‘코로나’시대의 『페스트』 읽기를 통한 생태 문해력의 확장과 인문학의 의무

이명희(Yi, Myoung Hee) 건국대학교 인문학연구원 2021 통일인문학 Vol.85 No.-

본고는 뉴노멀(New Normal) 시대를 맞이하여 새로운 패러다임이 도래했음을 인지하고 이에 따른 생태 문해력과 인문학의 필요성을 살펴보았다. 앞으로의 인문학은 기존의 자본주의 시스템에서 벗어나 사회적 관여(Engagement)와 윤리 감수성(Ethics)이 대두되는 시기로 접어들었다. 이에 1장에서는 ‘코로나19’ 시대를 맞이하여 인문학의 현황을 살펴보았다. 2장에서는 불안과 공포의 코로나 시대에야말로 실천적 성찰과 통찰이 절실하기에 인문학의 시작은 현실을 직시하는 데서부터 출발할 수 있음을 피력하였다. 이때 다원적 시각이 내재된 인문학은 사람들에게 성찰과 공감을 이끌었다. 3장에서는 ‘코로나19’ 시대에 다원적 인문학으로서의 ‘생태인문학’의 중요성을 논의하였다. 이를 위해 건국대학교 ‘창조적사고와표현’ 수업에서 다양한 전공의 학생들이 〈페스트〉 작품을 읽고 이를 코로나와 그들의 전공을 바탕으로 뉴노멀의 실천 방안을 모색하게 하였다. 결과적으로 학생들은 작품을 통해 개인의 삶과 공동체의 삶이 분리될 수 없음을 인지하였다. 질병의 시대에도 ‘연대’만이 살 길이라는 것을 작품을 통해 미래를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있었기 때문이다. 학생들은 언택트 세상에서 마주하는 개인과 공동체간의 연대에 관한 심층적 고민이야말로 인문학이 지녀야 할 다원적 시선임을 공감하였다. 4장과 5장에서는 생태적 감수성과 생태문해력의 필요성을 통해 인문학의 확장과 의무를 살펴보았다. 코로나 이후의 인문학은 인류가 공유할 수 있는 통합할 진리와 기준이 무엇인지를 제시하여야 한다. 또, 오늘날 인문학은 철학, 문학, 예술을 포괄하는 표현인문학에서 과학까지 모두 포함하는 통합인문학이어야 하기에 이제부터 인문학은 학문의 벽을 허무는 일을 과제로 남겨두고 있다. This study acknowledges the advent of a new paradigm in the wake of the new normal era and explores the need for ecological literacy in humanities. Current humanities have moved away from the existing capitalist system and have entered a period in which social engagement and ethical sensitivity are emerging. Chapter 1 of the paper explores the current state of humanities in the era of COVID-19. Chapter 2 states that the beginning of humanities starts from confronting reality, as practical reflections and insights are desperately required in the anxious and fearful COVID-19 era. The pluralistic view inherent in the humanities attracts introspection and empathy from people. Chapter 3 discusses the importance of "ecological humanities" as pluralistic humanities in the COVID-19 era. To this end, students from various majors read the book The Plague in a Konkuk University class called "Creative Thinking and Expressing." They then sought implementation measures in the new normal of the COVID-19 era and from the perspective of their majors. Thus, through the book, students recognized that they could not separate their individual and community lives. They were able to simulate the future conditions and ascertain that "solidarity" is the only way to survive in the pandemic era. Students agreed that in-depth attention to the solidarity between individuals and communities in the intact environment is the pluralistic view that humanities should hold. Chapters 4 and 5 examine the expansion and duty of humanities through the need for ecological sensitivity and literacy. Post-COVID-19 humanities should present truths and standards of integration that mankind can share. In addition, today"s humanities must aim to integrate expressive humanities, such as philosophy, literature, art, and science, and undertake the task of breaking down the barriers of the study of fields.

