Technology as a Core Part of a Teacher's Knowledge Base in the Digital Age

We language educators are constant learners of teaching, not only of up-to-date pedagogy and technology but also the social context of target and native culture within which teaching occurs. Beyond my formal education, integral to my knowledge base are the range of student populations I have served and the variety of language teaching contexts I have encountered, such as heritage learners at UC Berkeley, the global popularity of Korean pop culture since the late 90s, and the pandemic situation since 2020. These are the local contextual factors that have affected the development of my knowledge base. To gain this knowledge base, I developed ways to integrate technology that accommodated my local contextual factors.

한국 대중음악 수용자의 양상 및 수용인식 연구: 1990년대를 중심으로

한국 대중음악사에서 1990년대는 폭발적인 대중음악의 성장 시대로 기록되고 있다. 이는 국내의 경제성장, 전 세계적으로 번져가는 자유민주주의의 물결, 그리고 과학기술의 발전에 대한 결과라 할 수 있다. 90년 대에는 댄스음악을 선두로 하여 힙합, R&B, 레게, 테크노 등 다양한 장르의 음악들이 국내로 들어왔으며, 대형 기획사들이 설립되며 체계화된 시스템을 통해 아이돌 가수를 키워내기 시작했다. 90년대 대중음악이 새로운 시도와 도전을 멈추지 않았기에 대중음악이 중심문화로 자리 잡을 수 있었고 세계적인 K-pop의 탄생을 가능하게 하였다. 본 논문은 90년대 대중음악의 수용자를 연구하는 과정에서 당시의 시대적 상황이 대중에게 어떻게 받아들여지고 작용하였는지를 고찰해 보고자 하였다. 이 연구를 통해 단순히 당시의 유행가나 소비 성향을 나열하는 것이 아니라 어떠한 욕구가 그러한 결과를 낳았는지, 그렇다면 대중들이 그러한 욕구를 갖게 된 공통의 역사적 경험 등에 대해 이해를 높일 것이다. 본문에서는 신세대의 부상, 팬덤문화와 인디문화의 등장, 그리고 기성세대의 수용방식 등 네 부분으로 나누어 90년대의 수용자를 분석하였다. 이 네 부분은 서로 영향을 주고받으며 독립적이면서도 유기적인 역할을 수행하고 있었다. 1990년대 이후 국내 대중음악 산업은 음원시장의 디지털화와 함께 급격한 변화를 맞이하였다. 따라서 90년대 이후의 대중 음악 수용자에 대한 연구는 시기를 더욱 세분화하여 접근할 필요가 있을 것이다.

민화와 팝아트의 유사성을 적용한 패션디자인에 관한 연구

다양한 문화권의 소비자 니즈를 충족시켜야 하는 현대 패션에서는 무엇보다 차별화된 아름다움을 새로운 형태로 표현하는 발상의 전환과 창의적인 발전이 필요하다. 우리 전통문화도 다른 문화권의 소비자들에게 보편적인 미로서 인정받게 된다면 국제적 경쟁력을 확보했다고 할 수 있을 것이다. 민화는 민중에 의해 그려 졌고 발전된 대중적 예술로 상징적 의미가 담겨 있으며, 우리의 정신과 염원이 담겨 있는 민간예술이다. 민화 의 화려한 색채와 조형적 예술 양식이 복식에 어우러져 다른 미를 창출했을 때 세계 패션 시장에 도전할 만한 가치가 있을 것이다. 다양한 예술 양식 중 대중문화 속에 등장하는 각종 이미지를 활용한 팝아트는 자본 주의 사회가 만들어낸 소비문화의 대중예술이다. 현대사회의 대량생산과 대량소비의 생활양식을 새로운 시 각으로 적극 활용함으로써 새로운 양상의 예술을 가능케 하였으며, 일상의 소재들을 예술 영역으로 끌어들여 창작함으로써 우리 생활과 밀착된 예술이 팝아트이다. 오늘날 예술계에서 민화에 팝아트적인 요소를 더하여 민화와 팝아트의 융합을 시도하고 있다. 민화와 팝아트의 만남은 국제적 다국적 시대에 우리 민족 정서를 계승하면서 소비자에게 고감각, 고품격 상품 이미지로 우리 전통 고유의 미적 특성을 담는 작업이다. 본 연구 는 우리 민족의 미의식과 생활미가 담겨 있어 민족의 정서를 상징하는 옛 그림의 민화와, 대중예술인 팝아트 의 미적 특성의 유사점을 도출하여 민화를 현대적 시각으로 팝아트화하여 이를 패션디자인에 응용하고, 또한 한국적 이미지의 표현 가능성 및 방향을 모색하는데 연구 목적이 있다. 이러한 시도로 민화가 가진 전통미가 현대적이고 창조적인 방법으로 표현될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 세계무대에 서 차별화될 수 있는 패션디자인을 개발하고 제시하는데 연구 의의가 있다. 본 연구의 방법은 민화 관련 문 헌, 선행 연구 자료, 회화 그림, 인터넷 자료를 중심으로 진행되었다. 민화와 팝아트의 유사성을 대중성, 상징 성, 해학성, 실용성으로 도출하여 이를 응용한 패션디자인 작품 4점을 제작하였다.

