It has been known that deconstruction has affected various fields as literature, architecture, an, film, industrial design, and so on. Especially, deconstruction has applied into a wide scope of the design related fields through diverse ways and the results also show that there is a great potentiality in the ways of it's expression with different styles. Deconstruction design has been approached in connection with post-modernism, deconstruction theory of J. Derrida and pluralistic post industrial society. In particular, it is obvious that deconstruction philosophy has deeply affected the fields of visual design and typography which are mostly communicated with symbols and texts. This study intends to examine how the deconstruction theory has been practically applied into the typography by analyzing the change of deconstruction typographic styles and exploring the distinctiveness of the change.

involves philosophical perspectives that are different from other SF movies. This perspective was derived from that of Zecharia Sitchin, in which he tells the history of the earth and mankind from a very unique perspective. He claimed that the intelligent beings (according to Sitchen, we called them the gods) on this planet created mankind and brought them ancient civilizations. The purpose of this study is to analyze under the determination that a comparative analysis can be made between SF movies and an art genre, in the outlook that Sitchin's perspectives are under extraordinary attention of religious and academic circles and are assisting in solving many mysteries on earth with currently excavated archaeological evidences, to identify the factors of consensus between the message Sitchin wanted to convey and SF movies and find the historical perspectives of Sitchin in the cross-section between Sitchin and the narratives in .

세계 유일 책을 위한 도시이자 생태·예술이 어우러진 파주출판도시를 통해 우리가 살고 있는 도시의 의미와 가치를 돌아보고 새로운 미래를 그리는 도시·건축 다큐멘터리가 4월 21일 개봉한다. 제46회 서울독립영화제, 제12회 서울국제건축영화제 공식 초청작이자 제12회 DMZ국제다큐멘터리영화제 예술공헌상을 수상한 영화 <위대한 계약: 파주, 책, 도시> 얘기다. 이 다큐를 만든 기린그림의 김종신·정다운 감독은 앞서 <한국 현대건축의 오늘(2016)>, <한국 현대건축의 오늘: 집(2017)>과 <이타미 준의 바다(2019)>를 통해 건축과 삶, 예술혼을 영상으로 복원해 내며 관객들의 눈길을 사로잡은 바 있다. <이타미 준의 바다>는 프리 프로덕션부터 개봉까지 꼬박 8년이 걸린 작품이다. 경기 파주시 문발동 소재 국가문화산업단지인 파주출판도시는 민주화 이전 출판이 탄압받던 시절부터 출판인들이 꿈꾸던 책을 위한 도시다. 출판사들과 더불어 새로운 철학과 가치를 담은 이상적 공간, 즉 새로운 도시를 그리던 건축사들이 '위대한 계약'을 체결하면서 실현됐다. 아무도 관심 갖지 않았던 파주의 늪지는 특색 있는 건축물과 만나 심학산과 한강의 탁월한 낙조 경관을 자랑하며 세계에서 유일한, 책을 위한 생태도시가 됐다. 편집·인쇄·유통 출판 관련 인프라를 집약한 도시는 이후 영화제작사를 비롯한 영상 관련 업체들과 IT 업체들이 입주하며 종합문화예술 도시로 탈바꿈한다. 2019년 파주출판도시 기획 30주년을 기념해 도시의 발자취를 담기 위해 시작된 영화는 과거와 현재라는 두 개의 큰 축에서 진행되며 찬란한 도시의 여정을 그린다. 그러면서 건축을 넘어 우리가 살고 있는 도시를 생각해 보게 만든다.

This paper provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between cinema and Giorgio Agamben's aesthetics and philosophy. Intersecting Agamben's key concepts including gesture, mediality, biopolitics, historicity, and profanation with historical and aesthetic dimensions of cinema, I argue for his ambivalent view on cinema and visual media. On the one hand, Agamben linked cinema and visual media to his discussion on biopolitics and spectacle as he considered them as apparatus for capturing and controlling gestures. On the other hand, he also argued that cinema could restore the image with capacity to preserve and recuperate gestures based on his consideration of montage as cinema's key aesthetic and technical component (an operation of profanation) and his Benjaminian thought on the ways in which montage suspended linear flow of images and activated an alternative memory of them. Drawing on history of cinema and optical devices in the 19th and early 20th centuries as well as examples of found footages of filmmaking predicated upon stoppage and repetition of images, I argue that Agamben's concept of potentialities can be extended into his thought on cinema and visual media apparatuses in general.