Sexual Violence and Personality Rights in Virtual Spaces

Bomi Lim 건국대학교 모빌리티인문학 연구원, 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2024 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.14 No.1

Recently, unwanted sexual contact between avatars in virtual spaces has emerged as a serious societal issue. The urgency to regulate such behavior is underscored by the fact that a significant portion of virtual space users are minors, and the emotional harm resulting from avatar-initiated sexual contact is deemed equally severe as tangible harm. However, existing laws lack the basis to penalize these actions. To address the issue of penalizing unwanted sexual contact between avatars, the question of whether sexual violence between avatars can be equated to violence against humans must be addressed. Previous discussions aimed to resolve this through concepts like cyber personality rights or sexual personality rights. However, these discussions tended to separate completely virtual spaces from the real world, attributing independent personality rights to avatars or, conversely, considering them unique to humans in the physical realm. Such attitudes present challenges in categorizing the type of infringement against avatars. This paper argues for recognizing personality rights in virtual spaces based on the spatiality of virtual environments and the fluidity of personality rights. Furthermore, it advocates recognizing the hybrid nature of personality rights within the virtual space through the actor-network theory. The objective is to establish a theoretical foundation that secures the punitive nature of unwanted sexual contact between avatars in virtual spaces and provides a basis for delineating the various types of such behavior.

통일학의 정초를 위한 인문적 비판과 성찰

김성민(Kim, Sung Min),박영균(Park, Young Kyun) 건국대학교 인문학연구원 2013 통일인문학 Vol.56 No.-

이 논문은 통일학을 정초하기 위한 인문학적 비판과 성찰을 다루고 있다. 이제까지의 통일 담론들은 통일학이 아니라 북한학이었다. 북한학은 북을 통일의 파트너가 아니라 지배의 대상으로 간주한다. 그러나 통일학은 남과 북 양자를 통일의 파트너로 인정하는 데에서 출발해야 한다. 둘째, 이 논문은 통일학이 인간을 다루는 인문학에서 출발해야 한다고 주장한다. 인문학적 비판과 성찰은 통일이 사람의 통일이라는 점을 드러낸다. 바로 이런 점에서 통일학은 공통성과 차이를 밝히고 분단의 사회적 신체를 통일의 사회적 신체로 바꾸는 연구가 되어야 한다. 셋째, 이 논문은 통일에 대한 동질성 패러다임을 비판하고 차이와 소통을 주장하고 있다. 오늘날 코리언들은 민족≠국가라는 어긋남을 공유하고 있으며 식민지배의 아픈 역사를 공유하고 있다. 따라서 이 논문은 해외동포를 포함하여 억압 또는 왜곡된 민족적 리비도의 흐름을 민족적 활력이자 합력으로 만들어가는 민족적 공통성이라는 새로운 패러다임을 제안하고 있다. This paper deals with a humanistic criticism and reflection in oder to found the Unification studies. Discourse for unification was not the Unification studies but the North Korean studies till now. The North Korean studies is regard North Korean as not the partner of unification and the subject of governance. However, the Unification studies should be start a recognition that is regard both the North and South Korean as the partner of unification. Second, this paper argue to the Unification studies should be start from the humanities. A humanistic criticism and reflection reveals a point that the Unification is unification of human. In this point, the Unification studies should be a research that illuminate commonalities and differences and replace divided social body with social body of unification. Third, this paper criticize a homogeneous paradigm on the Unification and claims differences and communication. Today, Koreans have shared a inconsistency of the nation≠states and a painful history of colonization. Thus, This paper is proposed a national commonality paradigm as to transform a oppressed national libido into a national vital and combined strength including overseas Koreans.

