Bernard Malamud 소설에 대한 신화적 접근 : 성배 영웅의 주제를 중심으로

나성은 建國大學校 大學院 2000 국내박사

After close examination of Malamud's four novels, it becomes obvious that combined ritual-romance of the Grail myth indeed forms the vertebrae for each novel's structure and that the mythic mode lies at the base of Malamud's "more than realistic novel." Malamud has obviously borrowed much from the Grail story; and by combining these borrowings with other fumiliar mythic motifs, as well as his personal beliefs, he has created his own fundamental myth. It is now possible to reconstruct the essential Malamudian monomyth, which is, in essence, an Initiation Rite. The typical Malamud hero has two goals: individual maturity and communal responsibility. As Malamud moves from The Natural to The Fixer, his emphasis(and subsequently my analysis) shifts from the former to the latter; throughout he concerns himself less with why social problems exist(although The Natural posits infantile stasis) and more with what can and should be done on the individual level. In all his novels Malamud focuses on the individual and his inner transformation rather than upon society's progressive ills. The hero is either an orphan or has lost his parents at such an early age as to render him almost an orphan; from the writer's point of view this motif establishes tile need for and subsequent abundance of parental surrogates. The hero is young(about thirty), having just passed tile point where it could be assumed he should have reached maturity. Put at this age the hero finds himself a failure and the past something to be forgotten; time is what Tennessee Williams calls "the enemy within us all," and responsibility(first for himself and then for others) is too large a burden to bear. Desiring a new life, the hero leaves on a journey that begins as an escape from his flawed youth rather than as a quest. Whereas the hero traverses external geography, he more importantly descends into untouched, unsought, and unknown regions of his own mind. Because the hero begins with selfish motives, Malamud often uses the image of the prison to emblematize the self-centered age as well as images of appetite to reveal the hero's search for eros instead of agape. Initially the hero's journey seems a regression rather than a progression as he meets the inevitable frustrations, and defeats that come from such false beliefs as a change of place and/or a change in name insures a change in personal fortune. Nature parallels the mental state of the hero(that is, fall=decline, winter=death, spring=rebirth, and summer=fruition) so that seasonal change suggests that personality is always forming and never static. Initially ignorant of his role but very much aware that the territory around him has become a Waste Land, the hero begins to ask questions of various father-substitutes. Although the hero encounters many fathers, they prove inadequate. There is one major father whom tile hero is destined to replace and who is a variation of the Fisher King. This figure instructs the hero in the prerogatives and duties of office and helps to purge the hero of his infantile concerns. Guidance for the hero is also provided by a predecessor, who, while having been mysteriously slain, offers the pattern of his own life ta the hero. Thus, Malamud employs a mirror within a mirror pattern in which the heroic image is reflected at the hero even as he shines as a guiding light for the remainder of society. Against this aid looms the Temptress figure or siren; offering sexual and gustatory fulfillment, she feeds the hero's appetite and turns the quest into pure egocentric satiation. Counterbalancing the Temptress figure is the multiple personality known variously as the Dame du Lac(Lady of the Lake), the Loathly Lady, and Fertility Queen. Like the father figures, she teaches that suffering is not mere personal pain but the assumption of responsibility for others and the need for heroes; she reaches the altruistic rather than egotistic nature of the hero. Basically a child of nature, she eventually copulates with the hero in this natural setting. Her predilection towards nature reminds the hero of his own innocent happiness within the confines of his rustic youth. Even the Fisher King often yearns to return to nature. Often the hero engages in some encounter within a Chapel Perilous(where there are portents of physical death) or with a tempter or Satanic figure. The hero's tutors, however, can only provide the lesson, for the experience is tile hero's, and he must choose the Grail of freedom; true freedom always includes the securing of freedom for and the responsibility towards other human beings. Thus, the hero's attainment of the Grail has two dimensions: Atonement and Ceremonial Marriage(which are actually interrelated). Atonement consists of becoming or replacing the failed father figure, the Fisher King; herein the hero is secure in the knowledge that his' father'(Malamud elaborates on this paradigm with many father and son combinations) is ill and that illness provides the source for the Waste Land. From mere replacement of the dying king in the middle two novels, Malamud moves to the hero's slaying of the father. The Ceremonial Marriage is to tile Fertility Queen(who may be already fregnant) amd thus insures the future perpetuation of fertility. Often this marriage may be replaced by the hero's assumption of paternity of the Queen's children. The twin aspects of the same act represent the hero's maturity and his acceptance of man's inevitable involvement with his fellow human being into a single community of man(politics and history), the real new life. This pattern, then, is tile essential Malamudian Grail myth. Whereas in the two early novels the quest for the Grail was more personal, representing what Joseph Campbell calls "the individual life adventured in the realization of one's inborn potential,"(147) in the last two novels Malamud explores the social significance of the Grail; more explicitly, Malamud uses the Grail myth in the later works as an exploratory vehicle to probe the depths of society for the definition of freedom. This shift represents merely an emphasis on the second goal of the individuating process t]fat lies at the heart of the Grail myth, that of the integration of the now self-aware hero into society. If "an age of science destroys myth, and the more scientific an age is, the less myth there is,"(Gotesky 525) then we have need of the myth-users such as Malamud to make us aware of our own inner resources as well as our social responsibilities. Malamud, the author, serves the same purpose for contemporary society that myth does in his novels; both remind us that in a scientific age of negativism and despair the possibilities of a heroic life, of self-renewal, and of service to mankind still exist.

