Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of a decorative art. Architectural works are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Korean traditional architectural form and wooden furniture were improved by adding up an organic coordination in the interior space. Furniture adds beauty of life by being coordinated with the interior space with its particular characteristic in the form of architectural structure. Architecture and furniture are also being improved in a more natural and diverse way. Therefore, in this research, from the choice of the location, Korean traditional architecture is considered to be coordinated with the nature, and the technical skill is lessened to express its beauty. There is a presence of elegance yet robust combination of simplicity and beauty. In addition, the traditional architecture and wooden furniture are completely expressed structurally with coordination of the outstanding design and solid structure according to the thrifty living in the Confucian ideas which influenced the Korean traditional society. The representative of Korean traditional architecture, Baeheulrim pillar, has worked as motive because of its visual comfort caused by optical illusion and formative elements. The small portable dining table (Soban) which reflects the characteristic of Korean unique tradition and the sensitivity of Koreans has been reinterpreted through the motive in this research. As a result, it has shown the possibility as the design element to change the aesthetic structure. In the modern society, cultural identity plays a vital role. Therefore, this research can be used as reference for the new concept of furniture - making. It could be a combination of modern people, lifestyle and living space by creating the Korean image suitable for the modern society.

기계나 로봇은 인류의 실존적인 기반에 질문을 던진다. 기계들은 인간의 사고방식에 영향을 주었으며, 사회철학과 가치체계까지 변화시켜왔다. 이와 동시에 기계들은 줄곧 다양하고, 매력적인 특징들을 함유해왔다. 기계기술의 발전은 인류의 발전이라는 상징적 의미와 동시에 인간 존재를 위협하는 위험성이라는 상징적 의미를 함께 가지고 있다. 이러한 기계의 양가적인 특징들을 현대조각의 키네틱 요소에서도 발견할 수 있다. 필자는 조각적인 작품 중에서도 기계나 기계의 메커니즘을 활용하는 조각에 초점을 맞추었다. 이를 역사적인 발전과정을 통해 검토하였으며, 현대미술의 특정 예시들을 당대의 대표 모델로 논하였다. 본 연구는 키네틱아트와 설치미술 분야에서 두각을 나타내는 두 명의 젊은 동시대 작가인, 최우람(Choe u-ram)과 예페 하인(Jeppe Hein)을 대표모델로 선정하였다. 두 작가는 기계나 기계의 메커니즘을 사용하는 동양과 서양의 작가로서, 두 작가의 표현방식의 차이가 존재한다. 예시로 몇 가지 작품을 제시하고, 비교를 통하여 두 작가의 문화적 차이와 시각 언어의 차이가 나타나는 이유에 대하여 분석하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 글로벌화된 세계에서도 지역적 특징이 항상 남아있음을 결론으로 제시한다.

The purpose of this research is to suggest the conceptual and aesthetic characteristics of fantasy reflected in the characters and the costumes of fantasy movies, which were released since the year 2000. The followings are the results of the research: The conceptual characteristics of fantasy reflected in the characters and the costumes of fantasy movies are summarized as representation of reality, allegory and symbols, horror, desire, deconstruction and metamorphosis, otherness and counter-cultural sentiments. The aesthetic characteristics of the costumes of fantasy movies are defined as typicality and symbolism, grotesqueness, sensuality, hybridization, and otherness. These characteristics are very interconnected. The costumes of heroic characters appearing in fantasy movies show strong side of standard while the costumes of the evil characters revealed the limit of dualistic point of worldview centered on West. Heroic characters show realistic and human side that reflects the ethos of the time. Negative characters such as the devil or witches, which were created in human imagination and emotion, become the dynamic force of fantasy movies through their deviant actions. Their clothes, with variety and hybridization, become the source of creativity expected in present society.

이 논문은 국내에서 수년 전부터 유행하고 있는 북유럽디자인 소비에 대한 분석을 통해 한국 소비문화의 흐름에서 일본의 역할을 조명하는 연구이다. 비서구 국가 중 유일하게 선진 자본주의 국가의 대열에 합류했고 1980년대에는 미국과 경제력을 다투었던 일본이었지만 문화적 영향력에 대한 평가는 낮았다. 그런 일본이 1990년대 들어 대중문화상품으로 동아시아 지역에 어필하다가 대중문화 상품의 인기가 가라앉은 후에는 만화, 게임, 애니메이션 등 오타쿠계 서브컬쳐로 글로벌한 문화적 영향력을 행사하고 있다. 이 글에서는 1990년대부터 부상한 일본 문화의 영향력을 새로운 자포니즘으로 보고 한국의 북유럽 소비가 자포니즘의 매개와 주도 하에 진행되어 왔음을 제시한다. 일본이 구성한 북유럽에 대한 의미와 상징이 한국의 북유럽 소비에서 관철되고 있다는 의미이다. 의미와 스타일의 측면에서 일본의 슬로무비는 북유럽디자인에 미국발 '킨포크' 코드를 결합시켰다. 디자인의 측면에서는 아르누보를 매개로 일본 미학은 북유럽디자인과 시각적 유사성을 얻을 수 있었고 일본 가와이이 자카소품을 통해 북유럽디자인과 시각적 친숙함도 확보했다. 무엇보다 일본 잡화브랜드들이 출시한 북유럽풍 생활소품들을 통해 일상 속으로 북유럽디자인이 스며들었다. 또한 국내의 북유럽 소비는 일본 오타쿠들이 서브컬쳐를 포스트모던하게 소비하는 방식인 데이터베이스 소비방식으로 진행되고 있다. 일본이 만들어낸 북유럽에 대한 모에 요소가 한국에서도 북유럽 소비의 기호로 작동하고 있는 것이다.