Perspective of director Bong Joon-ho shown in his movies up to now had been limited to domestic issues but that in the was shifted to the world, mankind, and future of humans. Images exhibited in his movies had the same meanings of many stories in the Bible and myths. The study looks into his philosophical world through the Christian view of the world and the Oriental circulation thinking; the story of the was expressed in before the glacial period, the 17 year glacial period spent in a train, and after the glacial period; structure of the story was composed of allegory as prior to Israelites' Escape from Egypt, desert life for 40 years, and entrance to Canaan. The end in the Bible does not mean complete collapse but it contains aspiration for new heaven and new earth to open a new era, to make a new promise with the God and to live a permanent life. This study intends to interpret the developed in a quite different meaning of imagination of humans' future from the previous one by the director Bong Joon-ho and to make another different explanation underlying in the image projected on the surface layer by the director.

This paper examines the sound of Godard's <$Pr{\acute{e}}nom$ Carmen> from Deleuze's film aesthetics and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological point of view. The rehearsal scene of a string quartet is a mirror-image that illuminates the music itself, and becomes a crystal-image with the indiscernibility of the present and the past in the break with the main narrative. On the other hand, urban noise and waves are the seeds composed of pure optical (sound) images and grow into pure sound crystals that collide with what is seen through the juxtaposition, substitution, and intentional connection of sound. However, these sound contradictions also lead to the integrated sound category as a 'sole movement' through Merleau-Ponty's dialectical thought, and even the dialectical sound management of pop and classical music is no longer a confrontation of the genre, but is integrated into the materialistic category of sound. This study is differentiated from the existing research by solving the sound aesthetics of the Godard's film through philosophical thought.

Contrary to the fact that the old films contain artistic and include contemporary literature, religion, and philosophy, latest films are produced with focusing on external interesting composition and sensational scene. A good movie emotionally express the directors' topic message exuding from an interesting story, and empathize with the social agenda which shows a sharp look of the directors' on contemporary social aspect. In the movies of the Coen brothers, it seems like an entertainment movie as typical black comedy genre through irony and happening, but in fact, it inserts a lot of social problems in the film to show that they cynically express their social agenda from a contemplative view. In their movie "The Big Lebowski (1998)", it seems like they are creating comical content through the main characters' unaffected attitude. However, it is director's excellent director of the sub-text that expresses American social issues such as Vietnam war, post-modernism and an obscurantist policy and au fond the comedy about the historical facts of mass production of social maladjustment into black comedy. We expect to contribute to make a step forward in the Korea film industry by analyzing such movies that has the cultural power of influence.

In contemporary philosophy, the thinking subject became the dis-constructed subject and there was not left any one center in thinking. On the contrary of this trend, the philosopher Levinas stresses 'an ethics of Otherness' that requires the subject to be responsible for the Other. For Levinas, the Other is not knowable and cannot be made into an object of the self. For Levinas, the irreducible relation, the epiphany, of the face-to-face, the encounter with another, is a privileged phenomenon in which the other person's proximity and distance are both strongly felt. The face of the Other comes toward me with its infinite moral demands while emerging out of the trace. In the movie , when Sachie encounters them, she greets them. She provides them with food and shelter to protect from the dangers of elements. With the help of Sachia, the restaurant becomes a peaceful communal place for her and the Other.

In , music becomes a passage of spaces in dreams and at the same time causes a problem of temporality between spaces with different time speeds. This paper aims to examine the temporality of the music through Bergson's concept of time. The music used in the film, 《Non, je ne regrette rien》, is divided into the original version, the slowed-down version, and the rearranged version with the slowed-down, and this study visually confirmed the characteristics and similarities through practical analysis. From the perspective of Bergson's perception and memory diagram, non-diegetic music of the actual(the rearranged version) in which diegetic music of the virtual(the slowed-down version) inherent, plays the role of film music and music signal simultaneously. Also, the original version and the slowed-down version are the relationship of durational identity with qualitative changes. We looked at the position in the inverted cone diagram and applied their relationship to the diagram. It is a great achievement of this study that we explored the temporality of music in the multi-layered structure of , based on Bergson's philosophy of coexisting with the present and the past.
