In particular, the outbreak of Covid-19 shifts the main idea of how to control the disease. Koreans experienced repeated and cyclic outbreaks of human and animal infectious diseases since the beginning of the new millennium. The experiences reflected in the containment policy in human and animal diseases. This research is interested in a fact that the public health policy produces new vulnerable beings, which include humans(migrant and part-time workers) and non-humans(domestic and wild animals) through preventive culling and spatialized approach to contain infectious diseases. Aggressive and centralized policy outsources risks of diseases onto vulnerable beings. Although global health organizations have put forward the concept of ‘One Health’, a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to solve the problem and promote health of humans, animals and the ecosystem, it is not suffice to stop from producing those vulnerable beings. This article shows how the space-based containment has been adopted as a public health strategy, and how the vulnerabilities of humans and animals in ecosystems were intensified in the process of disease prevention even in the One Health frame.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130972808","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}

In particular, the ‘image prohibition’ claimed by Claude Lanzmann, the director of Shoah, a milestone film in Holocaust film history, had a tremendous effect on artistic work concerning the Holocaust. However, Nemes László's film Son of Saul (2015) convincingly refutes the prevalent concerns about visual representation of Shoah. It manages to reconstruct the experience of a Sonderkommando member, a key witness of the Holocaust, by the careful arrangement of the camera's views, depth of field, and sound. To do this, the director takes seriously the issues regarding the Holocaust's unrepresentability, rather than ignoring or disputing them. If Shoah cannot be portrayed, it is because Shoah is a double annihilation in that it annihilated the Jews as well as the evidences of their annihilation. The film shows how the Nazi's destruction of representability can be placed in the order of representation at the level of not only film aesthetics but also narrative.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133420898","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 results are as follows. First, teaching ethics first identified the basic characteristics of ethics required by teachers through the analysis of literature data in related fields, and then categorized them to describe the details. Second, teaching ethics integrally approached the universal teacher’s values and its practice in terms of cognitive, affective, and behavioral function. Third, as all occupational groups are currently specialized, teaching ethics is also being reinterpreted from the perspective of expert ethics. Referring to that, the following conclusions can be drawn. First, in order to establish KFL/KSL teacher’s professional ethics, it is necessary to approach from the aspects of ‘duty ethics’ and ‘utilitarian ethics’, and the specificity of KFL/KSL field should be considered. Next, its details should be described with a focus on ethical practices, and should be integrated with the universal teacher’s values(clergy, labor, and profession). Lastly, it must be practiced in a behavioral function, so an integrated approach is required.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126664703","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}

To build my own discussion, I will refer to the literary work by residents of a Hansen’s disease care center, who are also zainichi Koreans(resident Koreans in Japan) who had to remain in the care center even after the liberation from the Japanese Empire after the end of World WarII. The literary activities of two figures, Kim Ha-il and Koyama Sueko, are targets of literary analysis in this paper. I will trace a process of reconstructing their self-identification and recognition of the situation of isolation through creating tanka(Japanese poetry) and poetry. I will especially pay attention to the relationship between their own bodies and languages and how they understand their surrounding discrimination that were structured through the modern history of Japan. This paper discusses not only the internal psychological world of the two poet/poetess but also how their expressions were inevitably tangled with the environment in which they were forced to stay against their will by the government eugenic policies and societal prejudices. A goal of this paper is to get a clue from such an experience of isolation to reflect on hatred in the age of the pandemic. \u0000本稿では、2016年に起きた相模原障害者施設襲撃事件で犯人が露わにした「障害」観 とそうした考え方に対する研究者たちの警鐘を契機として、「病者」を「隔離」すること について考察する。その際に参照するのが日本帝国主義の崩壊後も日本に残らざるを えなかった在日朝鮮人のハンセン病者による文学作品である。金夏日、香山末子という 二人の文学的営為を分析の対象として、彼・彼女らが歌/詩を作るという行為を通して 再構築する自己認識と「隔離」という状況への理解を辿っていく。特に、植民地朝鮮出身 のハンセン病療養所入居者が、交差性(intersectionality)をもった構造的差別のなかで、 自らの身体と言語の関係を構築し、そして自分の「居場所」をどのように認識していっ たかを考えていく。本稿がそうした文学表現から見出したいのは、病者個人の内的な精 神世界だけではなく、病者が自身の表現を手に入れていく過程で、自身が置かれた環境 がどのように構築されたかを理解することと不可分に結びついていることである。そこ で描き出される「隔離」という現実から「パンデミック時代の嫌悪」を考える手がかりを 得ることがこの論文の目的である。","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134015736","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}