서울시 소재 제로웨이스트샵 특징 및 역할 : 창업주 심층면접을 중심으로

기후변화에 관한 정부 간 협의체(IPCC)는 지구 기온이 산업화 이전 대비 1.5℃ 이상 상승한다면 자연과 인간에게 돌이킬 수 없는 피해를 발생시킬 것이라고 경고했다. 특히 IPCC 6차 보고서에서는 기후위기가 진행됨에 있어 생태계 구조 변화가 대부분 지역에서 관측되었고, 인간의 경우 물 부족·식량난·건강 악화·주거지에 많은 악영향이 발생한다고 밝혔다. 한국의 경우, ‘2020년 기후변화대응지수 61개국 중 58위, 온실가스 배출 세계 7위’로 기후악당이라는 오명을 벗지 못하고 있다. 위와 같은 비관적인 전망과 동시에 기후위기 대응에 있어 국내에서도 크고 작은 변화가 시도되고 있다. 연구자는 기후위기 문제 중 하나인 폐기물 감축 및 처리에 있어 2018년 이후 ‘제로웨이스트 운동’이 폭발적으로 성장하고, ‘제로웨이스트샵’이 증가하고 있다는 점에 주목하였다. 본 연구는 “제로웨이스트샵이 기후위기 대응에 있어 어떤 역할을 할 수 있는가?”라는 질문으로부터 시작된다. 이를 위해 서울시 소재의 제로웨이스트샵 창업주 4인과의 심층면접을 진행하였다. 더불어 제로웨이스트샵이 기후위기 대응에 있어 긍정적인 역할을 한다면, 지속가능한 제로웨이스트샵 운영을 위해 필요한 서울시·기업·시민사회의 역할을 무엇인지 분석했다. 나아가 연구자는 연구 결과를 토대로 제로웨이스트샵의 유형을 ‘변화중심형’, ‘선도중심형’, ‘확산중심형’과 같이 3가지로 구분하였다. 환경 실천에 있어 이례적으로 많은 참여자를 보인 제로웨이스트 운동과 그 중심에 있는 제로웨이스트샵의 특징과 역할을 알아보는데 본 연구의 의의가 있다. 다만 한계점으로는 제로웨이스트 산업을 선도하고 있는 창업주 일부를 인터뷰하면서, 산업 전체를 아우르는 내용을 분석하지 못하였다는 것이다. 따라서 후속 연구에서는 제로웨이스트 산업 전반을 다루는 폭넓은 분석이 이뤄져야 할 것이다. 기후위기는 건강·사회 불평등·주거 문제 등 사회 전반적인 문제로 이어질 것이다. 이에 제로웨이스트샵이 비즈니스를 넘어서 대중에게 환경 이슈에 관해 관심을 고취하고 나아가 정부의 정책과 기업의 변화를 이끄는데 본 논문이 기여할 수 있을 것이다. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) has warned that if global temperatures rise by more than 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels, it will cause irreversible damage to nature and humans. According to the IPCC 6th report, the climate crisis has led to changes in the structure of ecosystems in most regions and has caused many adverse effects on humans, such as water shortage·food shortages·poor health·housing. In the 2020 Climate Change Readiness Index, South Korea ranked 58th out of 61 countries and 7th in greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, there are some big and small changes in South Korea's response to the climate crisis. The researchers noted the explosive growth of the “Zero Waste Movement” and the rise of “Zero Waste Shops” since 2018 in reducing and disposing of waste, which is one of the climate crisis issues. This study begins with the question, “What role can Zero Waste shops play in responding to the climate crisis?” For this purpose, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with four founders of zero waste shops in Seoul. In addition, the researcher analyzed the roles of the city government, businesses, and civil society for the sustainable operation of zero waste shops if they play a positive role in responding to the climate crisis. Based on the results of the study, the researcher categorized three types of zero waste shops: ‘Change type’, ‘Trend leading type', and ‘Diffusion type’. This study has significance in exploring the zero waste movement with many participants and the characteristics and roles of zero waste shops. However, as a limitation, the researcher could not analyze the entire zero waste industry by interviewing some of the leading entrepreneurs in the zero waste industry. Therefore, this study can that the Zero Waste Shop will raise public awareness of environmental issues, and that the Zero Waste Shop will contribute to a communication channel that leads to changes in government policies and companies.

