South Korea is a regional Protestant superpower with a successful mission history. It has the largest Christian congregation in the world: Yoido Full Gospel Church built by Paul Yonggi Cho. As of 2009, it dispatched more than 20,000 missionaries abroad. However since the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games and the breakdown of the Cold War in 1991, evangelical Protestantism in the country has been steadily declining. Moreover, its social credence is continuously lowering as a result of controversy such as hereditary transmission of pastors, clergy’s sex scandals, financial dishonesty, and privatization of the church. Because of this, Protestant Christianity in South Korea is in some real sense viewed as controversial. The purpose of this paper is to examine the sociocultural change in South Korea in the midst of neoliberal globalization in order to build the socalled ‘missional church,’ a collection of missional believers acting in concert together in fulfillment of the missio dei. The‘missional church’ is faith communities willing and ready to be Christ’s people in their own situation and place. The paper consists of the following sections. The introduction focuses on the emergence of the ‘missional church’ along side with the recent crisis of Korean Protestant Christianity. The first section describes some new cultural trends propelled by globalization. The second section explores sociocultural changes within present South Korea from the sociological perspective of mission: (1) from collectivism to individualism, (2) from ‘regulation society’ via ‘task society’ to ‘fatigue society.’ The third section investigates the outer situation of the ‘missional church’: (1) class disparity, (2) change in demography and family, (3) emergence of ‘N (net) generation.’ The conclusion provides some suggestions including ‘progressive Pentecostalism’ (in Donald Miller’s words) for building the ‘missional church’ within contemporary Korean society under the turbulence and division in terms of ideology, region, class and generation.

영화가 문화를 반영하고 재현하는 기능을 지닌 훌륭한 문화 텍스트라는 점 은 다양한 논의를 통해 이미 확인된 바 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상이 한 문화를 지닌 두 개 이상의 지역에서 생산된 영화 텍스트를 비교 분석함으로써, 영화를 통해 문화의 차이를 이해할 수 있음을 검증하고자 했다. 문화의 차이를 비교하는 준거로는 ‘고 맥락’과 ‘저 맥락’으로 유형화 되는 에드워 드 홀의 커뮤니케이션에 있어서의 맥락 의존도 차이에 주목하였으며, 비교 대상이 되는 텍스트로는 한국에서 2000년에 제작된 영화 <시월애>(감독 이현승)와 이 영화를 원작으로 하여 미국에서 2006년에 리메이크 된 영화 <레이크 하우스>(감 독 알레한드로 아그레스티)를 선택하였다. 영화의 리메이크란 기존에 있던 영화를 시대적, 문화적 배경에 맞추어 재생산 하는 행위를 말하는데 특히 외국에서 리메 이크 되는 경우, 원작의 장점을 유지하면서도 영화가 만들어지는 지역이나 국가의 문화적 특성에 맞추기 위해 통합체적 구조는 그대로 유지한 채 계열체적 구조만을 변형시키는 경우가 많아, 원작과 리메이크 영화의 짝패는 그들이 반영하고 있는 문화 요소의 체계적인 비교에 적합하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구의 비교의 틀이 되 는 통합체와 계열체 분석에는 기호학적 분석 방법을 도입하였다. 연구 결과, 영화의 통합체 분석에서는 두 텍스트의 차이가 거의 나타나지 않았 지만, 계열체 분석에서는 상대적으로 고 맥락 문화를 가진 한국 영화에서 맥락도 가 높고, 저 맥락 문화를 가진 미국 영화에서 맥락도가 낮은 요소들이 다양하게 발견되는 유의미한 결과를 도출하였다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the phasic characteristics of the adjustment process to Korean food with an analysis of Japanese independent tourist culture social resistance factors. To collect data for empirical study, a survey was distributed to 284 Japanese tourists through Korean travel agencies. Logistic regression analysis was carried out in order to determine media and cultural beliefs affecting the diffusion process of Korean food. The results showed that cultural beliefs had no significant effects on the diffusion process of most Korean food. However, people who valued similarities between the two countries-South Korea and Japan-demonstrated a significant effect on performance and identification group. Therefore, cultural beliefs did not influence the diffusion of Korean food, although there are surely cultural beliefs and subjective factors affecting their reform decisions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in Korean meat consumption as well as meat consumption trends. During the Japanese occupation period, the supply of meat was considerably insufficient. However, meat consumption mainly in large cities has gradually increased. Especially, 'Pyeongyang cow', a specialty of Pyeongyang, started being raised as edible beef cattle in 1933. During the chaotic period following liberation from Japan, the price of meat sharply increased. However, as the meat supply stabilized, the 'beef grade system' was introduced in 1967. Since then, beef has sold according to region. During the early economic growth period of the mid-1970s, meat consumption rapidly increased, and foreign beef was first imported in 1976. The preference for beef was somewhat attenuated due to the outbreak of mad cow disease and economic slowdown of the 1990s, resulting in an increase in the consumption of pork, a replacement meat. During the recent period of economic development, meat consumption has somewhat fallen and remained low. In late 2003, with the occurrence of mad cow disease in the US, the demand for pork, and especially pork fatback, has sharply increased.

