Humanistic perspectives on the movie Avatar Heechae Park (Sungkyunkwan University) The movie rewrote the history of cinema by recording No.1 at the box office and received various discourse and criticism by experts in different fields. The main plot of the movie is to solve the problem of energy depletion on earth where the Resource Development Association(RDA) plans to collect mineral resource which are only obtainable from the faraway planet Pandora which intern causes conflict with the local natives ‘Na’vi’. The RDA agents finds difficulties in work places due to the poisonous atmosphere so they create a Na’vi avatar to communicate with the Na’vi. This leads to communication between the human ‘Jake Sully’ and Na’vi ‘Neytiri’. The reason this movie was a great success comes first from the breakthrough development in imaging technology and computer graphic(CG) technology. Director Cameron utilizes this technology well and succeeds in making all of his imagination come to life in a great piece of work. Also, the narrative structure related with various eastern philosophies, which interested the asian audience as if the story was their own. Avatar showed the audience the existence of the ‘avatar me’ in a virtual world, instead of ‘me’ in the real world through a medium symbolized by a ‘link’ and created a unique language of the Na’vi to realize the existence of aliens. Director Cameron said, “The real theme is to look at others with your hearts open” regarding various criticisms on Avatar. This statement by Cameron can be taken as meaning that the communication between humans and others species is imperative, and that to survive in the near future one must learn to coexist with nature. The method of communication by the Na’vi in the movie is based on understanding the harmony and the nature between energies. The bond between humans and animals, plants and all living things on earth, exchange energy with each other, which makes up nature. One can state that all species cannot survive by themselves alone but rather as a part of nature itself. The picture tries to make aware of various conflicts and the solutions that surrounds our daily lives while increasing our awareness of the future.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