전통적인 네트워크 관리에서 볼 때 장애 모니터링 및 복구가 주요 기능으로 생각되던 시절이 있었다. 그러나 근래 들어 네트워크 관리에 대한 개념은 장애관리 보다는 가용성을 기반으로 한 장애 예방과 성능을 분석하여 네트워크 설계에 반영하고자 하는 추세로 변하고 있다. 특히 최근 들어 장애의 징후를 관리하고 네트워크 설계에 반영하기 위한 네트워크 성능 관리의 필요성이 높아짐에 따라 성능 관련 데이터들을 저장하고 관리하며, 여기에서 네트워크 관리에 필요한 정보들을 추출해 내고자 하는 요구가 증가하고 있다.$$a$$a네트워크 관리에서 성능 데이터는 그 특성 상 저장되는 데이터의 주기와 관리 대상에 비례하여 증가하며 일반적으로 대량으로 존재한다. 네트워크 관리자가 필요로 하는 정보는 분석을 위해 이 대량의 데이터로부터 Aggregate 된 정보들을 추출하며 단순 요약 및 통계가 아니라 여러 가지 조건들을 적용하여 요약된 정보이다.$$a$$a따라서 RAW 데이터를 모두 저장하지 않고도 네트워크 관리자들이 요구하는 조건이 적용된 분석 결과를 제공할 수 있는 요약 테이블을 고안해 보았다. 먼저 요약 테이블을 기존의 일/월/연이 아닌 시간대 별로 만들었으며, 여기에 기존의 분산이나 표준편차 값 대신 구간 빈도 컬럼을 추가하여 실제 사용율의 분포를 쉽게 확인할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 제안된 테이블에 대한 실효성은 실제 데이터량과 검색속도에 대해 몇 가지의 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 테이블보다 유용함을 증명하였다.$$a$$a기존의 네트워크 관리 시스템에서 성능 데이터에 대한 연구에서는 단순히 데이터를 측정하고, 수집하고 효율적으로 저장하는 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 지금은 단순히 정보를 축적하는 것 보다는 축적된 데이터를 활용하는 것에 대한 연구가 더욱 중요한 시점이다. 따라서 네트워크 관리에 있어서도 단순히 시스템을 구축하고 데이터를 저장하는 것 뿐만이 아니라, 축적된 데이터를 활용하는 방안에 대한 연구가 더욱 진행되어야 할 것이다.$$a$$a In the traditional network management, fault monitoring and fault recovery is considered as basic functions.

Therefore, I created a summary table to provide the analytical results by applying several criteria that network managers requires without saving all the raw data.$$a$$aThe existing summary table is based on the daily, monthly and yearly classification, but this summary table uses the hourly classification. Moreover, this includes the frequency column instead of the variation and deviation columns, so it will make us verify the distribution of actual use rate. The effectiveness of the suggested table was verified through some trace-driven simulations regarding actual quantity of data and search speed.$$a$$aThe existing network management system has focused on simply measuring, collecting, and effectively saving data. But, we all know that it is very crucial to focus more on the aggregate data application than simply collecting data. Therefore, in current network management, it is very important not only to construct the system and store the data, but also to develop the plans and methods regarding the aggregate data application.$$a$$a