Paik Kyung-sook. 2012. Do they teach the prospective teachers properly?: Suggestions based on an analysis of the courses on culture at the English education departments of Korean colleges. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 20(2). pp. 239-268. This study analyses the contents of the courses on culture at the English education departments of Korean colleges to evaluate if the prospective teachers are learning properly what it takes for teaching culture. Referring to the relevant theories and the results of a pilot questionnaire on the practice and difficulties in culture education at Korean secondary schools, this study diagnoses the courses on culture(/culture teaching) by examining the contents of the appropriate syllabuses. The analysis shows that most departments offer a culture-related course or two, but mostly about culture on a macro-level. It also reveals that contents about the multicultural nature of the English speaking communities are not properly included and that the relevant teaching approaches/methods are rarely dealt with. The contents targeting the prospective teachers’ understanding of the ‘intercultural communicative competence’ were rarely found, which inevitably discloses the college educators’ lack of adequate concept of ‘culture education’ in this globalized era. This study finally suggests that the ethnographic perspective and knowledge along with the notion of ‘intercultural communicative competence’ serve as the key concepts in constructing a suitable model of culture education for the prospective teachers as well as the learners in Korea.(197)

Today, Korea society focuses on multisociety and kid problem of multiculture home. Korea does not accept traditional multisociety, but entered in multiculture society according to economic, political, global trend. Multiculture society has so many problems; such as criminal situation, culture shock, identity destroy in multiculture home's kids. In this situation, how can do Korea church take care their life problems? Korea church should support toward them in multiculture home through missional education. This article mentions meaning of multiculture society and based on biblical foundation about multiculture society, kids of multiculture home, and Korea church mission toward mlticulture society. This study focuses on for survivals of migrants kids and social discrimination of Kosian in Korea society. Korea churches have to support their settlement by their own ways and encourage them to establish not only their own identity in Korean society but also Christian kid identity based on multiculture society. Therefore, how would Korea church' task do to support for children education of multiculture society. Above all, this article deals with knowledge shift of multiculture society about kid problem and education method. This multiculture came from low fertility and super aging society. Korea churches should response problems of multicultural peoples and their kid with multicultural living together in Korea society.

The paper aims to do a comparative research on foreign social services and cultural understanding of the religious organizations of Korea and of the United States which have been active in Cambodia. The results of the research will be helpful to contribute to develop the support policies of the government authority to religious NGOs and to achieve more effective results in the field of international development by the religious NGOs in Korea. The first part of the paper defines some concepts on community development, international cooperation NGOs, understanding of culture, and foreign social services of the religious organizations. Further the paper makes clear the practical structures of goals and processes of the social service (community development) of religious NGOs which transform the religiocultures of the native population. The second and third parts analyze the religious NGOs of Korea and of the United States. The activities in Cambodia and staff education on the culture of the 12 religious NGOs of Korea are examined to influence the community development or social service which is closely related to cultural change. The third part discusses the activities and staff education of the 7 religious (Christian) NGOs of the U.S. which have practiced the social services in Cambodia. The fourth part compares with the merit points of the religious NGOs of the two countries and discusses the issues of NGO activities in the fields. Finally the paper suggests three points to the NGO authorities in Korea such as financial support of the government authority to the religious NGOs, enforcement of religiocultural education for the staffs of the religious NGOs, and establishment of new department such as world relief service by the denomination basis in the Korean churches.

