing (OR=2.59, CI=1.24-5.41), and nasal congestion (OR=2.87, CI=1.36-6.08) (p<0.01). The factors affecting FEV1 were symptoms including asthma, passive smoking and allergic eye disease (R2=0.049, p<0.001). For the FVC symptoms including asthma (R2=0.014, p<0.001) were measured. The analysis showed that FVC decreased with increases in O3 and CO(p<0.01). Furthermore, FEV1 decreased with increases in O3(p<0.01). Conclusions: These results will provide preliminary data for establishing responsive measures to protect the health of residents in industrial complexes from air pollution, and to develop lasting environmental health policies.
