Modernity, Plastic Spectacle, and an Imperfect Utopia: A Critical Reflection on "Plastic Paradise" (1997) by Choi Jeonghwa

박소양 고려대학교 민족문화연구원 2018 Cross-Currents Vol.0 No.27

Plastic Paradise (1997), a massive yet precarious-looking vertical installation made of cheap, mass-produced industrial consumer goods found in popular places in Seoul, is one of a series of installations that South Korean artist Choi Jeonghwa (b. 1961) has produced since the mid-1990s. With architectonic metaphors that enact a uniquely self-reflective critique of Korean modern society and its ethos, this excessively vertical installation signifies the utopian hope of the Korean masses toward industrialization. However, its fragile material structure alludes to a counter-utopian reality latent in Korea’s compressed growth (apch’uksŏngjang). This article provides a reading of the visual and tactile elements of Choi’s art, which presents its unique structure as a cue for a nuanced social critique. Presenting samples of mass production as testaments to a modern utopia, Plastic Paradise critiques the pervasive myth within a society of mass consumption that these goods have become the totem of happiness “for all.” Inspired by Choi’s original observation of the dynamic form of the life of the masses, the installation also demonstrates how their seemingly mundane, everyday life is punctuated by the iconoclastic utopianism that they embrace for the future, and their understated creativity that continues to adapt and transform the given environment. In this way, the installation becomes both a monument and an antimonument to the state of development and its pervasive optimism.

기억과 망각의 시각문화

My thesis explores the history and psychology of the Minjoong(grassroots) Realist Art and Culture Movement which emerged during the democratisation period in South Korea in the 1980s and early 1990s. Following territorial decolonization and 35 years of rapid industrialisation led by the military dictatorial regime, the 1980s and the 1990s markeda time of insurgence of popular antagonism against the regime and the dominant norms of society which had repressed the expressions of the grassroots people in the society. I examine how the emergent culture a 'visual culture of haunting' is instigated and formed by numerous haunted subjects and the return of repressed memories. This culture is marked by works of Lim Oksang and Oh Yoon who materialised the ghosts of the minjoong, who had long been repressed by "silencing structure" and "culture of forgetting" of Korean society. They actively dealt with the personal and historical trauma and haunting imagination of a future as part of the incorporation process of the internal images of "the Real". The 'Real' translates the irreducible core of memory and imagination of the minjoong which has previously unrepresented.

방사선 돌연변이 축엽자소와 야생종 축엽자소 초임계 추출물의 항염증 활성 비교

In previous study, the radiation mutant Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton with a higher anti-inflammatory activity was selected. The extracts were obtained from the mutant and wildtype using a supercritical carbon dioxide technique. This study aimed to compare the antiinflammatory activities between the mutant supercritical extract (MSE) and wild-type supercritical extract (WSE). The contents of isoegomaketone (IK) of MSE and WSE were measured through an HPLC analysis. MSE contained IK contents approximately 7-fold higher than those of WSE. To compare the anti-inflammatory activities of MSE and WSE, the expression levels of the mRNA and protein of pro-inflammatory mediators were measured in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. As a result, MSE inhibited the expression levels of the mRNA and protein of pro-inflammatory mediators, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) to a much greater extent than did WSE. Taken together, MSE had more IK contents and higher antiinflammatory activities than WSE. Therefore, MSE is proposed based on its therapeutic potential in the prevention of inflammatory disease.

Anti-inflammatory Effects of Pinitol (3-O-methyl-chiro-inositol) in Rats

김종춘,이상민,박소양,신동호,김성호,신용철 한국실험동물학회 2006 Laboratory Animal Research Vol.22 No.1

This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of a natural compound, pinitol (3-O-methyl-chiro-inositol) against acute or subacute inflammation in rats. The single oral administration of pinitol at 5 and 20 ㎎/㎏ showed a significant inhibition of paw edema in a dose-dependent manner. Although no statistically significant difference was noted, the 7-day administration of pinitol at 5 and 20 ㎎/㎏ also showed a tendency to decrease the weights of granuloma formed by cotten pellet implantation. It was concluded that pinitol has an anti-inflammatory effect on acute and subacute inflammation. These results suggest that a pinitol can be developed as an anti-inflammatory drug or a functional food to prevent or attenuate various types of inflammation-related diseases.

