This lecture delves into how mobility varied among different social classes in the Joseon Dynasty, introducing the king’s royal processions, noble’s exiles, and commoners’ displacements, along with their historical meaning and characteristics.
1. The king’s mobility, despite Confucianism being the state religion, was a significant aspect of the Joseon Dynasty. Initially, it was a leisurely pursuit for the king, leveraging its legitimacy. However, it gradually transformed into a tool for strengthening royal authority. This lecture examines the frequency and purpose of king’s travels, their meaning and role in the context of time.

Using examples such as the exile of elephants and foreigners, this lecture also introduces notable places of exile like Jeju Island and Heuksando sand shares exile stories like Yakyong Jeong, highlighting their adaptation process and achievements. Finally, this lecture summarizes the pros and cons of exile and its historical meaning.

Using the case of Soonduk Moon, this lecture explains the movements of commoners during the Joseon Dynasty. Specifically, it investigates how the Joseon society dealt with displaced people, the process and treatment of those who were displaced, and the meaning of their repatriation within the Joseon social order.

1. Importance of Humanities in a Mobility Society
In our rapidly evolving world, the relevance of humanities, emphasizing intellectual, creative, and exploratory pursuits, is more pronounced than ever. As we transition into the era of mobility and the AI-driven 4.0 industry, creative thinking is as pivotal as critical thinking.
2. Realization of AI in a Mobility Society
Al technologies, such as autonomous vehicles and cloud-based home management systems, are becoming increasingly practical. Additionally, advancements like remote medical systems linked to flying cars and using big data for analysis and insights are rising.
3. Human-AI Integration in a Mobility Society
The era when humans were in complete control has ended. Humanity aims to live conveniently with the assistance of AI. With AI handling inconvenient or cumbersome tasks, humans can enjoy a higher quality of life.
This lecture explores the idea of citizenship and its historical changes. Citizenship has evolved beyond the modern boundaries of the democratic revolution, now encompassing broader social rights like ecology, peace, poverty, sustainability, welfare, and information rights. Moreover, future citizens, empowered by mobility technologies such as smartphones and social networks, will have enhanced citizenship, granting them new institutional powers. This will drive the reshaping of established social, political, and economic structures.
Politics shapes our life rules, thereby influencing our quality of life. In the age of mobility, it is crucial to understand elections and political information through various media and to foster healthy political discourse. To critically read the news, one must actively question its factual accuracy, verify the primary sources, and independently compare and analyse mainstream media news.
This lecture explores how social media might evolve, what mobility means and its features, and the different kinds of movie-related content. It also delves into how people use mobility services, examines mobility examples in movies, discusses what Netflix is all about, and explores cinema matching and recommendation algorithms.
As technology advances, it has brought a widespread and everyday use of high mobility, making convenience and movement a part of daily life. However, paradoxically, people’s perceptions are once again limited by the normalisation of a high-mobility lifestyle. Based on this paradox, this lecture explores the relationship between the transition of mobility and Japanese culture.