세계가 하나의 지구촌으로 되는 속도가 빨라짐에 따라 중․한 두 나라 간의 정치, 경제, 무역, 문화 등 분야의 교류가 갈수록 밀접해지고 활발해지고 있다. 이 과정에서 한국어 인재들이 중요한 가교역할을 하고 있으며, 아울러 한국 언어뿐만이 아닌 한국 사회 전반에 대한 탄탄한 이해를 가진 고 소질, 고 실력의 한국어인재를 필요로 하고 있다. 이런 인재의 양성은 한국문화 교육을 떠나서 한국 언어교육만으로는 이루어질 수 없다. 언어를 외면하고 문화를 이해할 수 없고 문화를 외면하고 언어를 이해할 수 없는 것과 마찬가지로 언어교육과 문화교육은 유기적인 연계 속에서 이루어지기 때문이다. 본 연구는 현재 중국에서 진행되고 있는 한국문화교육 실태를 살펴보면서 존재하는 문제를 짚어보고 풀어야 할 과제를 지적하였다. 논의는 한국문화교육의 필요성을 지적하고 문화교육의 목표에 비추어 효과적으로 진행할 수 있는 방안을 제안하는 데에 초점을 맞추었다. 지금까지 무절제하게 이루어지던 중국에서의 한국어 교육은 최근 들어 다소 소강상태를 보이고 있다. 한국어 교육의 질적 향상의 불균형으로부터 우승열태(优胜劣汰)의 경쟁을 거쳐 양적 팽창에서 벗어나 질적 향상을 추구하는 과학적인 재정립이 필요한 단계에 들어섰다. 이는 한국어교육에서 단순한 언어교육이 아닌 한국학 전반에 관한 지식 교육 즉, 언어교육과 문화교육 통합 진행의 필요성과 중요성에 대한 진일보적인 증명과 강조로 된다.

This study seeks to understand why Shantung mission was the only cross-cultural mission work done by the Korean church in 1913-1957 while the focus of other mission works was the Diaspora Koreans and its implications for today's mission work of the Korean church. The Korean church clearly demonstrated its evangelistic zeal by sending its missionaries to Jeju Island, Manchuria, Russia, Japan, Hawaii and Shantung. However, it is interesting that it was only Shantung mission that was cross-cultural in nature, while all others were targeting Koreans living overseas. This study briefly looks at those early missionary enterprise in different regions, which at the end points to the foundational difference between Shantung mission and other missions in other places. They share many things in common, they both were initiated by the church, they both show the missionray zeal, they both were done while they did not have sufficient resources, they both have sacrificial indiviuals. However, Shantung mission stands as the only cross-cultural mission work. While fully agreeing that Shantung mission was exclusively ministered, gorverned and financed by the Korean church, this study suggests that Shantung mission was the only cross-cultural mission enterprise because it was initiated by a missionary, possibly with the help of a missionary board. Some previous studies seem to overlook the fact that W. B. Hunt took a significant role in planning and preparing Shantung mission, mediating between mission boards, the Chinese church and the Korean church. This study, then, goes further to discuss what the Korean church may learn from this historical event.

Since the establishment of Broadcasting Property Rights Institutions (BPRI), it constantly changing at different periods. The term "property" is used in economics and law but less so in the media industry. Therefore, there is a certain amount of academic space left to be discussed. South Korea constantly strengthens their broadcasting technology development, sets up the Broadcasting Act and the corresponding system of property rights, so Korean BPRI are original and native providing the realistic case for study. It is necessary to investigate the path of Korean BPRI development. Based on current research, we analyze and classify the value concept behind the regulation rules of Korean BPRI. Also we use the Managerial Grid Model (1964) developed by Robert R. Blake and Jane Mouton to construct "efficiency" and "fairness" as the ultimate goal of the Korean value system of BPRI. Through this value system of BPRI, we track the value changing path of Korean BPRI. The analysis' results showed that value changing of the Korean BPRI began from the establishment of private KORCAD (Korea Office RCA Distributor) HLKZ-TV in the 1950s. At that time, Korea paid more attention to the pursuit of efficiency, while the pursuit of fairness was very low. Second, since Korean BPRI’ reform in the 1980s, KBS, MBC totally changed to public owned institutions. So Korea was very concerned about the pursuit of fairness, while reducing the attention to efficiency. Again, after SBS was established in 1990, Korea began to strengthen the pursuit of efficiency again, and still paid attention to fairness. Last, entering 2000 with the rapid development of science and technology, digital technology and the Internet has been widely applied to the entire media field. Integration of radio and television’s phenomenon has become more evident and "fairness" and "efficiency" was become the highest pursuit of the values goal. Through studying the process of change of Korean BPRI's value goal, the Korean value lines throughout the entire frame from left and right sides on my research. It includes fully pursuit of the efficiency period, fully pursuit of fairness period, as well as both two sides at same period. From the whole development perspective, Korean government has always been pursuit of fairness in the effort, the fairness was taken cared in each stage of economic development. In the whole frame of Korean BPRI, the fairness and efficiency is the eternal absolute value goal. However, at different periods the understanding of the fairness and efficiency focuses on different points. At a deeper perspective of analysis, actually this changing process is constantly adjusted by fairness and efficiency, and is the result of the interaction effect. To balance them is not only very important to South Korea but also for the work towards the future for many other countries. When these two objectives are achieved at a high degree of unity, they will produce positive and infinite effects on the economy, the national welfare and social welfare benefits will also be enormous.

