  • This article examines the shifts in discourse surrounding Korean dramas in Malaysia, a core market for the Korean Wave (Hallyu), to understand the evolving perceptions and reception of Hallyu as a role model. Employing a discourse analysis of 14 Malaysian newspapers available online from 2016 to 2022, a period marked by the rise of over-the-top (OTT) media, the study reveals a significant transition in the prevailing narrative. From 2016 to 2019, the dominant discourse was characterized by conservatism and "cultural protectionism," reflecting a tension in attitudes towards the Korean Wave. However, from 2020 onwards, there was a gradual change in perceptions and attitudes, with an increasing emphasis on the economic and cultural value of Hallyu. This shift towards an "economic discourse" illustrates a growing perception of Korean dramas as an opportunity and catalyst for regional economic development in the Malaysian context, rather than a crisis. The study highlights the dynamic nature of the Korean Wave discourse in Malaysia and its evolution in response to the changing media landscape and socio-economic factors.

  • This paper attempts to examine how woman's role defined by the public discourse took issue with private desires of an individual woman in Tabitha Gilman Tenney's Female Quixotism (1801). Tenney borrows and transforms the ideas of quixotism and picaresque from Don Quixote, which involve an inherent paradox in the post-Revolutionary America. The Republican Ideology emphasized women's crucial role as guardians of family virtue and molders of republican citizens. Therefore, women were not allowed to travel outside of the domestic space as freely as a male picaro could do. In fact, the"adventures"depicted in the novel are constituted of a series of courtship in which Dorcasina, the heroine, unceasingly tries but fails to find a husband fit for her romantic idea about love and marriage formed by novel reading. However, the process shows that a variety of socially disadvantaged groups as well as women were excluded from the public space of the post-Revolutionary America. This half-a-century quest does not end with a conventional happy marriage, but Dorcasina finds herself a disillusioned old maid, resigned to a life of charity. Yet the ending exposes social contradictions inherent in early Republic of America, by showing how an individual woman's life was prescribed and limited by the dominant public discourse.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to explore the health inequality discourse in the Korean press by analyzing newspaper articles using a relatively new content analysis technique. Methods: This study used the search term "health inequality" to collect articles containing that term that were published between 2000 and 2018. The collected articles went through pre-processing and topic modeling, and the contents and temporal trends of the extracted topics were analyzed. Results: A total of 1038 articles were identified, and 5 topics were extracted. As the number of studies on health inequality has increased over the past 2 decades, so too has the number of news articles regarding health inequality. The extracted topics were public health policies, social inequalities in health, inequality as a social problem, healthcare policies, and regional health gaps. The total number of occurrences of each topic increased every year, and the trend observed for each theme was influenced by events related to its contents, such as elections. Finally, the frequency of appearance of each topic differed depending on the type of news source. Conclusions: The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for future attempts to address health inequality in Korea. To make addressing health inequality part of the public agenda, the media's perspective and discourse regarding health inequality should be monitored to facilitate further strategic action.

  • 비대면 교육이 일상화되었던 팬데믹 시기를 거치면서 디지털 역량은 더욱 강조되었고, 이는 교육 정책의 변화에 반영되었다. 많은 정책은 대중 담론에 영향을 받기 마련이다. 따라서 본 연구는 디지털교육에 대한 대중 담론을 분석하기 위해 전국 일간지의 신문기사를 분석하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, COVID-19가 정점이던 2020년에 디지털교육에 대한 담론은 급증하였는데, 이는 비대면 교육 상황에서 학습과 학생에 대한 효율적 관리라는 현실적인 필요성에서 비롯되었다. 둘째, 담론은 디지털 역량의 문제를 주로 새로운 기술 습득의 문제와 관련지어 논했고, 가장 중요하게 다루었다. 셋째, 디지털교육 담론은 미래 사회에 필요한 능력이 무엇인가에 대한 관점보다는 현재적인 관점의 담론들이 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나 미래 사회에 필요한 능력이 무엇인가에 대한 관점을 고려할 필요가 있다. 단지 새로운 기술 습득이나 기능 함양이 디지털 리터러시의 전부라고 볼 수 없기 때문이다. 따라서 미래 사회에 필요한 디지털 역량이 무엇인가에 대한 논의를 활성화시키고, 이를 교육 정책에 반영할 필요가 있다.

