Abstract:
In post-crisis Korea, facility (equipment) investment shows the worrisome trends of a slowdown in investment growth and a decline in investment propensity. We marshal micro and macro data to examine four major explanations for these important developments. Our analysis: (a) finds that cyclical factors such as depressed private consumption in 2003 and 2004 did lead to lower investments in automobiles, hence dragging down total investment growth in these years; (b) rejects the claim that investment was lowered by an “anti-chaebol environment” created by the Roh Moo-hyun government (facility investment by large firms actually increased by a great deal in 2003 and 2004, whereas aggregate investment in the national account showed anemic growth); (c) supports the “moral hazard” hypothesis, which states that chaebol investment in the pre-crisis period was abnormally high because of implicit state guarantees (the chaebol dummy in our investment equations was no longer statistically significant in the post-crisis period, in the aftermath of large-scale bankruptcies); and (d) supports the “hollowing-out” hypothesis, which holds that outward foreign direct investment has reduced domestic facility investment because the price competitiveness of final assembly and other labor-intensive sectors in Korea has been eroded by the rise of late-developing countries such as China and Vietnam.

Abstract:
Dans le monde de la science-fiction, les voitures autonomes sont pratiquement des véhicules standards. Dans la « vraie vie », nous rattrapons rapidement l’imagination des auteurs. Aujourd’hui encore, il semble qu’un nouveau système d’alerte soit ajouté chaque année. Des systèmes d’alerte de changement de voie et des assistants de distance et de stationnement sont déjà disponibles dans les voitures de milieu de gamme. Les modèles les plus chers se conduisent pratiquement tout seuls, au moins en mode stop-and-go. Est-ce à dire que les banlieusards ont le temps de faire une petite sieste dans les embouteillages quotidiens du matin ? La technologie n’en est pas encore tout à fait là, mais il existe une réelle concurrence entre les constructeurs automobiles sur la voie de la conduite autonome.

Abstract:
The first in-depth engagement with and close reading of Anankè, this essay focuses on how Cixous's novel plays with and rewrites psychoanalytic concepts and practices. The critical elaboration of her own ‘cixanalysis’ in this fiction-as-becoming and journey, which reinvents psychoanalysis as it gives free creative rein to woman's desire instead of pathologizing it, unfolds in six related studies: on ‘conduct’ (about autonomy, automobile and behaviour), ‘habit’ (as well as habitation and clothing), staging (about the relation between analysis and the theatrical), transference and/as translation, the interpretation of interpretation (also on telephones), and the shift from drive to drift in Cixous's fictional liberation of woman from destiny and destination.

Abstract:
Motorsports games and simulated automobile racing occupy a dynamic genre of computer games for entertaining play, critical game studies and ‘auto-play’. This article utilizes the lens of speculative design to present six scenarios that seek to motivate the design of autonomous eMotorsports games and play experiences through alternative design fictions. These fictions serve to help identify and tease out how different socio-technical configurations emerging around autonomous vehicles, motorsports games, sim racing user interfaces and user experiences, embrace or exclude different stakeholders. These stakeholders can shape how autonomous eMotorsports games, game play and game viewing will emerge and prosper. These fictions also serve as a narrative web of possible socio-technical configurations open to critical review through: (1) transhumanist spectacle and spectating; (2) technofeminist and gendered framings of these configurations; and (3) whether digital artefacts configured to realize autonomous eMotorsports games have politics.

Abstract:
Dans l'industrie automobile, les réductions de masse permettent des économies de matières premières et des gains importants en performance. Cet allégement ne peut cependant pas se faire au détriment des exigences en matière de confort et de sécurité. Dans ce contexte, l'objectif de l'optimisation topologique est de déterminer, en amont des projets, les caractéristiques générales des pièces mécaniques. Les logiciels commerciaux actuels ne permettant pas l'intégration de toutes les contraintes déclinées sur les projets véhicules, notamment les contraintes vibro-accoustiques, nous proposons dans cette thèse une méthodologie et une solution logicielle associée, permettant la prise en compte d'un cahier des charges conforme à ceux utilisés chez Renault. Nous combinons pour cela la méthode d'optimisation topologique SIMP et l'algorithme d'optimisation numérique FSQP. Après avoir évalué notre méthode sur des cas de géométrie simple, nous montrons son potentiel sur le cas d'une face accessoires.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the pulp era (c. 1926-1940) of American science fiction and explores how a distinct techno-optimism dominated this era. This pulp era optimism is best exemplified by the influential editor Hugo Gernsback and the magazines he started: Amazing Stories and Wonder Stories. However, this chapter argues that many writers who appeared in Gernsback’s magazines stridently condemned the automobiles of their own time. Where their technological optimism manifests itself, then, is in their belief that the automobile is not worthy of abandonment and that a certain perfectibility resides in the machine.

Abstract:
Chapter Three focuses on works from the New Wave era (c. 1960-1975) by Ursula K. Le Guin, Harlan Ellison, and Ernest Callenbach. The primary goal of the chapter will be to highlight how some science fiction writers of the Sixties and Seventies responded to two important events related to transportation: the dramatic spike in annual automobile fatalities that began in the early-1960s and climaxed in the early-1970s, and the growing environmentalism of this era.

Abstract:
Chapter 3 traces a long arc from rural to urban, and from the railroad to the automobile, the airplane, and finally the telephone, as the culture of modernity scales up human velocities—of movement and of thinking—asymptotically toward light speed, with all the attendant epiphanies, stresses, and blindnesses such radical transformation brings. At the center of this analysis are the 1931 novel Sanctuary, with its conspicuous flirtations with popular formulae; the 1932 story “Death Drag,” which hinges on an aerial stunt performed by a Depression-era barnstorming outfit; and the 1935 novel Pylon, typically dismissed as “minor” Faulkner despite its explicit overtures toward the style and subject matter of international high modernism. In these fictions, speed also poses technical challenges to the author, who experiments with characterization, imagery, diction, and point of view to evoke the distortions, estrangements, and other intensities that modern velocities impose/bestow on human interiority and behavior.
