In an attempt to demonstrate in context of Nietzsche's "overman" (ubermensch) and Heidegger's "Being-in-the-World" (Dasein) the collective human efforts to overcome humanism in crisis, I will provide the ground for the poetics of overcoming, the ground which are based upon the double movements of transhumanism and transnationalism. For this purpose, I will turn to the theories of two distinctive poets who reveal and disreveal their truths about the subjecthood or the subjectivity in terms of overcoming: Christopher Dewdney for posthuman transhumanity and Dionisio D. Martinez for transnational cultural contamination Transhumanism represented by Christopher Dewdney manifests an interfusion of outside and inside, thereby collapsing the boundary between the mind and the world, and provides a breakthrough from the limitedly defined mind to the transhuman perspective of overcoming by using terminalogy and techniques from science and technology. The emerging transhumanism reflects the growing interdependence between humans and bio technologies, and suggests a potential improvement of human beings. The main argument of transhumanism is that we humans can and should continue to develop in all possible directions, by overcoming our human limitations by shedding the body and having the disembodied consciousness which will liberate our mind. Kwame Anthony Appiah's "cultural contamination" is another form of overcoming as well as a way to otherness, a counter-ideal of cultural purity which sustains authentic culture, reversing the traditional binary opposition between enriching authenticity and threatening hybridization. Dionisio Martinez's poetry sublimates the negative side of Appiah's concept of contamination, by redeeming the value of the Appiah's list of the ideal of contamination such as hybridity, impurity, intermingling, the transformation that comes of new and unexpected combinations of human beings, a bit of this and a bit of that is how newness enters the world. When a poetic subject is doubly exiled and doubly homeless away from his/her native homeland and home of native language, one has no more identification with the authentic culture of both home and away, but rather anticipates a new identity as a transnational subject to cross the bridge beyond cultural authenticity and to enter into the field of cultural contamination.

A consideration number of investigation have begun to elucidate the essential role biological agents play in the deterioration of stone. What is becoming clear is that many factors affect the durability of stone. Physical, chemical, and biological agentsact in co-association, ranging from synergistic to antagonistic, to deteriorate stone. Biodeterioration has usually been considered to be a degradation process following the initial deterioration effects of inorganic agents, especially objects of cultural value such as pagoda, stature of Buddha etc. These agents were thought to condition stone surfaces for microbial contamination due to structural changes and enrichment of inorganic organic nutrient substrates. This report concentrates on the action of biodeteriogens from bacteria to algae and higher plants. Preventive and remedial methods are surveyed, as are a selection of chemical treatments.

In this study, there has been investigated the simulation of irradiation dose using Monte Carlo methodology for the biological control of wooden cultural property. In the evaluation of fungal contamination on wooden cultural properties, Cladosporium tenuissimum, Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium sp. were mainly identified from the Gimjeotgae. But these microorganisms were completely inactivated by 20 kGy gamma-rays. For dosimetry simulation of wooden cultural properties, Monte Carlo methodology with MCNP was used. The radiation absorbed dose distribution was predicted at 8.2~18.9 kGy. These results show that irradiation is effective for biologic control of wooden cultural properties and Monte Carlo methodology is useful for non-destructive conservation and preservation of wooden cultural properties.

익산 미륵사지 석탑은 백제 무왕대에 창건되어 몇 차례 수리 및 개축작업을 하면서 현 상태를 유지해 왔으나 최근에 구조적인 불균형이 심화되어 탑의 원형에 따른 보존과학적 수복을 위해 해체중이다. 이 탑의 원형은 평면방형탑으로 9층으로 추정되나 최근까지 일부 6층까지만 남아 있었다. 붕괴되어 망실된 부분은 1915년 일본인들이 콘크리트를 이용하여 불안전 탑의 형태를 고정시켜 놓았다. 현재 암석의 표면에는 침전물질이 피각되어 백화현상을 유발하였고 이로 인해 원암의 조직과 색상이 훼손되어 있다. 따라서 표면에 피각된 이차적 무기 오염물질의 종류와 산출상태 및 오염종을 정량 분석하였다. 또한 용해실험을 통해 가용성 오염종을 규명하고 이에 대한 오염물질을 세정하는데 필요한 조건을 제시하였다. 이 결과는 석조문화재 표면의 무기오염종을 정량적으로 규명할 수 있는 자료를 제공할 것이며, 백화현상을 제어 할 수 있는 표면 세정제의 보존과학적 적용에 기여할 것이다.

