  • This paper deals with figurative meanings of Haewon-sangsaeng. It is an investigation which is both semantic and diachronic. In the first part, important implications of sangsaeng (or xiangsheng in Chinese) in the context of correlative cosmology are extensively explored. Among others, saeng (in Chinese sheng) as a powerful metaphor and its related Chinese compounds are broadly discussed. In the second part, the evolution of ideas of yuan (or won in Korean) in Chinese history is explicated. Above all, in the traditional Chinese cultural milieu, wrongful treatments which make victims feel themselves aggrieved are socio-politically orientated. The Scripture on Great Peace (Taiping Jing) is used as reference point to elucidate the essential points of yuan and its knots. However, the advent of Buddhism in East Asia adds a new dimension to the understanding of yuan (won). Accumulated yuan as karmic bond thus gives a new identity of yuan as predetermined animosity. Widely recognized idioms like "adverse relatives and karmic debtors" and indigenous Chinese Buddhist rituals like Repentance Ritual of the Emperor Liang bear witness to this transformation of the meaning of yuan in East Asia. The fruitful yet correlated meanings of yuan also make the endeavor of untying yuan deeply significant and important to human society. Haewon-sangsaeng, as a religio-ethical ideal, brings out an amicable and harmonious relationship among myriad beings in the cosmos.

  • Singapore has seen a phenomenal and an unprecedented transformation from a swampland to a high density urban environment since its independence in 1965, made possible largely and single-handedly by the sustained efforts of its government. Indeed, urban space is a key vehicle for achieving urban social, environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The dense urban context in Singapore has seen an emergence and increase in elevated spaces in the form of sky-gardens, sky-bridges and sky-courts in a range of building types, seemingly seeking to tie together the different horizontal and vertical components of the city. This paper, therefore, examines the effectiveness of elevated urban spaces and pedestrian networks in Singapore and their ability to contribute to the horizontal to vertical transitions, and consequently to the urban vitality and accessibility. It does this through the analysis of two key developments: Marina Bay Sands and the Jurong Gateway. In particular, it considers the implications of certain constraints placed on urban spaces by their inherent location at height, in addition to the familiar privatization of public spaces, over-management of spaces, and their somewhat utilitarian characteristics. The paper argues that some of these issues may pose detrimental effects on the publicness of these spaces that in turn may lead to such spaces being underused and therefore adding redundancies and further stress to Singapore's urban land. Finally, the paper outlines key strategies that may help overcome the aforementioned issues, including the disjuncture associated with elevated spaces such that they may become a seamless extension of the urban spaces on ground.

  • In addition to direct sales to consumers, the direct-to-consumers (D2C) strategy, which provides specialized experiences and services, communicates closely with a consumer's perspective. This tendency is related to the recent trend wherein the luxury fashion system is being transformed into a new luxury. Therefore, this study analyzes the development of online D2C platforms and investigates the characteristics of new luxury from the functional, symbolic, and experiential dimension perspectives based on mobile apps, which is becoming increasingly important among online D2C platforms. Based on the study results, the premium of new luxury fashion displayed in Louis Vuitton's mobile D2C platform in terms of product utility and functionality is newly defined as a usable luxury experience. Moreover, from the heritage perspective, based on the cultural sympathy of the brand contents, we determine that an attachment can be formed between new luxury fashion consumers and brands. Additionally, the personalization service and experiential content on the D2C platform can directly afford emotional and bonding induced brand immersion in a playful way.

  • This study divided articles into two time periods, from 2012 to 2022, with the aim of using big data analysis to look at patterns in the ecosystem of fashion start-ups. The research method extracted top keywords based on TF(Term Frequency) and TF-IDF(Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency), analyzed the network, and derived centrality values. As a result of comparing the first and second fashion startup ecosystems, elements of policy, support, market, finance, and human capital were derived in the first period. In addition, in the second period, elements of policy, support, market, finance, and culture were derived. In the first period, the fashion startup ecosystem focused on fostering new designer startups by emphasizing support, finance, and human capital factors and focusing on policies. Meanwhile, in the second period, online-based fashion platform startups and fashion tech startups appeared with the support of digital transformation and fulfillment services triggered by COVID-19(Corona Virus Disease 19), private finances were emphasized, and cultural factors were derived along with success stories of fashion startups. This study is meaningful in that it helps in developing strategies for fashion startups to grow into sustainable companies.

  • E-learning is a planned effort towards providing interactive and experiential learning having flexibility in terms of time, place, pace, participation and accessibility. Globalization has set the stage for a social transformation of the world economy driven by technological innovation, emphasizing knowledge-based processes. While the tertiary education enrolments in wealthy nations have gone up incrementally, the same cannot be said to be right about developing economies. E-Learning can streamline enrolments to higher education, in developing nations by being a cost-effective and flexible alternative. The objective of this paper is to draw attention to the similarities in the national culture of these two countries and compare students' perception on e-learning in India and Sri Lanka along eight dimensions viz., viability, dependability, flexibility, inclusivity, power, pertinence, challenge and equitability. The results reveal that e-learning is equally popular among students from both countries, and they have a high perception score towards e-learning on each of the measured eight dimensions. Hence results are indicative of an opportunity of tapping the potential of e-learning in reaching out to a broader audience of underprivileged students and onboarding them into the knowledge economy.

