  • Fashion is the second most polluting industry. We must strive to transition to a form of industry that does not cause environmental pollution. These efforts drive may fashion brands to produce and sell products with redesigned methods that delight the inventory flow. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop creative apparel up-cycling design using the creative thinking method. This study aims to produce clothing redesign works by introducing design idea types for systematic redesign creation. In this research, we conducted a literature review on the concept of up-cycling design and employed heterotopa spacial concept reflected fashion design creation methodology types. The RE;CODE, a leading domestic up-cycling design brand, was used in case analysis. According to the command of shape transformation, it is spreading, stacking, dropping, inverting and crossing, from the creative thinking method reflecting heterotopia spacial concepts, showing designers a concrete way to transform form into new apparel. Seven works of apparel up-cycling design were developed by conducting process of RE;CODE. Also, to establish an apparel up-cycling design creation process for creating works. In this study, we proposed a systematic method for apparel up-cycling design, including a method for reorganizing two or more different materials to create something new and ultimately reversing the structure. The value and significance of this study is that it proposes a systematic method for apparel up-cycling design to make it new.

  • As times progress, creative change is achieved by attempts to embrace different needs. These attempts are expressed as the form of an Object which pulls down the barriers of genre between art. There is now in fact difficult to find a work that doesn't contain the characteristic of an Object. The necessity of this study is that it tries to approach an Object with a holistic perspective and understand it as a single system. It also tries to analyze the roles that an Object's characteristic and expression and the research ways they influence the dance work by contemplating the aesthetic discussion process of an Object in the art field. Also, by researching the characteristics of expression and how Objects stimulate a dance work, this study will take an important part in developing the dance works. Based on this necessity, this research choose the works of William Forsythe, (2006), (2009), (2009) which clearly depicts the expression characteristics of an Object. It is noted that the usage of an Object maximized creativity and brought expansion of expressions in a dance performance by using diverse mediums, body actions and even nonmaterial components without losing the essence of a dance. As a result, this usage of an Object provides theories that bring the enlargement of expression and suggests various ways to overcome the limits of other existing dance works.

  • This study is a qualitative case study of secondary science teachers who are doing educational activities in YouTube. In particular, this study attempts to interpret this case based on Foucault's concept of 'Heterotopia', which means a space that allows for private freedom or deviance by reflecting various utopias without the norms and constraints from every day or real space. Five secondary science teachers who voluntarily opened a personal channel on the YouTube platform and actively uploaded their own videos related to science education participated in the study. In order to understand the experiences of five secondary science teachers, data were individually collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, and the collected data were analyzed using qualitative case study method. For valid interpretation of the study, we also referred to the video contents, teacher training materials, and teaching and learning materials produced by the participants. As a result of the study, seven themes were revealed: 'Desire for one's own unique educational activities,' 'Youtube as an extended classroom space,' 'Expanded network of relationships beyond the classroom barrier,' 'Satisfaction of desire for recognition and experience of identity as a YouTuber,' 'Tension between the educational space and the YouTube,' 'Space to be reborn as a craftsman,' and 'Finding one's own direction as a Teacher-YouTuber.' Given those findings, we found that the identity and desire of secondary science teachers, which were limited in the existing secondary schools and classrooms, was expanded in a new space called YouTube. In addition, we suggested that YouTube could be a space where science teachers can realize their own ideals and feel the joy. And simple regulating teacher's behavior in Youtube space only based on norms and standards shared in traditional educational space would rather hinder their healthy construction of identity and growth.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out the spatial expression characteristics of Philipstock from a heterotopic perspective in the background of the times of modern people struggling to live in the era of an infectious disease called COVID-19 along with the era of the 4th industrial revolution. As for the research method, a total of 11 places were selected, focusing on the completed works of interior space from 2015 to the present, when they are more active after retirement, to find out the characteristics of spatial expression through literature and case studies. As a result, the spatial expression characteristics of narrative that only space has were the most frequent, and it was found that the characteristics of imaginary space and fantasy, which are the form of overlapping time to express a place, were interrelated. Philip Stock's design method, which uses narrative, fantasy, and imaginary spatial characteristics, can be seen as sufficiently representing heterotopic characteristics and can be used as another design methodology when designing a new space.

Constructing a Heterotopia of Migrant Space: 'Weekend Flat' of Filipino Migrant Care-givers in Tel Aviv, Israel (헤테로토피아로서의 이주 공간: 텔아비브 필리핀 노인돌봄노동자들의 '주말아파트'를 중심으로)

  • This article aims to reveal the ways in which a "space of difference" is produced and interpret the space as a heterotopic space, drawing the case of Filipino elderly care-givers in Israel. The in-betweens and temporariness of the migrants'experiences in the Israeli society lead to the creation of a heterotopic space. Paying attention to their particular life rhythm as live-in care-givers, namely weekdays-workplace and weekend-flat, this article explores how the migrant care-givers build their own society through a variety of spatial practices and multiple social relations based on the flat. In making the flat a perfect form of a lifestyle for their own, the migrants inscribe their presence in the flat in unique ways for different purposes, in a way different to that which surrounds it. However, the structure of flat not only signifies the migrants' marginality but also reflects the challenging position. The flat has functions in relation to all other space that remains, even if such connection often creates effects of contrast and difference. In this light, the flat is not merely an alienated and circumscibed exotic migrant enclave but a heterotopic space which is dynamically constructed in relation to other sites in the wider societal order.

