First, 'xingjuan(行卷)', 'tongbang(通榜)', 'tongyou(同遊)', and 'shiyan(詩宴)' were examined regarding the formation of society through poetry and political relationships among writers. Second, with the theme of ‘multi-cubic of love', how people create a 'semantic space' through giving-and-answer poems and how they develop a dedicated 'channel' are analyzed. Third, under the theme of 'intersection' between art and practical culture, various reactions when giving-and-answer poems collide with practicality are analyzed. Finally, the idea of how to apply the various practical functions and social and cultural meanings of gift-and-answer poetry as a mutual communication system in our lives and societies are considered. The ways communication can be accepted as a culture and ‘gift-giving poetry’ can be developed into the conditions and possibilities for living art are examined from the viewpoint of truth, goodness, and beauty.","PeriodicalId":221681,"journal":{"name":"Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Literature Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125701662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the intertextuality can be differentiated and graded according to the degree of intensity of the intertextual reference. Jenny Erpenbeck’s novel The End of Days in which quoted passages from various texts such as literature, the Bible, the Talmud, earthquake records, and song lyrics are inserted throughout has a high level of intertextuality, and this paper analyzes the intertextuality between this novel and Majakowski’s Secret of Youth. The intertextuality between these two works functions in a way of synecdoche. Erpenbeck actively utilizes preceding text in her novel by bringing the discourse structure of the poem into the novel to compose the character's remarks or by translating the poem into prose. The passages in which Majakowski’s phrase is quoted show the process of forming a multi-layered semantic structure through intensive repetition.","PeriodicalId":221681,"journal":{"name":"Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Literature Studies","volume":"356 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129217277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because people's cultural interests and tastes had diversified and increased. Therefore, the publishing world turned its attention to foreign literature and publications and began to translate foreign literature extensively. Until the early 1820s, translations were extremely rare. However, German writers and intellectuals migrated abroad due to censorship, leading to the shrinking of the German-speaking publishing culture. This contradictory phenomenon led to the growth of the translation industry in Germany, and the activities of translation factories were particularly active.","PeriodicalId":221681,"journal":{"name":"Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Literature Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124905236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After only a year, Abdullah Qadiri published the first modern novel in the Uzbek language, “Bygone Days” (1925), and soon after released “Scorpion from the Altar” (1928), which decried the regime of Khudayar Khan and his Sart officialdom. However, it is difficult to fully assess the 19th century, which laid the foundations of the modern Uzbek language and national identity, from the perspective of a radical Jadid-socialist view. Therefore, this research intends to re-evaluate the ethnolinguistic identity of Sart writers through their literary achievements. Firstly, it discusses the origin of the words “Sart” and “Tajik” to clarify the ethnolinguistic distinction between Sarts and the other Turkic peoples. Finally, it sheds new light on the legacy of Sart literature still visible in modern Uzbek literature.","PeriodicalId":221681,"journal":{"name":"Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Literature Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126404544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As this century is called 'the real age of propaganda for the crusade,' some writings including late Middle English romances and chivalric treatises stress the justice of the crusades and urge people, in particular, the knights, to action. Chaucer, who was in a precarious position at court and had a perfect understanding of the crusades deeply embedded in the knights' mind, adds two real crusaders in The Canterbury Tales: the Knight and his son, the Squire. While eulogizing crusading as an admirable pursuit of the knight, Chaucer does not ignore a natural contradiction between the brutal violence or killing that military campaigns required and the religious motivation of converting the infidel into Christianity. Such an ambivalence is revealed implicitly in his portrait of the Knight as well as in The Knight's Tale.","PeriodicalId":221681,"journal":{"name":"Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Literature Studies","volume":"87 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133787797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first person and the main character of each two short-story portrays vividly the inner world of themselves through the ‘five senses’, especially the ‘sense of touch’ and the ‘sense of sight’. Furthermore, the utilization of ‘sense of touch’ and ‘sense of sight’ have the feature of the medium of the narrator to understand other people.

Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein can be read in terms of what these ontological thinkers say.

He took important theatrical works and developed them into his own immortal theatrical works. Selmours, Les deux Hommes and Letellier were advanced but were not finished. He failed to be a comic playwright because of his too much literary ambition, the change of literary circumstance and viewer's taste, and the lack of literary genius.
