  • The theories of cultural evolution hold subtly or clearly different stances about definition of culture, pattern of cultural evolution, biases that affect cultural evolution, and relationship between culture and organism. However, the cultural evolution theories have a common problem to solve: As the evolutionary theory of life tries to explain the early steps and the origin of life, the cultural evolution theories also must explain the early steps of the cultural evolution and the role of the human capability that makes cultural evolution possible. Therefore, explanations of the human's unique traits including the cultural ability are related to determine which one is the most plausible among many cultural evolution theories. Theories that tried to explain human uniqueness commonly depict the coevolution of gene (organism) and culture. We will explicitly call the niche construction theory and the dual inheritance theory the 'gene-culture co-evolutionary theory'. In these theories, the most important concept is the 'concept of positive feedback'. In this paper, we distinguish between core positive feedback and marginal positive feedback, according to whether the trait that the concept of positive feedback explains is the trait of human uniqueness. Both types of positive feedback effectively explain the generality of human uniqueness and the diversity of human traits driven by cultural groups. However, this positive feedback requires an end, in contrast to negative feedback which can be continued in order to maintain homeostasis. We argue that the co-evolutionary process in the gene-culture co-evolutionary theories include only the positive feedback, not covering the cultural evolution after the positive feedback. This thesis strives to define the coevolution concept more comprehensively by suggesting the potential relationships between gene and culture after the positive feedback.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand the evolution of food culture by applying the evolutionary mechanism to the process of forming the dog meat culture. To do this, this study first examined mutation, selection, and replication as a evolutionary mechanism by biological genes and explain the evolutionary process of food culture by applying so-called 'mime' which is a virally-transmitted cultural symbol or social idea. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. In addition, this study also intended to use in-depth interviews on how people have diverse cultural perspectives interpret and accept edible culture of dog meat. In Korea, which was a traditional farming society, dog meat which is easier to obtain compare to beef has been chosen as an important source of protein. And this choice has been repeatedly reproduced through generations. However, the current generation's awareness of the edible culture of dog meat has changed. The meme of pet culture has been selected and replicated, and this cultural evolution will eventually lead to the culling of dog meat.

  • Okakura Kakuz$\bar{o}$ (1863-1913), the founder of the Japan Art Institute, is best known for his proclamation, "Asia is One." This phrase in his book, The Ideals of the East, and his connections to Bengali revolutionaries resulted in Okakura being remembered as one of Japan's foremost Pan-Asianists. He did not, however, write The Ideals of the East as political propaganda to justify Japanese aggression; he wrote it for Westerners as an exposition of Japan's aesthetic heritage. In fact, he devoted much of his life to the preservation and promotion of Japan's artistic heritage, giving lectures to both Japanese and Western audiences. This did not necessarily mean that he rejected Western philosophy and theories. A close examination of his views of both Eastern and Western art and history reveals that he was greatly influenced by Hegel's notion of dialectics and the evolutionary theories proposed by Darwin and Spencer. Okakura viewed cross-cultural encounters to be a catalyst for change and saw his own time as a critical point where Eastern and Western history was colliding, causing the evolution of both artistic cultures.

  • 문화콘텐츠는 본래 다양한 콘텐츠 생산자와 유통 소비에 이르는 사이클을 가지고 있는 분야이다. 이러한 사이클 안에는 문화콘텐츠 생태계를 구성하는 다양한 개체 요소들이 포함되어 있고 이들 개체들 간의 조화로운 관계의 모색이 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 문화콘텐츠분야에 대한 생태계적 관점의 접근은 최근 관심의 확대는 물론 관점 적용에서 오는 유용성에도 불구하고 본격적으로 시도되지 않은 분야이며, 따라서 문화콘텐츠 생태계를 구성하고 있는 개체 요소의 미확인은 물론 개체간의 상호 작용 원리, 개체별 발전 방안, 생태계를 구성하고 있는 모든 개체의 공통적 발전을 이루는 공진화의 원리 등 생태계 내부 및 그 작용에 대한 구체적인 논의가 없는 상태이다. 때문에 본 연구에서는 생태계와 사회과학의 제 분야에서 연구되어 온 생태계 모델을 통해 문화콘텐츠 생태계를 구성하고 있는 개체 요소의 확인, 그리고 각 개체들간의 상호 작용 및 개체 각각은 물론 전체 생태계의 발전 방향에 대해 모색해 보고자 한다.

  • 2021년 10월 5일 스티브 잡스 사망 10주년을 추모하는 기업 문화마케팅 사례 연구이다. 기업 문화마케팅은 스티브 잡스의 팬덤을 통해 문화소비자 가치를 도출하고, 기업의 브랜드 이미지 제고와 수익을 달성하고자 한다. 빅데이터에 따르면, 스티브 잡스의 브랜드 이미지는 '혁신', '최초', '창의성', '변화', '디자인'이 도출되었다. 그래서 스티브잡스의 브랜드 이미지와 연관성이 높은 슈피겐코리아의 융복합문화공간 '슈피겐홀'과 전 애플 CEO 스티브 잡스의 소재로 제작된 디지털 오페라 <스티브 잡스의 혁명>의 연관성을 빅데이터로 분석하고, 문화콘텐츠 전문가의 의견을 수렴했다. 슈피겐코리아와 디지털 오페라 <스티브 잡스의 혁명>은 스티브 잡스의 희로애락 스토리, 슈피겐코리아의 VIP 회원의 프리미엄 서비스 제공, 언론홍보는 '국내 최초', 유명 연예인 공연장소와 문화예술 장소로 적합한 강남의 '슈피겐홀', 공연 티켓의 수익은 기부로 기획했다. 본 연구는 남성 CEO만의 인생 스토리 연구와 문화 도시 계획에 적합한 연구이다. 연구의 한계점은 장르별 다양한 작품의 분석과 업종에 따른 소비자 가치 분석 시도가 필요하겠다.

  • The objectives of the research are to explain the nature of cultural diffusion and its associated theoretical concepts, to review the nature of traditional Indonesian textiles and to focus particular attention on the origin, evolution and diffusion of motifs and patterns associated with the decoration of two important categories of Indonesian textiles: batiks and ikats. Cultural diffusion refers to the process by which cultural traits, material objects, ideas, inventions, innovations or patterns of behaviour are spread from one social or geographical context to another. Examining the decoration on traditional textiles produced across the Indonesian archipelago, certain motifs and patterns are shown to have been retained from ancient times, and others have been adopted from elsewhere. There is great cultural diversity across the archipelago and ample evidence of cultural diffusion.

  • Recent studies of science and technology "in-the-making" revealed that the process of designing material artifacts is not a straightforward application of prior images or theories by one (or more) person(s) isolated from his or her (their) environment. Rather, designing is a process contingent on the social and material setting for both engineering designers and students. Over the past decade, designing technological artifacts has emerged as an important learning environment in science classrooms. Through the analyses of a large database concerning an innovative simple machines curriculum for sixth-and seventh-grade students, we accumulated valid evidence for the nature of the designing process and science learning through it. In this paper, we show that design actions intertwine with the transformation of the objectified raw materials and artifact, the designer collective, and the mediating tools enabling that transformation, which constitute the elements of an activity from the perspective of cultural-historical activity theory. We conceptualize the continuous change of relation between material artifacts, designers, and tools throughout the design activity as co-evolution. Two episodes were selected to exemplify synchronic and diachronic change of relations inherent in co-evolving activity system. Finally, we discuss the implications of co-evolution during design activity for science learning.
