본 연구는 할리우드의 최근 로맨틱 코미디 영화인 <프로포즈(2009)>를 대상으로 하여 미국 할리우드 로맨틱 코미디 영화의 장르적 관습이 관객에게 수용되는 데 있어 관객의 국적이나 젠더가 그 수용 양상의 차이에 어떤 영향을 끼치고 있는가 하는 문제를 실증적으로 확인하고자 시도하였다. 할리우드 로맨틱 코미디 장르는 대부분 남녀 배우가 드러내는 매력을 중심으로 하여, 이들이 만나고 헤어지는 어느 정도 관습화된 플롯 위에 전개하는 특징을 갖고 있다. 영화 <프로포즈> 역시 이러한 관습화된 플롯 구조를 한편으로는 따르면서, 한편으로는 변주하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영화 <프로포즈>에 등장하는 '배우'와 '등장인물'이라는 요소와, 할리우드의 일반적인 로맨틱 코미디 플롯에서 '사랑의 완성'으로 제시되는 '결혼식'과 '프로포즈'라는 요소가 한국과 미국이라는 국적과, 남성과 여성이라는 젠더에 따라서 어떤 다른 선호가 나타나는가 하는 바를 관객 반응을 묻는 설문조사와 통계를 통해 살펴보았고, 관객이 지향하는 가치들 사이의 상관성 분석을 통해 드러나는 의미를 해명하였다.

Mule Bone (1931), Zora Neale Hurston's collaboration with Langston Hughes, has been credited as the 'first' attempted by African Americans to create black folk comedy. The proposed research is driven from a question to the recent scholarship's tacit consent on such historic importance imposed on the play. This paper suggests a possibility that De Turkey and De Law (1930), Hurston's edition of the collaboration work, could be the truly first attempt in the tradition of American black folk comedy. By illuminating a series of historical moments in which Hurston first expressed her dream for writing a real black folk comedy that would be a really new departure in the African American drama, then collaborated with Hughes on the dream play project, and eventually quit the collaborationship due to artistic dispute with Hughes, this paper explains why Hughes edition Mule Bone came to remain 'unfinished' and, more importantly, fall short of Hurston's original goal and expectation from the collaboration. On the other hand, this paper sheds light on the significance of often-ignored Hurston's edition De Turkey and De Law by demonstrating how this play, compared to Mule Bone, fulfills her original idea of black folk comedy in terms of contents and themes compared with Mule Bone. Adding to the knowledge about little known behind story related to the Mule Bone controversy and the subsequent birth of the two different editions of the Hurston-Hushes collaboration project, supplementing the dearth of the related research with a critical comparison of the two editions, and discussing the validity of Hurston's edition as the real sense of black folk comedy, this paper argues for the necessity of reconsidering the origin of the mentioned genre. This paper finally concludes that De Turkey and De Law, replacing Mule Bone, deserves a right to be truly the first American black folk comedy genre in the sense that it was completed and copyrighted three months earlier than Mule Bone and that, more importantly, it cherished the original aim and artistic vision of black folk comedy Hurston first planned and expected through the collaboration with Hughes.

The character dialogue created by AI is unnatural when compared with human-made dialogue, and it can not reveal the character's personality properly in spite of remarkable development of AI. The purpose of this paper is to classify characters through the linguistic style and to investigate the relation of the specific linguistic style with the personality. We analyzed the dialogues of 92 characters selected from total 60 movies categorized four movie genres, such as romantic comedy, action, comedy and horror/thriller, using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), a text analysis software. As a result, we confirmed that there is a unique language style according to genre. Especially, we could find that the emotional tone than analytical thinking are two important features to classify. They were analyzed as very important features for classification as the precision and recall is over 78% for romantic comedy and action. However, the precision and recall were 66% and 50% for comedy and horror/thriller. Their impact on classification was less than romantic comedy and action genre. The characters of romantic comedy deal with the affection between men and women using a very high value of emotional tone than analytical thinking. The characters of action genre who need rational judgment to perform mission have much greater analytical thinking than emotional tone. Additionally, in the case of comedy and horror/thriller, we analyzed that they have many kinds of characters and that characters often change their personalities in the story.

