In this paper, I will pursue initial ideas I formulated in 2012 about the permeation of Korean influences in Philippine popular culture, particularly in the production of serialized TV drama/soap operas or the "teleserye" [tele for television + "serye" or series; thus, TV drama series]. I called the phenomenon the "Korean Turn" as I observed the emulation of Korean televisual drama (nowadays called K-Drama) modes and practices by local production through various means of cultural appropriation. This time, I will expand my exploration to other aspects of Philippine entertainment and other cultural practices. I will also update my observations on the continuing "Korean turn" in the teleserye. I will argue, on the one hand, about the success and soft power of hallyu or the "Korean wave" in the Philippines; and on the other, about Philippine culture's enduring ingenuity in its reception and repurposing of hallyu. Ideas to be yielded here will form part of a potential framework in understanding the dynamics of the interface between Korean and Philippine cultures, in the context of globalization. I assert that popular culture remains to be an undervalued field of inquiry, as far as these contexts are concerned.

This article examines Bong Joon-ho's science fiction/horror film, The Host (2006) and interrogates its depiction of a contemporary South Korean family in crisis. The writer considers the film as a resonant cultural artefact and a manifestation of particularly new-millennial anxieties concerned with the continued involvement of the United States in South Korean affairs, fears of an erosion of traditional family values and mistrust of officious, state endorsed bureaucracy. The Host emerges as a profoundly visceral depiction of an ordinary family set against everyone with no one to turn to except each other.

21세기 초 유네스코(UNESCO)의 "세계 문화 다양성 선언"과 함께 '문화 다양성' 개념은 교육, 과학, 문화 부문에서 국제 사회의 핵심 개념이자 화두로 부상하였다. 그런데 문화 다양성 개념은 "세계 문화 다양성 선언"이 발표되기 이전부터 개인 학자와 기관에 따라 여러 용례로 유통되었기 때문에, 유네스코의 문화 다양성 개념이 지닌 함축에 대한 특별한 이해를 선행하지 않고서는 교과목 수준의 적절하고 올바른 교육적 이행을 추구할 수가 없다. "세계 문화 다양성 선언"에 제시된 문화 다양성 개념의 궁극적 지향점은 '세계 평화'와 '다양한 인류 문화의 공존'이다. 이 점에서 그것은 현 세대뿐만 아니라 다음 세대에게 무엇보다 '교육적으로' 특별한 의미를 지닌다. 더구나 국제 사회의 지리교육계가 지난 2000년 세계지리학 대회를 계기로 "문화 다양성을 위한 지리교육 국제 선언"을 내놓은 만큼, "세계지리" 과목을 사례로 문화 다양성 교육의 실천 방안을 강구하는 것은 의미가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 유네스코의 관련 문헌들을 분석하여 문화 다양성 개념이 지닌 함축을 '이념으로서의 문화 다양성', '표상으로서의 문화 다양성', '비전으로서의 문화 다양성', '인식의 미학적 전환으로서의 문화 다양성'의 네 가지 층위에서 해석한 다음, "2015 개정 교육과정"의 "세계지리" 과목 입장에서 문화 다양성 교육을 위한 교수학습 자료의 예시와 활용을 중심으로 교육적 실천 방안을 제안하였다.

Interviews with 17 Korean American professionals living in Korea revealed the relationship between their status, cultural identities, social capital, and conflicts that arise between their understanding of American and Korean social norms. The findings indicate that social capital for Korean Americans in Korea largely comprises of their English community in Korea and the Seoul Global Center; and that their access to social capital in the Korean society, in general, is limited. As result of limited availability and accessibility of social capital, with a sense of superiority, they maintained their American identity. In terms of social control, their lack of motivation to adopt and follow Korean social norms, as well as them being from the U.S., limited changes occurred in their cultural identity. Extending previous research on the Theory of Intercultural Public Relations, the public's power allows them to maintain their cultural identity, which in turn, effect their communication process. Implications of these findings, as well as suggestions for future study, are discussed.

This essay offers a historically based critique of the idea of "alternative modernities" that has acquired popularity in scholarly discussions over the last two decades. While significant in challenging Euro/American-centered conceptualizations of modernity, the idea of "alternative modernities" (or its twin, "multiple modernities") is open to criticism in the sense in which it has acquired currency in academic and political circles. The historical experience of Asian societies suggests that the search for "alternatives" long has been a feature of responses to the challenges of Euromodernity. But whereas "alternative" was conceived earlier in systemic terms, in its most recent version since the 1980s cultural difference has become its most important marker. Adding the adjective "alternative" to modernity has important counter-hegemonic cultural implications, calling for a new understanding of modernity. It also obscures in its fetishization of difference the entrapment of most of the "alternatives" claimed--products of the reconfigurations of global power--within the hegemonic spatial, temporal and developmentalist limits of the modernity they aspire to transcend. Culturally conceived notions of alternatives ignore the common structural context of a globalized capitalism which generates but also sets limits to difference. The seeming obsession with cultural difference, a defining feature of contemporary global modernity, distracts attention from urgent structural questions of social inequality and political injustice that have been globalized with the globalization of the regime of neoliberal capitalism. Interestingly, "the cultural turn" in the problematic of modernity since the 1980s has accompanied this turn in the global political economy during the same period. To be convincing in their claims to "alterity", arguments for "alternative modernities" need to re-articulate issues of cultural difference to their structural context of global capitalism. The goal of the discussion is to work out the implications of these political issues for "revisioning" the history and historiography of modernity.

