  • This study takes a look at the distinct and exclusive culture of Latin America, with a specific focus on Mexico, and attempts to understand its unique cultural identity by comparing, analyzing, and evaluating the characteristics of the Mexican fashion brands, Taller Flora and F$\acute{a}$brica Social, which are brands that have actively used the Latin American cultural identity in its designs. The research method was as follows: 1) performing literature research with specialty publications and thesis that dealt with the two brands 2) analyzing the contents of various articles from the Internet and interviews related to the brands. Thus, this research attempts to understand the characteristics of the fashion brands that use the cultural traits of Latin America in order to dissect its methods and find a way to apply it so that it can be used in different cultures, and in effect, lead to the advancement of the fashion industries, in general. Taller Flora and F$\acute{a}$brica Social are two brands that are able to stand out with a distinct identity by applying traditional native Latin American qualities in its products, as well as its products reflecting a respectful and balanced relationship between people and nature. The characteristics of the two brands are as follows: 1) showing the concept of "the coexistence of diversity" by expressing "the old and the new", "simplicity and flash", and "melding of the Western culture via colonialism and traditional cultures of the aboriginals and other diverse native cultures" 2) achieving "the recovery of the human dignity" by protecting the human rights of the native female artisans and building a network for equality 3) pursuing "free naturalism" by balancing the natural provision of nature and man in addition to promoting environmental protection and conservation of goods 4) becoming "the bridge between communication and exchange" by connecting the artisan, the designer and the consumers together, or the producer and the market, as well as the different cultures of markets from diverse countries.

  • 본 연구는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 수행한 다문화 청소년 패널조사 자료를 활용하여 다문화 청소년의 이중문화 수용 태도가 문화 적응 스트레스와 국가정체성에 어느 정도 유의미한 영향을 받는지를 검증하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 다문화 청소년 패널조사 2기 1차 자료로 2019년 기준 초등학교 4학년에 재학하고 있었던 다문화 청소년 2,246명을 분석자료로 활용하였다. 연구 결과 이중문화 수용 태도는 국가정체성, 문화 적응 스트레스 순으로 유의미한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이 의미는 국가정체성이 높고, 문화 적응 스트레스를 적게 받을수록 이중문화 수용 태도가 높다는 것이다. 한편 다문화 청소년의 유형에서는 국제결혼 가정이 가장 낮은 이중문화 수용 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 학생들이 거주하는 지역 규모에서는 대도시가 가장 낮은 이중문화 수용 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다문화 청소년의 이중문화 수용 태도에 문화 적응 스트레스와 국가정체성, 다문화 가정의 유형과 거주하는 지역이 주요한 변인으로 작용한다는 것을 시사하는 것이다.

  • This study seeks to find new strategies for the development of Tapgol Park and to identify Programs to promote this development. In addition, the study specifies the purpose and meaning of these efforts by revealing social aspects not apparent in the physical form of the site, and reading how these aspects influenced the development of Tapgol Park Because the focus of the study lies in reading cultural aspects of the site which have to be understood within the context of their social circumstances, the study drew materials from mass media such as newspapers and literary magazines, which best reflect these social aspects. Interpreting the over 100 you history of Tapgol Park in a cultural context, the study found a meaningful suggestion that such a small urban place located in a city forms a cultural identity in the course of communicating with its surrounding social situations. The change in the identity of Tapgol Park has been sensitive to changing social circumstances rather than the physical structure of the space. The original function of Tapgol Park as a traditional city park has gradually changed towards strengthening social functions, much like the character of an urban plaza. In the process of change the park developed a unique culture. This park culture, however, came not from the original design but from its close interactions with social circumstances changing over time. At the same time, the change in identity seen in Tapgol Park has not been fresh formed. It can be said that the inertia came into light with the potential powers under the place over the long history having been combined into the then social circumstances. In early 2002, the park re-opened, refurbished as one of the relics of the March 1st Movement. Investigating how cultural inertias that have been developing in various forms to date will change and be maintained in this new paradigm is an important assignment for researchers.

