In the case of Korean technology companies, it is being used as a means of increasing technological power to mobilize nationalism while actually being incorporated into the global capital circulation system. \u003cbr\u003eMoreover, the AI ​​transformation (AX) discourse is systematically sacrificing citizens' data sovereignty and democratic control while justifying \"speed capitalism\" that absolutizes the \"speed battle.\"\u003cbr\u003e This paper proposes the design of an 'AI deceleration device' based on the principles of 'speed alignment' and 'body alignment' to counter this 'hyper-accelerated technological capitalism.'\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, we argue that true AI sovereignty can only be realized through a democratic governance system based on citizen sovereignty and

historical process of planetary universalization of capitalism, is ongoing, but the order of neoliberalism and 'Chimerica' is over. \u003cbr\u003eShin Hyun-woo diagnoses that the long-term cycle of the world system is being restructured into 'spatial adjustment to neural networks' due to the spread of AI.\u003cbr\u003e The extinction of space through time, in which the circulation of capital is compressed by the trend of an endless decline in the rate of profit due to the development and diffusion of technology, spreads to global networks and neural networks.\u003cbr\u003e He defines AI as a “world system technology system” that extracts the three heats of the planet (Earth heat, semiconductor heat, and human body heat) based on data, semiconductors, and energy.\u003cbr\u003e As a technological system of the world system, AI greatly complicates the mechanisms by which previous empires consolidated cores, peripheries, and dependencies.\u003cbr\u003e Today, the US-China hegemony competition is not a clash between two imperial powers, the US and China, but rather a competition and entanglement surrounding three heats of capitalist circulation, a \"thermal war\" over AI. \u003cbr\u003eShin Hyun-woo argues that what was defined as an “imperialist zone” in existing world-system theory should be redefined as a “Bigtech zone,” and he captures that AI, as a technological system of the world-system, is turning capitalism into a techno-feudalist one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Critical Review of the Changes in Labor Structure Driven by the Adoption and Augmentation of AI: Focusing on the Risks of Biased Capital Utilization and Labor Control \/ Kim Jong-jin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article critically analyzes the changes in the labor market brought about by AI technology from the perspective of the risk of biased capital utilization and labor control.\u003cbr\u003e To this end, a survey of 881 domestic workers reveals, through concrete data, the reality that the impact of AI is sharply differentiated depending on employment type. \u003cbr\u003eThe survey results showed that while the introduction of AI led to positive effects for regular workers, such as 'shortened working hours' and 'reduced workload,' non-regular workers had a high level of negative perceptions, such as 'reduced workload' and 'anxiety and stress about job loss.'\u003cbr\u003e In particular, platform workers and freelancers were found to be the most vulnerable, having experienced a decrease in actual work and income.\u003cbr\u003e Workers also expressed anxiety about surveillance disguised as monitoring, fearing that data collection through AI could invade their privacy and lead to decisions that would be detrimental to them.\u003cbr\u003e In this regard, the author argues that it is time to question whether AI is truly a socially useful technology, and that AI should be socially regulated in unproductive cases that worsen employment relations. \u003cbr\u003eTo this end, he emphasizes the urgent need for a social consensus that introduces bias audits to prevent hiring discrimination, institutionalizes legal responsibility for labor control, and clearly distinguishes between areas where AI is prohibited and permitted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Artificial Intelligence as an Ideology-Generating Device and a Colonial Extraction System \/ Kim Sang-min\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article argues that artificial intelligence is not only an ideology-generating device, but also operates as an ideology itself, specifically transforming how we perceive and experience the world.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, AI changes the way we think about things and intervenes in the very social processes that create meaning.\u003cbr\u003e Big Tech invests enormous resources in AI, which it operates as a monopoly service, and it makes people think that it is neutral, objective, perfect, and superior media. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, a series of studies have shown that using AI in creative processes such as writing causes “cognitive debt” (decreased neural connectivity and memory).\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, AI homogenizes human intellectual inquiry and has the fatal consequence of normalizing and outsourcing sociocultural thinking.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Sang-min defines this reality as the colonial order of the AI ​​empire and urges the creation of a new cultural order that counters the extraction of AI ideology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Korea's Basic Artificial Intelligence Act and \"Affected Persons\" \/ Jang Yeo-kyung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article examines the background and issues surrounding the promotion of the Korean Artificial Intelligence Basic Act, emphasizing the importance of a human rights-based approach to artificial intelligence. \u003cbr\u003eJang Yeo-kyung, who summarized the background of the push for the enactment of the Basic Act on Artificial Intelligence in Korea as being deregulation and the establishment of AI governance centered on the Ministry of Science and ICT, points out that the main stakeholders in the AI ​​Act are recognized only as the industry and the Ministry of Science and ICT.