A Study on Legislation for the Influx of Foreign Human Resources: Drawing Insights from Japanese Cases

Dae Hong Kim 건국대학교 모빌리티인문학 연구원, 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2024 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.14 No.1

In December 2018, the Japanese government introduced “Initiatives to Accept Foreign Nationals and for the Realization of Society of Harmonious Coexistence.” This initiative aimed at a more robust and comprehensive approach toward accepting and integrating foreign talents. The Japanese government also developed the Roadmap for the Realization of a Society of Harmonious Coexistence with Foreign Nationals. This roadmap delineates policies to achieve a symbiotic society and outlines the vision for an environment where foreigners coexist harmoniously with Japanese nationals. With an anticipated rise in the foreign population in Japan, the Japanese government designated the Ministry of Justice as the central authority for overseeing the acceptance and integration of foreign talents across governmental levels. In Japan, this was acknowledged as pivotal for the nation’s future rather than solely addressing labor shortages and the plan involved a comprehensive, longterm policy review. South Korea also faces various societal challenges due to a declining birthrate, making the acceptance of foreign immigrants indispensable. Japan’s pursuit of a gradual transition to an immigration society while promoting acceptance and coexistence of foreign talent presents significant implications for Korea, which is seeking to introduce a new immigration policy.

A Cross-Section of Korean People’s Thoughts on the Immobility Situation Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic

Jooyoung Kim 건국대학교 모빌리티인문학 연구원, 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2024 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.14 No.1

The COVID-19 pandemic created an immobility situation that was not just a quarantine issue, but formed meta-discourses in all areas related to human life, including politics, economy, diplomacy, education, and culture. Even in the urgent situation of these meta-discourses in which nations had to decide on their future, discourses existed about daily life and the unusual lives of individuals caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. To record the testimonies of that era, the Mobility Humanities Education Center at Konkuk University has collected writings on life changed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were written by middle and high school students, college students, and ordinary citizens. This paper attempts a narrative analysis of the 51 essays to explore how Koreans are influenced by meta-discourses, to examine that era, and make suggestions for the future.

A Study on the Constitutional Meaning of the Right to Pursue Happiness in Intelligence Information Society

Jeongsoo Kim 건국대학교 모빌리티인문학 연구원, 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2024 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.14 No.1

The meaning of happiness in human life depends on what each individual thinks of as happiness and what one pursues due to differences in personalities and values. An important value and ideology of modern constitution is the guarantee of human rights to ensure that all human beings can live the life they want. Therefore, the meaning of the right to pursue happiness can be seen as very important not only at the time of the modern human rights declaration, but also in modern society, where technological breakthroughs and artificial intelligence are emerging at ever-higher rates. The role of law is also very important in an intelligent information society, and it is also necessary to find out what fundamental rights the state should protect more actively through the interpretation and guidelines of the Constitution and include the necessary legislative direction or outline in the constitutional amendment. It is crucial to prepare for risks caused by the emergence of new technologies and the development of an intelligent information society, to protect the fundamental rights and safety of the people, and to review constitutional countermeasures. If successful, it may be possible to establish a normative framework for pursuing safe and sustainable development and human happiness.

To Busan and Beyond: Mobilities of Korean War Trauma

Raymon D. Ritumban 건국대학교 모빌리티인문학 연구원, 건국대학교 아시아·디아스포라 연구소 2024 International Journal of Diaspora&Cultural Critici Vol.14 No.1

The Korean War (1950-1953) leveled the peninsula, losing and displacing millions of its people. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans from North and South found themselves in refugee camps in Busan. This traumatizing event is carefully delineated in Yi Hochol’s “Far from Home” and Han Musook’s “The Fragment.” Through an analysis of these short stories using Kate Coddington’s theory of contagious trauma, the paper forwards that the trauma caused by the war spreads, compounds, and expands within the infrastructures—namely, freight cars and warehouse—that facilitate the movements of refugees. In “Far from Home,” during the outbreak of the Korean War, four North Koreans move southward and live in freight cars, but this movement to escape the horrors of war also exposes them to being further traumatized by their homelessness. The characters in “The Fragment,” on the other hand, are able to secure a space in a warehouse in Busan, but the atmosphere coupled with tension with residents over basic necessities is just as traumatizing. These indicate that the infrastructures and conditions within, which can be as ordinary as needing a shelter to sleep in and water to wash themselves, traumatize further the already traumatized. The war, as an extraordinary event, traumatized the refugees—but their movements to safety and refuge, in response to it, cut more traumas.
