This paper is written to introduce and review Shinji Matsunaga's The Aesthetics of Video Games which published in Japan in 2018. Shinji Matsunaga has studied video games from a philosophical and aesthetic perspective. In The Aesthetics of Video Games, he took video games as a hybrid form of traditional games. Shinji Matsunaga particularly notes that video games can design human behaviors and experiences. From this point of view, he tries to construct a theoretical framework that will be able to describe the ways of signification in games and fiction respectively. In previous studies, video games have been mainly discussed in the context of cultural studies and entertainment culture in Japan. The Aesthetics of Video Games is distinguished from the previous studies in the following points. First, The Aesthetics of Video Games pioneered the method of studying video games in art theory. Second, it established various types of relationships with video games and traditional aesthetic concepts. Third, this book connects new concepts that emerged in the age of artificial intelligence to video games as an aesthetic action. Through this work, not only video games were discussed academically, but also the fields of aesthetics and art were expanded. The Aesthetics of Video Game is like a collection of philosophical concepts for video games. Through this book, it can be said that the path for artificial intelligence to approach human secrets is closer than before.

도로를 꽉 메운 귀성 행렬, 오랜만에 만나 더 반가운 가족 친지들, 떡국과 차례음식, 세뱃돈, 가족 친지들과 함께하는 윷놀이 등등. 이런 익숙한 설날 풍경에 빼놓을 수 없는 것이 바로 화투놀이. 특히 게임방식의 하나지만 일반명사처럼 쓰이는 '고스톱'이다. 상습도박이 아니라면 명절 때 가족들과 즐기는 '고스톱'은 무료한 시간을 달래며 얼마간의 판돈에 걸린 스릴까지 만끽하는 인기 놀이다.

Based on the 10 week filial therapy model developed by Landreth (1991) for parents in lower income families, this study used the pre- and post- test model applied to an experimental group of 9 individuals. The program was implemented in three hour sessions, once a week for eight weeks. T-tests were performed following the therapeutic program. Results were that all four subcategories of parent's acceptance capability (respect for children's emotion and emotional expression management, understanding of children's unique temperament, understanding of children's desire for autonomy, and unconditional love for children) showed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post- tests (p< .001). Differences between the pre- and post test on parents' stress approached significance.

In Korea, studies of Alea are limited to the discourse of gambling, and the chance itself is getting overlooked. This makes Alea subordinated to the concept of gambling, which causes the contingency itself to be devalued. Therefore, this study analyzes the meaning and function of 'chance' and 'play' according to the genealogy of Alea, dividing the subdivision of Alea into three categories: magical Alea, systematic Alea, and heroic Alea, and applied it to the digital case, CCG Hearthstone.

The purpose of this study was to compare the kinds of plays and the meanings of words in play songs among children of Han heritage. A total of three data sets were used. Data for two of the data sets were obtained from only South Korean children in 1990 and 2005, respectively, while the other data set contained responses from South Korean, Chinese Korean, and North Korean children collected in 1999. The three societies of Han heritage differed in the level of economic and industrial development and ideological orientation, and each society tended to socialize and educate their children in different ways. The kind of plays and the lyrics of the play songs were different in each stage by the level of economic and industrial development, and ideological orientation. In each society, a dominant play changed periodically. For instance, physical play decreased while television, video, and internet game plays increased. The increase in internet game play was related to the level of industrial development. Although three groups shared some common play songs prior to 1945, they have developed their own play songs after 1945 according to their respective social ideological characteristics. Notwithstanding these differences in play songs, common themes, materials, rhythms, and the Korean emotionality exist across all groups.

This study is a study on the development of board games using local cultural contents. As a prior study related to this study, basic research on board game development, research on cultural products based on cultural heritage, and storytelling development research using local cultural and tourism resources were considered. Among them, for the main purpose of board games and development process, discussions were conducted on the research methodology of Lee Dae-woong and Oh Seung-taek (2004). As a result, it was possible to successfully proceed with planning meetings, proposal preparation, board game design, board game 3D graphic production process, and prototype development. What is peculiar is that characters (dried persimmons, strawberries, jujube, and salted seafood) containing Nonsan's unique regional characteristics were searched and utilized. In addition, major cultural heritages such as Donamseowon Confucian Academy and Gwanchoksa Temple, designated as Nonsan-si cultural properties, were combined with important treasure hunt contents of board games to enhance interest and education at the same time. The theme of this paper, Nonsan, Finding Lost Treasure, is a new educational alternative that can solve the problems of computer games, and has the advantage of having the nature of community leisure play, not individual play. Based on this board game development research in the future, we intend to expect the results of game production using cultural elements from other regions.

전통놀이는 전통문화의 일부분으로 옛날부터 민간에 의하여 전승되어 오는 놀이로서, 이를 후세에 전승시켜 유지보존하고 이어가는 것은 그 사회집단의 독특한 문화를 계승 발전시키는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 그러나 급격한 도시화와 세계화에 따른 정체불명의 미디어와 게임의 확산은 전통놀이 계승을 통한 전통문화의 보존을 방해하는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 놀이 공간 확보의 어려움과 청소년들이 디지털 미디어 단말기의 선호에 따른 실외 및 집단놀이 활동의 외면 등, 전통놀이 확산의 장애 요인을 극복하기 위하여 최신의 인터랙션 미디어 제작기법을 활용한 전통놀이의 설계 및 구현 기법을 제안하였다. 특히, 정월대보름날에 행해지는 대표적인 전통놀이인 쥐불놀이 키트를 최근 부각되고 있는 아두이노 보드와 가속도 센서를 이용하여 제작하고 프로세싱으로 구현하는 사례를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of game play activities on EEG, social skills and self-control in the children with intellectual disabilities. Subjects with intellectual disabilties were divided by control group(n=3) and the experimental group(n=3). In a period of 6 weeks, they took game play activities for 50 minutes 2 times a week. As a result, in EEG(${\alpha}$-wave, ${\beta}$-wave), social skills and self-control before and after intervention, there were significant difference in experimental group(p<.05). And in ${\alpha}$-wave, social skills and self-control, there were significant difference in between group(p<.05). But, in ${\beta}$-wave there was no significant difference in between group(p>.05). These findings indicate that game play activities on the children with intellectual disabilities could improve EEG, social skills and self-control. Accordingly, game play activities are judged to be used for the children with intellectual disabilities to prevent problem and to intervention.