  • 동아시아의 지역적 정체성은 역사-지리적 실재에 근거할 때 비로소 더욱 성공적으로 대중적 동의를 얻을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 최근에 확대된 장소 개념을 이용하여 동아시아 문화지역의 역사-지리적 설정을 시도하고자 한다. 동아시아 문화지역에 일체성을 부여하는 것은 복수적 장소들이 공유하는 문화적 동질성이 아니라 다양한 공간 규모를 가지는 단일한 장소 내부의 문화적 혼합이다. 문화적 혼합은 지배가 아니면 저항, 그리고 때로는 뒤엉킴의 형태로 표현되는 것이다. "경합 장소로서의 산악"이라는 개념은 동아시아 내부의 문화적 동일성을 탐구하기 위한 실험적 노력의 일환으로 제안되었다. 이러한 장소 개념은 산악을 제외한 다른 공간적 단위-가옥, 정원, 촌락, 도시 등-에 대한 연구들로 확대되어 적용될 필요가 있다. 왜냐하면 이러한 연구들이 축적되면 결국 동아시아가 역사-지리적으로 특정한 문화적 동일성을 가진 장소라는 정의가 구체적으로 가능해질 것이기 때문이다.

  • 본 연구는 한국의 문화정체성을 표현하는 대표적 이미지어들을 도출함으로써 디자인 분야에서 활용할 수 있는 한국의 정서와 이미지를 구체적인 어휘로 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 방법으로는 1990년대에 발표된 복식과 건축 디자인 논문 중에서 한국의 이미지를 현대적 의미로 재해석한 논문을 중심으로, 디자인 요소, 디자인 원리, 추상성, 표현성 그리고 기능성의 요인과 관련된 이미지어를 유형별로 범주화하여 분석하였다. 복식과 건축디자인 분야를 대상으로 한국의 이미지에 대한 공통성과 차별성을 규명한 결과, 이제까지 보편적으로 인식되어오던 한국의 이미지와 함께 새로운 측면도 발견할 수 있었다. 즉, 이제까지 한국의 문화 정체성을 나타낸다고 인식되어온 무채색, 소박함, 한과 비애, 간접적 표현 등을 나타내는 이미지 외에도 화려한 색채, 고귀함, 즐거움 등과 같은 적극적이고 능동적인 표현도 한국의 문화정체성을 나타내는데 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 건축디자인에서는 복식디자인보다 기능적이고 합리적인 이미지가 도출되었다.

  • A matter of primary concern about all the design is concentrated on how to create more valuable things to allow people to live an affluent life. However, it is very difficult to achieve the goal because every design work is changed in accordance with given situations. Situations are changeable, so is design. There is no progress without change, but change is not necessarily progress. It is highly desirable that their changes be beneficial to mankind. Our main problem is to be able to discrimination between which should be discarded and that which should be kept, built and improved Viewed at this aspect, it is significant to study the relation between globalism and cultural identity of design, because every design has been constantly influenced by global trends and local characteristics. The paper is composed of four parts Introduction, Characteristic of global design, Cultural identity of design and Conclusion In Introduction, the purpose and background of the study are presented. In Chapter1. social back ground, multi-kinds smallproduction and new problems and searched. In Chapter2, vernacular design, transmission and propagation and tradition and innovation are considered.

  • This paper reports on an ongoing study that utilizes the literacy autobiographies of 10 Asian and 10 Western graduate students from TESOL Masters programs in Korea and America as data for a cross cultural study on the discursive process of identity formation and the development of critical consciousness (Freire, 2000). While the data suggests similarities and differences between cultures in terms of the effects of education, social relationships, media, and religion, no definitive claims may be made due to the small size of the research corpus. However, analysis of the data revealed that only four of the narratives could be judged as engaging in critical introspection of individual subjects systems of knowledge, values, and beliefs, as opposed to the other narratives that were primarily descriptive of individual personal experiences. As such, this study found that while the willingness and ability to engage in the critical practices which lead to the development of a critical consciousness are similar across cultures, they may be mediated by the literacy practices inscribed in education, media, and other social practices.

  • The aim of this study is to understand how English textbooks in Korea and Japan reflect English education policies for improving the English language learners' cultural ability. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the method of analyzing English textbooks was used because English textbooks are an important tool that most specifically reflects the English policy of a country. This study analyzed a total of six English textbooks, three middle school English textbooks currently used in Korea and three in Japan. We analyzed nouns/pronouns related to culture presented in the reading section included in each unit, and compared cultural diversity and cultural identity included in English textbooks in Korea and Japan. As a result, it was found that both countries experienced cultural diversity through English education and introduced their cultural pride to Western culture to realize the goal of strengthening global capabilities. This textbook analysis results show that English textbooks of Korea and Japan depend on American/British cultures and norms. The cultural contents of English textbooks in Korea and Japan tend to focus on geography, food and drink, festivals and activities, family and education systems, etc. And English textbooks in Korea and Japan include the cultural sections in each lesson, but they don't suggest how to relate these cultural sections into the learners' real experiences. These results can be utilized as the motives from which both countries develop English education policy and textbooks in the future.
