This paper analyzes how the current Global Value Chain (GVC) of East Asia has been established, and attempts to project the future trajectory of GVC under New Normal in the global trading system. For this purpose, the framework of Ideology-Technology-Institution nexus is presented with focus on the dynamics of interplay between ideology and technology, duly recognizing the dual-aspect of technology- a platform for business and also for national defense. The paper analyzes how the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) of the 1990s played a role of "facilitator" in shaping the GVC of East Asia, where China plays 'factory for final assembly' and the US plays 'the largest consumer'. Under New Normal, digital technology is likely to play the opposite role of "disrupting" the GVC of East Asia, unlike ICT. The paper explores the mechanism behind this great disruption. What is driving New Normal is the US-China power competition, seeking for dominance in East Asia and beyond. This paper argues that New Normal is not temporary shock, but will last for some time. Under this presumption, the paper presents three scenarios for the future trajectory of GVC in East Asia.

Language and letter are represented by a combination of its signifier and signified. All symblos are commonly calling direct attention to people who are living in the physical world. However, in cyberspace, the image takes control once inhabited by the language. Cyberspace with anonymity and deoent physical nature has something with physical laws. In this space the statue transcends the imaginary realm. Ideology gives a greater connotation by giving a series of regulation to images floating in cyberspace. Even if various media have the same image, the meaning of the image changes depending on which ideology is used. The impact of this on the public is great. In this study, I discuss the ideology in cyberspace where is supposedly wide open to who visits and spreads all the thoughts without suppression and the human body. The main ideas would be who owns the ideology and what does it want to control and how the people would react to the ideology. This paper would eventually head the prototype that visualizes above ideas. Though the interactive media it will also show the subject in the real world is accept the images floating in the cyberspace without any doubts.

1995년 TV시리즈를 통해 등장한 애니메이션 <에반게리온>은 지금도 이데올로기나 인간의 심리를 반영한 성공적인 애니메이션 작품으로 평가 받고 있다. <신세기 에반게리온>은 일본에서 얻은 폭발적 반응에 힘입어 전 세계 애니메이션계를 강타하였다. 에반게리온의 특징이라면 신선한 메카닉 디자인과 다양하고 사실적인 밀리터리 미장센, 성서를 기반으로 한 심오하고 철학적인 세계관으로 요약할 수 있다. 어느 작품이든 작가의 철학과 이데올로기가 반영되기 마련이지만 <에반게리온>은 특히 여러 행태의 다양한 이데올로기가 반영된 작품이라고 할 수 있다. 또한 <에반게리온>은 제작진이 의도한 난해하고 끝이 모호한 줄거리로 팬들로부터 많은 비판을 받았던 만큼 그에 대한 활발한 토론과 해석을 유도하여 오히려 제2차 홍보의 기능을 하기도 하였다. 이와 같이 작품 속에 나타나는 심오하고 복잡한 이데올로기는 종종 사람들의 관심을 이끌어 흥행의 성공 요인이 되기도 한다. 이 논문에서는 <에반게리온>에서 반영된 이데올로기의 분석을 통해서 이데올로기가 <에반게리온>에 어떤 영향을 주었는지 살펴보고 또 인간 사회에 보편적으로 존재하고 있는 이데올로기가 이 작품에서 어떤 형태로 표현되었는지 이해해 본다. <에반게리온>에서 나타나고 있는 종교, 심리학, 철학의 이데올로기를 분석함으로써 만화애니메이션 작품의 여러 흥행조건 중에서 독자들의 관심을 이끌 수 있는 적절한 이데올리기 역시 흥행의 한 요인이 될 수 있음을 시사하려고 한다.

