세계적으로 인터넷 이용 인구는 2002년 2월 현재 5억 4천 4백만여명에 이르고 있으며, 우리나라의 인터넷 이용 인구는 2001년 12월말 자료에 의하면 2천4백3십8만여명에 달하는 것으로 보고되고 있다(한국 인터넷정보센터통계보고서, 2002). 또한, 네오위즈는 작년 한 해 아바타 매출 100억원을 돌파, 다모임은 지난해 12월 한달간의 아바타 매출이 3억 6000만원에 달하였으며, 다움(Daum)의 경우 서비스 개시 15일 만에 일일 발생 매출이 1천만원 돌파, 현재 1일 3천500만원의 수익을 올리는 등, 아바타 선두 업체 뿐 아니라 후발 주자들도 큰 수익 창출하고 있다(Economy21- 2002.04.25). 올 한해 아바타 시장규모는 800억원-1000억원으로 예상되고 있으며, 이러한 시장 증대에 따라 기존 캐릭터 업체들이 구축계약 위주에서 서비스 제휴사업으로 아바타모델 제안 및 시장영업이 증대되고 있다. 즉, 아바타 시장은 구축되어 있는 것이 아니라 계속적으로 확대되어 가고 있음. 또한 아바타산업은 인터넷 인프라의 확산과 더불어 아바타의 호응 또한 급격히 상승하고 있으며, 단순히 사이버 세계에서의 분신으로서의 역할에서 벗어나 다양한 부가가치를 구현하는 아바타의 등장으로 아바타의 확산은 계속적인 추세이다. 또한 아바타는 게임, 채팅, 일정관리등 인터넷 전 분야에 걸쳐 Cyber Agent활용도가 확산되고 있으며, 아바타 시장은 초기 일본형 애니메이션 아바타에서 벗어나 아바타와 패션, 아바타와 문화의 접목에 대한 관심이 상승되고 있으며 이로 인한 신규시장이 창출되고 있다 이러한 디지털 시대로의 급격한 발전은 복식문화를 디지털 문화컨텐츠 사업화로의 그 발전방향을 제시하고 있다.2cm 적용하고, 진동두께 계산식은 (B/8-1.5)+2cm를 적용함으로써 진동깊이와 진동두께의 편차가 작아짐으로 인해 소매부위와 진동부위의 맞음새를 향상시켰다. 3) 가슴둘레의 증가에 따라 등길이에 앞길이 치수를 증가시키는 계산식을 설정하여 앞가슴둘레의 맞음새를 향상시켰다. 4) Plus-size여성의 경우 허리부분의 신체적합성을 높이기 위하여 사이드 판넬(side panel)의 재킷원형으로 하였다. 앞 허리와 배 부분의 지방 침착이 크므로 앞 허리둘레 다아트 폭과 앞판 사이드 판넬(side panel) 솔기 다아트 폭을 작게 설정하고, 뒤판 사이드 판넬 솔기 폭을 크게 설정하였다. 5) 어깨끝점 사이길이는 다른 부위의 체지방 침착과 같이 비례적으로 증가하지 않으므로 표준체형에 비해 좁게 설정하였다. 보여주어 우리나라의 선호 질감과는 차이가 있었다. 실제 판매율을 살펴본 결과 주관적 질감 이미지 평가의 선호도와의 비교에서 약간의 차이가 있었는데, 이는 질감 외에 가격이 구매에 영향을 미쳤기 때문으로 분석되었다., 2002; Huun et al, 2001).의 특징이라 할 수 있겠다. 대한 자부심과 국제 사회에서 차별화 할 수 있는 한국 복식 디자인에 독창성과 창조성을 표현하는 중요한 영역임을 인식할 수 있었다.와 보호인자를 재확인할 필요가 있다고 보며 본 연구의 결과는 지역민의 대장직장암 예방을 위한 영양교육 자료로서 활용될 수 있다고 본다. 관여도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 유지되어 쾌적역이 향상된 것으로 사려된다.하였으며, 효율적인 색채 정보로서 활용될 수 있는 패션 색채 팔레트를 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.′, aesthetic of ′unity in multiplicity′, a

Based on an analysis of the Japanese animation director Kamiyama Kenji's Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series, this paper discusses two important subjects in modern technoscience-cyborg and old age. In fact, age has been an important social and political category in the modern world, along with gender, race, and class. However, age has not been a significant research topic for STS scholars. Even though many of these investigators have extensively explored the complex relationship between gender and technoscience, especially after the publication of Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto" (1991), few of them have been interested in how age is reconfigured by modern science and technology. If women, as Haraway has claimed, can have a different political and cultural outlook by becoming cyborgs, then, can we expect a similar socio-cultural transformation with regard to the interaction between cyborg and old age? Do the elderly experience lesser age discrimination through the growth of biomedicine and technoscience? Indeed, it is believed that seniors are increasingly becoming cyborgs with advancing age, since their declining bodily functions are consistently replaced and assisted by various biomedical technologies. Does this enable them to overcome ageism and age discrimination as well as their alleged physiological and mental limitations? As an answer to this question, Mike Featherstone has asserted that becoming a cyborg in old age could make the wrinkled skin a mere mask and create diverse new possibilities that were hitherto unavailable to an aging person. Based on my reading of Ghost in the Shell, however, I analyze a more complex set of problems when the senile cyborg is created through the encounter between the elderly and technoscience. I argue that while the senile cyborg could challenge traditional family ideology and nationalism it would leave ageism intact and define a new individualistic life form through a body controlled within the globalized internet and capitalist economy.

