The purpose of this study is to understand the direction of 'One Book, One City' community reading campaign by analyzing the characteristics of selected books, including their classification numbers, subject headings, publication dates, and genres. An analysis of lists of 'One Book, One City' Reading Promotions Projects' available from the website of the Library of Congress, the Center for the Books, and bibliographic records of 210 books from LC OPAC, shows the preference for the recently published American literatures in the genre of Bildungsromane and domestic fiction which describe the life of people with multi-cultural or ethnic backgrounds. It is confirmed that 'One Book, One City' community reading campaign has been consistently oriented to achieve the understanding and integration of a community by reading and discussion of one book.

In the Japanese colonial period of Korean history, appropriate conclusion often overwhelmed the historical imagination, and also pointed out that it shows a similar pattern in spite of the history detective novel genre that emerged with pointing out the limitations of modern history. Historical facts showing in , the legitimacy of independence based on nationalism, and modern civilization are well known in the historical and cultural contents of the Japanese colonial period. It is the reason why applied in historical and cultural contents, as the history as is for current desire of the public to the imaginary community(nation), and as the history which current social conflicts are reflected. History, historical facts and fiction are intermingled in the contents of history, and it is creating a new 'historical imagination'. As a matter of fact, there is only one fact of the past, but the historical imagination of historical and cultural contents is diverse as there is not one historical fact made by historians. History has not yet gone to the imagination for the future, but writing history through historical and cultural contents will create a 'history of possibilities'.

The concept of 'utopia' in Korea was formed in the early 20th century. 'There isn't in this world but good world' could be found using science and it was an ideal place for science to realize in the 1900s of Korea. Utopia was emphasized as an ideal world of fantasy in the 1920s. It was an ideological world wherein socialism was realized by a purposeful science. Utopia, conversely, was the history of scientific socialism defined as past example of communism that could not be implemented but was fancied. There were works suggesting that it was a dark dystopia such as Society after 800,000 years written by H.G. Wells or Artificial Worker by Young-hee Pak, but there were implied at the will of utopia.

This study describes how Mishima Yukio applied various classical motifs in his novel, Spring Snow, to reproduce the world of "Miyabi" of the Heian era. First of all, the author's perception of Japanese culture, focusing on his various critiques and essays was studied. Based on Mishima's cultural theory, analysis revealed that Spring Snow was not based on specific works of the Heian era, but rather on the use of the story form from that era. The background of this novel was the early Taisho era. This period coincided with Japan's political transformation from military power to democracy, and miyabi, or elegance. Finally, the title of this work, "Spring Snow" is an expression found in Kinotsurayuki' Waka in Kokinshu. It represents not only the vanity possessed by the "Spring Snow" reflected in the novel, but also fascination with the beauty of Tsurayuki' Waka.

The purpose of this study is to understand the direction of the community reading campaign in the U.S.A. known as 'One Book, One City' reflected in the books selected for this campaign for the past 20 years in terms of their classification numbers, subject headings, publication dates, and genres. Analyzed are the author and state lists of 'One Book, One City' Reading Promotions Projects available from the website of the LC (Library of Congress) Center for the Books, and bibliographic records of 735 books selected in only one 'One Book' program, accessed from LC OPAC. Major findings include continuing influences of the all-time favorite 'One Book' selections, including To Kill a Mockingbird and the extension of their span of life through The Big Read, preference for the recent publications, importance of P (Literatures and Languages) Class (530 titles, 72.1%) and PS(American Literatures) subclass (307 titles, 57.9%) in the LC Classification Scheme, distribution of books in 43 genres, including domestic fiction, historical fiction, and psychological fiction, etc., the use of 535 unique LC subject headings and much interests in "City and town life" (10 titles) and "World War, 1939-1945" (8 titles), and prominence of subject groups which begin with "African American..." and "Woman..." out of 96 groups of subject headings.

