Recently, unwanted sexual contact between avatars in virtual spaces has emerged as a serious societal issue. The urgency to regulate such behavior is underscored by the fact that a significant portion of virtual space users are minors, and the emotional harm resulting from avatar-initiated sexual contact is deemed equally severe as tangible harm. However, existing laws lack the basis to penalize these actions. To address the issue of penalizing unwanted sexual contact between avatars, the question of whether sexual violence between avatars can be equated to violence against humans must be addressed. Previous discussions aimed to resolve this through concepts like cyber personality rights or sexual personality rights. However, these discussions tended to separate completely virtual spaces from the real world, attributing independent personality rights to avatars or, conversely, considering them unique to humans in the physical realm. Such attitudes present challenges in categorizing the type of infringement against avatars. This paper argues for recognizing personality rights in virtual spaces based on the spatiality of virtual environments and the fluidity of personality rights. Furthermore, it advocates recognizing the hybrid nature of personality rights within the virtual space through the actor-network theory. The objective is to establish a theoretical foundation that secures the punitive nature of unwanted sexual contact between avatars in virtual spaces and provides a basis for delineating the various types of such behavior.

The meaning of happiness in human life depends on what each individual thinks of as happiness and what one pursues due to differences in personalities and values. An important value and ideology of modern constitution is the guarantee of human rights to ensure that all human beings can live the life they want. Therefore, the meaning of the right to pursue happiness can be seen as very important not only at the time of the modern human rights declaration, but also in modern society, where technological breakthroughs and artificial intelligence are emerging at ever-higher rates. The role of law is also very important in an intelligent information society, and it is also necessary to find out what fundamental rights the state should protect more actively through the interpretation and guidelines of the Constitution and include the necessary legislative direction or outline in the constitutional amendment. It is crucial to prepare for risks caused by the emergence of new technologies and the development of an intelligent information society, to protect the fundamental rights and safety of the people, and to review constitutional countermeasures. If successful, it may be possible to establish a normative framework for pursuing safe and sustainable development and human happiness.

The Korean War (1950-1953) leveled the peninsula, losing and displacing millions of its people. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans from North and South found themselves in refugee camps in Busan. This traumatizing event is carefully delineated in Yi Hochol’s “Far from Home” and Han Musook’s “The Fragment.” Through an analysis of these short stories using Kate Coddington’s theory of contagious trauma, the paper forwards that the trauma caused by the war spreads, compounds, and expands within the infrastructures—namely, freight cars and warehouse—that facilitate the movements of refugees. In “Far from Home,” during the outbreak of the Korean War, four North Koreans move southward and live in freight cars, but this movement to escape the horrors of war also exposes them to being further traumatized by their homelessness. The characters in “The Fragment,” on the other hand, are able to secure a space in a warehouse in Busan, but the atmosphere coupled with tension with residents over basic necessities is just as traumatizing. These indicate that the infrastructures and conditions within, which can be as ordinary as needing a shelter to sleep in and water to wash themselves, traumatize further the already traumatized. The war, as an extraordinary event, traumatized the refugees—but their movements to safety and refuge, in response to it, cut more traumas.

In December 2018, the Japanese government introduced “Initiatives to Accept Foreign Nationals and for the Realization of Society of Harmonious Coexistence.” This initiative aimed at a more robust and comprehensive approach toward accepting and integrating foreign talents. The Japanese government also developed the Roadmap for the Realization of a Society of Harmonious Coexistence with Foreign Nationals. This roadmap delineates policies to achieve a symbiotic society and outlines the vision for an environment where foreigners coexist harmoniously with Japanese nationals. With an anticipated rise in the foreign population in Japan, the Japanese government designated the Ministry of Justice as the central authority for overseeing the acceptance and integration of foreign talents across governmental levels. In Japan, this was acknowledged as pivotal for the nation’s future rather than solely addressing labor shortages and the plan involved a comprehensive, longterm policy review. South Korea also faces various societal challenges due to a declining birthrate, making the acceptance of foreign immigrants indispensable. Japan’s pursuit of a gradual transition to an immigration society while promoting acceptance and coexistence of foreign talent presents significant implications for Korea, which is seeking to introduce a new immigration policy.

