Abstract

This article aims to introduce and analyze the alternative values of art network started to be mainly considering in contemporary art scene in South Korea since the 2000s especially cases of Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Yangachi and Rho Jae Oon. These three artists have experimented and established outstanding achievements in an alternative art network called Net Art. Founded in 1999, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries has shown text based works over the www.yhchang.com. Their works take a one-way conversation towards the audience. They deal with layers of the post-capitalism society. Yangachi shows a strong tendency as a positive and proactive activists by posing himself as a B-grade artist. Since 2002 he has steadily remarked about the problems of government, international politics and the community over the Internet. The project in the late 2000s suggests the third area in Korea and attempts the aesthetic consideration about the media environment along with rich narratives. Rho Jae Oon began to discover the possibilities of virtual space since the mid-1990s when the Internet network started to be constructed. He launched C21PICTURES in the virtual space in 2000 and started to produce pseudo-films. The audience connected to his web environment could obtain the possibilities to reconsider the visuality in our times.

Comic Pamphlets as Museum Marketing Strategy : A Case Study of Nya-eyes of The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography

Abstract
Comic Pamphlets as Museum Marketing Strategy : A Case Study of Nya-eyes of The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography ×

The past two or three decades have seen a series of museum transformations, one being a closer collaboration between museums and printing industries. Their growing collaboration is not only in line with media's traditional utilization of museums as a setting easily associated with romance, mystery and adventure, but also reflects a shift of museum vision towards one emphasizing the importance of visitors and the market. This research takes Nya-eyes, a monthly comic pamphlet launched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photograph in 2011, as a case study. The pamphlet is based upon the partnership among the Museum, Kodansha publishing house, and a manga artist. In the pamphlets, the museum staff, characterized as cats with rich and exaggerated personalities, show the audience the backstage stories of the Museum with absurd humor. Nya-eyes serves as a part of the Museum's marketing strategy to increase its publicity and boost its attendance. This case echoes the global trend and discloses local and institutional characteristics. Both the continuing difficulty for museums to secure public funding and the rise of the New Museum Theories that turn the attention from collection to communication leave their imprints on contemporary museum practices. Nya-eyes is among the attempts of the struggling museums to attract their visitors and generate income. In the Japanese cultural environment, the state carries out a relatively slim role and the media companies enthusiastically play their part, which also nurtures this comic pamphlet. On the institutional level, the Museum openly advocates its transparency and market orientation. Nya-eyes is one strong example of museum practices conforming to the global trends and revealing its local and institutional situations.

From the End of History to the Complexity of Man and Its Societies

Daniel Moatti

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.10 pp.3-12

Abstract
From the End of History to the Complexity of Man and Its Societies ×

Several thinkers had predicted the end of history, Marx in the nineteenth century, most recently Francis Fukuyama on the occasion of the fall of the Soviet empire. Yet history is very much necessary to understand the emergence of a global society driven by information technology and communication as well as rapid transport networks. Yet history and its rival, the philosophy, no longer able to analyze the tensions resulting from the birth of this new information society and cannot respond individually to the challenges posed by globalization. Clio and Athena must recognize the need for collaboration with other human sciences today to explore the intricacies of humanity evolving.

When the Time Fits to Space : A Case Study About Counting System Set Day in Corsica

Abstract
When the Time Fits to Space : A Case Study About Counting System Set Day in Corsica ×

How the encounter with mysterious signs visibly old can mark it personal history researcher and take on some territories markedless? These signs used for centuries by Corsican millers show the impact of writing and ancient ciphers, now almost forgotten. The Mediterranean islands guard the mystery of ancient scriptures and yet undeciphered as the A Linear in Crete or inscriptions on Phaistos Disc in Cyprus. Corsica participates in the story of the transcript of the oral and written by the system figures the best historians are unable to establish its origin.

History Proof Against Media : The Disappeared Empire Between Reason and Emotion

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.10 pp.77-110

Abstract
History Proof Against Media : The Disappeared Empire Between Reason and Emotion ×

The French Republic is built around an imaginary shaped by symbols and Republican hero. During the “thirty glorious years” young French and European young immigrants adhered to these unrestricted and customs widely distributed by the “black hussars of the Republic.” However, the current economic crisis affecting the entire nation, but also and especially young sensitive suburbs from a primarily African immigration (Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa) refers to the colonial past which is made of non--said. These silences allow imaginary constructions that affect the understanding of the world and the need for consistency of a nation. Therefore, the confrontation around the colonial empire disappeared between publicized studies of historians and imaginary media also children of immigration became inevitable.

Should Promote Education 2.0 Quickly in Schools, Collateral Damage of a Wild Implementation of ICTE

Jean-Paul Lafrance

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.10 pp.111-126

Abstract
Should Promote Education 2.0 Quickly in Schools, Collateral Damage of a Wild Implementation of ICTE ×

The author analyzes the failure of the project to establish a TBI (interactive whiteboard) in all schools in Quebec and it reveals the causes. It then looks at the chances of success of the massive introduction of digital tablet. He concludes that, pushed by orders of industrial equipment, the project is unlikely to succeed because we did not take into account the social context of the operation to be a co-construction process between all partners. In education, teachers are often the victims of “inventions” of educational technologists who are so quick to implement their new systems. Fortunately, the project creates controversy in Quebec and the public debate has been launched.

Abstract
Elements for an History of Didactics of World Social's School Subjects : Citizenship Education-Geography-History ×

From 1960 creates and perpetuates a new field of knowledge: educational. This science, which studies particular teaching methods, fits into a context where the school system enters an area of great difficulty extending to the current period. Therefore, the role of social sciences taught in school, college and high school takes a special importance on educational policy and plans. Thus the analysis of textbooks and teaching methods of geography, history and citizenship education over forty years deserves careful study.

Abstract
A Particular Aspect of Economic History : The Challenges of Intellectual Property ×

The law of intellectual property is born with printing in the fifteenth century. He took all his legal dimension in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with the constant advances in printing and reproduction means of printed works. However, recent existence of the Internet disrupts the legal structure of intellectual property itself. Because the law separates the author, the provider and the consumer. However, recent developments in practice shows that often informed consumer is a wise author. Should we oppose to achieve effective protection of intellectual property?
