  • 한국영화에서 무속 혹은 무당의 표상은 시대에 따라 달라져왔다. 2000년대 이후 무속과 무당은 영화의 주요소재와 인물로 이전보다 빈번히 등장하게 된다. 무당에 대한 본격적인 탐구는 다큐멘터리 작업에서 이루어지는데 <영매>, <사이에서>, <비단꽃길> 등이 이에 해당되는 작품들이다. 극영화에서도 무속과 무당은 보다 다양한 양상으로 소환된다. 무속인은 유괴사건을 해결하는 탐정의 역할로 등장하기도 하고, 로맨틱 코미디의 남, 녀 주인공이 되기도 한다. 본고에서는 최근 한국 오컬트 영화에 등장한 무속과 무당 표상에 대해 비교, 분석해 보려 한다. 공포영화의 하위 장르인 오컬트는 신비하고 초현실적인 존재를 인간과 대비시켜 공포 효과를 창출하는 영화이다. 여기서 다루고자 하는 <검은 사제들>, <곡성>, <장산범>은 이전까지 한국 오컬트영화에서 보기 힘들었던 새로운 소재와 시각적 효과를 활용한 작품들이다. 세 편의 영화에서 무당과 굿의 의미는 확연한 차별성을 보이고 있다. 이들 영화의 분석을 통해 한국적 오컬트 영화의 특성과 가능성을 탐색하고자 한다.

  • Media representations of race have attempted to contain blackness by packaging and commodifying it to reflect and affect preconceptions and prejudices of dominant culture. From the early beginnings of blackface minstrelsy as entertainment form in the $19^{th}$ century, representations of African Americans in popular culture and mainstream media have been closely associated with the notion of performance. The performative nature of racial representations is situated within the discursive struggle over what it meant to be Black, or what it meant to be labeled and portrayed as Black in American culture. This essay discusses four films that contain performances of "blackness" that assemble race and gender in complex configurations: Bamboozled (Spike Lee, 2000), Girl 6 (Spike Lee, 1996), Big Momma's House (Raja Gosnell, 2000), and White Chicks (Keenen Ivory Wayans, 2004). I explore how the performative nature of "blackness" is emphasized, thematized, and problematized in these films through the physicality of corporeal figures that embody the close link between race and gender identities. Once we are cognizant of the fact that race and gender are fabricated cultural constructs and performative acts, we can recognize that notions of "blackness" and "femininity" are not naturalized or essentialist, but open to recontextualization and revision.

  • This study examined the images and formative features of female characters portrayed in fantasy films. This study aimed at providing an applicable theory to modern fashion by reconsidering the images of women appearing in fantasy films and arranging fantastical features reflected in costumes of female characters. The followings were the results of the study: The first divine nature that human beings discovered was woman nature. The discovered stone worked of the prehistoric age had a meaning of the great mother of universe and expressed a positive image. Such positive images of the goddess were variously differentiated to negative images or reduced in their roles and meanings in the settlement process of patriarchy as well as sociocultural transition. The foremost examples of negative image were expressed as grotesque, destructive, otherness, sensual, and exotic. The positive image of a goddess in fantasy films was not especially emphasized. On the other hand, the negative images of the goddess and the case of costumes were variously expressed as well as emphasized the typicality of the negative image of the characters. It was reconsidered that the typical features of characters in fantasy films were a result of the image of women following sociocultural transition. In addition, it was confirmed that such result was being reflected in film costume.

  • Since modem times, civilization of scientific technology has rapidly expanded and resulted in many negative aspects. Dystopia is a skeptical future standpoint newly introduced by surging awareness of these negative aspects. The purpose of this study is to discover the common characteristics by studying costumes displayed in dystopian films which have critical view of the future. This study is made through the research of sundry records, thesis and capture images from DVD system. As a result of the study, the common formative characteristics of future costumes appearing in six dystopian films are classified into external characteristics and internal characteristics. First, external characteristics were analyzed according to the form, material and color. Second, internal characteristics of costumes appearing in dystopian films are categorized as the indeterminate expression, ex-typical expression and uniform expression. The above formative characteristics of dystopian future costumes can be described as the embodiment of meanings of influence from present and future cultural changes in terms of the characteristics of fashion.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine emerging trends in fashion films and the impact of COVID-19 through analysis of Prada films produced before and after the initial spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. We selected 40 cases occurring prior to the pandemic, from June to December 2019, and 21 cases occurring since the outbreak, from June to December 2020. To identify relevant trends, we conduct a literature review and examine a range of case studies. First, travel restrictions and confronting activities currently inhibit production. Through our case study analysis, we identify nineteen cases in between before and after COVID-19. Secondly, Prada can be seen to mainly produce episodes and promotional films. Additionally, it develops content showcasing brand values in environmental, cultural, creative, and sport-related fields; intended audiences extend beyond the realm of fashion. Thirdly, a new film category began to develop after the outbreak of COVID-19, namely, narrative films utilizing virtual interactions. According to our analysis results, we expect film production that is increasingly facilitated by virtual communication, technology utilization, and online platforms to continue even after the resolution of COVID-19. New film categories will emerge, and we predict that the gap between the number of cases before and after COVID-19 will narrow.

