The Uncanny Sociality of Fantasy Gaze in Ozu Yasujiro’s Postwar Films

강우성 문학과영상학회 2013 문학과영상 Vol.14 No.1

This paper analyzes Ozu Yasujiro’s postwar films in terms of the uncanny sociality of fantasy gaze. Beneath their sheer surface banality, beneath the alternating sequences of typically void, uninhabited spaces and domestic trivialities, can be discerned a deep undercurrent of emotional investments. What Ozu’s characters really suffer is less an overwhelming force of fate than the powerlessness of human desire in the aftermath of a traumatic defeat of war. For Ozu, domestic realm does not represent a wider social milieu in a microscopic way but incarnates in itself a separate universe where everything slows down, or even stands still in order to create its own sense of significance.

현대이론의 정치학과 문학비평

강우성 한성대학교 인문과학연구원 2008 소통과 인문학 Vol.7 No.-

This paper aims to tackle controversial topics of the politics of theory after the decline of Western Marxism. Critically assessing the recent academic debate on the “death of theory” in America and Terry Eagleton's own theorization of the death of what he calls “Cultural Theory,” I explore the fundamental problematics of politics itself in any theorization whatsoever. Derrida's econstruction is the case in point here. His deconstruction, which has been transplanted in the American soil as a literary method of interpretation, demonstrates that any theory proper has to be based on the political undecidability; politics of theory is only possible when we recognize the fact that meta-theoretical reflection on what theory is and do should be indispensible in any discussion of the politics of theory. Detailed re-examination of the effectiveness of the so-called “text” would also be required. For a productive debate on the politics, we should be careful not to equate questions concerning what is politics itself with those concerning what kind of politics a theory might have in particular situation. Like Walter Benjamin's translator, the task of literary criticism is to rejuvenate inquiries about what is fundamental and universal in any discussion of the political. The lesson of modern theory would be that the space of the universal, which is the proper place of the theory, always functions as what makes possible the communication among so many modern theories.

A Posthumous Plebian Hero in Save the Green Planet

강우성 문학과영상학회 2017 문학과영상 Vol.18 No.3

Jang Joon-Hawn’s Save the Green Planet defies an easy categorization in its generic hybridity and comic character building. Stretched unevenly along the bricolage of typical B-movie milieu, the self-claimed, plebian hero, lost in immitigable trauma and vengeful madness, does not complete his savior mission. Unlike other technically empowered superheroes of the just cause, he even fails to earn the moral sympathy from the audience. Yet he dies a hero of our own time in that he, as a victim of galactic conspiracy and his own paranoid fantasy, clairvoyantly anticipates and partly impairs the monstrous conglomerate of capitalism and political corruption. Generically overturning the repressive political measures of 1980s into their cinematic opposites, the kidnapper-torturer-schemer at once problematizes the logic of infinite justice and befuddles our sense of reality. No sooner Byung-Gu’s monomaniacal revenge became pointless than the victimized industrial magnet turned out to be a real alien with the greater monstrosity. Ironically, fantasy returns as a repressed trauma precisely when the movie actualizes the imagined catastrophe. Diegetic flashbacks about Byung-Gu’s schizophrenia and CEO Kang’s imaginary ufology retroactively obtain a political significance in terms of the desire of the Other. The kidnapper and the victim mirror each other and share the same futile desire that depends on the grand catastrophic scenario controlled all along by the omnipotent Big Brother. Byung-Gu is made a superhero of our time not by his tragic sacrifice but by his very traumatic madness. Neither a winner of infinite justice nor an anti-heroic moral victor, Byung-Gu ironically represents the birth of the hero of the third kind: a ghost. A ghostly hero born in the ashes of the catastrophe, Byung-Gu will haunt us the citizen of globalization as an ineffable signifier of absent, absolute otherness. Save the Green Planet records the last heroic resistance of the traumatic madness in the face of the impending doom of global annihilation.