Uymsikdimibang(음식디미방) - a book written around 1670 and implying the methods of understanding the taste of food and drink - records many kinds of alcoholic drinks. it is obviously a practical problem to explain the process of brewing alcoholic drinks. However, if we intend to approach the alcoholic drinks on the practical aspect, we can not explain why many kinds of alcoholic drinks were brewed. I acknowledge only that it was true to have brewed rice wine easily on the basis of the increase of the production of rice and the two-crop farming system of rice and barley in a paddy field as well as, for many kinds of alcoholic drinks to have increased as a result of the development of brewage since the middle and second half of Chosun. It is not until we approach the alcoholic drinks of those days on the level of meaning, value, and symbol that we can get a correct answer as to why Uymsikdimibang records many kinds of alcoholic drinks. In the second half of Chosun, confucian ideology was firmly established in country village societies, the idea of clan rules was instituted, and patriarchal system was organized. Such a social atmosphere was to emphasize the practice of confucian moral principle such as performing religious service on one's ancestors and receiving a guest, and in the course of it, the alcoholic drinks were recognized as important materials all the more. It seems that the subdivision and elaborateness of the meaning of the alcoholic drinks were in progress. As a result, I think that the alcoholic drinks would vary in kind and be graded. From ancient times, the alcoholic drinks were men's favorite foods, and the significance of the authority and prestige given to the alcoholic drinks was increasingly promoted by the rise of the social position of men in the second half of Chosun under the influence of confucian ideology. Subsequently, the alcoholic drinks became symbols which represented even the family's tradition and dignity. Therefore, men born of the nobility(Yangban) tried to brew the various and dignified alcoholic drinks relatively. Through the brewage such as this, they endeavored to maintain their privilege. I think that the diversification of alcoholic drinks was developed in the process of a series of social-institutional change.

Among elements of play, there are puppets performances and shadows performance which are replacing actors by puppets and shadows. Puppet performance is characteristic of expressing various movements and symbols at its conveniences by the reduced models of human form with various materials. Shadow performance is realized in various colors that cannot be discovered in other countries by expressing mysterious cubic effect in reflecting the light against various forms. Mansukjung Nolum is a unique shadow performance that has been inherited in Korea. There are found many shadow performances inherited in the northern Europe and South-eastern Asia. Recently the silhouette animation in application of shadow performance is made. In the northern Europe and South-eastern Asia, they performed in white and black color while Mansukjung Nolum is performed in natural colors. Since they adopted the leather materials for making puppets, their opaque feature cannot reflect the colored light. But in Korea we adopted the specially colored semi-transparent Korean paper, which gives the colored shadows to spectators. Mansukjung Nolum consists of three acts for arousing attention of fallen monks destroying the teaching of Buddha. Seosanbakchumji Nolum is a puppet performance inherited in a village in Seosan, Choongnam instead of wandering artists. The story and form of performance in Namsadangpae's puppet play is mostly similar to it, but it is woven by its villages natural environment and specific dialects, reflecting their consciousness in mind. The villagers made the puppets and manipulate them in communicating their wisdom of life between them. Parkchumji Nolum is a kind of integral art combining puppet manipulation, witticism, songs and dances. The hero of Parkchumji discloses the social and structural conflicts of feudalism, in arousing the spectators' rich attention of self-awareness and lessons.

In recent years, young Chinese consumers have become more favorably inclined toward products relating to traditional culture. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a textile design that incorporates traditional Chinese patterns and cultural symbolism that will appeal to consumers from the MZ generation (millennials and Generation Z). Through a literature search for traditional Chinese patterns and symbols regarded as auspicious, our design concept and motives were established. We selected peony, lotus, and frog motifs as representative of a "wealth and eternal prosperity" design theme. In textile design work 1, we used hand drawing and watercolor techniques, color transformation with Adobe Photoshop, and colorway and end-use 3D simulation with TexPro. The 3D simulation work suggests that this textile pattern is suitable for women's outerwear, mufflers, and tote bags. Textile design work 2 conveyed the 'wealth and eternal prosperity' design theme and had a graceful mood that embodied the nobility of the lotus flower whilst also encompassing the symbolism of money and status. The end design is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Chinese patterns and motifs. As such, it is hoped that it will satisfy the needs of young consumers for cultural values yet offer a unique new aesthetic distinct from existing textile designs. These qualities can be expected to enhance the competitive market value of textiles bearing this design.
