This study investigates the concept of the body in Korean traditional costume by comparing the traditional costumes of the west and those of Korea while focusing on the relationship between the body and dress. In order to make a comparison of the traditional perspectives on the body in western and Korean costumes, this study examines the literature of history, art, medicine, philosophy as well as dress from the mid-fourteenth century to the nineteenth century pertaining to the west and those of the Joseon Dynasty Korea. Western dress assumes apparent formal structures and pursues overall harmony via the completeness of its entities, while traditional Korean dress subordinates the parts to the whole, emphasizing the organic total. Whereas the proportion of bodily structure is stressed in western traditional costume, in Korean costume the body is perceived as a whole. By revealing the body through the three dimensionalities of dress, the focus on the erogenous body parts is shifting in conventional western dress according to changes in aesthetic consciousness, which reflects the western ideas of objectiveness and self-centeredness. In traditional Korean dress, in the space between the body and dress, the emphasis is on planarization of the dress, which assumes the oriental relationship-centeredness concept.

최근 시장개방과 더불어 각종 문화매체의 통한 문화교류와 급속도로 증가하고 있는 인터넷 이용은 현대사회의 대중문화의 글로벌화를 만들어 현대인의 가치관에 큰 변화를 주고 있다. 특히 20세기 이전까지 전통적인 사회를 고수하고 있던 비서구권의 문화가 보다 서구적이며 비전통적으로 변화되어 가고 있다(Featherstone, 1990). 1988년의 이미 Triandis 등의 연구자들은 일본문화에 대한 연구에서 일본인들의 가치관이 전통적인 집단주의 측면보다 서구적인 개인주의 측면이 보다 강하게 나타나기 시작한다고 보고하였다. (중략)

복식은 그 시대의 분위기와 취향을 흡수하여 이를 반영하며 착용자의 지위와 욕구를 보여 준다. 19세기에 접어들면서 서구 사회는 프랑스 혁명과 산업혁명의 결과로 기존의 귀족과 평민이라는 계급의 장벽이 무너지고 공업화와 비약적인 경제발전으로 고도의 산업사회로의 성장을 계속하게 되었다. 이러한 고도의 경제성장은 물질만능주의의 사회풍조를 가져왔으며 이는 기존의 신분위주의 사회계급을 경제력 위주의 사회계급으로 재편성되게 하였다. (중략)

A view of the Orientalism that sees the Orient as the inferior Other, characterized by the heterogenic, eccentric, backward, and passive features, has been internalized in the unconsciousness of Westerners. 'Orientalism' which is the cultural device and the system of discourse to put Asia in the fixed frame of dominance was the West European centered term, designating Southwest Asia including South Europe and North Africa as Orient, and contained the idea that non-Western society could progress only with the acceptance of Western civilization. Accordingly, it is need to use this term deliberately. In addition, even though the Asian Look of the West, borrowing the images and costume styles of Asia has lost the original mentality of Asia, it was not initiated from the perception that sees Asia as the inferior Other. Since the Asian Ethnic Look is the Western costume, borrowing the image of Orient and style by being fascinated by Oriental Aesthetics, the attributes of it are different from those of Orientalism. Therefore, it is not appropriate to designate the Asian Ethnic Look as 'Orientalism Fashion' or 'Oriental Look' except for some eccentric manipulation of Asia costume and image. Instead, it is desirable to exchange the term 'Asian Look', 'Asian Fashion', and 'Asian Ethnic Look' upon occasions or the name of individual nation or region can be referred to as preferred alternatives. Today, Asia including Korea is taking the initiative in the World Fashion as one of central axes of World Fashion Industry, and cannot be interpreted from the perspective of West Centrism. Now, it's time to dissolve the dichotomous prejudice of the West centrism on Asia's own strength.

지난 30년 동안 서구과학계는 엄청난 변화의 물결이 일어났다. 과학은 무미건조하고 어떤 감동도 주지 못하며 예술과는 거리가 멀다고 생각해 왔다. 그러나 과학과 예술과 함께 자연을 경험하는 두 가지 상호 보완적인 방법의 하나로서 최근 자연 속의 복잡한 모양이 내재하는 규칙을 이해하려는 프렉탈 과학을 통하여 과학과 예술간의 실제적 접목이 여러 가지 방향으로 시도되고 있다. 우리의 미적 감각은 자연에 나타나는 질서와 무질서의 조화로운 배열에 의해서 영감을 받는다. (중략)

As a type of intimate architecture, fashion has always mediated the dialogue between clothes and the body, or fashion and figure. This study seeks to inquire the current aesthetic consciousness of the body and dress in Japanese avant-garde fashion and intends to research the features and meanings in the pastiche of Western sartorial convention in Japanese avant-garde fashion in order to examine the changing aesthetic attitude in postmodern fashion. The study investigates subjects of the fashion collections of the turn of the twenty-first century, when pastiche strategies frequently appeared in Japanese avant-garde fashion, through the methodology of literature research and case analysis. The results of the study are as follows: by developing the strategy of pastiche, Japanese avant-garde fashion exposes the defectiveness of the Western idea of the idealized and standardized body for mass productions, thus freeing design from its traditional confinement to the human body. Drawing on the re-conceptualization of the sartorial convention of Western tradition, Japanese avant-garde fashion designers tend to experiment with extreme exaggeration in form, refusing to subscribe to the traditional Western values built on the balance and symmetry of the body. Through the combination of the past and the present as well as the inner-wear as outerwear strategy, the historical pastiche challenges convention and symbolism, which results in the discord between signifiant and signifi$\acute{e}$ of clothing.

최근 소비자들은 쾌적한 삶의 추구와 가족 중심적 사고로 여가와 레저를 중시하고 물리적 가치보다 정보가치와 시간가치를 더욱 중요시하여 쇼핑에서도 편익성을 추구하는 경향이다. 이와 함께 국내의 소비생활 양식이 서구형으로 변화하고, 교육기회의 증가, 신용사회의 정착, 정보화 사회의 출현 등 홈쇼핑 시장의 성숙조건이 갖추어져 있어 홈쇼핑에 대한 수요는 더욱 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 이에 본 연구는 홈쇼핑으로 의류제품을 구매하는 소비자의 특성을 파악하여 홈쇼핑 활성화에 다소 도움을 주기 위하여 실시되었다. (중략)
