The purpose of this study is to compare the purchase intention on naturally dyed clothing between Korea and the US. As independent variables that affect the purchase intention, benefits that consumers seek when purchasing naturally dyed clothing, especially for fabric materials, and attitudes towards naturally dyed clothing were selected. A quantitative research method with a survey was employed. 160 data from Korea and 180 data from the US were used for the analysis. The convenience sampling method (i.e., college female students) was used. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test and regression analysis were employed to test the differences in purchase intention, fabric benefit sought, and the attitudes. The fabric benefit sought selected for this study includes eco-friendliness, uniqueness, aesthetic, comfort and quality. The attitude toward naturally dyed clothing was categorized as an emotional and a cognitive attitude. The results show the significant differences in the fabric benefit sought depending on nationality, major and experiences in natural dyeing. Significant differences were found in of the attitude toward naturally dyed clothing among the nationalities and the experience types in natural dyeing. In addition, there were significant differences in purchase intention toward naturally dyed clothing between Korean and the US participants, and countries show different fabric benefits and attitudes which influenced participants' purchase intention. The results of this study suggest an appropriate fabric planning for environment-friendly fashion products for both countries.

Upholstery style is the form which bulges a shape by putting fillings in the support and covering them with patterned textile or pile fabric. Modern upholstery style was combined with the various socio-cultural products and artistic styles and expressed in interior furniture and costumes of historical time periods. The style first originated when people built houses for settlement and made furniture to decorate its interior. The characteristics of upholstery style came to be prominent in the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo times with the development of science and textile industry. The interior furniture represented the ages of the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo and were made with similar images of the architectural style from those different time periods. Textiles, tapestry, velvet, corduroy, damask, brocade, and the most frequently used velvet are elements that make up the structural and figurative features of the architectural style. The upholstery style of furniture also shows the forms of clothing that represents each of the different periods. This style still continues to be used today. In modern day fashion, the figurative characteristics of the upholstery style that derives from interior furniture and clothing from the different time periods are bulkiness, asymmetry and exoticism. Such figurative characteristics have evolved through the combination of diverse genres but it still maintains similar designs and forms.

The North Pacific Arctic region has common factors such as climatic characteristics and similarity of animals inhabiting the region. But also there exists geographical barriers that separates the tribes, different languages between the tribes. Although there are such differences, the clothing and ornaments of the region have relatively similar design and style. And above all possess the ‘spirit’. The tribes find the motives of such ‘spirit’ in human, animal, and soul\`s adaptability to change and in grafting such changes of forms into clothing. Especially as means of pleasing the animal that they vitally rely on, the tribes made the clothing as beautiful as the nature itself and they tried to connect the humans and animals universally through such clothing that have social, artistic, and enchantic conditions. The supply of raw materials of animals has elevated the creativeness one step up and the precise knowledge about fur show their superior techniques in making fur clothing. The use of gutskin has is an excellent example of such knowledge, which is very unique of the region. The gutskin has moderate plasticity and thus can be cut into all sorts of pattern. It harmonizes the functionality and practicality. The worldwide fashion trend is dominated by Western style, but the clothing of this region is still keeping its distinctive folk identity. At the start of the research, Kayak and itelmen tribes of Asia, the tribes of Amur river and Aleut and Tlingit tribes of North America seems to be geographically too far from each other and therefore searching theoretical background for common cultural origins seems to be immoderate. But lighting the fact that geographical adjacency that can be perceived through costume cultural history, is the most important factor that gives mutual influences to costume culture between the neighboring tribes, cultural relative similarity of the costume is influenced by geographical location rather than physical distance between the tribes. Also humans\` adaptability to their environment is seriously contaminated with man-made products. This study on North Pacific Arctic region is telling us many things about our past, present and future.

