본고는 1980년대 문고본 로맨스 소설의 독자 상정과 출판 전략을 '하이틴'이라는 기호로 살펴보려 한다. 저널리즘에서 사용되었던 '하이틴'이라는 기호에 어떤 함의가 포함되어 있는지, 1980년대 문고본 로맨스 시리즈의 출판 현상을 통해 확인하는 것이 이 글의 목적이다. 문고본 로맨스 중에서도 캐나다 출판사 '할리퀸(Harlequin)'의 로맨스 시리즈의 해적판/정식판본과, 같은 독자를 상정하고 출간되었던 잡지 매체의 광고 홍보 문구를 토대로 연구를 진행하였다. 1970년대부터 대중매체는 10대 청소년을 하이틴으로 바라보고 이들을 중요한 소비주체로 호명한 바 있다. 하이틴이 교복을 입은 10대 청소년, 그중에서도 주로 여학생을 일컫는 용어였다면 1980년대 '하이틴' 역시 새로운 소비주체로 상정되었고, 출판 시장에서는 이들을 포섭하기 위한 여러 출판 전략을 내세웠다. 『하이틴 로맨스』를 비롯한 문고본 로맨스는, '하이틴'이라는 독자들을 10대 후반 여학생, 베스트셀러/밀리언 셀러에 민감한 소비주체, 사랑과 연애 이야기를 독서하는 취향을 가지며, 미·서구 문화에 호의적인 독자로 상정하였다. 1980년대 이후 문고본 로맨스 시장은 침체되었지만, 독자들은 '할리퀸' 시리즈를 수용-로컬화하여 '로맨스'라는 장르소설의 명맥을 계속해서 유지해왔다. 웹소설이라는 새로운 매체가 부상함에 따라 로맨스 장르에 대한 관심이 폭증하는 현재, 이 연구가 (여성)독자와 로맨스 독서/향유에 대한 다양한 논의를 이끌어내는 시작점이 될 것이라 기대한다.

This research is focused on defining interaction within the context of digital media and creating a multi cultural definition of interactivity. The concept of multi digital culture and a definition of interaction in digital media have often been overlooked by other researchers and this has caused the emergence of many different notions on this issue. As a result of these varied notions of the concept, public confusion has arisen regarding interactivity. The main purpose of this research is to find a suitable multi definition of interaction through examining local digital culture. In order to analogise multi digital culture, the video game culture is employed as a metaphor to interpret local digital culture. The reason for this is that a specific national culture can be easily identified within the video game culture. Four countries, South Korea, Japan, the U.S. and the UK have been chosen for comparison purposes. Case study, questionnaire and publicly accessible video game related data, such as, video game charts, are used for formalising and analysing unique local digital culture. The Heyri POP UP IMAGE Festival, S. Korea, was also used as a pilot study, with some of the above research methods being employed to analyse South Korean digital culture. In relation to western cases, interview and questionnaire were primarily used. The data from the case countries was carefully compared and analysed and then it became the basis of a theory of multi definition of interaction in digital media. The case study employed the cultural metaphor for this research and in addition video game culture related questionnaires and interviews with experts of interactive art genre, regarding new notions of digital interaction were utilised. The survey was conducted simultaneously in the four different cultural case nations of this research. Twenty respondents from each case nation participated in the survey, in order to investigate firstly, the existence of 'local digital culture' and secondly, the trends and phenomena of 'digital culture' in these four different 'local digital cultural areas'. In terms of interviews with experts of the interactive art genre, these were focused on obtaining their understanding of contemporary digital culture in their research. Using gathered data from the observation of local digital culture, the basic theory of interaction and the terminology of interaction are reformed. Localised definitions of interaction on digital media, control based interaction and communication based interaction are presented, in order to identify a 'locality' in terms of various contemporary digital cultures. As a result of analysing digital culture, new definitions of 'multi definition of digital interaction' were formulated. As mentioned above, 'control' and 'communication' based interaction were initiated, based on 'user to media' relationships. Based on the degree of physical interaction, 'liminal' and 'transitive' interactions were initiated. Less physical digital interaction is named 'liminal' interaction and more physical digital interaction is named' transitive' interaction. These new definitions of interaction were applied to the real world examples of uses of digital interaction, such as, digital interactive installation artworks and video games. The newly defined meaning of digital interaction can be applied to analysing digital interactive installation artworks and possibly indicate their future development and the prospects of future electronic games. Three leading digital interactive artists were selected for this analysis and their works were studied in terms of the implementation of 'multi definition of digital interaction'. Throughout these processes, the meaning of 'communication' in digital interactive media was emphasised. Many of the selected artists' digital installations were focused on 'communication' or 'interaction between each user through digital media', rather than the concept of 'control' in digital interaction, otherwise termed, 'communication with digital media'. In their artworks, interaction between each audience was digitally engaged within the physical interactive environment which was created by the digital media. Both the audience's action and all the reaction throughout the interaction between the audiences, triggered the digital media' s reaction. This audience-audience-media interaction is the key to understanding the concept of 'communication' in physical digital media and it is the main interactive concept upon which the selected digital interactive installation artists for this research and many other artists from similar fields, are concentrating their efforts. In the case of the video game, a similar trend was noticed to that of digital interactive installations. Based on this research's 'multi definition of digital interaction', the video game has evolved from the early stage of being conventional game, which was focused on control based interaction, to the on-line game which was focused on communication based interaction, to physical interactive games, such as, Nintendo Wii, which are focused on more physical interaction and finally, the ubiquitous interactive game, which is mainly concentrated on the concept of 'communication' in physical digital interaction. It is possible that this evolution of the video game concept of interaction is comparable to the progress of digital interactive artworks. This view is based on the fact that both genres show evidence that they are developing in the direction of the concept of 'communication', in terms of physical digital interaction. The important emphasis of this research's results is 'locality' and 'communication' in physical digital interaction. The existence of different digital culture trends, which were assessed by the 'multi definition of digital interaction', can explain the concept of 'locality' in digital interaction. This meaning of 'locality' may assist in understanding contemporary digital culture and can reduce possible misunderstanding as regards 'local' digital culture. In the application of the concept of digital interaction to the field of either artworks or video games, it is possible to form the opinion that an innovative concept of physical digital interaction is 'communication' within this context. This concept and its applications can improve the potential of both digital interactive culture and technology.