In this study, we identified the various mechanisms through which entrepreneurial orientation impacts firm performance. We proposed that entrepreneurial orientation assists organizations in building cultural, structural, human and technical knowledge capabilities, which in turn lead to sustainable competitive advantage. We tested our proposed hypothesis using data collected from 76 managers of small entrepreneurial firms. We found that cultural knowledge capabilities are the strongest mediators of entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance relationship. By bringing in knowledge capabilities in the literature of entrepreneurial orientation, we open new directions for research. Our findings have implications for theory as well as practice.

Stone cultural heritages in Korea have a severe damages from chemical and biological weathering because most of them have been situated in outdoors without any suitable protection systems, and this in turn causes deformation and structural damage. To counteract these problems and increase durability, various kinds of conservation materials are used in the conservation and restoration treatments. However until now there are not many practical and technological experiments on this subject. This paper attempts quantitative evaluation of effectiveness about chemical of ethylsilicate based resin for sandstone in Yeongyang-gun. It takes a long time to evaluate durability and side effect after conservation materials treatment. So we use artificial weathering through freezing§ thawing experimental method. As a result of this experiment, porosity and absorptance increased, and elastic wave speed, elastic modules, unconfined compression strength and tensile strength decreased more than before. This study plans to make a scientific method study about weathering factor and mechanism, and to deduce correlation between artificial weathering and natural weathering.

이 논문은 1980년대 이후 신문화지리학의 경관 연구에서 도출된 이론적 쟁점에 주목하여, 경관의 '재현'과 '이중성'에 대한 논의를 중심으로 신문화지리학의 경관 연구에 대한 다양한 관점에서의 비평의 의미를 탐구하고자 한다. 이를 통해, 신문화지리학의 경관 이론을 고정되어 있고 폐쇄적이며 완결적인 이론 틀로 받아들이는 것이 아니라 내적으로 다양성과 차이가 뚜렷하고 시간에 따라 진화 혹은 변화해 온 이론과 방법론으로 이해하는 것이 적절하다고 주장한다. 최근 문화지리학의 현상학적 전환를 통해 문화지리학자들은 비재현 이론에 기초한 대안적 접근의 가능성을 검토하고 있으며, 이는 재현적 지리학에 대한 전면적인 성찰과 비판이기도 하다. 구체적으로 이 논문의 연구목적은 경관을 재현보다는 수행과 실천의 관점에서 이해하는 경관 연구 비판의 이론적 실천적 함의를 검토하는 것이다.

본 연구는 2013년 지방자치단체의 문화예산과 각 지자체에서 민간부문에 의해 이루어지는 문화활동이 주민 행복도에 미치는 영향을 분석한 연구다. 주민 행복도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 '문화'를 선택한 것은 도시가 성장하면서 행복을 설명하는 다양한 요소들이 있지만 문화와의 관계를 살펴본 연구는 상대적으로 많지 않기 때문이며, 주로 문화예산과 행복도 간 관계, 문화 향유와 행복도 간 관계를 중심으로 연구가 이루어지고 있어 문화예산과 문화활동 모두를 포함하여 살펴본 연구는 전무하기 때문이다. 실증분석결과, 문화예산은 주민 행복에 양(+)의 방향으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 문화활동은 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과는 문화정책 입안자들로 하여금 문화재정을 늘리는 데 정당성을 부여할 수 있다. 문화활동이 유의미하지 않게 나온 이유는 접근성, 질적 수준, 주민들의 문화수요와의 부적합성 등 다양한 관점에서 생각해 볼 수 있으며, 이에 따라 여러 가지 정책적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

This paper investigates the development of attitudes to historic conservation from the turn of the nineteenth century when certain theoretical opinions on the protection of buildings began to be developed, through the time when the Venice Charter was established, to recent international trends in historic conservation. This paper also explores the contribution of these attitudes and ideas towards an international approach for historic conservation. This paper demonstrates that the Venice Charter is the acme of progress in the European stance towards restoration, reflecting European values of architecture and its conservation, and thus it is not sufficiently 'universal' to be unequivocally applied in non-Western countries. Secondly, recent international trends in historic conservation subvert the notions of Western cultural hegemony which have permeated global conservation practices, and accept the diversity of value criteria for heritage and its conservation in different cultural context. Thirdly, this paper argues that the conservation approaches in Asian societies need to move further into the retention and extension of the spirit and naturalistic sensibilities inherent in the architecture. Historic conservation is an expression of different cultural values attached to heritage resources by different societies. For conservation program to be effective, conservation should take place within a socio-cultural context.
