Rooted in the work of Pierre Bourdieu, the cultural intermediaries have recently developed as a focus of attention for the Anglo-saxon sociology of culture and cultural studies. This paper tries to critically examine the debate around the definition and role of cultural intermediaries. It also explores the applicability of the notion ‘cultural intermediaries’ to a changing digital mediascape. In the first part of the paper, I clarify the critical problematics inherent in the Bourdieusian conception which focuses on the function of cultural intermediaries for the ‘production of the belief’ in cultural goods. Consequently, I draw attention to the mediation and transformation process of ‘legitimate culture’ by critics in mass media as ‘new cultural intermediaries’. In the second part, I attempt to constitute a typology of cultural intermediaries, proposing the notion of ‘on-line cultural mediation’ and ‘on-line cultural intermediaries’. I also outline the characteristics of three different types (‘traditional’, ‘new' and 'on-line') of cultural intermediaries. I argue this new conception of cultural intermediaries can help to understand the complex power relations and their transmutation in various cultural fields under digital environment.

As the use of ICT became a part of daily social life, online community has emerged as a new type of social organization. Online community is a virtual space which enables many people to participate and contribute together to collective knowledge. Anonymity in online communities can encourage active social participation by people with various social constraints, however, anonymity can also lead to serious social pathology. As a result, it is necessary to study on what is fundamentally influencing human behavior and how people's behavior is controlled in anonymous online community. This study focuses on human identity and investigate the factors affecting human behavior control in anonymous online environment by examining various aspects of identity in online discussion community. This study empirically verifies the causal relationship between factors, including social & technical anonymities, various identity dimensions, intrinsic motivation to participate in the community, group norm conformity, and quality of discussion. It also analyzes the difference between groups by the level of anonymity, gender, age, community usage period, and discussion topic. Based on the findings, this research provides theoretical and practical implications for online community management strategies and a better culture on Internet discussion.

Modern society is operated based on the internet, wireless networks, and digital devices to the extent that it is called a digital society. In particular, as most of financial transactions, information movement, and commercial activities are based online, various social problems and side effects related to this are increasing rapidly. Representative examples include industrial espionage activities and leakage of industrial technology, and social problems such as illegal goods trade such as drugs using online and online gambling are increasing to a serious level. These digital-based social problems cannot be solved only by the activities and capabilities of judicial institutions such as police and prosecutors. Now that the private investigation market is open, active intervention using them is necessary. To this end, it is necessary to actively cultivate private investigator's ability to investigate and collect evidence in relation to digital social and criminal problems. In addition, each private investigation education institution or association should actively invest and research this.

This study explores the patterns of the self-expression in terms of sharing the diverse pictures according to SNS use focused on the social relationships, and the effects of the diverse online activities on the off-line activity. The study results show that the more SNS use focused on the social relationships, the more sharing the diverse pictures in SNS as a tool of the self-expression. It also shows that the more SNS use focused on the social relationships and the more sharing the pictures with friends, the more active in off-line activity. Both of online and off-line network activities have the statistically significant positive effects on the life satisfaction, which implies that the more active in online and off-line network activities, the higher the life satisfaction.

최근 전 세계가 COVID-19 팬데믹을 겪으면서 실세계 속 사회 및 문화 활동이 온라인 등 비대면으로 옮겨지며 비대면 사회활동 및 가치 창출을 위한 메타버스 플랫폼들이 생겨나기 시작하고 이들의 사회적 파급력 및 가치가 높아지고 있다. 메타버스 플랫폼에서 수행되는 사회 및 문화 활동의 가치가 높아짐에 따라 메타버스 플랫폼은 해커에게 '저비용 고효율'적인 공격 대상이 되어 메타버스의 안전성 및 보안성 이슈가 화두가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 메타버스 플랫폼을 대표하는 'ZEPETO^TM', 'Roblox^TM', '어스2^TM' 등의 메타버스 플랫폼에서 발생한 보안사고의 공격 지점 및 연관된 공격 체인을 조사하고 메타버스를 구성하고 있는 핵심 시스템 요소에 대한 위협벡터를 도출하였다. 본 연구 수행에서 활용한 방법론은 메타버스 플랫폼뿐만 아니라 신규 소프트웨어 기반 플랫폼이 출시될 때의 위협벡터를 도출하고 그에 따른 보안대책 수립을 위한 활용으로 사용될 수 있다.

This research investigates on relationships between game experience and its positive effects by using social self-efficacy measurement. When playing MMORPG, game users communicate with each other and go through various social experiences. Thus, online game offer a virtual place where we can have social interactions and it eventually expands our daily life. In this study, we used regression analysis to explore how online game experiences influence social self-efficacy. The results indicated that a group with higher frequency game use presented higher social self-efficacy. We suggest future researches and discussions focusing on the positive effects of game use rather than negative issues and game restrictions.