Among the styles of performing arts, perhaps the genre that has attracted the largest audience would be musical. Popularity of musical has brought diverse changes in our performing arts market, and, upon emerging another musical genre, called 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy,' it has been well-received by the audiences. 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' is a word that are formed by merging two other terms such as 'Korean Traditional Music' and 'Musical (Comedy).' In the meantime, however, it has yet some problems in order to be defined as the genre that has concrete concepts. It is because the term such as Korean Traditional Musical Comedy was created being closely associated with a marketing purpose rather than a term that defines the characteristics of a genre of performing arts. Although this new musical genre has drawn attentions of many audiences by adding 'Musical Comedy' to 'Korean Traditional Music' that was not quite popular to the public, it still does not have any established forms so that there is a fine line between "Korean Traditional Musical Comedy" and another genre like traditional style folk opera ("Changgeuk"). Looking at the characteristics of the musical work called 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy, in general, first of all, it is a performance where music and drama are played. Here, the distinctive characteristic of this musical is that 'Korean Traditional Music' is sung. And the kinds of Korean traditional musics being sung are mainly Pansori (dramatic story-singing) and folk-songs, and, in most cases, Korean traditional musical instruments are being used as accompanying music. In this paper, the researcher investigated the aspects of experiment centering around Korean Musical Group, Taroo. These days, various experiments has been repeated not only for the works of Taroo but other musical work presently called 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' also. Having encompassed overall performance factors including use of musical instruments, dance, acting, materials for drama as well as music in drama, the researcher has gone through experiments repeatedly. Meanwhile, however, the subject matters that make 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' mostly attractive to the audiences are music and songs or sounds. ["Sori" also called "Chang" (唱)] Particularly, under the current situation of our musicals, the role of "Sori" is extremely important. The factor that plays absolutely most important role in acceptance and transformation of "Sori" is the created Pansori. Since the created Pansori is composed with new rhythmic patterns and new narrative poems, it tells the present story. Also it draws good responses from the audiences owing to easy conveyance of dialogues. And, its new style brings diversification to organization of musical instruments, so then this leads to the arrangements of music for Korean traditional music instruments, as well as instrumental music ensemble, orchestra, and jazz band, etc. Likewise, upon appearing creative musics in 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy,' professional music and vocal compositions have begun to emerge naturally. And, the song specialist and writer, of course, staffs including direction, lighting, and sounds, etc are required. That is, professional composition method are forced to be introduced to all areas. Other than this, there are many music pieces which are based on our unique songs and sounds ("Sori") and such traditional factors as use of lead singer for ceremony or chorus, and the method that puts weight on Pansori. Accordingly many things accomplished. However, it is required that 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' go through numerous discussions and more experiments. Above all, the most important things are the role of actor and actress, and their changes, and training of actor and actress further. Good news is there are good audience responses. 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' is an open genre. As musicals are divided into several domains according to the characteristics thereof, 'Korean Traditional Musical Comedy' will be able to show its distinctive features in various styles according to embodiment.