  • 담론의 역할은 무엇일까? 미셸 푸코(Michel Foucault)는 특정 사회와 시기의 권력(power)은 담론을 통해 인식과 규범 체계 형성에 영향을 미치는 지식(knowledge)을 생성하여 사회와 구성원을 통제한다는 권력지식관계(power and knowledge relations)를 제시한다. 본 연구는 권력지식관계론의 근간을 이루는 배제의 형성(인식의 통제), 그리고 물질성 및 실천성(규범체계)을 분석 틀로 삼아, 4명의 전임 한국대통령의 복지관련 연설문에 대한 담론해석을 시도하였다. 분석결과로 복지와 성장의 균형 그리고 최고의 복지는 일자리(복지-성장-고용의 연계), 개인의 경제적 자립과 자활, 선별적 복지의 지향, 의존적이고 시혜적인 복지를 배제하는 지배적인 인식체계를 형성하고 있음을 발견하였다. 하지만 권력이 항상 체계적이고 정립된 지식을 형성하는 것은 아니며 인식과 규범의 괴리 문제가 동시에 관찰되었다. 푸코의 담론해석은 한국의 낮은 복지지출에 대한 인과적 추론을 제시하는 반면, 지식의 생산자와 주입자로서의 권력의 역할에 대한 과도한 초점은 어떻게 현대적 변화들을 지식체계에 수용할 것인가에 대한 질문을 남긴다.

재정건전성 담론 해체하기: 미디어담론에 내포된 프레임 구조와 변화를 중심으로 (Interplays among Public Opinion, Public Policy and Discourse: Case Study about the Discursive Structure and Media Politics Surrounding the Fiscal Soundness Policy)

  • '재정건전성'은 사회적 양극화와 복지강화에 대한 사회적 요구에도 불구하고 적극적 재정정책에 제동을 거는 강력한 반론으로서 기능하고 있다. 일반적으로 재정건전성이란 정부 재정의 지속가능성을 가리키는 개념이라고 할 수 있지만 객관적인 지표로 확정되어 있는 것은 아니다. 해당 국가의 잠재력과 경제상황 및 사회적 합의 등에 따라 가변적이다. 어떤 맥락에서 사용하느냐에 따라 진단과 처방이 전혀 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 재정건전성이 갖는 정치적 편향성에 대한 문제의식이 없을 뿐만 아니라 이를 둘러싼 담론정치를 본격적으로 분석한 연구도 없었다. 이 연구는 재정건전성이라는 정책을 하나의 담론으로 간주하고 이 담론을 구성하는 프레임과 태도, 관점, 세계관을 파악하고자 했다. 담론을 통한 정치가 어떤 논리 및 감성구조로 진행되는지를 살펴본 연구다. 분석을 통해 정책담론으로서 재정건전성은 감세 긴축과 증세 복지라는 상반되는 두 가지 프레임이 상호 경쟁한다는 것을 밝혀냈다. '감세 긴축 프레임'에선 복지정책 요구에 반대하며 감세 정책을 옹호한다. 이는 감세 긴축 프레임이 공급중시 경제학의 핵심논리인 '낙수효과'와 신자유주의를 내재화하고 있기 때문이다. 반면 '증세 복지 프레임'에선 '부자감세'를 비판하고 부자증세, 더 나아가 보편증세를 대안으로 제시한다. 여기에는 신자유주의 비판, 공공성회복과 '국가의 역할' 재고찰이라는 입장이 자리잡고 있다.

  • There is great confusion over what constitutes public diplomacy (PD), who its actors are, and the relevance of non-state actors. In the Korean context, in addition to the general fuzziness of the concept, linguistic peculiarities of the terms gonggong and gongjung both of which refer to public, waegyo, which is interchangeably used for international affairs, foreign policy and diplomacy, and juche which is simultaneously used for actor and agent, add more layers of confusion. While the term PD in Korea is based almost entirely on Western conceptualization, these linguistic peculiarities prevent fruitful conversations among scholars and practitioners on PD. Against this background, this research note explores and addresses conceptual ambiguities that pertains to PD and the policy discourse on the topic, particularly on non-state PD in Korea. The paper draws on Korean government's PD-related policy documents and Diplomatic White Papers and all relevant academic articles found in Korean-language journals registered in the Korean Citation Index (KCI), which are analysed to gain an understanding of the PD-related policy discourse in Korea.

  • The purpose of this study is to explore the structure of social discourse on aging in Korea by analyzing newspaper articles on aging. The analysis is composed of three steps: first, data collection and preprocessing; second, identifying the latent topics; and third, observing yearly dynamics of topics. In total, 1,472 newspaper articles that included the word "aging" within the title were collected from 10 major newspapers between 2006 and 2019. The underlying topic structure was analyzed using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modeling method widely adopted by text mining academics and researchers. Seven latent topics were generated from the LDA model, defined as social issues, death, private insurance, economic growth, national debt, labor market innovation, and income security. The topic loadings demonstrated a clear increase in public interest on topics such as national debt and labor market innovation in recent years. This study concludes that media discourse on aging has shifted towards more productivity and efficiency related issues, requiring older people to be productive citizens. Such subjectivation connotes a decreased role of the government and society by shifting the responsibility to individuals not being able to adapt successfully as productive citizens within the labor market.