근대 이전 동아시아 여러 나라의 글쓰기는 한문이었다. 당시 동아시아의 세계는 한자·한문 문명권에 속해 있었기 때문에 정치·외교·문화적인 소통을 위하여 당연 히 한문의 글쓰기가 필요했다. 그런데 19세기 후반 이후 이런 전통의 글쓰기와 인 식체계에 큰 변화가 있었다. 표기체계의 획기적인 전환과 함께 문체의 구조적 문 제가 발생하였다. 한문을 보편적으로 구사해오던 동아시아 어문의 질서로부터 이 탈, 근대적인 국민어가 탄생하였다. 근대적인 전환·변혁이 하나의 구체적인 사회 적 현상이 되었기에 그에 대한 언어적인 표현으로 드러난 것이다. 동아시아의 근 대적인 전환과 변혁은 과거의 문물제도와는 다른 학술문화와 지식 체계의 전환을 의미했다. 그런데, 이 시기에 동아시아는 근대 문명의 새로운 언어로 ‘한자 어휘’를 대량산출한다. 그것은 당시 서구의 지식과 학문의 체계를 동아시아권의 언어로 번역하는 과정에서 일어난 일이다. 흥미로운 것은 그렇게도 부정하려고 하고 타자화하려 했던 한자·한문의 문화에서 비롯된 한자 어휘로 서구어를 번역했다는 사실이다. 즉 통사구조는 자국의 구어와 일치시키고, 문장의 내용을 구성하는 어휘는 ‘근대 한자 어휘’로 대체했다. 이는 서양을 수용하면서 언어에 있어서 자국어 운동을 전 개하며 문자표기와 문장을 언어와 일치시키려는 운동이다. 그러나 20세기의 중국을 제외한 동아시아 각국은 한자 어휘마저도 거부하는 어 문 정책을 폈다. 이런 상황 속에서 한국은 2007년 개정 교육과정과 2009년 개정 교육과정에서 초등학교는 여전히 한자 교육을 배제하고, 중·고등학교의 한문 교육 도 이전에 비해 훨씬 축소되었다. 따라서 근대 형성된 동아시아의 한자 어휘 문화 권도 위기를 맞고 있다. 이에 아시아 여러 나라들의 학술활동의 국제적인 연대가 필요하다.

The aim of this study was to develop a KDPS (Korean dietary pattern score) to assess dietary patterns and diet quality of Koreans from a food culture perspective. The KDPS was applied to dietary data collected during the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2007, and the validity and reliability of the KDPS were evaluated. The targets of the study included 2,278 Korean adults aged 20n89 years. The KDPS was developed using the sum of the scores of 13 components. Each component scored up to 10 points and there was a total of 130 points. The first seven components were for the KSMS (Korean-style meal score) and assessed the dietary balance based on the 3-Chup Bansang daily basic table setting. The components numbered 8 to 13 were for the FGS (food group score), which measured the degree of compliance with the six major food groups based on the Korean recommendation for one serving size of grains, meats, vegetables, fruits, milk, and oils. This KDPS was verified through content validity, concurrent-criterion validity, principal components analysis, and a reliability analysis. The results showed that content validity and construct validity were high. The KDPS developed in this study adhered to the Korean dietary pattern and a healthy diet intake. Furthermore, this study presented an integrated index by scoring the Korean style table setting in addition to evaluating meals from a nutrition perspective. This study can be extended to develop a score for assessing.