미디어 플랫폼이 증가하고 콘텐츠 시장의 경쟁이 치열해지면서 성공한 콘텐츠를 다른 미디어 장르로 재매개하는 크로스미디어 스토리텔링이 주목을 받고 있다. 특히 웹툰이 원천 콘텐츠(source genre)로 급부상하고 있는 가운데 본 연구는 웹툰 <미생>이 TV드라마로 재매개 되는 과정에서 어떤 방식으로 서사가 확장되고 개조되었는지 분석하고, 이러한 변형을 불러온 미디어의 특성과 수용자와의 관련성을 논의하였다. 분석결과 상대적으로 특정 대상층을 목표로 하는 웹툰 <미생>이 바둑의 기보를 바탕으로 종합상사 비정규직 계약사원을 중심으로 직장인의 삶과 애환을 담담하게 그려냈다면, 보다 폭넓은 시청자를 확보해야 하는 TV드라마에서는 사회적 이슈가 되고 있는 '비정규직의 애환', '직장내 성차별과 성희롱', '워킹맘의 애환' '신입 동기들간의 로맨스' 등 대중적 서사를 강화한 '확장' 전략을 사용하였다. 또 극적 재미를 위해 명확히 선악이 구분되는 인물 구도를 통한 갈등의 고조, 휴머니즘과 희극성의 강화를 드라마의 스토리텔링 전략으로 사용하였다.