As modern-day family system goes beyond small family and nuclear family and as single-person families become universal in advanced countries and big cities, ‘the singleton society’ is now no longer an awkward-sounding phrase. As ‘share house’ becomes diversified and more specified as a new alternative housing for single-person households, ‘themed share house’ for the socially advantaged, which responds to social questions with a profounder approach, has emerged. Theme share house has arrived as a solution for various ways of life and modes of living that crosses the boundary between family and other people in a society where family-oriented welfare is not functioning. Since socially disadvantaged people have so far been distinguished from ordinary people, never considered as making the majority but as small groups that belong to a small portion of a society, housing policy has never come up with excellent achievement. Nonetheless, the socially disadvantaged account for about 31.65% of the entire population and, considering the demographics, the number of socially disadvantaged people will increase further. So, we need to develop a type of housing where socially disadvantaged people can mix with ordinary people. In this light, the purpose of the study is to analyze the concept and characteristics of themed share house for the socially disadvantaged that responds to demographic changes, which recently emerged in Japan, demonstrate the need for housing for the socially disadvantaged in an age with diversified types of family, and understand shared housing which pursues social values as a new housing model through case analysis and development and present the possibility for further development. I investigated the three types of themed share house for the socially disadvantaged that respond to social changes: share houses for persons with disabilities, share houses for seniors, and share houses for unwed mothers. The investigations conducted for the study may be summarized as follows. The characteristics of share houses for the socially disadvantaged are divided into supply and operation and common housing. As far as supply and operation are concerned, I have identified the detailed characteristics of operation in the different categories of planning and site analysis. Planning in turn divides into purpose of planning, planning process, organization, difficulty involved in recruiting residents and operating the housing, success and failure of planning, and suggestions for detailed analysis. Themed share houses for the socially disadvantaged need the same support as ordinary facilities for the socially disadvantaged through the government’s expansion of systems and plans. Furthermore, the public perception of the socially disadvantaged should be revised through education and public awareness campaign. As far as site analysis goes, it splits into site conditions and architectural characteristics for detailed analysis. Site conditions split into three categories: area that includes common elements related to theme, residential area, and commercial area. The common element of Ikotto was suitable for garden place and that for COCO was suitable for hospitals, while that for parenting home was suitable for education. As for their architectural characteristics, the share houses for the disabled showed greater importance in public area for disabled persons and in private area for non-disabled persons, whereas share houses for seniors registered similar importance in public and private areas. And share houses for unwed mothers laid great store on public area. The characteristics of common housing are classified into general characteristics, economic characteristics, physical characteristics, social characteristics, and psychological characteristics to identify the detailed characteristics of its operation. General characteristics are subcategorized into the demographic characteristics of residents and factors considered by residents in selecting share houses for analysis. The characteristics of common housing are categorized to perform an in-depth analysis of the changes in the residents’ motive to move in and their satisfaction, based on questionnaire. Based on the findings about the characteristics of the supply and operation of themed share houses for the socially disadvantaged and the characteristics of common housing, I want to propose expandable development. Share House Ikotto for the disabled people is limited to persons with intellectual disability, which is classified into 15 types according to Disabled Person’s Welfare Act. By categorizing into type of persons with disabilities who can be on their own, degree of disability etc, we need to get a distinctive floor plan that reflects the characteristics of persons with disabilities, developed for a share house for persons with disabilities according to the characteristics of disabled people and regional characteristics. The share houses for seniors require a variable space plan which can respond to various lifestyles and lifecycles. The share houses for unwed mothers should consider the fact that unwed mothers can hardly get a job after their childbirth. So, a plan that provides unwed mothers with job opportunities as well as housing through partnership with regional SMEs that have difficulty finding job seekers would forge coexistence between regional SMEs and unwed mothers. Keywords: shared housing, single-person household, socially disadvantaged people, ordinary share houses, themed share houses.

As the economic development and sociocultural change have triggered a wider international exchange, the tourism industry has attained a remarkable growth. So there is a need to build a full-scale tourism system to attract more foreigner tourists. This necessity is followed by another need for English education for foreigner tourist, since producing competent personnels by the tourism-related education institutes can make a big contribution to creating the greater demand for tourism with quality services. The purpose of this study was, accordingly, to suggest more successful, desirable Tourism English Teaching Methods, by making a theoretical review on the relevant teaching methods and earlier studies and executing differences of student satisfaction level with each type of Tourism English Teaching Methods in university. For that purpose, the following attempts were conducted: First, make theoretical researches on Tourism English Teaching Methods used in university. Second, see if the typical Tourism English Teaching Method and communication-centered one give different satisfaction. Third, find out whether the type of Tourism English Teaching Method makes any differences to general student satisfaction. Fourth, examine if student satisfaction is different according to demographic characteristics. Finally, make an empirical analysis of whether student satisfaction with the communication-centered one varies with demographic variables. The practical analysis from 1 April to 20 May, 2001, which is the period I conducted my survey with students whose major is Tourism in Colleges and University in Busan. The sample was random and available sample was limited to 334. The frequency analysis, the factor analysis, the reliability analysis, the regression, the ANOVA and the t-test was made using the SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Windows)/PC+ Version 10.0 package. As a result, the communication-centered teaching method was found to be more realistic and effective than the existing grammar-centered education. In the future, more successful educational method that actually deals with every possible situation that might take place in practice should be utilized to meet the tourism industry's need.