  • Cell attachment and proliferation on the polymer films of triblock copolymer(ester-ether)s comprising po1y (L-1actide) (PLLA) and poly (oxyethylene-co-oxypropylene)(PN) were investigated using 3T3 fibroblasts. It was found that on the tissue culture polystyrene(TCPS) and the PLLA control film the cells could spread well while on the copolymer films the cells showed a rounded morphology without spreading and proliferated weakly. Especially, little cells proliferated on the films of copolymer having a LN composition of 20 wt%. While the water absorption of the copolymer films increased with increasing PN content, the contact angle against water of copolymer films immersed in aqueous medium was almost identical, being slightly lower than that of the PLLA film. These properties were compatible with the results of cell attachment. The in vitro hydrolysis of the films of triblock and multiblock type copolymers was faster with increasing PN content. The increased hydrolyzability, the flexibility and the decreased cell attachment suggested that these copolymers may have high potential as biodegradable materials for medical use.

  • Interaction between human osteoblast and TiN films was conducted in vitro. TiN films were produced by cathodic arc plasma deposition. The surface was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). TiN films, glass substrates and Ti films were cultured with human osteoblasts for 48 and 72 h hours. Actin stress fiber patterns and microtubules of osteoblasts were found slightly more organized and distributed on TiN films compared to those on the Ti films and the glass substrates. Human osteoblasts also showed slightly higher cell attachment, proliferation, and focal contact adhesion on TiN films compared to those on Ti films and glass substrates. Our results demonstrated that TiN films showed slightly better cellular adhesion of osteoblasts than Ti films and glass substrates in a short-time culture period.

  • Kung fu films stand out among many types of films and are sought after by a large number of loyal audiences. In order to explore the mystery, we use the theory of uses and gratifications theory to study kung fu films in order to explore the audience's viewing needs of kung fu films In the existing research, most scholars adopt qualitative research and Chinese culture contained in kung fu movies. Few people use quantitative research, and this area of research is almost blank. Therefore, we conducted a quantitative research on kung fu films based on the methodology of uses and gratifications. The questions revolve around: Can kung fu movies meet audiences' needs? What is the purpose of watching a kung fu movie? After analysis with SPSS, interesting results emerged. In the regression analysis, we found that the psychological need for compensation has a positive impact on Viewing satisfaction, while the social need has a significant negative impact on viewing intention. At the end of the article, we also put forward my own solutions. We also hope to provide better suggestions for the development of Chinese kung fu films through my research, so as to make kung fu films more perfect.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 해방기(1945~1950)의 한국 영화에 대한 분석을 통하여 도시의 주거풍경을 고찰하는 것이다. 이는 문화적 산물인 영화가 당대의 인간 행위, 주거문화, 도시풍경 등을 반드시 투영한다는 점을 전제로 진행되었다. 고찰을 위해 1946년부터 1949년까지에 해당하는 7편의 작품들이 선정되었으며, 각 영화의 장면들과 등장인물의 대사, 관련 신문기사나 평론, 시나리오 등이 종합적으로 분석되었다. 영화 속에서 도시주거풍경은 크게 2가지로 나타났다. 첫째, 사회문화적 혼란 속에서도 아파트나 문화주택 등 서구적 주거공간들이 조명되었는데, 이는 일반 대중의 동경과 호기심을 반영한 결과였다. 둘째, 서울 도심의 구석구석이 의도적으로 비추어졌는데, 이는 해방 직후의 혼란 속에서 서서히 안정을 찾아가고 있는 장안의 모습이 그대로 담긴 것이며 서울의 풍경 자체가 관객들에게 전시물이었다.

  • Bombyx mori silk fibroin(SF)과 블렌드 필름을 만들기 위하여 키토산에 1,3-propanesultone을 반응시켜 수용성 sulfobetaine chitosan(SCs)을 제조하였다. 여러 가지 비율의 SF/SCs 블렌드 필름을 B. mori SF와 SCs의 수용액을 혼합하여 제조하였다. 수용액으로부터 얻어진 SF/SCs 블렌드 필름의 구조와 형태 변화는 분광학적 및 열적 분석을 통해 규명하였다. SF와 SCs의 혼합 비율에 따른 인공 피부나 화상치료 목적의 비이오재료로서의 물리적 및 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. X-선 분석으로 두 생체고분자 사이에 좋은 친화성을 보여주고 있음을 알 수 있었으며 기계적 성질도 SCs의 함량이 증가하면 크게 증가하였다. $37^{\circ}C$에서 phosphate buffered saline solution 용액 중에서 in vitro 분해 실험을 8주 동안 시행한 결과 46.4%가 분해됨을 알 수 있었다. MC3T3-E1 세포에 의한 독성 실험 결과 무독성을 나타내 주었으며, 3일의 배양 후 SF/SCs 필름의 상대 세포 수는 최적화된 tissue culture plastic보다 약간 낮게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.