Therefore, this study focuses on Freud and Nietzsche that laughter plays the role of a doctor for humans who are sick due to the suppression of civilization to regain themselves and make them healthy. This paper first analyzes Nietzsche's and Freud's theory of laughter from the point of view of the liberation of the unconscious. To this end, we examine Nietzsche's and Freud's theory of laughter, focusing on the relationship between Nietzsche's and Freud's view of language with consciousness, and wit, a style of expression that embodies free spirit and the liberation of unconscious. Logicalizing and organizing reality is necessary for human life. However, it comes as a burden to us to standardize reality according to the law always. Sometimes logic and reason must be turned off, and if that is not possible, humans must at least rest from the concepts that suppress the life of emotions and impulses. For Nietzsche and Freud, laughter serves as a healing for humans to restore their original dynamic and spontaneous self.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117174522","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}

To examine this, I would like to borrow a discussion on the contradictory relationship between unconditional hospitality and conditional hospitality by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Geum-hee's novel “Okhwa” shows that conditional hospitality, which is considered inferior to unconditional hospitality and must be overcome in the process of advancing to unconditional hospitality, is in fact inseparable from unconditional hospitality and can play a role in leading the subject. In Jang Yul's “Duman River”, you can think about the ethical problem of hospitality in which women's lives and pain are guaranteed in realizing unconditional hospitality.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131238852","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, meanings of the Gongbubang are endlessly constructed and changed by practices of voluntary teachers. Focusing on “Daesu Kim”s experiences who had been a student and is a voluntary teacher of the Gongbubang, this study examines one process by which the student embodied meanings of the Gongbubang and another process through which the teacher have made meanings of the Gongbubang. In-depth interviews with him make this study to see the processes of changing social meanings of the Gongbubang into the scope of micro-dimension as personal experiences. This study, above all, presents that since 2000, direct political meanings are disappeared and the character of alternative education is important in meanings of the Gongbubang. And concerning on conflicts of voluntary teachers, this study argues that meanings of the Gongbubang can be constructed differently from insiders’ perspectives.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"231 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133848367","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 essay analyzes the political and economic background that led to the opening of this ‘cyber hell’ and the problem of subjectivity formed therein. To this end, it borrows Sayak Valencia's concept of gore capitalism and names the system in which violence becomes a mode of accumulating wealth in the digital media field as digital gore capitalism, and the masculinity formed as Gore Masculinity. In this case, gore masculinity refers to the concept of appropriating the subject of Endriago in Valencia's assertion to fit the Korean situation, and it refers to the use of marginalized masculinity as a resource while justifying violence. The key here is that there are consumers who consume violence, and there is an online misogyny culture at the birth of such consumers. Finally, this paper introduces the discussion of Trans Feminism as an alternative ethics to gore masculinity.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125995990","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 ecosystem of webtoons changes depending on which formats are supported and recommended by the platform. The cuttoon format introduced by the Naver platform in consideration of the increase in the number of mobile users is based on a narrative principle different from that of the existing webtoon. Cut-toon allows the reader to experience the story through the segmental unit of story called cut. These characteristics are the basis for having compatibility with existing published comics, while also having affinity with video media through the possibility of using cuts such as montages for cinematic purposes. The space for readers' comments is also segmented, creating an environment for more immediate but more conscious comment participation on the one hand. Therefore, cuttoon can be said to be an evolved form of webtoon that can provide attractive content to both readers familiar with the existing publishing and video media and those familiar with web and mobile culture. Lee Dong-gun's is a representative webtoon that adapts to the cut-toon format while retaining the charm of traditional comics and it shows narrative potential of cuttoons through the use of features of them.","PeriodicalId":443880,"journal":{"name":"Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122484161","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}