Animation constitutes the core of the media industry, which in turn lies at the center of the cultural industry. It is considered one of the industries where South Korea has the competitive edge over other countries. With the pool of customers getting wider, the genre of animation has become more and more diverse, forming a great market for it. Aware of this trend, this study focused on animation as a part of the pop culture, and on providing corresponding various viewpoints for future cultural studies. This researcher measured the practicality and persuasiveness of this study through Shreck, a three-dimensional C.G. animation which is acclaimed for its success in dismantling the old grammar of animation movies that represent the anti-Disney ideas. This researcher felt it imperative to heed the unique language of Shreck, which contains discourses on various cultural ideologies such as paradoxical structure that pits entertainment that is shown through dismantling of the canon, feminism and antifeminism against each other. This study analyzed the entertaining element of the animation genre by means of the Semiotics of Keith Moxey, thereby attempting to establish a legitimate social status of the genre, whose artfulness has been depreciated in the art society. In chapter II, this researcher examines the chronological development of three-dimensional C.G. animation that has shown a rapid advancement. Chapter III defines the cultural ideology of Shreck by exploring basic theories and texts employed in analysis of art works. This study started with the assumption that defines, from the viewpoint of symbology, the animation text as an aggregate of discourses on entertainment, and competitive and paradoxical ideologies. Then, this researcher analyzed the text and the generation process of meanings in Shreck. Consequently, this study has come to the following conclusions: First, Shreck induces changes of concepts about the canon by means of distorting and reversing the existing animation movies, which seems to reflect in the contemporary tendency of seeking new interpretations of entertainment. Second, Shreck shows up the cognitive changes of our age as to feminism by competing feminism against antifeminism. Although Shreck serves as a venue of competition between the two opposing ideas, it stops short of brushing off women as outsiders in society. Rather, it represents the resistance to the male chauvinism existing in the structures of animation and culture. As shown in the text analysis, Shreck presents an advent of a new ideology critical of the previous animation films. In addition, it reflects in the struggle between the pro-feminism on the part of the viewers and the anti-feminism that lies in the social and culture structure. This study, however, is limited in its scope and selection of subject. First, although this researcher has stressed the importance of understanding the animation as part of the pop culture and conducting researches within the historic paradigm, this study fails to provide an in-depth insight in the impacts that the changes in the C.G. industry and the systematic conditions may have on the three-dimensional C.G. animation genre. Furthermore, this study runs the risk of being understood as pro-American due to its selection of Shreck as its research subject.

This study suggests the popular culture theory as a basic framework to find out the characteristics of contemporary fashion show meeting the popular culture, and describes that the show is the popular culture of this generation. The culture is the way of our life unifying the world at common area of human being. The popular culture is to subdivide it into the public culture that shares aesthetic taste, and to borrow each other and develop it mutually because of the collapse of dichotomous boundary with high quality culture, and to represent the people’s thought and behaviour expanding their areas. The author has examined the characteristics of popular culture of modern fashion show by four collections, that is, commercialism, mass media, political relationship and interaction, etc： Firstly, at the commercialism, the fashion show combines it with other genre organically to do mass production and sales and produces cultural consumption goods supplying a lot of sight-seeing. Secondly, at the mass media, the image of contemporary fashion show has been spread out with mass media such as fashion magazines, cable TV and Internet beyond time and space to produce advertisement effects and makes new fashion and bring democratic culture. Thirdly, at political relationship, the fashion in its peak can make a big stream of wealth, so that it plays important roles under governmental regulations in this era and governments make efforts to support and develop it. Lastly, at interaction, the fashion show shares media functions to let users participate in the program and to exchange information as a feedback to influence each other.

The purpose of this study is to examine the works of choreographer Philippe $Decoufl{\acute{e}}$ and the performance costumes designer Philippe Guillotel, and identify the intrinsic values shown in the formative characteristics in their works. And it proposes a vision and a direction for the development and performance of modern fashion phenomenon of media convergence performing arts complex. The results were as follows. First, the performance characteristics shown in Philippe $Decoufl{\acute{e}}$'s art pattern applies dynamic improvisation, decategorization reflected in the media interactivity, time and space of a variable scalability, complex artistic genres and transcends cultural boundaries. Second, the characteristics of the performance costume can be described as a co-existence between dynamics of aesthetic layers, 'Media body' represented by the interaction of the compounds with the technology, and integrated variable expandability. And aesthetic values inherent in the performance costumes are summarized as abstraction, playfulness, reproducibility, and theatricality. Modern fashion performance and limited production of the center 'costumes' in the fashion images can be used in diverse ways, and innovative marketing has gone through a change in image production. Metaphysical text of the advanced performance genre can be presented in a new perspective to fashion derivatives 'Media body'. And the aesthetics of popular culture kitsch, the grotesque, and surrealism in theater will produce creative stage direction.