\u003cbr\u003e In contrast, international human rights norms are taking a human rights-based approach to artificial intelligence and are actively considering ways to protect those whose rights are affected by AI. Domestic civil society has also been demanding a human rights-based approach to the Basic Act on Artificial Intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e However, Jang Yeo-kyung criticizes that civil society's demands are only partially reflected, and that there are no measures in place to actively provide relief to those who have suffered damage. \u003cbr\u003eHe is concerned that the interests related to artificial intelligence are currently limited to industry and the state, and that the state's obligation to protect human rights is weakened due to the artificial intelligence ecosystem. He emphasizes that in the society we will create together with artificial intelligence, the masters of democracy will be people, not industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Planning \/ Genealogy of

in racism, hostile politics, and violence, and seeks the strength in everyday life to avoid falling prey to far-right fascism.\u003cbr\u003e This article does not view the far right as a form of nationalism, but argues that nationalism and racism should be distinguished and understood as racism based on the logic of exclusion.\u003cbr\u003e In Korea, racist thinking took root in society through the process of racialization of 'reds'. \u003cbr\u003eHe also criticizes the limitations of politics that establish an 'enemy', points out the limitations of hostile thinking, and argues that the care and continuation of life for women and minorities is a stronger force than counter-violence.\u003cbr\u003e Peace and coexistence are not about eliminating enemies or being free of conflict, but rather the ability to endure extreme conflict, and it emphasizes that change can be created through such endurance.\u003cbr\u003e In this article, the author also suggests ways to break the chain of violence.\u003cbr\u003e Analyzing the differences between martial law forces in 1980 and 2024, the paper emphasizes that the activities of the Military Human Rights Center have contributed to restoring humanity within the military.\u003cbr\u003e If the destruction of humanity is what creates cruel perpetrators, then humane treatment is the answer.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, to combat far-right fascism, which gains power by promoting homophobia and misogyny, I suggest eliminating rape culture and properly pursuing sexual desire.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Gender (and Opposition) Politics of the Korean Far Right: Focusing on the Conservative Protestant Anti-Homosexual Movement \/ Kim Bo-myeong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article closely examines the case of conservative Protestant anti-gay movements as a point of intersection between the far right and gender politics.\u003cbr\u003e He focuses on the combination of \"pro-North Korean gays,\" which is a combination of anti-communism, the origin narrative of the far right, and the anti-homosexuality discourse actively promoted by conservative Protestants, and diagnoses that this is a combination of political and sexual categories, and that it fundamentally denies queer people by setting them up as enemies who cannot coexist with the national community. \u003cbr\u003eAnd the cancellation of the Arthouse Momo venue for the '2 Million Korean Church Joint Worship and Great Prayer Meeting' held in October 2024 under the banner of opposing the enactment of the Anti-Discrimination Act and the Queer Film Festival event held in May of this year faithfully follows the narrative of conservative Protestantism building a 'Christian nation', a territory that embodies the Christian spirit through the anti-homosexuality movement.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Bo-myeong points out that the complete separation of church and state is not possible because the original narrative of this \"Christian nation\" is fictitious, and argues that we must actively confront conservative Protestants in the public square and reconstruct the balance of differences and relationships between politics and religion within that boundary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Far-Right Emotional Politics and Pseudo-Direct Democracy \/ Jo Jeong-hwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article precisely diagnoses the emotional dynamics of the Korean far-right, which emerged before and after the recent impeachment of Yoon Seok-yeol. \u003cbr\u003eHe focuses on four scenes in the visibility of the Korean far right: ① the infiltration of the martial law army into the National Assembly, ② the violence at the Seoul Western District Court, ③ the cancellation of Yoon Seok-yeol's arrest and release, and ④ Lee Jun-seok's sexual assault remarks during the early presidential election debate.\u003cbr\u003e Your moment indicates that the Korean far right is using the representative system as a pretext to commit violence and is attempting to attack the sovereignty of the people itself.\u003cbr\u003e The far right has nurtured sentiments rejecting the republican system amidst decades of neoliberal dominance and its crises.