  • Modernity is commonly defined as a reflection of the features of modern society based on the historical experience of the West. As such, modernity includes involvement with political, economic, and social changes, a changing world-view, and changing trends in equality, gender roles, a desire for "the new," consumption, distribution based on mass production, and rational reform in fashion and dress. First and foremost, however, modernity in costume has been driven by the functional requirements of industrial capitalism. But while modernity has popularly been regarded as some sort of universal standard, in fact the West and the other societies have vastly different, unique, and particular experiences with their own respective histories of modernization. For this reason, cultural changes in the modernization process should be-indeed, must be-analyzed in the context of a country's own unique historical and cultural circumstances, rather than through the prism or strict adaptation of generalized Western concepts of modernization. Moreover, a "periodization" of the modernization of fashion and dress can be established by examining the characteristics of modernity in costume.

  • The purpose of this study is to find aesthetic characteristics of Korean and Japanese women's traditional costumes in Modernization that happened in Korea and Japan during the late 19th century and the 20th century. The meaning of modernity has indefinite and comprehensive aspects, and the essence of modernity is found in searching for new changes. Modernization is the process of realizing modernity, and costume modernization can be discussed from the viewpoint of seeking new changes, functionality and popularization of costume. As Korean and Japanese costumes went through modernization, western costume became daily clothes of both two countries. The modernization of Korean and Japanese women's traditional costumes were achieved in the two directions. First, Korean and Japanese women's traditional costumes changed to search for functionality modeled of western costume. Korean costume went through dress reform movement and were generally simplified. Japanese costume made a change of wearing mode and introduced new garment like 'Hakama'. Second, the new style of traditional costume appeared. In Korea, 'Saenghwal Hanbox' was shown in the late 20c and in Japan, The reproduced dress(更生服)' and The women's standard dress(婦人標準服)' were shown in the late 1930's and the early 1940's. These kinds of new garment style were the more active compromise between the East and the West.

  • One of the characteristics of the last four decades after 'World War II', was the 'discovery of famine' in the underdeveloped country, like Korea. A flurry of activities followed this sad discovery. Countless organizations and programs were set up to fight poverty and to combat famine in rural sector. In these days, the dominant development theory was 'modernization theory' which have gratuitously assumed that third world countries are like western countries are, and respond to the same stimuli as western countries do, although third world countries have completely different cultures, traditions, and mentality from western countries. Among the many problems caused by 'modernization theory', this research focused on the noel environmental problems. In the West the discovery of nature and its progressive control by means of science and technology are phenomena. Modem progress born in the West and carried to the rest of the world is not integrally positive and therefore can't be identified with the internal development of man and nature. As a result, the so-called modernization of Korea and other countries is contributing to the degradation of the nature and environment. It is important to give up the illusion that the fight against famine is a simple matter that could be solved through the imitation of western countries. It is also necessary to abandon the belief that the earth as a reservoir of unlimited resources, there to be exploited ad hoc for mankind's survival. Man-environment relationship must, essentially, be one of mutualism and not a case of survival of the fittest: In other words, man's survival is directly related to the survival of the earth and its resources.

  • A. J. Toynbee published a book called Travel to China(1931) after traveling around the Asian continent in 1929. The book mostly focuses on Japan, China and the relationship between the two countries. Toynbee visited major cities in Japan and China by train. Most of the Japanese cities he saw were turning into modern cities in the process of spontaneous modernization mixed with its tradition. On the other hand, Chinese cities that he visited showed him various characteristics, including traditional, colonial, or semi-colonial cities. The modern cities of Japan and China in the late 1920s were transformed into various aspects under the influence of tradition, spontaneous modernization, colonial or anti-colonial modernization. How did Toynbee look at cities in East Asia? How did he recognize the relationship between tradition, modernization and colonization while visiting this area? Toynbee emphasizes the weight and influence of tradition especially in the development of modern cities in Japan and China. So, are modern European cities born out of their own traditions? Modern cities everywhere in the East and West were newly developed under the influence of tradition. Toynbee's attitude, which emphasizes especially its tradition in the modern cities of East Asia, seems to reflect his Orientalistic view.

  • 서구의 근대화를 통해서 기술적 변화와 예술 사이의 새로운 관계가 형성되기 시작하였다. 그전까지 특정 개인과 소수의 사람들에 의해서 향유되던 과거의 예술이 기술에 의해 대량으로 생산됨으로써 대중적인 수용이 가능해졌다. 한 프레임씩 정지된 프레임들을 카메라로 촬영해서 재현한다는 점에서 애니메이션은 영화적 특성을 보이는데 본 연구에서는 이런 애니메이션의 영화적 운동성에 대해서 논의하면서 애니메이션에서 재현되는 운동성이 아무리 충실하게 만들어진 것일지라도 현실 세계의 운동성은 물론이고 라이브액션 영화에서 재현되는 운동성과도 동일할 수 없다는 점을 알 수 있다. 결국 애니메이션은 영화적 요소들과 애니메이션만의 디테일한 연속성으로 운동성을 창조한다. 이런 운동성으로 애니메이션만의 리얼리티가 살아나고 애니메이션이라는 예술형식의 위력을 점점 발휘시킬 수 있다.

