<트로이>를 다시 말하다: 리더십의 양상을 중심으로 = Retelling the Aspects of Leaderships in Troy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy (2004), which was inspired by Homer’s Iliad that deals with a leader’s personality on a community’s fate, depicts America’s political and military confrontations in early 2000s. This article analyzes leadership types and characteristics of heroes in Troy: Agamemnon, Achilles and Hector. According to Joseph Nye’s concepts on power, it can be said that Agamemnon, who seeks to seize the supremacy of Peloponnesos by Troy conquest, is a hard power leader while Achilles, who seeks eternal honor, a soft power leader. Hector, a hero who fights for his nation and family, is regarded as a collectivistic hero who puts priority on community over an individual, and Achilles as an individualistic hero who fights for his own pride.
Troy depicts Agamemnon as a brutal and ruthless tyrant despite his justifying reason to regain his tarnished reputation. This shows that Troy shares position with Nye’s optimistic perspective to view that America’s soft power has higher utility than China’s hard power. And Troy depicts Hector as more ideal hero than Achilles due to the external challenges like Iraq wars and China’s threat in early 2000s. In the end, it seems that Troy suggests proper directions for individualism through Achilles’ internal change process, and Paris as the alternative and future-oriented leadership.
