Prince Marcassin Madame d'Aulnoy's variant of Straparola's The Pig King may seem like a simple repetition or an imitation, but one should also take into consideration that these works though simple they may seem are representations of the ideals of an era. The act of rewriting, especially concerning fairy tales, should be taken seriously since it may even effect future ideals as this study will demonstrate. This study will examine and compare Straparola’s The Pig King from the Renaissance period and Madame D’Aulnoy’s Prince Marcassin from the seventeenth-century France. The object of this study is to analyze the sociocultural basis represented in the two texts aforementioned by comparing the similarities and the differences. Both texts are based on the representation of a figure who is mocked by everyone till he eventually accepts the transformational process through which he attains the status of an actual Hero. The theme of metamorphosis was a common topic in classical writings and largely replaced religious and mythic themes. Straparola utilizes the topic of metamorphosis in his writing to liberate his society from the grips of religion, while Madame d'Aulnoy uses it as an escape valve from the standardized social order of the 17th century. Madame d'Aulnoy’s narratives are based on causality representing the needs of the readers of the period while Straparola’s narratives tries to exclude the causality if possible. Difference in the two narratives denote the different sociocultural environment in which the texts were formed and written. Madame d'Aulnoy’s readers dreamed of a society free from the dominant monarchy, and Madame d'Aulnoy’s Prince Marcassin which is a fictional history addressed these very needs of the readers. While Prince Marcassin addressed the issues concerning rationality as an ideal, The Pig King remained as simple wonderful stories. In this sense, both authors are representative of their respective era and though very different is very much alike.

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.