본 연구는 TV 드라마 시청에 영향을 미치는 문화적 요인에 대해 탐구한 것으로 한국에서 인기를 끌고 있는 미국 드라마와 기존 한국 드라마의 비교를 중심으로 접근하였다. 연구 표본으로 한국의 대학생들을 이용하였고 세부적인 문화 차원이 대학생들의 TV 드라마 시청 만족도와 드라마에 대한 태도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 본 연구에 사용된 문화적 차원은 전통적으로 많이 사용되는 호프스테드의 권력거리, 개인주의/집단주의, 남성성/여성성, 불확실성 회피, 장기지향성 등의 5가지 차원과 개인들이 지니고 있는 한국적 문화 가치와 미국적 문화가치를 측정하여 이용하였다. 연구결과 불확실성 회피가 드라마 만족도와 드라마 태도에 영향을 미치는 핵심 변인으로 나타났고 문화적인 차원의 영향성은 TV 드라마의 장르에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 발견점은 학자들은 물론 실무자들에게도 TV드라마 편성에 있어 문화적인 요인의 역할에 대한 시사점을 제공해주고 있다.

과거에는 단순한 생리처리 및 위생공간이었던 욕실에 대한 기능이 현대에 들어서는 생활의 활력을 충전하고, 자신만의 욕구와 실현의 공간으로써 활용되는 다기능 공간화 되어 가고 있다. 이러한 의식주에 대한 소비자들의 새로운 욕구와 변화가 나타나면서 현재 '욕실' 공간에서의 행위와 요구사항을 파악할 필요성이 높아져 가고 있다. 많은 수의 한국인들은 욕실사용에 있어서 서양의 입식(立式) 샤워 방식 외에도 욕조 밖이나 대야 등에 물을 받아 사용하는 등의 욕실사용 행태를 나타내고 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 한국인의 독특한 욕실사용행태를 설계에 반영함으로써 한국인의 욕실문화가 고려된 욕실구조 도출이 가능할 것이다. 본 연구는 욕실공간에 대한 사용 만족도를 높이기 위해 한국인의 욕실사용 정황과 사용 중에 느끼는 불편함과 종합적 감정 등을 조사하여 욕실 사용자의 요구사항을 도출하며, 욕실 공간계획에 있어서 건강, 위생문제를 해결하는 공간이자, 현대인의 신체특징과 라이프스타일이 반영 가능한 기본적인 설계지침 도출을 연구목표로 하고 있다.

This thesis is to represent a application of ‘Community Health Evangelism’ to ‘Multicultural Mission of Korean churches’ as a method of balanced evangelisations and Christanised social responsibility in the aspect of ‘Holistic Mission’, while there are much interest of Korean society on increasing number of migrants and ‘Multiculture’. The main works of CHE are ‘Maternal and child health’, ‘Village development’. ‘Educational works’, ‘Enterprise for women and children’ and so forth. These works are very similar to works of migrants' centres; ‘Medical services’, ‘Shelters’, ‘Enterprise of Multicultural family’, ‘Consultation centre’ etc. However, these kinds of centres are just offering one way-helps to migrants but, they can not support migrants to develop and grow themselves overcoming their inferior environments and lives. Accordingly, CHE strategy would play positive roles in making their works maintain the identity and trait of Christian gospel in works of Multiculture missions which stress on social responsibility and then suggest concrete and modified alternatives for social evangelisations.

In this study, the symbols and visual expressions employed in the food culture content of official website designed to promote three cities in Korea, Seoul, Jeonju and Jeju, were subjected to semiotic analysis. In this study, it was assumed that these websites reflected the varying perspectives of the people behind the development and management of these routes of Internet communication, and the semiotic choices made in order to exemplify each city’s food cultural image. The aim of the study was to analyze the communication strategies of food cultural branding in the terms of the online content regarding Seoul, Jeonju, and Jeju with a focus on the comparative points in these cities’ official websites. This study included conducting semiotic content analyses of the aforementioned cities’ official web pages in an attempt to determine the food branding strategies used to differentiation and produce more favorable perceptions of these three cities. Building upon the findings drawn from this comparative study, the present work can be used to determine more effective ways of strategically differentiating the images of local food culture associated with these cities from the view of brand communications. This study also demonstrates viable directions for designing web content for a city where the food cultural messages can be delivered in a thoughtful and effective manner.
