  • This paper explores some of the ways in which social games - games played with others through social network sites such as Facebook - are situated within the everyday. It argues that social games are more than just games; they perform a range of interactive and integrative functions across and within people's lives and therefore need to be investigated as such. Social games en-able spaces for and practices of creative expression, and identity management. They also form a mechanism through which relations can be enacted and maintained across and outside of the game environment. This argument requires the researcher to consider the panoply of ways in which people integrate social games within their lives and everyday practices. Part of a larger project, this paper explores some findings from an exploratory survey of Australian game play-ers about their management and integration of game play within the everyday with a particular focus on gender.

  • This case study takes a look at the hyperlink networks extracted from the websites of 367 international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with datasets from 2010, 2012 and 2014. The first level of evaluation focuses on connections between the NGOs, identifying important nodes, groups and their relations. The second level takes into account the broad range of networked websites from the World Wide Web delivering insights into general networking patterns. The third level explores the underlying spatial configurations of the network which offers a great variety of geographic insights on information flows between and within continents, countries and cities. The most interesting findings of this study are a low level of interconnectedness between the NGOs and at the same time a strong spatial concentration of all embedded network actors.

  • Many people criticized how the Chinese government responded to the Wenchuan Earthquake. They focused on how it failed to address the psychological needs of the survivors. The study presented here approached this issue from a human resources perspective. It was determined that the Chinese government approached the situation in a bureaucratic way that limited the government's capacity and barred non-profit organizations and community groups from participating. It was also found that survivors could not contact these organizations for psychological support. This study concludes that the situation called for a more flexible and improvised institution that would respond to the emerging needs of survivors.

  • Thomas L. Friedman's "Our New Historic Divide: B.C. and A.C. ― The World Before Corona and the World After" column is becoming the talk of the times. Whoever talks about the post-Corona world mentions "BC/AC" as a new concept. However, people seem to be overusing the term "BC/AC" while overlooking the specific context that Friedman emphasized. So, taking into account the cultural differences and contexts of the East and the West highlighted in Friedman's column, we devised the "BC/AC" ten-paradigm hypothesis. We hope these ten cultural shifts will be the first step in examining the post-Corona world.

  • This paper examines the benefits of teaching The Adventures of Wu Han of Korea in secondary education in Korea. The novel is a rare sample of twentieth-century American fiction that features a Korean protagonist. What is notable in this novel is that its major Korean characters seem to share the mindset of their American author and creator and represent the Western perspective in their discourse of Korean/Eastern idea and culture. The novel is packed with Orientalist attitudes and could be taught as a case study of Orientalism. Teachers can also use the novel to teach students the art of close reading by analyzing selected scenes from the text.

  • South Korea is currently facing many changes and challenges. To make matters worse, society has struggled to function as it did before COVID-19. This study describes the past and current COVID-19 situation to offer lessons on management during and after COVID-19. We provide implications from COVID-19 and the foundation for future disasters by employing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis and indigenous administrative conceptual framework on culture, institution, and instrument to add a circumstance perspective. This study used secondary data from prior research and literature. Resolutions for these policy issues are presented using the strength-opportunity (SO), strength-threat (ST), weakness-opportunity (WO), and weakness-threat (WT) strategies. We suggest utilizing instruments that consider diverse societies and preventing the disease with climate change by collaborating with social institutions. We hope these implications and resolutions will provide insights for the future and other countries.

  • 본 고에서는 동양학의 학문적 체계를 살펴보고, 현대행정에 도움이 되는 개념과 이론 및 사상을 고찰하여 동양행정론의 주요한 연구주제를 발굴하여 동양행정이 어떤 의미와 가치가 있는지를 고찰해 보고자 한다. 동양행정 이란 첫째, 동양학적 개념과 이론 및 사상에 입각하여 행정현상과 문제를 이해 설명 해결하며, 둘째, 동양학적 관점에서 정책을 개발하는 학문을 의미한다. 동양학의 모든 학문적 근원은 주역(周易)이다. 주역에서 비롯된 동양학의 학문적 영역은 크게 분류하면 상수역(象數易)과 의리역(義理易)이 있다. 즉 상수역에는 동양오술(五術)(명(命) 복(卜) 상(相) 의(醫) 산(山))과 천문기상 등이 있고, 의리역에는 유가, 도가, 묵가, 제자백가, 그리고 성리학 등이 있다. 현대사회에서 동양행정론의 의미와 가치는 서양행정학과 상호보완하고 문제점과 한계점을 상호극복하며 새로운 시각에서 문제를 인식하고 해결할 수 있는 새롭고 앞선 부문이 있다는 점이다.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study is to use in therapy through considering representative oriental philosophical thought in terms of psychotherapy and Oriental medicine. Methods: This study examines psychotherapy and oriental aspects of "Diagram theory of InShimDoShim" that Yulgok, a Neo-Confucian scholar in the Joseon Dynasty, wrote about action of the mind and suggests ways to use it. Results and Conclusion: Diagram theory of InShimDoShim contains much content that can be applied in psychotherapy. It has a positive perspective of human nature and looked at life as realization of nature and life as subjective self-realization. Positive and negative experiences of life are expressions of positive nature. By reinterpreting these experiences, humans contribute to the goal of life that expresses their nature in a healthy way. Yulgok defines a healthy mind capable of living a good life as "an inshim who listens to doshim's command". Therapists can adopt this mindset as the goal of psychotherapy. Yulgok said that the way of manifesting nature is only possible through energy, and that the clear and tidy of this temperament creates a healthy and unhealthy mind. In this part, it is possible to apply therapeutic intervention of the diagram theory of InShimDoShim and Oriental medicine. Oriental medicine can calm temperament by using a treatment method to regulate energy, and clear energy creates a healthy mind and body. The principle that the mind is composed of nature and energy provides a basis for psychosomatic medicine.

  • 기계나 로봇은 인류의 실존적인 기반에 질문을 던진다. 기계들은 인간의 사고방식에 영향을 주었으며, 사회철학과 가치체계까지 변화시켜왔다. 이와 동시에 기계들은 줄곧 다양하고, 매력적인 특징들을 함유해왔다. 기계기술의 발전은 인류의 발전이라는 상징적 의미와 동시에 인간 존재를 위협하는 위험성이라는 상징적 의미를 함께 가지고 있다. 이러한 기계의 양가적인 특징들을 현대조각의 키네틱 요소에서도 발견할 수 있다. 필자는 조각적인 작품 중에서도 기계나 기계의 메커니즘을 활용하는 조각에 초점을 맞추었다. 이를 역사적인 발전과정을 통해 검토하였으며, 현대미술의 특정 예시들을 당대의 대표 모델로 논하였다. 본 연구는 키네틱아트와 설치미술 분야에서 두각을 나타내는 두 명의 젊은 동시대 작가인, 최우람(Choe u-ram)과 예페 하인(Jeppe Hein)을 대표모델로 선정하였다. 두 작가는 기계나 기계의 메커니즘을 사용하는 동양과 서양의 작가로서, 두 작가의 표현방식의 차이가 존재한다. 예시로 몇 가지 작품을 제시하고, 비교를 통하여 두 작가의 문화적 차이와 시각 언어의 차이가 나타나는 이유에 대하여 분석하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 글로벌화된 세계에서도 지역적 특징이 항상 남아있음을 결론으로 제시한다.