Prognostic Accuracy of Massive Transfusion, Critical Administration Threshold, and Resuscitation Intensity in Assessing Mortality in Traumatic Patients with Severe Hemorrhage: a Meta-Analysis

강우성,신인수,표정수,안소라,정승우,기영준,석준필,박찬용,이선도 대한의학회 2019 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.34 No.50

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of massive transfusion (MT), critical administration threshold (CAT), and resuscitation intensity (RI) for the mortality of trauma patients with severe hemorrhage. Methods: Seventeen relevant articles were obtained by searching the PubMed databases through February 15, 2019. The estimated mortality rates and injury severity scores were obtained through a meta-analysis. In addition, diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) reviews were conducted to obtain the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio, and the summary receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: At 24 hours, the estimated mortality rates were 0.194, 0.126, and 0.168 in assessments using MT, CAT, and RI, respectively. In addition, the pooled sensitivity of CAT (0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82–0.94) was significantly higher than that of MT (0.63; 95% CI, 0.57–0.68) and RI (0.69; 95% CI, 0.63–0.75). Overall, the pooled specificity of MT and CAT was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.80–0.83) and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.83–0.88), respectively, while the pooled sensitivity was 0.49 (95% CI, 0.44–0.54) and 0.50 (95% CI, 0.38–0.62), respectively. Conclusion: CAT may be a more sensitive predictor for 24-hour mortality than other predictors. Furthermore, RI also appears to be a useful predictor for 24-hour mortality. Both MT and CAT showed high specificity for overall mortality.

American Exceptionalism as ‘Fantasy’ : Beyond the Belief in ‘Essential Goodness’

강우성 서울대학교 미국학연구소 2009 미국학 Vol.32 No.2

This paper attempts to define ‘American exceptionalism’ as a patent fantasy that makes possible America’s self-identity as an example of universal history and at the same time makes it impossible to imagine the beyond. This paper places this fantasy in its historical connection with the American notion of mundane elitism manifest in Benjamin Franklin. American exceptionalism as a fantasy has been a key cognitive device to extend its national origin into the context of universalism. The universality of American exceptionalism is, however, ambiguous because it tries to propound the universalist ideals founded in Declaration while simultaneously covering up the sinister aspect of its nationalist claims. Like a puritan jeremiad, American exceptionalism as a discourse is most powerful when it incorporates the plebian elitism of Benjamin Franklin. Popular accessibility to Franklinian model of elitism makes it extremely difficult to go beyond its ideological claim. It often co-opts alternative figurations within its own framework. Failure of Du Bois’s idea of “The Talented Tenth” was just a case in point. By invoking the need to go beyond the cognitive frameworks that American exceptionalism provides and suggesting some radical reflections on the American exceptionalism after 9/11, I explore the possibility of the new presidency of Barack Obama to think and go beyond the deep-rooted belief in the innate goodness of the United States and public fantasy about benign elitism.

The Geographies of the East Asian Cinematography: The Taiwan Convergence

강우성 문학과영상학회 2021 문학과영상 Vol.22 No.1

When the decline of Taiwan New Cinema (1982-1987) appeared a reality after 1990s, the idea of the national cinema gets strengthened with the globalization of the domestic film market. The brief but intense flowering of Taiwan New Cinema could not be followed by subsequent domestic waves, only to give way its creative momentum to other national cinemas in East Asia. As the nodal point of converging the continental Sinophone cinematic circuit of the Shanghai-Hong Kong axis and the maritime Hollywood-Japan cinematic circuit, however, Taiwan New Cinema combined three strata —postcoloniality, ideological politics, cultural hybridity—of East Asian cinematic infrastructure. Its influence continues in the Fifth and Sixth Generation films in China during the 1990s, fin-de-siècle Hong Kong cinemas, and the South Korean cinema renaissance after the new millennium. My intention is to theoretically frame the geographical mutation of the “East Asian cinematic plane” from the 1930s to the present. Historically, there have been two divergent cinematic axes in modern East Asian cultural geography: the continental curve and the maritime link. The former could roughly be defined by the devotion to the epic, dramatic, and dynamic cinema of spectacle; the latter belongs to relatively static, speculative, and observant aesthetics of realism. After the Cold War and the decline of studio system, the cultural vitality of the East Asian cinema moved to Taiwan and Hong Kong. During the 1980s, Taiwan became the modernist convergence point of two regional axes (“peripheral modernism”) with Hong Kong as its East Asian outpost coping with postmodern cultural capitalism (“hybrid postmodernity”). While Taiwan struggles with the two residual strata of peripheral modernity, that is, postcoloniality and political antagonism, Hong Kong is engaged with the third stratum of hybrid postmodernity by creating a new genre pastiche of East Asian action films, combining wuxia, martial-arts, kung fu, samurai, chandra, ninja, gangster noir, and cop thrillers. In this geographical mutation of East Asian cinematic plane, Taiwan New Wave constitutes the moment of the emergence of postcolonial “minor cinema,” with which East Asian cinema contributes to the making of World Cinema. I would like to adumbrate how the two different cinematic orientations of Hou Hsiao-Hsien (侯孝賢) and Edward Yang (楊德昌) helped to promote respectively the East Asian cinematic emergence.