한국인에서 HLA-B*4901 대립유전자형의 확인

이혜정,김수연,박소양,표철우,한훈,양일호 대한조혈모세포이식학회 2002 대한조혈모세포이식학회지 Vol.7 No.1

연구배경: HLA-class I 유전자는 높은 다양성을 가지고 있다. 장기이식 시 GVHD 유발에 많은 영향을 끼치는 것으로 알려져 있는 HLA-B locus는 258개의 대립유전자가 존재한다고 알려져 있으며 대부분 exon 2, 3 부위에 다형성을 갖는다. 방법: 대립유전자형을 구분하는 방법으로는 항원 항체반응을 이용한 혈청학적 방법이 주로 사용되어 왔으나 최근에는 분자생물학적인 방법들이 개발되어 이용되고 있다. 한국인에서는 HLA-B49, B50, B18, B45, B73 등이 존재하지 않는다고 알려져 있으나 DNA수준에서의 HLA-대립유전자형 형별이 가능해지고 형별대상의 수가 축적됨에 따라 과거 한국인에서 볼 수 없었던 대립유전자형이 검출될 것으로 예상된다. 결과: 혈청학적인 방법과 ARMS-PCR 방법에 의해 밝혀진 제대혈액의 HLA-B homozygote가 진정한 homozygote인가를 규명하기 위한 연구 도중에 한국인에서는 존재하지 않는다고 알려져 있던 HLA-B*4901을 direct sequencing으로 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: HLA 형별 결과가 장기 생존율 및 GVHD 발생에 영향을 미치는 조혈모세포이식이 증가되고 있으므로, 각 locus별로 blank이거나 homozygote인 경우에는 DNA수준의 HLA-대립유전자형별이 필수적이다. Background: HLA (human leukocytes antigens)-class I genes are highly polymorphic, play many roles in organ and bone marrow transplantain. HLA-B is the most polymorphic in exon 2 and exon 3 of class I locus with 258 alleles. Methods: Until recently, HLA-class I typing has been mainly based on serologic methods. The development of molecular biological techniques make it possible to define the genotypes in HLA genes. HLA-B49, B50, B18, B45, B73 alleles which have been known to be rare or absent in Korean are expected to be found by both the development of HLA genotyping at the DNA level and the accumulation of HLA data. Results: HLA-B genotyping by direct sequencing was performed on cord blood sample which HLA-B serotype was homozygote or blank by ARMS-PCR method. We found HLA- B*4901 allele which was rare in Korean. Conclusion: In order to increase the successful frequencies of stem cell transplantation, HLA genotyping at the DNA levels are necessary in case of blank or homozygous loci.

The amniotic band syndrome is a collection of fetal malformation associated with fibrous bands that appears to entangle or entrap various fetal parts in utero, leading to deformation, malformation, or disruption. Its pathogenesis has been still debated in the literature for many years. The associated anomalies vary from minor limb anomalies to major craniofacial defect, and visceral defects. We had experienced a case of limb anomalies due to amniotic band and presented with a brief review of literature.

전전뇌증은 태생기 전뇌의 게실화의 실패로 인한 전두부의 기형복합체이다. 전전뇌증의 조기 산전 진단은 심한 증도를 밝혀내고, 예후를 예상하고, 그 예후 및 심한 정도에 따라 적절한 치료를 결정하기 위해 중요하다. 최근 고해상 초음파의 발달로 임신 초기에 전전뇌증을 가진 태아의 발견이 가능해졌다. 우리는 산전에 진단된 무엽성 전전뇌증 1예를 초음파 및 부검 소견과 함께 보고하는 바이다. Holoprosencephaly is a complex abnormality of the forebrain that is postulated to derive from a failure in the diverticulation of the embryonic prosencephalon. Early antenatal diagnosis of holoprosencephaly is important to find out its severity, to predict its prognosis and to determine proper treatment according to its prognosis and severity. With recent development of high resolution ultrasonography, it is possible to detect a fetus with holoprosencephaly at early antenatal period. We report a case of alobar holoprosencephaly, diagnosed antenatally with its sonographic and autopsy finding.

Spontaneous uterine rupture during the second trimester of pregnancy is a rare obstetric emergency. When a patient presents with acute abdominal pain and signs of hemorrhagic shock, a number of differential diagnoses must be considered. Early diagnosis and proper management is necessary to decreased the high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality associated with rupture of uterus. We present a case of spontaneous rupture of the uterus in the 18th week of pregnancy with a brief review of literatures.