'문화 저널리즘'은 광의의 저널리즘의 한 분파이자 확립된 유형으로 존재해왔지만, 학술영역에서 문화 저널리즘의 특징과 현황을 분석하는 작업은 매우 희소하다. 이 연구는 제도언론 영역에서 추구되는 문화 저널리즘의 위상과 현황 그리고 실천이 과거와 비교해서 어떻게 달라졌는지를 파악하기 위해서 주요 일간지 문화면에 관한 내용분석을 실시했으며, 관련 학술자료와 기사들을 통한 질적인 해석을 함께 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 10년 전(2003~2004년)과 비교하여 현재(2013~2014년)의 신문 지면은 늘어난 데 반해, 문화 관련 기사의 전체 게재량은 감소했으며, 문화면 이외의 종합면 등 타 지면에 게재된 기사의 비율 또한 줄어들었다. 한편, 문화 콘텐츠에 중심을 두고 보도된 기사와 '지식 교양' 또는 '여가 오락'으로서 문화에 접근하는 관점의 기사들은 줄어든 반면, 문화현상을 '상품(광고)'과 '생활'로서 접근하는 기사들이 늘어났다. 이와 함께 '비평 리뷰 해설'을 담아내는 기사가 통계적으로 유의미하게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 문화 저널리즘의 중요한 기반으로 간주할 수 있는 '학술'과 '공연 전시 미술 음악' 같은 주제를 다루는 기사들은 줄어들었으며, 대중문화와 여행, 패션, 미용 등의 광의의 라이프스타일을 다루는 연성적인 주제들이 상당히 증가한 것으로 드러났다. 그리고 독자와 관객을 포함하는 수용자들의 기고가 일부 늘어났다는 점 외에 기고자의 선정이나 직업적인 특성에서 유의미한 수준의 변화는 관찰되지 않았으며, 독자를 직접 인용원으로 삼는 기사가 부분적으로 증가했다는 점 외에 직접 인용 취재원의 활용에서도 별다른 변화는 없었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 볼 때, 문화콘텐츠의 역할이 크게 주목받는 사회문화적인 상황과는 달리 종합일간지 지면에서 이루어지는 문화 관련 보도와 기사의 생산은 양식적인 다양성과 구성적인 차별화 그리고 광의의 비평적인 관점의 제시라는 측면에서 상당한 한계를 드러내는 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This research aims to examine gender preferences for men and women advertising models in Saudi advertisements. Saudi Arabia is known as one of the most gender-segregated society in the world, and it has gender-specific roles, characteristics, and behaviors that are undesirable for the other gender. Methodology: The questionnaire was developed with the help of earlier studies on perceptions towards advertising models and validated by a jury of experts and focus groups. The gender preferences for ten product categories (including automobiles, baby care products, cigarettes, cosmetics for women, fashion, food & beverages, motorcycles, personal care for men, personal care for women, sporting goods) were examined for men and women models. Similarly, three personal preferences characteristics for both genders (face beauty, voice quality, and Islamic dress), two characteristics for women models (body shape, femininity), and two characteristics for men models (height-weight balance, masculinity) were examined for men and women models separately. Finally, a survey was conducted to solicit responses from respondents (N=412). Findings: Results indicated significant gender preferences for gender-specific product categories and typical gender stereotypes in advertising models. Men models were preferred in men-specific products, and women models were required in women-specific products. Some product categories (including personal care for men and sporting goods) were ranked higher for men advertising models, while for women advertising models, other product categories (including personal care for women and cosmetics for women) were ranked higher. Masculinity was ranked highest as the preferred personal characteristic for men advertising models, while voice quality was highest for women advertising models. Finally, there is a significant difference between the preferred personal characteristic for men and women advertising models for three characteristics, including face beauty, Islamic dress, and masculinity and femininity. Implications: Saudi Arabia is a unique society with predominantly unique cultural dominance. Consequently, local culture greatly influences advertisements. It has stereotyped gender roles even in advertisements. This study will establish a baseline for further research on the subject area.

Different method of textile fabrication had existed since the ancient times, but the most dominant form was the 'weaving' method which embodies the cross fabrication of vertical and horizontal threads using special weaving machines (looms). In addition, fabrication methods like knitting, felt, and lace were commonly practiced while intertwinement methods like twisting, braiding, and knotting techniques were frequently used for weaving strings and braid type textiles. In the past, people did not pay attention to strings and braids because they were classified as non-textiles, but, in this paper, we have expanded the scope of definition of textile to include strings and braids, and seek to conduct in-depth research on various different intertwinement of textiles. The adaptation of intertwinement method in arts and crafts enables limitless creative works reflecting the ever-changing taste and style of the creator. This creativity is further broadened by the fact that intertwinement methods encompass no set patterns and the subject and shape of its creation is as broad as its artistic pursuits. We can infer the knowledge of our ancestors, their aesthetic taste, and the pattern of life from these creations. In addition, these creations can provide comfort and improve the quality of life of modem people who are deeply deprived of sentimental and emotional solitude in the technological civilization of the 21stcentury. The main purpose of this paper is to examine traditional Korean arts and crafts made using the intertwinement methodology through the context of strings, braids, straw crafts and knotting method. Then it will conduct through research on the different materials, forms, characteristics, usage and other key notions based on the currently preserved records and relics to contribute to the research on traditional textiles and provide the foundations to the development of the Korean culture and cultural products, reflecting the true sole and aesthetics of traditional Korean textile crafts.

