  • The main purpose of this study is to understand social role of the photography. The photography makes the people do not deviate from social discipline. In this meaning, the photography is a surveillant of the society. Especially, this study examines the social role of the photography at the European society in 19th century. In order to accomplish the above purpose of this study, the oppressive and honorific functions of photography are investigated. The result of this study is described as follows. First, the surveillance through photography extends its areas to everyday life of the people. Second, the development of technology releated to photographic image produces new types of surveillance. Third, the photography presents the images of model persons and the photography makes the people follow this images.

  • Brown-alga-derived natural agent NX42, mainly composed of algal polysaccharides and phlorotannins, showed mild but dose-dependent inhibition of acetylcholinesterase with $IC_{50}=600-700\;{\mu}g/mL$. Phlorotannin-rich fraction of NX42 showed substantial increase of the activity by more than one order of magnitude ($IC_{50}=54\;{\mu}g/mL$) and significant protection of SK-N-SH cells from oxidative stress by $H_2O_2$. Learning trials of mice for 5 consecutive days revealed electric-shock treatment during learning period significantly retarded learning process, whereas NX42-treated mice showed significant resistance against leaning deficiency possibly mainly due to anticholinesterase and neuroprotective activities of phlorotannin.

COVID-19 Pandemic Era, Practice Style for Ethical Life in Individualistic Society: Focusing on Foucault's 'care of the self' (코로나19 팬데믹 시대, 개인주의 사회의 윤리적 삶을 위한 실천양식: 푸코의 '자기 배려'를 중심으로)

  • The purpose of this study was to derive ethical life skills in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic from the 'care of self' that Foucault highlighted in . Care of self extends to the relationship one has with oneself and one with others. care of self is a practical ethic that realigns relationships with others and changes society through self-transformation. This study tried to derive specific practices for a life of care of self that individuals can realize against another rule of neoliberalism. Its specific practice style is keeping one's distance from dominant thoughts, forming oneself through practice and writing of subjective thinking, practicing knowing in everyday life, and practicing 'looking down'. These modes of self-care include the other and the world into consciousness in self-examination and transformation. Therefore, through care of self, individuals in the pandemic era can be reborn as members of society who change their lives while building a self-centered life that is faithful to themselves.

A Study on the Outside of Discourse from the Views of Foucault and Bakhtin (푸코와 바흐친을 통해 바라본 담론의 바깥)

  • This study has a key assumption that 'characteristics of discouse can be found in not its inside, but its outside'. The prism through which we can see those characteristics was provided by Foucault and Bakhtin who were introduced in the study. As an effort co probe the outside of discourse, the study is briefed 'the three attributes of discourse' that were suggested by Foucault First, discourse has the principle of selection and exclusion, which is based on power relations. Second, discourse is not transparent at all since it is always offensive towards other discourses and defensive against selected ones Third, discourse which is naturally accepted because of its dailiness had a deep structure secretly hidden in it. Based on the above attributes, Foucault and Bakhtin paid their attention to the outside of discourse. Specifically, they considered discourse fundamentally and went beyond it, and reflected the procedures of discourse. This study focused on 'Socrates', something common in the two scholars' works with discourse. In dealing with discourse, Bakhtin started with 'Socratic dialogue' that is based on the dialogic nature of human thoughts which purse the truth. For Foucault, it was Socrates who had the 'courage to cell the truth' and practiced 'self-consideration'. According to Foucault, the ethics of self-practice originated from the philosopher. The ethics is neither the precise representation of individual life that is withdrawn towards the inner self, nor the skills of happiness. It is just relational and cross-sectional. For a better understanding, this study pointed out that Kafka created a variety of 'dialogic voices' focusing on the outside of discourse. Dialogues found in his writings are 'interminable dialogues' that truly 'communicate with different times and different spaces'. For example, his novel, 'Der Prozess' opens the possibility of discussing in various ways the court which is look beyond conventions and extraordinary. Kafka's novels have a structure that their starting point found at the introduction reappears at the termination, presenting multi-vocal dialogues.

  • High quality of purified alginate and fucoidan is required for the medical uses to prevent the unexpected side effects from the contaminated endotoxin present in the materials. We attempted to establish an efficient and fast mass scale production method for the highly purified poly-G alginate from the sea weeds. In addition, lab scale method was established to obtain the fraction of higher purity from the commercially available fucoidan source (about 85% purity).

  • 최근 포스트휴머니즘은 오늘날 북아메리카와 서유럽을 비롯하여 동아시아 학문 공동체에서 가장 뜨거운 화두가 되고 있다. 포스트휴머니즘은 4차 산업혁명의 핵심인 NBIC기술의 융합으로 사유와 논의가 가능해진 개념이다. 포스트휴머니즘는 기존의 휴머니즘 그리고 트랜스 휴머니즘과 밀접한 관계를 맺는다. 서구 휴머니즘 전통의 핵심은 17세기 합리주의 정신에 이르러 하나의 절정을 이룬다. 논자는 오늘날 뜨거운 화두인 포스트휴먼 논의의 발단은 서구 모더니티로부터 비롯된다고 본다. 기술의 융합적 발전이 인간, 인간의 본질, 인간의 정의를 변화시키고 있다는 점에 주목한다. NBIC으로 대표되는 과학기술융합은 인간을 변화시키고 있음은 분명하다. 우리는 그것을 트랜스휴머니즘으로 정의한 바 있다. 이제 인류문명은 트랜스휴머니즘을 넘어서 각종 보철술이 인간의 몸을 대신하는 포스트휴먼으로 진화 가능한 단계로 접어들었다. 기술의 급진적인 발전으로 기존의 근대적 재현과 표상, 상징체계가 바뀌는 것이다. 미셀 푸코는 '이를 두고 '근대적 인간의 소멸'을 예견한 바 있다. (1) 우리는 이 시점에서 이러한 급진적이고도 근본적인 변화를 촉발하는 '기술혁명' 시대에 '인간은 무엇인가', 인간적인 적인 것은 무엇인가'에 관한 이른바 인간학적 지평에 대환 논의가 긴급하다고 판단한다.

  • This article aims to trace a historical trajectory of "Humanism" as a Modern scientific concept in the light of Michel Foucault's genealogy. Generally, we believe that Humanism is a natural and eternal idea for mankind, because no one doubts that he or she is not included in the category of a "Human Being." On the contrary, according to French philosopher Foucault, the Idea of Humanism, or anthropocentrism, appeared only in the Modern Age, from the 16th century downward. Before the Renaissance, human beings did not occupy the most important status in Nature, and only existed as natural beings. As soon as mankind was liberated from the superstitious of fear and religious dogma, the concept of "Human Being" is supplied with new meanings and values. The famous maxim, such as, "Man is the lord of creation" constitutes modern human science as an inviolable category of modernity. However, Foucault tried to illuminate the hidden sides of humanism, and gave us the strict warning on the end of the human beings, which turned out to be an object of Modern knowledge. If there would be no reason to maintain a knowledge system of Modernity, in other words, Modernity as knowledge would lose its validity and we could give up Humanism as a heavy burden. Moreover, it is very clear that we are confronted with the critical moments of radical skepticism on the meaning and value for Humanity. That means that we need to think about the new transformations of Human Beings, which will probably appear in the forms of "Non-Humans," "Machines (Deleuze & Guattari)," or "Post-Humans" etc. At the present time, we cannot know if it will be positive, or negative for mankind. We should look back at the history of Humanism from a genealogical perspective, which is why we have to investigate the conceptual trajectory of Humanism in this moment.
