There is something uncomfortable talking about the realism of J. M. Coetzee. His Foucauldian understanding of history as a land of "discourse," his interest in the constitutive role of language as a ...novelist and linguist, as well as his European heritage-all these make us hesitant to call him the loaded term, a "realist." Although the potentials of literary realism have always been Coetzee s main concern, as is well documented in lots of interviews with the author, they have not been explored by critics with the same seriousness as his (post-)modernist textual practice so far-how many academic articles on Coetzee's novels have been reproduced in which the barbarian girl in Waiting for the Barbarians (1980) is the textual evidence of the Spivakean unknowable other, Michael K in Life <b Times of Michael К (1983) is a sort of Derridean trace, and the tongueless Friday in Foe (1986) is a guardian of absolute absence? This article pays attention, instead, to what has been relatively ignored in the canonization of the so-called Coetzee Studies; that is, the political implications of literary form and the issue of literary realism beyond the Western modernist episteme.

Hwang explores how the current idea of affect is based on a monolithic conception of representation and meaning that leads to a certain degree of self-contradiction in its promotion as a political ...theory. Among other things, he also focuses on the close philosophical and aesthetic alliance between Deleuze and affect theory, or affect theory's repetition and re-appropriation of Deleuzian philosophy, making it necessary to investigate Deleuze's theory of potentiality in examining the political force of affect.
In her article "Said and the Mythmaking of Auerbach's Mimesis" Hyeryung Hwang revisits critical debates on Edward W. Said's unwitting participation in the mythmaking of Erich Auerbach's Mimesis and ...analyzes the degree to which critical discourse overlook what Said actually wanted to revive, namely the spirit of philological methodology. Hwang argues that before Said worked on Mimesis, the book already acquired a sort of myth. Hwang attempts to go beyond the commonly held understanding of philology and suggest it as a methodology for historical synthesis whose dialectical tension between texts and history amounts to the synthesis of "fact" and "truth."
Thinking Beyond Modernism: Peripheral Realism and the Ethics of Truth-Telling explores how various forms of peripheral realism—an aesthetic that is hugely underappreciated not just in the Western ...academy but also in postcolonial studies—envision a new cultural analysis that allows us to understand and surpass the limits of modernism. First, I probe how modernist taste, with its ahistorical emphasis on aesthetic form and subjectivity, had far-reaching global influence at the expense of what it systematically jettisoned—that is, various realist attempts to reimagine the social value of literature. I analyze the demands of Western modernist aesthetics and its influence in the making of world literature and cinema to show how peripheral forms of art resist the modernist imperative. Second, I discuss recent instances in which realism re-appears as a problem—its status after the affective turn in literary cultural theory, its advent in the peripheral vision of the metropolitan writer J. M. Coetzee’s Australian Trilogy, and its emergence as a peculiar from of “neo-realism” in literary and cinematic works from South America and South Korea—to demonstrate how authors reclaim an entirely new type of realism. De-emphasizing modernist delight in the wiles of language and skepticism about representations’ correspondence to the real, neo-realists rediscover historical agents’ ability to express their subjectivity in literary form without neglecting their own place in history. Finally, in addition to its broad geographical and political remit, the dissertation is, importantly, a study of genre. By investigating how peripheral neo-realists defend truthfulness and achieve a sober realism that understands the ethical dimension of political life as essentially collective, I argue that realism’s “fidelity to truth” is not merely an epistemological claim but an ethical attitude toward the world.
핵심역량은 평생학습시대의 토대가 되는 능력으로서 공통적이고 기본적인 삶의 능력이라고 할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 최근 핵심역량이 강조됨에 따라 그간 간과되어 왔던 성인 대학생의 핵심역량 수준을 진단하고, 관련변인을 탐색하여 그 의미와 대학 교육에 주는 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 ‘한국대학생 핵심역량 진단 시스템(K-CESA)’을 활용하여 성인 ...대학생들로 구성된 방송대 프라임칼리지 학생들의 핵심역량을 진단하였다. 진단에 응한 총 63명의 학생들을 분석한 결과, 의사소통역량은 전통적인 대학생보다 낮은 반면, 종합적 사고력은 이들보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 역량의 세부 하위영역별로 영향을 미치는 변인 또한 다양한 것으로 분석되었다. 의사소통능력과 관련 있는 변인은 연령, 학년 등이었고, 종합적 사고력과 관련 있는 변인은 성, 연령, 직업분야 등으로 나타났다. 성인 대학생을 대상으로 한 본 연구에서 연령과 직종 등 생애 경험 요소가 핵심역량 형성에 주요한 영향 요인으로 드러난 결과는 청년층의 단일 연령 중심으로 시행된 기존의 연구의 한계점을 극복하고 핵심역량 연구의 외연이 확장될 수 있는 계기를 마련하고 있다. 궁극적으로 이 연구가 성인 대학생을 포함한 대학생의 핵심역량 향상에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다. It is core competency that is universal and basic life skills in the times of lifelong learning. This study is to examine the level of core competencies of adult college students and to explore the meaning of the level using communication competency(CC) and high-ordered thinking competency(HOTC) of Korean Collegiate Essential Skill Assessment(K-CESA) 63 students from Prime College of Korea National Open University participated in the K-CESA. The results show in general that HOTC of participants is higher than that of traditional college students, while CC is lower than that of them. In addition, the relationship between age and the level of CC and HOTC is statistically significant. The results of this study imply that it is necessary that core competency of university students is understood including adult students as well as young adult students. The study is expected to ultimately contribute to the improvement of the level of core competency of college students including adult students. KCI Citation Count: 14