본 연구에서는 문화적인 요소가 응집되어 있는 북촌지역을 사례지역으로 지역의 문화가 경제적인 공간구조에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자한다. 북촌은 조선왕조의 고궁과 많은 역사적인 문화재, 전통한옥들이 남아 있고, 현대적 미술관과 박물관들이 들어서 있어 전통문화와 현대문화예술이 공존하는 곳이다. 최근 이 지역에는 문화와 직 간접적으로 연관된 경제활동들이 들어서면서 경관이 크게 변화하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 북촌 지역에 입점하고 있는 문화와 관련된 창의적 수제품을 생산하여 판매하는 소매점들이 이곳에 입지하는 이유가 이지역의 장소성과 어떻게 연관되어 있으며, 그 입지적 특징은 무엇인가를 밝혀보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 문서화된 통계자료의 활용과 함께 이곳 소매점 업주들을 상대로 한 심층면담조사를 실시하여 통계자료에 나타나지 않는 구체적인 자료를 확보하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 이곳에 입점하고 있는 창의적 소매점들이 이곳에 입점한 주 이유는 전통과 현대의 풍부한 문화적 자산을 보유하고 있는 북촌 지역의 장소성임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그들이 북촌에 소매점을 개점한 가장 큰 이유는 북촌에 내재되어 있는 문화요소와 그에 따른 경제적 가치 때문이다. 이곳에 소매점을 내고 있는 업주들은 전반적으로 고학력이며, 많은 경우 외국에서 디자인을 공부하고 돌아와 이곳에 본인의 창의적 문화상품을 제작하는 작업장을 겸하여 점포를 내고 있다. 그들이 북촌에 입점한 이유는 북촌의 장소성을 그들이 제작하는 제품의 가치 창출에 영향을 주는 문화자본으로 인식하기 때문이다. 그들은 작가주의에 입각하여 자신이 직접 디자인하여 손수 제작한 작품을 소량 생산하여 판매하는 유연적인 전문적 생산의 전형을 이룬다. 이곳에 입지하고 있는 점포에서 판매되는 대부분의 제품은 기획 생산 유통 과정이 장소와 밀접히 통합되고 있다. 이들은 초기에는 주요 통행로인 삼청동길을 따라 입점하고 확산되었으나 최근에는 통행량이 적은 이면도로인 화개길을 따라 확산되고 있다. 이러한 현상은 현재도 계속 진행 중이며, 북촌이 지니고 있던 기존의 장소성에 작가주의에 입각한 문화상품을 생산 공급하는 개성있는 상점들이 입지하여 문화와 경제가 접목된 독특한 문화경제경관을 형성해 가고 있다.

This work is to develop a T-shirt by adopting a unique cloud pattern (a good auspicious sign as design material) from traditional native Korean patterns for application to various cultural products and textile design cloth patterns; subsequently, a T-shirt design was processed based on this. As a research method, computer design programs Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3 were used along with a literature examination as part of motive for design development and pattern realization. Three basic motives were selected as a new formative image in this work, utilizing graphical elements such as abridgement and simplicity of pattern, where flower-shaped cloud pattern, uprising cloud pattern, and 卍-shaped or swastika-shaped pattern of traditional cloud patterns were selected. Each motive diverged into two motives via the shape transformation and the application of different colors. The newly developed basic motive was further processed into a combination of one-time repeat pattern, stripe pattern, and application pattern with mixed cloud motives (that were previously developed), which altogether turned out to be 36 pieces of textile design. In addition, with newly developed motive designs and textile designs, a total of 12 shirt designs for 4 pieces were developed for these three each. The shirt design was developed into a shirt blouse, sleeveless T-shirt, half-sleeve T-shirt, and sports T-shirt among others in order to fit various uses and purposes.

The purpose of this study is to find out the changes for the first birthday's costume in westernizing Korea society of the twentieth century. For this study, I analysed the related literature for the first half the twentieth century due to the lack of relevant photographs, while I used the method of content analysis of 136 photographs for the second half of the twentieth century. According to the analysis of photographs, first birthday's costume for girls dressed up was more different than those for boys. But first birthday's costume items for boys were more than those for girls. Generally first birthday's costume consists of Bokkon Jeonbok Jeogori(Sackdong) and Baji for boy's, Chima and SackdongJeogori for girl's. Because the meanings and look of Hogun, Durumagi, Sagusam, Busun and Baeza are good, those items might be to used for first birthday's costume in the future. To establish better first birthday's culture and costume in Korea, it is important to educate people involved in related business for traditional costume. Because most of first birthday's costume are usually borrowed for photographs. Also item and design for the first birthday's costume should be studied in order to improve traditional cultural products.