\u003cbr\u003e Far-right neofascism, a global phenomenon, far from overcoming neoliberalism, instead exacerbates its internal contradictions by combining state authoritarianism and nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e This is manifested in the two forms of putting forward a non-verbal representation: the representative far right (occupying institutional power) and the exceptionalist far right (monopolizing the form of direct democracy). \u003cbr\u003eJo Jeong-hwan emphasizes the 'reconstruction of the multitude and the left' in a situation where the entire representative force (centrist conservatives and leftists) is being absorbed into the neoliberal order.\u003cbr\u003e He names the 2024 civil resistance as the 'Revolution of Light' in the continuation of the historical popular struggle, and emphasizes the 'subscendental' subjectivity that resists and transcends neoliberalism.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the left accepts the collective intelligence and direct action of the multitude as strategic leadership and argues that the \"common field of all things, including humans,\" must be expanded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Contemporary Analysis]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hereditary Class Society \/ Shin Gwang-yeong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article analyzes that, despite the discourse of meritocracy, modern Korean society is actually changing into a 'hereditary class society' in which class inheritance is solidified.\u003cbr\u003e The author cites Piketty's concept of \"hereditary capitalism\" and diagnoses that since the 1970s, the concentration and inheritance of wealth have accelerated as the rate of return on capital has exceeded the rate of economic growth. \u003cbr\u003eAnd just as the \"American Dream\" is disappearing in the United States, he argues, the possibilities for social mobility are steadily declining.\u003cbr\u003e This article categorizes class inheritance in modern society into three types.\u003cbr\u003e First, there is the middle-class educational mediation hereditary system, similar to Bourdieu's cultural capital, where the family's cultural background has a decisive influence on the children's educational achievements.\u003cbr\u003e The second is direct asset transfer through inheritance and gifts from the wealthy.\u003cbr\u003e In Korea, this is demonstrated by the extreme concentration of economic power among the five largest conglomerates, which account for 40% of GDP.\u003cbr\u003e Third, there is the hereditary social exclusion caused by lack of educational opportunities and inability to inherit assets.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, it is predicted that the low birth rate phenomenon will accelerate the concentration of assets and further solidify class

issues of non-regular professors in the humanities and social sciences, who have become symbols of the bleak reality and poor treatment.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, it points out the reality that universities and the government are violating the spirit of the agreement in the revised Instructor Act and are using various tricks to mass-produce non-regular professors, thereby worsening the overall working conditions of teachers.\u003cbr\u003e Part-time professors are assigned research assignments but are in a situation where they have little research space or compensation.\u003cbr\u003e Here, support of just 1% of the national R\u0026amp;D budget threatens the sustainability of research. \u003cbr\u003eThe author argues that fundamental solutions to these problems require the enactment of the Higher Education Finance Grant Act, long-term financial investment in securing employment stability and improving the research environment for non-tenured professors in the humanities and social sciences, and a shift from elite education to universal liberal arts education.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, he presents multiple tasks, including promoting researcher welfare laws, establishing researcher mutual aid associations, and strengthening solidarity through labor unions. He warns, “In a world where every area of ​​life is commercialized and all publicness is eliminated, if our scholarship collapses, the hope of a community escaping this hell that torments us will also disappear.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Rediscovering the Text]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When bodies meet and delay us \/ Yeon Hye-won\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article addresses the difficulties faced by women in the square through two books, 『In the World We Meet Again』 (by Kang Yu-jeong et al.) and 『When Such an Ordinary Me Creates the Light of the Square』 (by Lee Yu-jeong et al.). \u003cbr\u003eAlthough the women who came out to the square have been regarded and addressed as a homogeneous group since the beginning, the differences and heterogeneity among women do not disappear, and women sometimes experience division within them.\u003cbr\u003e Yeon Hye-won, who analyzed the two books as feminist autoethnography, diagnosed that these books took different paths within the internal division of the women's group.\u003cbr\u003e If the political power gap revealed by the authors of \"In a World We Meet Again\" hinted at the impossibility of communication, the discord and rifts more explicitly revealed in \"When I, So Ordinary, Create the Light of the Square\" are spoken of as conditions for solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e As Yeon Hye-won points out, isolation and powerlessness can be exacerbated when feminism unfolds in the anonymous space of online. \u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is extremely difficult and painful to confirm each other's differences in the square, Yeon Hye-won, who argues that solidarity feminism is possible in such a 'feeling of unity', emphasizes that we should pay more attention to the divisions of women rather than the pride forced upon them by the media and political circles that call out to women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The old is dying, but the new cannot yet be born.” \/ Lim Tae-hoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article evaluates Shin Hyun-woo's \"Algorithmic Capitalism\" as \"a significant achievement analyzing an era that has just passed,\" but also suggests that its analytical framework be critically reexamined and strengthened in the era of accelerating AI.