K/J/C-Pop и образы «азиатскости» в российском сегменте Интернет: вебометрический анализ

В статье анализируется, как некоторые дальневосточные СМИ встраиваются в процессы глобализации, формируя уникальную ситуацию и выходя далеко за пределы национального медиаландшафта. Все это становится возможным из-за специфики функционирования «новых» медиа, отличительной чертой которых становится обратная связь с пользователями. Если в «старых» классических медиа их основной функцией была передача информации, знания, определенных нарративов, то теперь в «новых» медиа субъектно-объектные отношения коренным образом изменились. Благодаря Интернету, социальным сетям, и простые пользователи получают возможность размещать свой контент, тем самым формируя определенную повестку дня. Нередко эти сообщения оказываются в топе, т.е. приобретают огромную популярность, становятся неотъемлемой частью мирового контента, интересующего многих пользователей.Тем самым они получают возможность достаточно активно формировать четкие тренды, оказывающие воздействие на культурный и политический ландшафт многих стран. В настоящий момент особенно явно проявляют себя фанаты корейских поп-групп, образующие фанклубы не только в Южной Корее, но и во множестве стран мира: Таиланде, Индонезии, Филиппинах, США, Бразилии, Малайзии, Японии, Мексике, Аргентине, Вьетнаме, Сингапуре, Перу, Чили, Великобритании, Франции, Канаде и Турции. В социальной сети «Твиттер» в 2019 г. тегу K-pop было посвящено более 6,1 млрд твиттов. Российское интернет-сообщество также находится под сильнейшим влиянием K-pop музыки. Именно корейская массовая культуры (корейские дорамы, популярная музыка) начинают формировать особый интерес к Дальневосточной культуре, как это уже раньше делал J-pop – японская популярная музыка. С помощью вебометрики – анализа запросов в поисковике «Яндекс» – авторы пытаются выявить общие тенденции в формировании интереса к корейской и другим дальневосточным культурам.

Analyzing the Reasons for the Global Popularity of BTS: A New Approach from a Business Perspective

This paper analyzes the reasons for the global popularity of the Korean boy band BTS that has been at the center of the growing popularity of Korean pop music or K-pop. To address this issue more comprehensively, this paper utilizes a framework derived from a business approach which has been so far little attempted. In contrast from existing studies that focus on fandom and its activities, this paper argues that instead of egocentric strategies, sophisticated consumer-oriented strategies by utilizing internationalization and digitization are the key to its global popularity, which have helped BTS and their managing company Big Hit Entertainment to overcome all the disadvantages they faced before while reinforcing exiting advantages and creating new ones. By doing so, BTS has gained their global success and become Korea’s top boy band.