Harold Pinter's One for the Road(1984) is a play about violence. Nicholas, who appears to be the manager of a place, interrogates Victor, Nicky, and Victor's wife Gila in a room for one day from morning to night. There is no direct physical violence in this play. But hints about the atrocities that took place outside the stage make the audience guess the violence and cruelty. Violence, which is not seen as such, is the central theme of the play. One for the road is worth reading as a resistance to breaking the mirror of global ideology, not as it deals with violent events confined to Turkey. The problem which Pinter had in mind, in particular, is that the United States plays a leading role in producing world-class ideologies, and that Britain is involved in collusion with the United States in cultivating such ideological fantasies, both abroad and at home. This thesis analyzes the contrasting reactions of each character in the play based on this social context. In particular, the conflicting reactions of the characters on the system are the most important conflict in the drama. Nicolas is a manager who moves on the system without seeing the truth. Victor and his family, on the other hand, do not move within the same ideology as Nicholas. This paper will take a look at what their strategies of resistance is and how they are revealed in the work. In fact, Nicholas appears split. Nicholas seemingly reacted decisively to the interpellation of the system. He expresses his belief and respect for the legitimacy of his actions. However, he has repeatedly sought the respect and love of Victor. Nicholas is now swaying. The theme that Nicholas presents consciously by grabbing at his own sway is 'Patriotism.' But this fantasy splits through Victor's silence and death demands. Therefore, the questions to be answered are: So why does Nicolas appear to be torn apart in a system that directs violence? But why is he forced to assimilate into the system? What other figures imply? To answer these questions, this thesis will take Slavoj Zizek's view of ideology. On the other hand, there are previous studies that read the system of violence in One for the road from the Althusser's perspective. Surely, this play explores the role of Ideological State Apparatus. However, from the point of view of Althusser, it is not possible to read Nicholas's division and the point of resistance seen by Victor's family. Pinter does not limit the scope of the ideological system as a closed one that regenerates ideologies, but secures the domain of main body resistance and struggle. On the other hand, there are already several domestic theses that read Pinter's work in Zizek's perspective. But these theses are mainly focused on analysis of Mountain Language. What this thesis would suggest is that there is a potential for an ethical figure of Zizek to be considered in One for the Road.

Being one of the first and hardest hit countries by the coronavirus, Iran still continues to preserve its place among nations with the highest rates of infection and COVID-19 related deaths. While on the surface, such worrying status evinces the failure of the authorities in handling the crisis, at deeper levels, it points to the fundamentalist nature of the government and political system of the country. In this view, the current devastating condition in Iran is a clear indication of the all-out influence of the Islamic regime's ideologies on officials' decision-making and their political agendas throughout the pandemic. Accordingly, the staterun mainstream media, as the most preeminent institution of power, have been incessantly engaged in disseminating a series of ideology-laden information around the issues concerning the coronavirus, and in line with the developing political discourses during pandemic. Far from being based on factual accounts or scientific facts, these disseminated messages inevitably grew into a source of disinformation, ultimately resulting in overall public confusion and skepticism. Through examining the data gathered from some of the most prominent online news agencies run by the government, this study identifies five major discursive trends through which the mainstream media propagated ambiguous and manipulative information about COVID-19. These findings are then explained in the light of media system dependency theory, leading to the argument that within autocratic nation-states, public reliance on media during a national/global crisis brings about new opportunities for state exploitation, and further distressing consequences for the people.

세계역사의 커다란 물줄기인 세계화 또는 개방화의 가속화는 문화부문에서도 예외일수가 없다. 한국사회도 급속한 변화의 한 가운데 있으며, 광고시장의 경우 1990년대 초부터 빗장을 풀기 시작하여 오늘날에는 완전 시장개방이 이루어졌다. 이러한 시기에 다국적 기업들의 국내광고활동에 주목하여 보았다. 광고는 단순한 마케팅의 도구가 아니라 인간을 둘러싸고 있는 문화장치, 자본주의 사회의 중요한 이념적 국가장치로 불리며, 인간의 이념이나 꿈, 동기, 가치관, 태도 등을 다루는 하나의 사회제도이기도 하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 광고가 끼치는 문화적 영향에 대한 현상을 개괄하였고, 실제적으로 국내에 진출해 있는 다국적 기업들이 국내에서 행하는 광고활동을 추적해 본 결과, 다국적 기업의 광고는 그 가치 표현에서 서구적인 가치를 국내기업들보다 상대적으로 더 적게 구사하고 있는 것이 발견되었다. 이는 국내기업들이 오히려 더 서구적인 가치표현을 구사하고 있으며, 다국적 기업들은 문화적 충돌을 의식하여 광고에서 주의 깊게 대처하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

