With a growing concern about climate change and green house gases mitigation, carbon labeling policy has been launched in several countries as an environmental policy which connects low carbon production to low carbon consumption. This research aims to propose a model that explains consumers' attitude and brand loyalty toward carbon labeling products. This model specifies the consumer's psychological processes by which consumer values, such as autonomy and environmental values, affect carbon labeling product and corporate images and finally form brand loyalty toward carbon labeling products. Panel data were collected in two separate surveys and analyzed using a structural equation technique. Results are summarized as follows. First, consumers' autonomy value(AV) positively affects locus of control(LC) and corporate image(CI). Second, consumers' environmental value(EV) positively influences perceived consumer effectiveness(PCE), which in turn has a negative effect on perceived barriers(PB). Perceived barriers finally affect product image(PI) negatively. Third, both corporate image and product image have causal relationships with brand loyalty. Our results suggest that carbon labeling policy contributes not only to the reduction of greenhouse gases but also to the increase of consumers' attitude and brand loyalty toward carbon labeling products. This research also provides governments with directions for efficient environmental policy and firms with guidance on effective marketing strategies about carbon labeling.

이 글은 물질의 본질로 규정한 아리스토텔레스의 색채론과 디지털이미지의 비물질적 특성으로서의 검정을 전제로, <신과 함께>의 서사를 주도하는 인물과 이미지를 구성하는 공간에 채워진 검정의 의미를 분석한다. 할리우드영화에서 검정은 악의 근원이며 공포이다. 검정에 관한 예외적이고 특별한 특성을 성찰하는 철학, 회화, 문학에서의 비유와 달리, 대중영화에서 검정은 가장 보편적인 의미를 표현한다. 삶과 죽음의 경계를 오가는 <신과 함께>에서 검정은 저승의 공간과 차사라는 인물을 구성한다. 한국영화에서 검정은 상상의 공간을 상징화하는 유용한 색이다. 이 글은 한국영화 <신과 함께>에 사용된 검정을 통해 동서양 색채문화의 차이를 살펴보고, 사회문화적 맥락에 따라 상호작용하는 의미를 분석한다.