The COVID-19 pandemic created an immobility situation that was not just a quarantine issue, but formed meta-discourses in all areas related to human life, including politics, economy, diplomacy, education, and culture. Even in the urgent situation of these meta-discourses in which nations had to decide on their future, discourses existed about daily life and the unusual lives of individuals caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. To record the testimonies of that era, the Mobility Humanities Education Center at Konkuk University has collected writings on life changed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were written by middle and high school students, college students, and ordinary citizens. This paper attempts a narrative analysis of the 51 essays to explore how Koreans are influenced by meta-discourses, to examine that era, and make suggestions for the future.

This paper is a study that reveals the literary historical significance of the planned serialization “Romance in History” of the Dong-A Ilbo and the subsequent serialization “Children’s Chosun.” In this regard, based on a series of surveys on newspaper serials, including “Romance in History,” Kang Mi-Jung tried to reveal the function of private painting during this period and link it with the development of historical literature theory. Taking the achievements and limitations of the preceding studies as a starting point for discussion, this paper attempted to reconsider the literary and historical status of the series “Romance in History.” In order to derive the practical basis, this paper analyzed the text from the background of the appearance of “Romance in History,” the actual status of the series, and the level of formal aesthetics. As a result, it was verified that “Romance in History,” which was greatly welcomed by the public, was a genealogical precedent that suggested a motif for the creation of historical novels in the newspaper series entering the prosperity of the 1930s. It was also confirmed that it was the background and test that inspired the creation of historical novels.

This paper sheds new light on Jeju Island as a unique touristic site where the painful history of exploitation during the Japanese colonial era and the beautiful landscape co-exist. “Dark tourism” refers to visiting a place where a historical tragedy occurred to remember and memorialize past events. Most recently, Jeju Island was announced as an ‘Island of World Peace’ whence a message of peace is to be conveyed to its visitors through tourism. Focusing on Jeju Island offers an opportunity to re-interpret dark tourism. Central to this study have been the questions of reinterpretation of Jeju Island as a ‘space’ reflecting its own characteristics of place. In this article, we aim to explore the possibility of transitioning from a tragic historical place to one emblematic of peace through the retooled message conveyed to visitors, as well as through historical education tourism. We visited the military facilities, GamaOreum, Cave Fort, and the Jeju Peace Museum, as well as Altteureu Airfield, which was built during Japanese occupation, through seven separate field studies from April 2018 to July 2022. Remnants of the Japanese colonial era remain throughout the islands and the history is still relevant to local residents. This study highlights the importance of considering the local community and their residential area in developing a tourist destination. This study presents a new angle of promising applications for future tourism resources in Jeju Island.

This article examines the evolution of the intertwined narratives of nation and womanhood in three iconic Indonesian novels: Belenggu (1940), Sri Sumarah (1975), and Durga Umayi (1991), each of which, respectively, depicts female protagonists wrestling with life challenges during three different historical epochs of the Indonesian nation-state. I argue that these novels portray three distinct conceptions of an evolving Indonesian nationalism as reflected through the struggles of these characters. The first of these, Belenggu, highlights the hybrid nature of emerging Indonesian nationalism through the symbolic deployment of hybrid music–keroncong–as a central trope. The second novel, Sri Sumarah, depicts the culturally idealized qualities of a submissive woman–embodied in its titular character–and the gendered nature of nationalism. The third, Durga Umayi, kaleidoscopically maps the biography of its heroine onto the triumphs and defeats of the nation as experienced from the perspective of the subaltern subject, thus depicting the project of nation-building as seen, experienced, and lived from an inferior social position. Taken together these three novels dramatize three different stages of Indonesia as “imagined community”: from the promise and the peril of the early years as an emerging nation-state, to its division along ideological lines before and after the 1965 coup, and ultimately to the failed promises attending the spread of neoliberalism and globalization in subsequent decades.

The current study identifies the characteristics of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) and hosting experiences of Vietnamese marriage-migrant women in their home country and Korea. A total of 20 in-depth interviews were the basis of the analysis. Findings show that the Vietnamese migrant women are the actors whose traditional boundary between the host (e.g., tourism service providers) and the guest (e.g., group package tourists) is blurred. Vietnamese marriage-migrant women are familiar with both the home and the receiving country as well as the VFR guests and hosts. They show confidence in hosting and visiting friends and relatives and traveling to both countries. This study further shows how structural regulations, family, and individual characteristics shape the VFR hosting and visiting experiences, implying dual or blurred identities as the host and the guest reflect post-tourism characteristics. Ultimately, this study further argues that the unique identity and hosting/visiting experiences of Vietnamese marriage-migrant women shape travel patterns and their perceptions while traveling with friends and relatives.
