The principal purpose of this study is to analyse and critique how precisely the representation of women in the film Retrato de Teresa reconstructs the socio-cultural image of the female in the late seventies of Cuban society. The film of Pastor Vega is obviously an outstanding challenge on the new subject of 'women's liberation' against machismo in the context of the Cuban society. Teresa, the female character, as a socio-cultural image of the Cuban society don't focuses on the declarative and iconic images of the women's role as a revolutionary heroin that had appeared frequently in the films of the sixties, but she struggles for getting more realistic and pragmatic values such as women's emancipation to take rights in daily life. Therefore, the declaration of the emancipation of Teresa against machismo of her husband $Ram{\acute{o}}n$ has the special and symbolic meanings of social role and function of the film in the process of Cuban cultural revolution. The film concentrates on inducing the audience to make new perspectives such as women and gender issues in the daily experience of Cuban society where the machista ideologies and practices characteristic of a patriarchal society. Conclusively the female image of this film does not represent a national heroin, but reflects the women's desire, hope, and dreams in the society. Teresa makes the audience think of representations of the true meanings of the revolution in daily life, the machista ideologies in the patriarchal society, and the women's role and fuction in the Cuban society.

This study attempted to investigate the perspective of the skirts of male and female students by analyzing the differences in image evaluation according to the constituent elements (type, length, and wearing method) of men's skirt designs in modern fashion. The study included 109 male and female college students from Generation Z residing or whose life center was in Gwangju Metropolitan City, to evaluate 12 images depicting types of men's skirts. First, the constituent image evaluation factors according to the constituent design elements of men's skirts were analyzed. Second, the differences in each constituent image evaluation factor based on the constituent design elements of men's skirt designs were analyzed. Third, the gender-based differences in image evaluation by men and women concerning the constituent design elements of men's skirt designs were analyzed. The analysis included relatively more women than men. The results of the image recognition dimension included the following categories: "attractive image," "evaluable image," "gender image," and "personality image." In modern fashion, skirts are used to express the diverse personalities of men's fashion. Thus, they are used beyond the stereotype of women's clothing, toward expanding and diversifying the image of men's clothing through mixing and creating a dichotomous image of men and women. It can be used as a design that suggests a gender-fluid image.

The earlier notion of feminism regarding gender equality was changed into that of Postfeminism because of gender differences. The idea of Postfeminism has been present since the 1980s but has been influenced by modern culture theories such as Postmodernism, Poststructuralism, Theory of Power and Discourse and Psychoanalysis. Various features of Postfeminism are found in the medieval warrior images of contemporary fashion. Warrior costumes were men's exclusive property in the medieval ages, but as it is introduced as women's wear in the 21st century, it shows us new fashion images which are constructed by gender deconstruction, differences and pastiche. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to examine a key characteristic of Postfeminism fashion. An article described the historical costumes of medieval warriors and refocused on the development processes of feminism and then conducted an analysis on formative characteristics and Postfeminism tendencies in contemporary women's wear from 2000 to 2011. The results were that materials such as metallic and flexible materials, monotonic and red colors and detailed patterns of armor were used to display forms of exaggeration and restraint. These elements fully and correctly expressed the image of a medieval warrior woman in contemporary fashion. Postfeminism fashion is constructed with feminine power, gendered identity, sensual elegance and a postmodern body. Postfeminism is the contemporary cultural icon and is continuously influencing modern fashion design in the 21st century in a positive and powerful way.

본 논문은 한국, 미국, 일본 세 문화권의 애니메이션에 나타난 여성 캐릭터의 재현 서사를 비교 분석하고, 이를 통해서 각 문화권이 대중에게 제시하고자 하는 여성 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성을 도출했다. 이를 위해 먼저 2장에서는 문화권별 애니메이션 속 여성 캐릭터들의 표면적 이미지를 분석하고, 특히 이것이 어떠한 현실 인식을 반영하는지 살펴봤다. 애니메이션 속 여성 캐릭터들은, 대표적 문화 기호로 작용하면서 해당 문화권의 패러다임과 질서를 체현하고 있었다. 3장에서는 애니메이션 전체의 서사 구조 내에서 여성 캐릭터들이 극적 사건을 해결하는 방식을 비교 분석하고, 이를 통해서 여성 캐릭터의 행동과 사건 층위에서 나타난 문화적 함의를 도출했다. 한국의 경우 현실세계의 아이돌을 현실 연장적 맥락 안에서 모방했으며, 미국의 경우 비현실적 슈퍼 히어로를 실제 세계의 질서를 강화하는데 활용했다. 한편 일본의 경우에는 마법소녀로 하여금 매직 서클을 만들고 초현실적 여신으로 강림하도록 유도한다. 이처럼 본 논문은 애니메이션 속의 여성 캐릭터가 현실에 대한 인식과 문화적 패러다임에 따라서 해당 문화권의 남성 중심적 이데올로기를 각각 차별적으로 반영하고 있음을 밝혀냈다.