지방 정기시장의 변화과정과 지역사회 - 장성 황룡장을 중심으로 - (Transformation of Local Community and Local Marketplace)

  • 이 글은 장성군 황룡장을 소재로 지방 장시의 변화과정을 구술과 기억자료에 의해 재구성한 것이다. 장시에 대한 기존연구는 대부분 역사학에서 이루어져 왔기 때문에 이 연구는 새로운 방법론을 검토하는 시도이다. 황룡장은 18세기 중엽에 장시가 처음 있었다는 것이 문헌으로 확인할 수 있다는 점 이외에 시장 출현의 구체적 원인에 대해서 규명할 수 있는 자료는 없는 상태이다. 조선 후기경 이미 인근 6개군의 주민들이 황룡장을 찾는 장시로 성립되어 있었고, 특히 우시장으로서 성가가 있었던 것으로 확인된다. 그러나 조선 후기를 거쳐 일제시대에 접어들어 장시가 번성하게 된 데에는 세금 징수와 1차 산품의 매집이라는 외부적 변수가 크게 작용했던 것으로 보인다. 이때가 황룡장으로서는 전성기였고 사회경제적인 측면에서뿐만 아니라 정치적, 문화적인 측면에서도 지역사회의 중심 고리 역할을 하고 있었다. 해방 이후의 정치적 혼란기에는 경제적 측면에서 시장의 경제적 기능은 약화되었지만 정치적 기능은 오히려 강화되었던 것으로 생각한다. 그 후 정치적 이유로 장터가 없어질 수 있는 위기를 맞기도 했지만 주민들과 시장 상인들의 힘으로 이를 저지시키면서 다시 장이 활성화되기도 하였다. 그렇지만 근대화라는 지금까지와는 전혀 다른 물결이 밀려 오면서 독자적인 상권을 유지하지 못한 채 광주권에 편입되어 쇄락을 길을 걷고 있는 상태이다. 특히 호남고속도로를 비롯한 각종 도로의 확충과 이농에 따른 농업의 기계화는 우시장으로서의 황룡장의 정체성이 흔들리게 되는데 결정적 타격을 입혔다. 지금은 인근에서도 규모가 작은 시골 장터로 변했고 개점휴업상태의 상설 상점들도 많은 상태이다. 앞으로 황룡장은 지역 축제 등의 이벤트성 행사라든지, 특산품의 유일한 유통 경로로 자리매김되는 등의 큰 변화가 발생하지 않는 한 지금의 추세는 멈추지 않을 것으로 보인다.

전통 도자기산업의 부활과 지역활성화운동 -일본 토치기현(栃木縣) 마시코정(益子町)의 사례- (Local Revitalization Movement through Revival of Traditional Ceramic Industry in Japan - A Case of Mashiko-cho in Tochigi-ken)

  • 이 연구에서는 도자기를 모티브로 한 일본의 한 농촌지역의 지역활성화운동의 사례를 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 도자기가 지역활성화의 모티브가 된 역사와 핵심 활동가집단의 이념적 특성과 역할, 그리고 변화하는 현실에 대한 지역사회의 대응전략 등을 중점적으로 검토하였다. 마시코(益子)지역의 도자기산업은 19세기에 본격적으로 발전하기 시작하였고, 20세기에 접어들어서 여러 번 고비를 겪었지만 1960년대부터 민예운동과 결합되면서 비교적 안정적으로 도자기산업이 성장하였다. 이러한 마시코의 경험은 1980년대 말 이후 일본정부가 주력하였던 '위로부터의' 지역활성화운동과는 달리 자생적인 '밑으로부터의' 지역활성화운동이라고 평가할 수 있다. 또한 일본 전국에 유행처럼 번진 지역활성화운동들보다 선행하여 지역의 전통적이고 토착적인 문화적 자원을 적극적으로 활용한 사례라고 할 수 있다. 민예운동과 결합한 마시코의 지역활성화운동은 문화예술가 집단의 이념적 지도를 바탕으로 부단히 변화하는 현실의 상황들에 적극적으로 대응하여 왔다. 그 대표적인 예로 들 수 있는 것이 1950년대 중반부터 일용 도자기생산으로부터 민예품 도자기생산으로의 전환과 1960년대 중반의 도자기생산 및 판매의 핵심활동가집단의 공식적 출범과 산지직매체계의 구축, 그리고 1980년대 이후의 본격적인 민관협력 등이다. 현재까지 도자기를 모티브로 한 마시코의 지역활성화운동은 비교적 성공적인 길을 걸어왔지만, 지역사회의 다양하고 복잡한 최근의 내부 분화는 현실의 조건에 맞게 새로운 전통을 만들어가야 하는 상황에 놓여 있다는 것을 말해준다.
