문화콘텐츠학과 기존 학문분류체계의 충돌과 공존 가능성 = Research on the Co-existence and Conflict between the Culture Contents Studies and the Conventional Academic Classification

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the 1990s, the term “cultural contents” has appeared and rapidly spread and grew, but it still suffers from academic difficulties. In particular, there are a number of problems in relation to other existing acdemic disciplines.
The academic research subject of cultural contents studies that has been considered so far is as broad as the meaning of the word 'culture'. It is not an exaggeration to say that if you put together the research purpose and the academic background suggested by the researchers, you are in charge of almost all academic fields. This forms another point where cultural contents studies collide with existing disciplines in the process of academic establishment. Although “interdisciplinary research” and “composite studies” have been suggested as the identity of cultural contents, this also does not appear to be a sufficient solution.
In the aspect of academic identity, the point where cultural contents studies collide with the existing academic system is as follows: (1) Several existing divisions that share the subjects and methods of cultural contents studies are already academically very strong. (2) Current cultural contents studies find it difficult to look out for a place to stably enter an existing academic system aimed at classifying according to differences. (3) Since the current cultural contents studies is related to most of the existing academic systems, it is difficult to narrow it down to a certain area and enter the academic discipline. In sum, the nature of cultural contents is difficult to match with the current academic system that has historically accumulated and reflected the current classification and systematization in a certain way. And there is no choice but to continue to collide.
As a clue to overcoming this conflict, three methods can be considered. First, the modern hierarchical linear academic classification system is reconstructed in three dimensions. Second, it is possible to find a breakthrough in cultural contents studies by setting new research areas and directions. Third, it is possible to consider ways to artificially narrow research problems and directions by accepting the conditions required by the current academic system and independent academic disciplines as realistic limitations or problems.