Regarding works that express objects realistically in painting, Gustave Courbet advocated realism in the mid-19th century, France, resisting the then academist style of painting, and works in realist style were produced in earnest by painters such as H. Daumier or Jean F. Millet, who went along with him. Later, realism has expanded into the realm of general literature, including fine art, which has had profound impacts on works of art and literary works. In comics, too, in the same historical context as a form of painting, realistic comics began to be produced by painters or cartoonists at the time. These realism comics are those dealing with stories based on facts, and in terms of contents, objective description and representation of the social realities of the times is one of the most important objectives, but it could not be concluded that in their visual aspect, that is, that of expressing the objects, they were realistic. In the meantime, a graphic novel was born, which was the intermediate form between comics and novels around the United States and Europe since the 1980s. Graphic novels appeared in forms and styles with strong literary and artistic values in the comics market in the U.S. which was full of the superhero genre (comics around heroes), and their major characteristics are very realistic expressions in terms of contents and visual aspect. They are complex and delicate and even have artistic, literary values as if readers read a fiction or literary work of which its narrative structures or pictures are produced with graphics. The characteristics of realistic expressions shown in graphic novels are very different from the previous works of comics. It is noteworthy that they began to be acknowledged as works of art like painting or illustration, thanks to their features of strongly individual auteurist painting style, a fairly high degree of completion of the works, and creative and experimental expression techniques or methods, instead of following the fashion of the times. In recent years, in South Korea, Hollywood blockbuster films have been released one after another and become box office hits, there are increasing interest and demand for the original graphic novels. Accordingly, many original graphic novels have been translated and started to be sold, and keeping pace with this global flow of fashion, some writers in Korea began to produce works of graphic novels. However, to look into the domestic works produced claiming to be graphic novels, there are various opinions on their format and authenticity. In this sense, this study focused on Ga-ya Kwon's Namhansanseong, one the representative works of Korean style graphic novels, and in particular, it attempted to analyze their characteristics and commonalities focusing on the visual aspect of realistic expressions of objects. It is expected that there would be an opportunity to seek for ways so that Korean style graphic novel can be further developed as a genre of comics, with competitiveness by looking back on the identity and present state of domestic graphic novels and developing and applying Korea's original subject matters differentiated from those of graphic novels in the U.S., Europe or Japan through this study. In addition, it is desired that they will be a new energizer for the stagnant domestic comics market.
