Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games Trilogy draws a lot of attention from the public. Among them, the first novel Hunger Games, filmed in 2012, shows the world of young adult literature through the relationship between violence and body. In particular, this novel puts an emphasis on the effect of violence conducted by the government or a nation, revealing the meaning of controlled adolescent bodies. Panem as a new-born nation has imperative and categorical power on its people. Its control power is phenomenal enough to classify the nation into 12 districts so that Capitol, their government, fully dominates them all. Such divisions reveal strategic confinement mechanisms to control the whole nation. Furthermore, they make a random choice of a boy and a girl out of every district to compete against other boys and girls in the most popular TV show, The Hunger Games. The governmental power for control is so huge that people cannot evade the shackle of their government. The comparison between haves and have-nots is abnormally apparent as if the relationship between two extremes looked like the one between puppets and humans. The rule of the game entitles winners to take it all. However, the only way to be a winner is tremendously deathward since they must kill each other by the time when the last survivor is left. Who the last survivor will be is of importance to show a certain possibility to stop adolescents’ joining in those nonsensical games. Even though the government wields controlling power and operates a panopticon to confine the adolescent bodies, Katness and Peeta overcome the limitation of the Hunger Games. It is possible that there will come a day when their dignity as humans is restored.

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.