부계(夫系) 가족 내 노인 '보살핌'과 여성 경험에 관한 연구

나성은 이화여자대학교 대학원 2003 국내석사

본 연구는 여성들이 결혼을 통해 접하게 되는 부계(夫系) 가족 내에서 자신에게 기대되어지는 역할로서의 노인 보살핌을 어떻게 경험해 왔으며, 그러한 경험이 여성들의 삶 속에서 어떤 방식으로 의미화되는지에 대한 관심에서 비롯되었다. 장남 및 외아들과 결혼함으로써 선택의 여지없이 시부모와 함께 살게된 여성들의 보살핌 경험을 통해, 그들이 가족 내에서 스스로를 어떻게 위치시키며 노인 보살핌을 정의하고 있는지, 이러한 과정에서의 갈등 및 협상은 어떠하며 이를 통해 새롭게 구성되는 보살핌의 가능성은 무엇인지 파악하고자 하였다. 우리 사회 전반에 걸친 변화의 흐름 속에서 가족을 둘러싼 환경 역시 급속하게 변화되어 오면서, 현재 중년기에 속하는 여성들은 삶의 오랜 기간을 가족에 대한 보살핌을 제공하면서 살아왔음에도 불구하고 정작 자신의 노후 문제에 관해서는 자녀들에게 의존하기 어려운 상황에 놓여있다고 할 수 있다. 결혼을 통해 관계맺게 된 시부모에 대해 맏며느리 혹은 외며느리로서 시부모에 대한 의무를 우선시하고 그들과 함께 살면서 보살핌을 제공해 온 여성들은, 부계 중심적으로 운용되는 가족 내에서 며느리의 위치에서 비롯하는 갈등을 경험하게 된다. 그러나 부계를 중심으로 한 효 이데올로기의 영향 하에 있는 여성들이 선택하게 되는 협상 방식에는 한계가 존재하게 되는데, 부계 중심적 가족에 대한 근본적인 거부가 불가능하기 때문이다. '며느리'에게 요구되는 보살핌의 강도와 일방성으로 인한 갈등 상황에서, 여성들은 시부모에게 직접적으로 대응하거나 대개는 그들과의 심정적 거리두기를 통해 문제 상황을 무마하려고 한다. 혹은 스스로를 남편과 마찬가지로 시부모의 자식으로 의미화하기도 하는데, 이러한 과정에서 딸로서의 정체성과 며느리로서의 정체성이 경합하게 되면서 친밀함의 문제에 대해 재고하게 된다. 여성들은 자신을 미래의 노인으로 바라보면서 그들에 대한 연민을 느끼게 되며, 향후 자신이 노인이 되었을 때 자녀와의 관계, 특히 며느리와의 관계를 어떻게 구성해 갈 것인가 고민하게 된다. 자녀 세대에게서 자신이 시부모에게 제공했던 것과 같은 형태의 마음씀을 기대하기 어렵다고 생각하는 여성들은 가족 내에서 '보살핌'의 기능이 그 형태와 내용상의 변화에도 불구하고 지속되고 있는 현실에서 상호 간의 애정과 친밀함을 통해 보살핌의 대상과 주체 간의 갈등을 줄일 수 있을 것이라 생각한다. 또한 의존적인 노인상에서 벗어나 사회 변화에 적응할 수 있는 노인의 모습을 갖추게 되기를 희망하는 동시에 그러한 준비가 더 이상 선택이 아님을 깨닫고 자녀와의 관계를 독립적으로 형성하고자 한다. 여성들은 자신이 속한 가족의 틀 자체를 거부하지는 못하더라도, 나름의 협상 과정을 거치면서 보살핌의 의미를 변화시키고자 한다. 중년기의 여성들은 노인 보살핌에 전제된 부계 중심성에 문제제기하고, 그들의 부정적 경험을 자녀에 대한 태도 변화를 통해 보살핌의 새로운 모습을 만들어가고 있다고 할 수 있다. 노인 보살핌을 경험한 중년기의 여성들은 세대 간의 생활 방식에서의 문화 차이를 이해하려고 하고, 독립적인 삶을 위한 준비로서 경제력과 건강 문제에 관심을 갖는다. 이와 같은 가족 내 노인 보살핌에 관한 여성들의 태도 변화와 자기 성찰 과정을 통해 현재의 가족 구조 및 기능의 변화가 시대의 흐름에 편승한 젊은 세대들에 의해서 가능했던 것만은 아니라는 것을 알 수 있다. 물론 여성들의 독립적인 노후에의 상상과 현실적 조건 사이에는 괴리가 존재한다. 주부로 살아온 여성들의 삶에는 여전히 아들과 남편의 존재가 적지않은 영향력을 끼치고 있으며, 노인으로서의 삶에 대한 바람이 공허하게 될 가능성을 배제하기 어렵기 때문이다. 따라서 취약한 노인의 삶에 대한 제도적 지원이 보완되어야 하는 동시에, 노인 보살핌에 관한 가족 구성원 간의 문제 의식 공유를 통해 갈등 상황을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 '며느리'로서 부계 가족 내에서 노인 보살핌을 담당해 온 여성들의 경험을 통해 그들이 변화시키고 있는 보살핌의 양상을 파악하고, 그것이 여성의 일로 규정되는 문제 이전에 사회적 규범으로서 부계 가족에 대한 며느리의 일로 적용되는 것에 대해 문제제기 하였다. 시부모-며느리 간에 '의무'가 강조될 때 그 관계는 보살핌을 담당하는 여성에게 갈등을 유발하게 되며, 이는 노인에 대한 부정적 감정으로 표출되기 쉽다. 그러나 노인 보살핌이 이루어지는 가족 내에서의 부계 중심성을 완화하려는 여성들의 인식 변화와 노력을 통해, 세대를 거치면서 보살핌의 내용과 형태 역시 변화하고 있음을 알 수 있다. This study begins from such inquiries as how women experience elderly care as their expected role in Korean patriarchal family and by what sorts of features women's experiences are made up in their life. Through the experience of women who have lived with their parent(s)-in-law unwillingly because they married the eldest or only son, this study aims to understand the position of women who are daughters-in-law in patriarchal family, the definition of elderly care that women think, the matter of conflicts they experience, the process of negotiation they choose, and the possibility of re-organized elderly care. While the circumstances surrounding the family system have changed