The aftermath of the COVID-19 virus continues. There are two potential fears behind the various preventive and quarantine measures. : the fear that "I may be infected" and the fear that "someone may infect me". This subconscious is built on the 'imagination of infection'. This paper attempted to analyze science fiction(SF) narratives and zombie narratives that influenced our imagination of infection. And this paper attempts to examine how SF novels and movies understand and express "infection", and how zombie narratives reveal "infection" and its horror. Mary Shelley's novel "The Last Man" revealed the paradox that the fear of an infectious disease gave humanity an opportunity for reflection. The films and showed that fear and aversion to infectious diseases can lead to riots and conflict. Zombie narrative is a genre that most dramatically expresses the horror of infection. Director Yeon Sangho's zombie trilogy, including , reveals that people around you can turn into the most dangerous source of infection. Through SF and zombie narratives, we can realize that humanity must have a humble sense of solidarity, ethics, and empathy in the face of infectious diseases. Through this narrative texts, we can realize the importance of the imagination of infection. Imagination of infection is the basis for understanding the causes and consequences of the spread of infection, the process and future prospects.

스마트 전시안내는 박물관이나 전시관에서 도슨트나 큐레이터가 할 수 있는 역할과 기능을 스마트 전시공간 조성과 스마트 디바이스 및 웹/앱을 활용해서 관람객에게 제공하는 것이다. 스마트 전시안내에서는 관람객 개인마다의 에피소드가 만들어 질 수가 있고, 물리적인 전시물이 주고자 하는 내러티브를 관람객의 눈높이에 맞추어 재구성해 나갈 수 있도록 도움을 주며, 실제 전시공간을 정보적으로 확장한 가상세계에서 관람객과 전시물, 관람객과 관람객, 관람객과 소설네트워크 간의 공유관계를 형성할 수 있다. 본고에서는 스마트 전시안내 서비스 연구사례로서 대전 천연기념물센터에서 서비스 중인 '메타버스 기반 스마트 전시안내 시스템'을 분석하고 ICT 융합의 범위와 한계를 이해함으로써 박물관 전시관이 다시 찾고 싶은 문화체험 공간으로 나아갈 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

소설 데이터는 인터넷 상의 수 많은 개인과 개인의 상호 작용에 의하여 연결되어 있으며, 이러한 데이터를 분석하여, 분석 대상에 내재하고 있는 구조와 특성을 파악하는 일은 중요하다. 특히, 개인 추천을 위해서는 개별 데이터들의 관계 그래프를 활용하여 빠르고 정확하게 추천 값을 도출하는 것이 효율적이다. 하지만, 기존 추천 기법으로는 신규 사용자와 아이템이 끊임없이 등장하는 상황을 즉각적으로 반영하기가 어렵고, 또한 많은 결측값을 포함하는 sparse 한 데이터일 경우에는 추천 시스템의 연산 공간과 시간에 많은 제약이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Spark GraphX 를 활용한 개인 추천 시스템을 설계 및 개발하였으며, 이를 통하여 사용자와 아이템간에 내재하는 복합 요인이 반영된 그래프 기반 추천을 실행하여, 개인 추천 결과의 우수성을 확인하였다.

Using recently emerging quantitative methods, this article provides a comparative study of the diachronic changes in the narrations of novel, history, and science from the early 18th-century to the 20th-century. To trace the narrative changes in different genres, this article discusses how text-mining methodology can be introduced in literary studies. We compared the traces of narrative in three genres—novel, history, and science—as a pilot study, with the three major grammatical elements of narrative: pronoun, subordinating conjunction, and action verbs in past tense. The results of data-mining show that the use of pronoun and action verb has increased in the genre of novel toward the $20^{th}$ century, while history and science has developed less story-like writing styles.

In this study, we developed an AI-based system to generate sentences that assist in creating Korean poetry. Instead of replacing the creative aspect of composition, which is considered a unique domain of humans, the focus was on generating foundational sentences to enhance human imagination efficiently. By conducting interviews with poets, the researchers extracted sentences from eight distinct datasets, enabling the generation of poetry across eight different genres. This study stands out for its innovation in developing a method for crafting literary works in Korean. Its significance lies in its potential to facilitate the creation of diverse literary forms such as essays, prose, or novels.