중국의 미디어 영역에서는 정치적 경제적 제도적 변화에 따라 생성적 변화의 흐름이 존재해왔다. 드라마 생산 영역에서 시장체제가 도입된 이후에는 정부 대리인이자 시장 관리의 역할을 하는 '제편인(制片人)'이라는 사람들이 자생적으로 출현하게 되었으며 국가는 곧 이 '제편인'에게 합법적 자격과 권한을 부여함으로써 제도화하여 제도권 내로 흡수시켰다. 이 과정에서 '드라마 제편인 제도'는 사회주의 시장경제라는 특수한 환경 하에서 정부의 직접관리에서 간접관리, 그리고 자아검열로의 변화 과정을 잘 드러내는 중국식 관리 모델을 보여준다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 인터넷이 보급되면서 풀뿌리 미디어를 비롯한 다양한 미디어가 출현하였고, 네티즌들의 참여와 생산 활동으로 문학 영역에 인터넷 문학이라는 새로운 장르가 출현하기도 했다. 그리고 동영상과 풀뿌리 미디어의 플랫폼으로 역할했던 일부 사이트가 자체적으로 콘텐츠 생산을 하게 되면서 미디어로서 기능하게 되었다. 본래 인터넷을 IT 산업의 일부로 양성하였지만 인터넷이 미디어로서 기능하며 새로운 미디어 지형을 형성하게 되자 점차적으로 이에 대한 규제와 제도를 갖추어나가기 시작했으며, 이후 전면적인 인터넷 미디어 콘텐츠 관리 및 규제의 방향으로 나아가기 시작했다. 미디어 영역에서 생성적 변화의 흐름이 출현하고 이것이 관방의 미디어 정책에 수렴되는 생성-수렴의 양상이 반복되어 나타나고 있다.

This thesis examines contemporary Chinese painting after the Cultural Revolution(1966~76), focusing upon so-called "Chinese Pop art", which I termed as "Socialist Pop art". I considered the art of this period within the broader context of social changes especially after the Tienanmen incident of 1989. After the Cultural Revolution during which idolization of Chairman Mao was at its peak, one of the major changes in communist China was that an anti-Mao wave was generated in almost every social class. For example, novels that revealed the hardships during the Cultural Revolution were published. Posters that openly criticized the Maoism were also produced and displayed on the walls, and demand for democracy spurred widespread activist movements among young generations. These broad social changes were also reflected in art. A variety of art movements were introduced from the West to China, and after a period of experimentation with the new imported styles, artists began to apply the new artistic idiom to their works in order to visualize their own social and political realities they lived in. It was a shift from earlier Socialist Realism to a new expression either directly or indirectly, "Socialist Pop", an amalgam of Socialist Realism and Pop art tradition. After the 1989 crackdown of Tienanmen Square protest, when communist government quelled with brutal measures the students, workers, and ordinary people who rose for democracy, greater urge to protest the Deng Xiaoping regime emerged. This time coincided with the gradual emergence of art using Pop art vocabulary to satirize the social reality, the Socialist Pop art, along with many other art forms all with avant-garde spirit. One of the most frequent subjects of Chinese Pop art was visual images of Chairman Mao and his Cultural Revolution, and new China that was saturated with capitalism, which tainted the Chinese way of life with a Western way of consumerism and commercialism. The reason for the popularity of Mao's image was spurred by the "Mao Craze" in the early 1990's. People suddenly began to fall in a kind of nostalgia for the past, and once again, Mao Zedong was idolized as an entity who can heal the problems of modern China who had been marching towards their ultimate destination, the economic development. But this time Chairman Mao was no more an idol but just a popular, commercial product. He is no more an object of worship of almost religious nature but he has become an iconography symbolizing the complex nature of present Chinese society. During this process of depicting the social reality, Chinese artists are making the authority and sanctity of Maoism ineffective. Dealing with this new trend of contemporary Chinese art in view of "Socialist Pop art" two manners of re-creating Pop art can be illustrated: one that incorporates the propaganda posters of the Cultural Revolution; the other borrows from Chinese traditional popular imagery or mass media, such as photos taken during Mao era. What is worth mentioning is that these posters and photos of the Cultural Revolution can be identified as 'popular' media, as they were directed to educate the popular mass, thus combination of this ingenuous pop media with Western Pop art can be fully justified as a genre unique to China. Through this genre, we can discover a new chapter of the Chinese contemporary painting and its society, as their Pop art can be considered as self-portraits true to their present appearances.

