웃음과 실용주의의 관점에서 본 애니 프루와 성석제의 작품비교
남승숙 ( Sung Sook Nam ) 한국현대영어영문학회 2013 현대영어영문학 Vol.57 No.4
The purpose of this paper is to compare two short stories, American writer Annie Proulx`s "People in Hell Just Want a Drink of Water" and Korean writer Sung Suk-je`s "Thus Spoke Hwang Man-kuen,” in terms of their use of humor and approach to the theme of pragmatism. Both writers reveal a contradictory social order through laughter and use laughter to attack and disrupt what they perceive as a misguided history of artificial conventions. However, the characteristics of their laughter differ with each rooted deeply in the traditional culture of the respective society. Proulx uses tragic laughter to deconstruct fixed ideas, whereas Sung applies a comic approach. The differing ideas held by the two societies on the matter of pragmatism appear to control the way of life for characters in the two works. Proulx`s character Ras is taunted and ostracized by people in his town because his ideas and behavior are abstract and idealistic rather than practical, whereas Sung`s character Hwang Man-kuen is mocked and ignored because his talents are merely practical, without possessing the “gentility” of Confucian ideas.

남승숙 ( Sung Sook Nam ) 한국영미문화학회 2009 영미문화 Vol.9 No.1
Brokeback Mountain deals with the love story between two homosexuals named Ennis and Jack. They never do use the word `homosexual` but instead `love.` They hide their love into the closet. And they conform to socially constructed gender roles. It is because they recognize that social order has punished the homosexuals severely through history. Especially, Ennis fears the homophobic heterosexual gaze. Through his paranoia, this article examines the conventional contradictory social order causing by the tragic story that is the homosexual "closet phenomenon." Such a phenomenon has resulted from the traditional patriarchal family system that is the central unit of society. Conventionally, patriarchy consists of a dominant male and non-dominant female system, based on force. Sexuality has been constructed, experienced, and understood in culturally and historically specific ways. Homosexuality has been imaged conventionally as a female disguised as a man. As such, homosexuality would violate and break such a constructed system that keeps the sexual hierarchy through male dominant construction. As homosexual, ironically with macho gender personas, Ennis and Jack are social outsiders. Through this story, Proulx suggests the conventional fixed social order is contradictory and, therefore forces the readers to re-consider the world and ponder about the future.
앨리스 먼로의 타자 담론: Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage를 중심으로
남승숙 ( Sung Sook Nam ) 한국영미문화학회 2015 영미문화 Vol.15 No.2
This paper seeks to demonstrate ``a discourse of others`` in Alice Munro``s Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage. A discussion of Others has proved useful in the anti-foundationalist movements of poststructualism, postcolonialism, postmodernism, and feminism. In those disciplines, the discourse is socially and historically rooted in the false dichotomy of the binary structure and construction of dualism. In this case, the concept of ‘others’ is concerned with aspects of inferiority - those of whom are marginalized by racism and/or their gender in a social and cultural context. Critics argue that the enthusiastically feminist and post-colonial readings tend to ignore the formal characteristics of Munro’s stories, thus characterizing her writing as ‘genre-blind’. As a short fiction writer, Munro, positioning herself in the world of minor literature, is free from mainstream or other contemporary issues. Her writings are not embodied in, or by, great causes and important social issues, but in the ordinary lives of middle class people. Likewise, the discourses of others in her works are also different from ones of the mainstream. Munro’s ‘others’ for example, like ageing, can be ‘everybody’ when the person or people in question happen to experience alienation and are thus excluded. Munro``s story requires the reader to understand the discourse of others as one and everybody``s own discourse, therefore, it is possible to view her approach to those discourses as individually, psychologically, and socially delicate.
[서평] 이종문 저 『Edgar Allen Poe의 단편소설연구』에 관한 서평
남승숙(Nam, Sung-sook) 한국영어독서교육학회 2021 ENGLISH READING AND TEACHING Vol.6 No.1
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence Korean secondary EFL teachers’ decision making during lesson planning for a hypothetical class. A total of 146 English teachers in middle and high school were surveyed, and the data were analyzed using frequency analysis, factor analysis, t-test and ANOVA. The results show lesson objectives, the contents, ways to assess, teaching experiences, and learners’ proficiency are highly considered when the teachers choose task types to design a certain class. Also, whether there are some differences depending on school types and teaching experiences are discussed. Therefore, it suggests a different approach to task-based language teaching practice at school as well as a focus change in future research in spite of some limits of the present research.
Close Range: Wyoming Stories as a ‘New Determinism’ Novel
남승숙 ( Nam Sung-sook ) 한국현대영어영문학회 2016 현대영어영문학 Vol.60 No.3
This paper looks at Annie Proulx’s Close Range: Wyoming Stories, collection of short stories in the context of determinism. Almost of Proulx’s characters are failures caused by their environment, their fixed mind, and overarching social order. Traditional naturalism novel usually relates man’s destiny with instinct, heredity, and natural environment but the fatal destiny of Proulx’s characters is caused by artificial order of the closed system rather than natural environment. This paper considers three kinds of determinants inflicted onto the residents in Wyoming. Firstly, it discusses geographical determinism, particularly the frantic weather and dangerous landscapes that affect the denizens. Secondly, it considers the idea of fixed mind or blind belief that traps the characters. Thirdly, it considers the barriers that keeps society from improving towards a free and open place. Social order centered on the dominant classes in the closed system does fatal harm to the minorities and the different. This paper also alludes to Proulx’s message for hope for the future.

This essay explores Alice Monro s strategies for pondering through the mystery and the aporia appearing in her short story The Love of a Good Woman. The Love of a Good Woman contains many mysteries not only in the outward story but also in the inner plot. Monro’s mystery is completely different from the traditional narratives, in which the veil is gradually revealed as the narrative progresses, gradually heading toward a labyrinthine process, and ultimately remaining unresolved. These mysteries reach an aporia in which evidence and disproving appear at the same time. The mystery and aporia the protagonist faces are also applicable to universal humans. In this fiction, Monro uses mystery and aporia as strategies in which all humans must constantly ponder over to make their way without a guide in an ambiguous reality.