rapidly in the whole transformation of Korean society, it is difficult for women in middle age to expect caregiving by their children in comparison with their experience they have cared for/about family members. Women may face conflicted situations as a daughter-in-law having priority to duties for their parent(s)-in-law and caring for/about them. But there is a limitation in the process women can choose because it is impossible for them to deny the patriarchal family system thoroughly. Undergoing the conflicts caused by intensity and unilaterality of caring, women quarrel with their parent(s)-in-law directly, become indifferent to them, or behave intimately like their real daughter. During the process they cope with, women rethink the problem of intimacy identifying themselves as a daughter-in-law as well as a daughter. Regarding themselves as the old, women have an affection to elders who they care and think about the future relationship with their children, especially daughter-in-law. Women think that they can't be given caregiving by their children equal to the extent they have provided to their parent(s)-in-law and that they may reduce the conflicts through affection and intimacy between care-giver and care-receiver in the family where the function of caring continues to be exist even if its form and contents are changed. And women hope to adapt themselves to the social change and want to make relationship with their children independent. Although middle-aged women can't deny the patriarchal family system, they try to make the meaning of caring change. They point out the problem of patriarchism in the family, and contribute to build up a new type of caring overcoming their negative experience. Women, who have cared for/about the old, try to understand the cultural differences between generations and have concerns about well-being and condition of their health. It is possible to guess middle-aged women's contribution to change the function of the patriarchal family. Undoubtedly separation remains between women's hopeful imagination and actual condition. In fact, the existence of husband and son may be influential to women because they have little resource as a housewife. Consequently, to reduce the conflicts in the family, it is necessary to not only support the old but also share with the problem on elderly care. This study is to investigate care work which has been changed by women who have cared for/about elders in Korean patriarchal family and to point out the problem of the social norm that caring is a daughter-in-law's role in the family. Emphasizing duties laying between parent(s)-in-law and daughter-in-law, their relationship is apt to cause conflicts each other. Furthermore, daughter-in-law's emotional status is likely to be expressed directly and negatively. Anyway, it is seen that the contents and form of elderly care have been changed due to women's efforts to dismantle patriarchism in the family where caring is made up.