최근 스토리텔링 기술은 서사 중심에서 캐릭터 중심으로 변모하고 있다. 캐릭터 중심 스토리텔링이란 캐릭터가 하나의 스토리에 국한되지 않고 탄생의 기반이 되었던 원작 세계관을 뛰어 넘어 새로운 환경에서 새로운 인물을 만나 새로운 사건을 경험하며 또 다른 이야기로 확장되는 현상을 총칭한다. 심지어 캐릭터 중심 스토리텔링은 탈서사적, 탈장르적으로 확장되고 있다. 캐릭터를 고정점으로 하여 다양한 미디어로 전개되고 스토리 세계를 넓혀가는 양상을 보이고 있는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 현상의 원인을 미디어 발달사와 서사 진화론의 관점에서 규명하고 그것이 의미하는 바를 구체적인 사례를 통해 탐구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 캐릭터를 중심으로 확장되고 있는 스토리텔링 기술은 미디어 발달사와 서사 진화론에서 그 등장 배경을 고찰할 수 있다. 미디어 발달사의 측면에서 고려되는 네 가지 요인은 첫째 포스트모더니즘의 출현으로 인한 큰 이야기의 소멸과 작은 이야기의 등장, 둘째 팬덤 문화의 출현과 캐릭터의 자율화, 셋째 데이터베이스 시대에서 비롯된 캐릭터의 공공재화성, 넷째 창작 주체의 변화이다. 반면 서사 진화론의 관점에서 캐릭터 스토리텔링은 최근 등장한 트랜스미디어 스토리텔링 담론과 조우하면서 큰 변화를 맞이하게 된다. 캐릭터 스토리텔링은 전통적인 서사 이론에서 역할론과 성격론으로 나뉘어 연구되었다. 대립각을 세우며 연구되었던 캐릭터 스토리텔링은 디지털 패러다임의 도래로 캐릭터의 자율화와 공공재화성을 확보하게 되고 플롯과 동등한 지위를 가지게 되면서 새로운 도약을 시작했다. 특히 이 현상은 캐릭터가 여러 플랫폼에 걸쳐 나타나는 트랜스미디어 스토리텔링이 활발하게 이루어지면서 가속화되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 캐릭터 중심 트랜스미디어 스토리텔링의 두 가지 모델로 성격 전이형과 역할 전이형을 제시하고 그 구체적인 사례를 통해 특징과 구조를 도출해 보았다. 이와 같은 연구는 새로운 형태의 스토리텔링 모델을 규명하고 그 유형별 체계를 확인할 수 있다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

한류의 부상은 한국 미디어 엔터테인먼트 산업의 경이적인 성공에 대한 수많은 역사적/문화적 학술 연구가 쏟아져 나오는 결과를 가져왔다. 그 중 대부분이 텔레비전 드라마 또는 대중음악에 대한 내용으로, 단편 영화에 가까운 매체로서 복합장르적 특성을 지닌 뮤직 비디오는 인기 한류 컨텐츠의 원형이자 선구적 형태라 할 요소가 다분함에도 불구하고 큰 주목을 받지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 사회적/정치적/경제적인 급변기였던 1990년대 초-중기, 한국 엔터테인먼트 미디어 산업은 이전에 비해 다양해진 젊은 세대의 관심 분야와 라이프스타일, 그리고 유동적인 생활 패턴을 반영해 정적인 시청 문화에 얽매이지 않는 새로운 컨텐츠를 필요로 했다. 한편, 케이블 텔레비전과 고속 인터넷 서비스가 보편화되면서 소비자들의 시간적 여유가 늘어나고 기반 설비에 대한 접근성 또한 높아지는 추세였다. 이와 같은 소비 인구의 규모, 범위, 연결성, 유동성 등의 변화에 대응하기 위해 등장한 것이 당시의 인기 장르였던 트렌디 드라마와 발라드 음악의 장점을 융합한 복합장르-매체인 블록버스터 뮤직 비디오였다. 본 논문은 90년대 당시의 사회적 유동성이 새로운 형태의 컨텐츠 창출과 한국 미디어 문화의 개념, 형태, 그리고 소비 양식에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지 고찰하고 블록버스터 뮤직 비디오를 한류 매체/장르의 원형으로 규정함으로써 문화연구적 관점에서 한류 연구의 다양화에 기여하고자 한다.