영화 <기생충>은 봉준호 감독과 대한민국을 세계 일류 국가 반열에 올린 작품이다. 수많은 연구자들이 다양한 시선으로 자신들의 관심분야에 따라 <기생충>에 관한 연구 성과를 발표했다. 본고는 블랙코미디 장르가 영화에 도입된 역사적 사실들을 알아보고 연극에서 출발한 블랙코미디가 베케트, 이오네스코, 뒤렌마트, 브레히트 같은 현대작가들의 시선을 거치면서 규정된 법칙은 아니지만 서사적 특징과 양식적 수단으로 사용되어진 장치들이 나타났다. 희비극 연극에 사용된 장치들은 영화의 블랙코미디 개념과 동일하며 영화만의 특성으로 자리매김 하고 있다. 블랙코미디의 서사적 특징인 역설, 의도·목적과 결과의 불일치, 그리고 양식적 수단으로 사용되어진 패러디, 그로테스크, 우연이라는 요소로 영화<기생충>에 나타난 영상의 의미를 해석해 본다. 봉준호 감독이 <기생충>에 사용한 블랙코미디는 세상에 어떤 의미를 던지고 관객은 그 의미를 어떻게 받아들여졌는지 살펴보고자 한다. 현대작가들이 세상을 바라보는 시선과 봉준호 감독이 바라보는 연민어린 시선이 전혀 다르지 않지만 작품의 결과는 현대작가들과 사뭇 다른 그의 영화 <기생충>의 창의성에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The significance of this research lies in the analysis of that appears in the comedy . It also aims to propose conceptual and analytical costume designs that emphasize the formal aspects of play by reflecting on the comical elements simultaneously. , the subject of this study, was played on November 12, 2009 at the Small Theater (Dalohreum Theater) in the National Theater as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Suwon Women's College. The costumes were designed by this researcher and were produced in collaboration with the Creative Performances Research Institute (Suwon Women's College). The comic elements were categorized into deconstruction, deviation and unexpectedness according to previous studies on the humorous nature of comedy, and their aesthetic meanings were applied to the costumes. The designs that reflect the comic elements are as follows. The costume design reflecting deconstruction is a way that disassembles and recombines constructive aspects of clothing. It consists of seam margins outside or just left disassembled without sewing, dismantling the boundary of outerwear and underwear. The costume design reflects deviation because reformed shapes of collars, the variation of length and closure of skirts deviate from the traditional style. These are designed by distorting traditional designs with deviation and transcend of tradition. The costume designs the reflect unexpectedness integrates both tradition and the contemporary, and use materials of diversity and heterogeneity, and these are composed of external formats the result from incongruity. Because comic elements are metaphysical concepts that carry meanings that are difficult to define according to the country and period, it is required to analyze, organize and utilize their characteristics and meanings of each period. Since this study analyzed the comical elements of a play and applied them to costume design, it is hoped that a follow-up study of analytical costume design is be done, and that more diverse and more creative costume designs are in the next generation.

이 연구는 사랑과 성을 다루는 로맨틱 코미디 영화에서 화면 분할 기법이 작품의 서사 목표와 전략에 맞게 어떻게 활용되는지를 검토한다. 로맨틱 코미디의 플롯은 남녀의 결합을 지향하지만 코믹한 상황과 에피소드를 통해 그 결합을 최대한 지연시키는 구조로 되어 있다. 이러한 지연 구조에서, 로맨틱 코미디 영화의 화면 분할은 대개 구성점2 이전에 배치되어, 영화의 초점을 두 남녀 주인공에게로 집중시키면서 코미디를 창출하는 특징을 보인다. 화면 분할이 웃음을 유발하는 방식은 두 주인공 인물 간의 정보 격차에 따르는 긴장감, 대사의 중의법, 그리고 분할된 이미지의 결합을 활용하는 것이며, 웃음의 소재는 사랑과 성에 관련한 것들이다. 연구의 검토 대상이 된 로맨틱 코미디 영화는 마이클 고든 Michael Gordon의 <필로우 톡 Pillow Talk>(1959)과 피톤 리드 Peyton Reed의 <다운 위드 러브 Down with Love>(2003)이다.

The Canadian public broadcaster CBC had successfully aired a sitcom centered on a Korean immigrant family from 2016 to 2021. The show is based on the play Kim's Convenience written by a Korean-Canadian playwright Ins Choi. This study explores literary features of Kim's Convenience that accounts for its popularity; three elements of the show play crucial roles in maintaining the balance between specificity and universality. First, Choi deploys a Korean immigrant story in the form of comedy. Second, the main plot revolves around an ordinary family with generational strains that ends in reconciliation. Third. the Kims are depicted more as an archetypical family than a stereotypically Asian one. By closely interweaving these elements, Choi induces the audience to find commonalities from the show, and racial specificities of the Kim's family become "spicy" attractions of the play.