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, Shin Hyun-woo's 'cognitive automation' is diagnosed as a 'bankruptcy of the ability to think', and the 'enclosure of metadata' has deepened into an 'ontological enclosure' that monopolizes even future possibilities. \u003cbr\u003eHe also points out that AI has evolved beyond a labor control agent to an autonomous \"actor\" that creates value on its own, and argues that this is a problem of \"dehumanization of value production\" that is leading to the extinction of humans.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, he warns that the concepts of \"commons neural networks\" and \"data sovereignty,\" which Shin Hyun-woo proposes as alternatives, risk avoiding governance issues or being subsumed into neoliberal logic.\u003cbr\u003e And as a substitute for them, it introduces the discussion of ‘social dividends for the creation base’ and proposes a resistance strategy through the establishment of a ‘political ecology of intelligence’, the establishment of a ‘protection zone for human uniqueness’, and the ‘politics of opacity’. \u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, we must now move beyond analyzing the dynamics of technological change and instead focus on a new reality in which the very concepts of humanity, value, and sovereignty are being fundamentally reshaped. We must invent technologies that will transform us into subjects that defy prediction and categorization, subjects that refuse to be read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A somewhat risky proposal from a reality-based policy researcher: the \"virtuous cycle of twin transitions\" \/ Kim Sang-cheol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article critically reviews “AI and the Future of Climate” (Kim Byeong-gwon).\u003cbr\u003e Kim Sang-cheol evaluates \"AI and the Future of Climate\" as providing a crucial reference point by meticulously organizing conflicting positions on digital and ecological transformations and suggesting realistic alternatives through a strategy of elimination.\u003cbr\u003e However, the author believes that before discussing the 'twin transition', its validity should be examined first. \u003cbr\u003eHe also noted that the book develops a methodology for diagnosing the level of twin transitions and presents various perspectives on digital transformation from the perspective of ecological transition, and he points out that there is an internal tension between the ecological economic perspective that the author seeks to maintain and policy research.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Sang-cheol then argues that in order to create the virtuous cycle of digital transformation and ecological transformation that the author aims for, the government must remember that it is not simply a problem solver but rather a problem creator, and therefore, it is necessary to consider controlling the government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Reconstruction of the theory]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Possibilities and Issues of Connecting Critical Cultural Studies and \"Object Logic\" \/ Kim Seong-yun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This article suggests that today's cultural studies must seek a third path, one that avoids the twin traps of anthropocentric inertia and the reification of material theory. \u003cbr\u003eThis article points out that the logic of things is not entirely new in cultural studies, which had references such as Benjamin and Foucault, but it also points out that today's logic of things, which advocates \"affect,\" \"vitalism,\" and \"new materialism,\" faces certain difficulties in fully connecting with critical cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e Accordingly, this article presents the conditions for a new problem set that allows cultural studies to smoothly connect the logic of things.\u003cbr\u003e The gist of it is that we must avoid falling into either the logic of words or the logic of things, that we must begin our political imagination from a secularized reality rather than a retrospective perspective, and that we must maintain a three-dimensional and comprehensive setting for the problematic form of 'exploitation-domination-alienation.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Image Curating] \/ Sim So-mi × Kim Sang-gyu\u003cbr\u003e Jang Jin-seung\u003cbr\u003e Min Chan-wook\u003cbr\u003e Estampa\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe image curation for this issue of 『Culture\/Science』 No. 123 focuses on how generative artificial intelligence, which is causing significant ripples throughout today's society, redefines the subject of the artist and the uniqueness of creation, and further raises fundamental questions about the concept of art and the ethics of creation.\u003cbr\u003e In this issue, we focus on artists who explore these concerns not only within the discourse of art, but also within the relationships between humans, machines, technology, and the world.\u003cbr\u003e The work of Jang Jin-seung, Min Chan-wook, and Estampa uses generative artificial intelligence to reveal changes across visual systems, knowledge, experience, and history, while simultaneously inviting reflection on the tensions and contradictions that exist between technology, culture, and power. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