  • This paper aims to identify the key features of the novel writing of Korean American immigrants and their meaning as one aspect of movement and contact occuring in the early modern period. The late return of the novels written by Nakcheong THUN in the 1930s is significant in that it restored ideas on the diversity of early modern mobility and confronted the history and culture of immigrants who were excluded from records and memories. Not only are these novels a product of the phenomenon of immigration, but they have also created a crack in the dichotomous perceptions of domination and subordination, center and periphery by envisioning it as a space that creates new history, culture, institutions and values. These novels treat the free love of intellectual, emotional, and ethical figures as a central event, demystifying Western free love, and at the same time, a society divided by various identities including class, race, and gender. The novels by Nakchung THUN visualize the active exchange between the immigrant and the indigenous community through the character of Jack, and imagines the heterotopia as a place where not for the immigrants' utopia, but for everyone's coexists. These novels have declared a kind of memory war on the subordinate and marginalized contact zones. The contact zones of the immigration area had been a place for experiencing extreme conflicts and discords, and at the same time, it has served as a place where various groups and communities are connected. The contact zones were common areas of solidarity and creation before being subject to division and occupation. The contact zones are far from the border or borderlands, so it is not a fixed and immutable deadlock. As a world free from central domination the contact zones have been a space that preoccupied history and culture through various encounters, and have been a community.

  • Purpose : Neuronal migration disorder(NMD) is a major underlying pathology of patients with intractable epilepsy. The role of NMD on seizure susceptibility or epileptogenecity, however, has not been documented. Methods : External irradiation of total amount of 250 cGY was performed to the fetal rats on days 16(E16) and 17(E17) of gestation. After delivery, the rats of 230-260g were decapitated for the histopathologic study. Epileptog-enecity of the NMD was studied by observing electroclinical events after intraperitoneal kainic acid(KA) injection in the control rats and NMD rats. Results : Histopathologic findings revealed focal and/or diffuse cortical dysplasia consisting of dyslamination of the cerebral cortex and appearance of the cytomegalic neurons, neuronal heterotopia in the periventricular white matter, dispersion of the pyramidal layer and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and agenesis of the corpus callosum. Abnormal expression of neurofilaments protein(NF-M/H) was characteristically observed in the dysplastic neurons of the neocortex and hippocampus. Early ictal onset and prolonged ictal activity on EEG and clinical seizures were observed from the NMD rats unlike with the control rats. Conclusions : Exteranl irradiation on the fetal rats produced NMD. And the rats with NMD were highly susceptible to kainic acid provoked seizures. This animal model would be useful to study the pathophysiology of clinically relevant NMDs.

  • This study tries to compare the architectural thought of Michel Foucault with that of Manfredo Tafuri in order to make clear the architectural identity as a social institution. In Michel Foucault's case, the archeology of discourse and the geneology of power were central method to understand the history of occidental society since the Renaissance. Four him, architecture is assumed as a mechanism of operation which make the power effectively radiate in th space. He thinks that a new discursive space was arranged since the 18th century in Europe, the architecture played a role to coordinate divers powers. Mafredo Tafuri, architetural historian, depends on the criticism of ideology in search of the relation between the economic system of capitalism and modern architecture and urbanism. He thinks that all architecture is an institution. And any attempt to overthrow the institution, is bound to see itself turned into a positive contribution and into an ideology, So all architectural attempts to conceal the contradiction of capitalism are negated. This different perspective on architecture exposes many points of dispute: historical periodization, disciplinary limit of architecture, understanding of Enlightenment architecture, utopia and heterotopia, etc.

  • Experimentally induced cortical disorganization exhibits many anatomical features which are characteristic of cortical malformations in children with early-onset epilepsy. We used an immunocytochemical technique and extracellular field potential recordings from the dorsal hippocampus to determine whether the excitability of the CA1 pyramidal cells was enhanced in rats with exnerimentallv induced hippocampal dysplasia. Compared with control rats, the MAM-treated rats displayed a decrease of paired pulse inhibition. When $GABA_A$ receptor antagonists were blocked with $10{\mu}M$ bicuculline the amplitude of the second population spike of the MAM-treated of rats was similar to that of the first population spike, as was in the control rats. The MAM-treated rats had fewer somatostatin and parvalbumin-immunoreactive neurons than the control rats. These results suggest that the enhanced neuronal responsiveness of the in vivo recording of the CA1 in this animal model may involve a reduction of CA1 inhibition.

  • The rising urban space in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century was an exemplary site of struggles between the dominant white population and those who migrated from the imperial peripheries. By setting up the space of Chinatown as a segregated sphere within the urban space, the dominant white American society attempted to recreate the sense of distance between themselves and the racial "others." Accordingly, the dominant narrative representations of San Francisco Chinatown at the turn of the century endeavored to produce and maintain the spatial dichotomies between the orderly spaces of natives and the disruptive immigrant communities within the larger boundary of modern American city space. As a Eurasian woman writer, Sui Sin Far attempted to provide distinctive portrayals of the space of Chinatown and its inhabitants that were far different from those of her contemporaries. Through her portrayals of San Francisco Chinatown in her collection of short-stories, Mrs. Spring Fragrance and Other Writings (1912), Far challenges against the false stereotypes and misreading of this unique immigrant space within and efforts to present the Chinatown as a heterotopic diaspora space where the "insiders" and the "outsiders" of the American urban space intermingle and influence each other.