고대 DNA분석은 인류학, 고고학, 생물학자뿐만 아니라 대중의 관심사가 될 정도로 점차 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 고고학자와 생물학자는 인류의 기원과 집단의 이주, 민족의 형성 그리고 고대인의 질병과 매장문화를 규명하는데 있어 고대 DNA분석을 접목하고 있으며, 이미 멸종된 동물의 계통진화학적인 연구에도 이를 활용하고 있다. 고대 DNA분석의 새로운 전기가 마련된 계기는 고대 시료에서 추출되는 미량의 DNA 증폭을 가능하게 한 종합효소연쇄반응(Polymerase chain reaction, PGR)법이 개발되면서였다. 그러나 고대 DNA는 탈아미노화나 절편화 등의 분자 손상 정도가 심한데 이것은 PCR에서 중합효소의 정확한 DNA 증폭을 방해하는 요인으로 작용한다. 시토신이 탈아미노화되어 우라실을 형성하는 것은 DNA의 염기치환오류를 일으킬 수 있으며, 이런 현상은 증폭 과정에서 고유의 염기서열에 대한 고정치환($C{\rightarrow}T$, $G{\rightarrow}A$)을 유도하게 된다. 또한 대부분의 고대시료는 외부 오염물에 노출되어 있는데, 특히 외부 DNA의 오염은 고대 DNA의 염기서열을 결정함에 있어서 부정확한 결과를 도출시키는 심각한 문제를 초래하곤 한다. 이와 같이 고대 시료는 오랜 기간 동안 자연 분해과정과 다양한 오염물질에 노출되어 있어 그 훼손 정도가 심한 것이 일반적이다. 고대 DNA 연구에 있어서 많은 생화학적 손상과 외부 DNA의 오염을 극복하기 위해서는 보통의 분자생물학적인 방법과 기준보다 더욱더 엄격한 검증 절차에 의하여 연구가 진행되어야 하며, 연구 결과의 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서 본 글에서는 고대 DNA의 손상과 오염물질에 의한 부정확한 염기서열결정과 오류를 보정하고 예방할 수 있는 연구 기준과 실험적 절차를 설명하고자 한다.

To investigate the effect of cultural condition on the aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flayus ATCC 15517, mixed culture with Aspergillus niger, better kind of media and size of Cultural vessels were examined. YES medium was better than SLS medium for this study. Small scale test tube culture was showed the possibility to simply examine the growth, total acidity, pH and aflatoxin production during cultivation, and also could reduce the second contamination of aflatoxin B1 from large scale broth cultured. Especially ELISA method is simple, sensitive and specific and therefore well suited to small scale of test tube culture. Mixed culture significantly reduced the aflatoxin production of Aspergillus fiavus ATCC 15517 and showed almost 95% inhibition of that level during the incubtation.

Most of the important stone cultural heritage (National treasures and Treasures) in Korea are mainly located outdoor and considerably affected by the changes of the temperature, humidity and rainfalls. 541 of the stone cultural heritage are preserved as National treasure and Treasure. The pagodas occupy 187 remains and next 127 Buddha statues, 68 monuments, 60 stupas, and the others 74 stone cultural heritages. The shelter has been installed for one pagoda, 60 Buddha statues, 36 monuments and two stupas. The shelters are categorized in three shapes as traditional shape, modern shape, and others (tradition+modern). Approximately 100 of shelters that have constructed in traditional ways, and about nine of shelters have modern ways, and the only one has the combination shape of tradition and modern, which has been constructed since mid 1900s and repaired from the 1980s~2000s. Many researchers are studying for improvement of manners such as repairing, remodeling or removing of the shelter because problems have occured on shelters. Architectural form of traditional style of Korean timber building is respected, but it has problems on importing natural sunlight to the inside as well as ventilation and spacial problems. However, it needs to supplement policies to improve the positive roles of shelters such as prevention of artificial damage, blocking acid rain, and so on. For instance, the rock-carved Buddha Triad in Seosan, it had problems with viewing, contamination, and dew condensation on the surface. These problems decreased after dismantling the shelter, the space was made for improvement of viewing and dew condensation, and moisture problems were in better conditions. The velocity wind is an important factor in drying conditions on the surface of the rock, therefore the condition has improved after dismantling the shelter.

The West Stone Pagoda at Gameunsaji Temple Site constructed in the 7th century is mainly composed of dark grey dacitic tuff bearing small numerous dioritic xenoliths. These xenoliths resulted in small holes due to differential weathering process from the host rocks. Physical strength of the pagoda was decreased due to weathering and damage caused by petrological, biological and coastal environmental factors. The southeastern part of the pagoda was extremely deteriorated that the rock surface showed exfoliation, fracture, open cavity, granular decomposition of minerals and salt crystallization by seawater spray from the eastern coast. The stone blocks were intersected by numerous cracks and contaminated by subsequent material such as cement mortar and iron plates. Also, the pagoda was colonized by algae, fungi, lichen and bryophytes on the roof rock surface and the gaps between the blocks. As a result of ultrasonic test, the rock materials fell under Highly Weathered Grade (HW) or Completely Weathered Grade (CW). Thus, conservational intervention is essentially required to prevent further weakening of the rock materials.
