The End of History and the Novelistic Haiku in Don DeLillo’s Point Omega
Seunggu Lew(Seunggu Lew) 한국아메리카학회 2023 美國學論集 Vol.55 No.1
This essay attempts to investigate the idea of haiku presented in Don DeLillo’s Point Omega. In the novella, a defense intellectual named Richard Elster proposes a theory of the end of history and suggests a peculiar vision of “haiku war” that he believes may help to retake the future in the face of post-9/11 global challenges exemplified in the Iraq War. Elster’s conceptualization of the omega point of history and haiku war evokes Alexander Kojève’s interpretation of Hegel and, particularly, his theory of post-historical art form inspired from his trip to Japan. Point Omega is a novelistic haiku, through which DeLillo interrogates and discloses the desire to escape from history and moral responsibility beneath Elster’s grand theories of history and war. In his ekphrasis of Douglas Gordon’s 24 Hour Psycho, a video installation of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, DeLillo points to the possibility that his quaint poetics of literary asceticism and ahistorical spirituality could steer us toward what is truly real and, paradoxically, historical. DeLillo’s novelistic haiku examines the inherent complicity between art and politics in order to imagine the future of art relevant to historical realities.
( Seunggu Lew ) 한국현대영미소설학회 2015 현대영미소설 Vol.22 No.3
This essay investigates how Leslie Marmon Silko, in her novel of revolutionary apocalypse Almanac of the Dead, envisions the alternative politics of Native American spirituality that could challenge the Cold War regime of cartographical imagination in which Native Americans are reduced to Third World others. In order to disrupt and dismantle the Cold War geopolitical continuum from Tucson, Arizona to Tuxtla in the Chiapas state of Mexico, Silko implies that a spiritual connection between the two symbolic locations must be recognized and rebuilt by the indigenous peoples of the American continent. In understanding the current Cold War geopolitical coalition between the imperial center of the North and the Third World periphery of the South as an extended history of the ancient spiritual conspiracy between European sorcerer-cannibals and Native American sorcerer-sacrificers, Silko proposes an alternative vision of international tribalism and spiritual global connectedness that could reject and transcend the false choices of the Cold War paradigm, whether it is Marxism or capitalism.
Experimental investigation on the CO2 laser cutting of soda-lime glass
SeungGu Kang,Joonghan Shin 대한기계학회 2020 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.34 No.8
This study reports on complete glass cutting using a single CO 2 laser beam with a low power of several tens of watts. In this study, the morphological characteristics of a cut surface and the process window for complete cutting were investigated at various process conditions. The damage threshold (in laser energy per unit length) for the glass surface was found to be ~0.0203 J/mm. Increasing the laser energy above this level induced surface melting and crack generation, and the complete cutting of the glass eventually occurred due to huge crack propagation along the scan direction when the laser energy was above 0.67 J/mm. The line edge roughness (LER) measured along the cut surface was in the range of 106-500 μm and tended to increase with the laser energy. According to the result of the process window test, it was found that the process conditions using low laser power (8 and 16 W) and scan speed (12 and 15 mm/s) have a relatively wide process margin for cutting.
An efficient garbage collection for flash memory-based virtual memory systems
Seunggu Ji,Dongkun Shin IEEE 2010 IEEE transactions on consumer electronics Vol.56 No.4
<P>As more consumer electronics adopt monolithic kernels, NAND flash memory is used for the swap space in virtual memory systems. While flash memory has the advantages of low-power consumption, shock-resistance and non-volatility, it requires garbage collection due to its erase-before- write characteristic. The efficiency of the garbage collection scheme largely affects the performance of flash memory. This paper proposes a novel garbage collection technique which exploits data redundancy between the main memory and flash memory in flash memory-based virtual memory systems. Compared to the previous approach, our proposed scheme takes into consideration the locality of data to minimize the garbage collection overhead. In addition, by considering the computational overhead of the garbage collection algorithm, we also propose an adaptive scheme which can minimize the computational overhead with marginal I/O performance degradation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed garbage collection scheme improves performance by 37% on average compared to those of previous schemes.</P>
A Vision System using Platform-based SoC Design
SeungGu Yang,Jiho Chang,Jongsu Yi,JunSeong Kim 대한전자공학회 2007 ITC-CSCC :International Technical Conference on Ci Vol.2007 No.7
Vision sensors can provide rich sources of information providing timeliness and affordable services in various applications including robots, home networks. Standard PCs are commonly used for image analysis but processing even small low resolution images takes more than a second in software. Sensing images and processing them in real time would be a challenging task. This paper introduces an extensible vision system based on the SoCBase 1.0, which is a pre-integrated and pre-verified platform. A real-time stereo image correlation using SAD is implemented with its associated accuracy and speed requirements.
Post-Cold War and Native American Spirituality
Seunggu Lew 한국아메리카학회 2009 美國學論集 Vol.41 No.1
Published two years after the fall of the Berlin wall, Leslie Marmon Silko's Almanac of the Dead addresses the New Age Move ment increasingly popularized and embraced by mostly white middle-class Americans from the late 80s to the early 90s when the Cold War came to a dramatic end Intervening in this historical juncture where post-Cold War uncertainty fuels the popular demand for Native American spirituality, Silko's novel reclaims Native American tribal spirituality as an alternative channel for radical geographical imagination, a post-Cold War global coalition of Third World subjects and Native Americans who have been systematically marginalized and silenced during the Cold war In New Agers' consumerist fetishization of Native spirituality, Silko recognizes a tendency to emphasize what its practitioners refer to as "personal transformation and spiritual growth" The novel strongly suggests that the New Age's "fixation on self-discovery and self healing" in its appropriation of Native spirituality resuscitates the old Cold War discourse of "mental hygiene" that promotes self-help techniques like positive thinking, mind control, and stress management Through the journey of the Laguna Pueblo protagonist from the discourse of "mental hygiene" to Native American tribal spirituality, Silko points to a post-Cold War spiritual and political vision of global connectedness based on the revitalized tribal spirituality, a point further illustrated in the last part of the novel, "One World, Many Tribes"