브랜드에 대한 부정적 기사내용이 브랜드 평가에 미치는 영향 : 브랜드 전략 유형과 선호정도에 따른 차이를 중심으로

강우성,유창조,김대영 한국마케팅관리학회 2015 마케팅관리연구 Vol.20 No.3

The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the effects of negative publicity on consumers’ brand attitude as well as the spillover effects on other brands in the brand hierarchy. Specifically, this study attempts to understand the moderating roles of branding strategy and consumers’ prior attitude in the negative spillover effects. Based on extant literature, we propose research hypotheses and empirically validate them. In order to increase the external validity, we choose two real brands each from familiar product categories (automobile and noodle). We conduct an online experiment using newspaper articles for these brands and collect data from 195 respondents. Our results show that a negative publicity on one brand can affect consumers’ attitudes on other brands in the hierarchy differently. This effect depends on the strength of cognitive network structure between the focal brand and the other related brands. We also find the magnitude and range of spillover effect also differ depending on branding strategy and prior attitude. Similar to previous studies we find that the negative publicity changes the attitudes toward the focal brand, the company brand, and the other related brands. With respect to brand strategy, the equal dominance branding has bigger impacts on the corporate brand more than the individual branding does. With respect to prior attitude, preferred brands are more likely to be influenced by the negative publicity (contrast effect), whereas the spillover effects are less likely (compromise effect). Based on these findings, we discuss the academic contributions and managerial implications. We conclude with limitations and future research directions. 본 연구의 목적은 언론을 통해 제공되는 특정 제품 및 브랜드에 대한 부정적인 정보가 해당 브랜드에 대한 소비자 평가에, 그리고 더 나아가 해당 기업 전체의 브랜드 계층구조상의 관련된 브랜드들에게는 어떠한 파급효과를 미치는지 검증하는 것이다. 특히 이러한 부정적 태도변화의 파급효과가 브랜드전략 및 소비자의 사전태도에 따라 어떻게 조절되는지에 대해서 이해하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 관련 선행연구들을 바탕으로 연구가설을 제시한 다음, 부정적 기사의 효과와 관련된 가설을 실증적으로 검증하였다. 연구결과의 외적 타당성을 높이기 위해 응답자들에게 익숙한 복수의 제품군 (자동차, 라면)과 회사들의 실제 브랜드들을 실험대상으로 선정하였다. 이들 브랜드에 대한 부정적 기사내용을 제작하여 195명을 대상으로 온라인 실험을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 특정브랜드에 대한 부정적인 기사는 브랜드 계층구조상의 여러 브랜드들에 상이하게 영향을 미치며 이는 해당브랜드와의 연결강도에 따라 다르게 나타나며, 이러한 영향력의 크기와 파급효과는 브랜드전략과 선호도에 따라 달라짐을 확인하였다. 기존연구와 유사하게 특정 브랜드에 대한 부정적 기사는 해당브랜드, 제조회사, 타 개별브랜드 모두에 대한 소비자의 태도를 부정적으로 변화시켰다. 브랜드전략에 있어서는 동등형 브랜드전략을 사용하는 경우 개별형 브랜드전략을 사용하는 경우보다 제조회사에 대한 태도가 더욱 부정적으로 변하며, 태도변화의 파급효과도 더 많이 제조회사로 파급되었다. 브랜드에 대한 사전 선호도가 높은 경우에는 대조효과로 인해 해당브랜드의 태도가 더 많이 부정적으로 변함을 확인하였으나, 반면에 태도변화의 파급효과는 동화효과로 인해 제조회사나 타 개별브랜드로의 파급효과는 크게 줄어들었음을 발견하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구결과를 중심으로 학술적 기여도와 관리적 시사점들을 논의하였고, 연구의 한계점과 함께 다양한 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