Over the last three decades, the field of American Studies has increasingly paid attention to transnational approaches in an effort to diversify and expand the field's concerns beyond the narrow sense of the nation-state in today's globalizing world. Yet, the mediation of the transnational requires a careful analysis of the nation that is still in transit. In this context, this essay examines Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick (1851) as a case study that vividly shows how reading American literature and culture through transnationalism not only offers new interpretations of canonical texts, but also helps us to better understand the historical roots and cultural contexts of contemporary issues such as global labor and migration, US citizenship and racial justice. To address the complexity of the text's circulation and reproduction, coupled with US national ideology and cultural conditions, I first turn to the canonization of Melville's Moby-Dick during the Cold War era as a national project and then explore the possibilities of transnational readings by focusing on the politics of race and global capitalism in the nineteenth century whaling industry. In doing so, I argue that critical transnationalism allows readers to keep questioning about their own understanding of race, nation, and cultural identity while remaining attentive to the destructive force of US imperialism and global capitalism in the twenty-first century.

이 시대에 국경 없는 글로벌 시장(Global Market)의 무한경쟁시대 직면해 있음을 인식한 국내의 유수한 기업들이 과거 내수시장을 탈피하여 국제화를 지향하기 위한 글로벌 경영을 선언하고 초일류 제품디자인 개발을 시도하고 있다. 이 같은 현상은 글로벌 화된 제품디자인을 통해 마켓쉐어(Market Share)를 상승시키는데 그 중요성에 대한 인식이 커지고 있음을 반영한 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 글로벌 제품디자인 개발의 접근을 인류문화의 기호론(嗜好論)과 디자인 측면에서 재해석하고, 또 인류 모두가 좋아하는 공통적 기호(嗜好)를 유추 또는 수용하여 접근할 수 있는 방법을 제시하는데 목표를 두었다. 글로벌 제품디자인 접근의 구성요소인 디자인과 커뮤니케이션 관계에서 기호론 적 표현컨셉트와 아이디어를 전개하는 방법을 합리적으로 체계화 하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기호론 적 문헌 연구를 토대로 디자인 접근방법을 디자인 프로세스에서 적용시키면서 사용자와 디자인, 기업 이념과 기호론 적 표현에서 의사전달(Communication) 접근방식을 제시하였다. 그리고 우리의 전통문화에서 형태적 아이디어를 발췌하여 접근하는 가운데 화장품 용기디자인을 사례로 하였다.

Vaccine diplomacy is a manifestation of competition for political influence among great powers amidst the Covid-19 pandemic's blatant illustration of ineluctable interdependency across the global community. The reinforcement of trends bolstering global polity construction intensify concomitantly with nationalist populist value and attitude expressions increasing political polarization. The interdependency graphically illustrated in the Cold War-era's mutual assured destruction incentivized competition into indirect competitive intervention in the internal politics of third actors. Indirect international influence contestations included extended, de facto challenge competitions to generate soft power on behalf of the victor, e.g., the space race. The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified this competition to offer alternative development models while intense domestic political polarization undermines the mobilizational capacities for achieving sustainable development. In contrast to multinational and multiethnic states, nation states have an inherent mobilizational advantage because of the enhanced control capabilities available to the authorities without emphasizing coercion. Control through Gramscian hegemonic mechanisms is more readily feasible in nation states through the greater feasibility of commodification of social relations by states authorities regulating and channeling social competition to encourage social mobility and creativity. The regulation of the so-called private sector serves to manage and contain social competition while channeling it to develop the institutional capacities for control and allocation of developing societal human resources. It enhances developed state control mechanisms and international influence capacities. The appeal of offers of aid and assistance to the so-called developing world becomes ever more urgent amidst Anthropocene crises including its most recent, current Covid-19 pandemic disaster.

This paper aims to analyze China's political education, which plays a role of vehicle in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) promoting its ideological strategy, in order to figure out the utility of the CCP's ideological strategy. After Reform and Opening Up, the CCP rebuilt and reinforced political education in China according to its ideological strategy. Especially after the Tiananmen incident in 1989, the CCP made nationalism and patriotism as the core part of political education, and expanded its curriculum. Such reinforcement of political education has a advantage in maintaining the CCP's governance by creating a nationalist consensus against the western ideas. Although it can be helpful for the stability of domestic politics, it also has negative possibilities which isolate China in the global community and obstruct China's development.