  • '설화'는 크게 '신화', '전설', '민담'의 세 가지 형태로 구분되며, 역사 시대 이전부터 구전으로 전승된 이야기들을 일컫는다. 본 연구는 문화 연구의 관점에서 동북아시아 문화의 원천으로서의 설화를 거시적·담론적으로 연구하기 위해, 설화의 '상징성'에 초점을 맞춰 동서양의 설화를 둘러싼 담론을 비교연구하여 동북아시아 설화연구의 특성을 짚어 보고자 한다. 즉, 근대화를 거치면서 탈신화화되고 탈주술화된 서구 사회와 동북아시아에서 설화가 갖는 상징적 의미를 찾아보려는 것이다. 설화는 오랜 기간을 거쳐 민간에서 구비전승되며 변화한 것은 물론 근대화 과정 속에서 문자화되며 고대의 원형적 모습을 잃고 현대성 속에서 '오염'됐을 수밖에 없다. 그럼에도 근대화가 탈각시킨 자연과 인간의 '유사성'의 원리는 아직까지도 설화에서 찾을 수 있다. 때문에 서구에서는 설화 중에서도 신화를 중심으로 잃어버린 주술적 사유를 복원하려는 연구가 이어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국, 중국, 일본의 동북아시아 국가들이 압축 근대화를 겪으며 상실한 신화적 사유의 상징성을 설화의 비유적 특성과 함께 고찰해보고자 한다.

  • The traditional Korean heating system ondol, one of the most important characteristics of Korean architecture, still remains as hydronic floor heating. Various studies have been conducted on the modernization of ondol, but the process of introducing the hydronic floor heating has not been seriously studied so far. Therefore, this paper aims to demonstrate how the hydronic floor heating had been introduced to Korea, taking the 1950s and 1960s Haengchon, Jongam, and Mapo Apartments for example - these three are regarded as the first Korean apartment houses after the Korean War. While Western advanced construction technology was imported for these apartments, various methods of modernizing ondol were also considered. What was remarkable in these attempts is that hydronic floor heating first appeared in Mapo 1st Apartment in 1962, because this is the universal heating method in the present Korea. This fact signifies that the traditional principle of floor heating has been maintained, and it would also be meaningful in terms of architectural exchanges between East and West, if considered along with Wright's application of the Korean heating principle to his houses since 1930s.

  • Since Korea open her ports to the West, she had undergone a great change under the alien influences both on the macro-social and micro-social aspects. This study aims to review the korean housing, corresponding with the everyday life, during the period of transition between the 1876 - 1910 and to interpret its process of modernization and the meaning of modernity. With regards to understand the holistic human relationship and place pf living through history, this study takes the Nobert Elias' Civilization Theory as a theoretical basis. References were therefore, made to various records of foreign missionary at the time, with respect not only to macro sociological changes but also to changes of everyday life. It is of course to take physical and structural aspects of housing architecture into consideration. These works, thus, led to presuming the housing culture of said period. In order to investigate modern character of korean housing, distinctively represented by spatial structure, considerations were made to various architectural examples according to the social and residential status both in urban and rural area. As a results, this paper came to the remarks as follows; 1. It is understood, that the process of modernization is a part of the process of civilization as synthetic process. It is integrated with the change of socio-cultural aspects and everyday life. 2. Korean housing in the said period shows various different residential status and grade of civilization according to the social status as well as economical status. Modern housing was not in general yet. 3. Housing for high classes and middle classes in Seoul shows a tendency of assimilation and imitation after western model. But some examples within the housing of high classes represent its own modernity, that is based on the rationalism and equalization 4. In the housing of lower classes, it was very far from the benefits of civilization. It could analogize from the immature control of disgrace, from undevelopment of individual territory and from uncultivation of rationality in the housing space.

  • Thơ mới (Vietnamese New Poetry, 1932-1945) is a literary movement in colonial Vietnam that is broadly considered to have marked the modernization of Vietnamese literature. This paper examines depictions about natural disasters, ecological wounds, and about relationships between humans and nature in New Poetry, asking how those descriptions reflect social and political issues in colonial Vietnam. The paper argues that ecocriticism, developed in Western academy, brought to the New Poetry Movement new meanings, associated with a material world. That is the specific reality of colonial Vietnam in the early twentieth century, when the colonial modernization resulted in natural and social collapses in the area. This approach is especially significant, given that New Poetry is largely seen as the embodiment of the expansion of Western romanticism by Vietnamese scholars. Moreover, in examining Thơ mới (Vietnam) from perspective of ecocriticism, this paper extends the ecocritical approach to non-Western literatures. Specifically, although ecocriticism developed in the West, particularly in United States and England, it has become an effective approach to non-Western literatures, particularly since the early twentieth first century. In this context, Asian literatures, particularly Southeast Asian literatures, potentially offer ecocriticism new meanings, many of which are associated with local social and political conditions and histories.

  • 본 논문은 전통교육의 현대화에 부합하는 교육모델의 구성원리 및 민주적 시민성 강화를 위한 핵심역량 및 교육 방안을 적극 모색하였다. 궁극적으로 민주적 시민성 교육과 정치교육 프로그램의 취지에 부합하는 전통적 가치와 교육 내용, 방식 등을 추출하여 재구성하여 교육현장에 적용하고자 한다. 이를 위해 온고지신 교육체계의 구성과 운영 원리 및 주체의 역할, 수업 방식, 기대 효과 등을 체계적으로 검토하면서 전통교육의 현대화를 통해 덕스러운 민주시민성을 함양할 수 있는 교육모델과 수업 모형의 원리를 구성하였다. 보다 구체적으로, 공동체적 덕성과 민주적인 시민성 함양을 위해 지금의 교육현실의 문제점을 지양하고 교육담론과 실천을 발전시키며 동서양의 융합적인 교육활동과 실천적 수업프로그램을 구성함으로써 현대적 선비의 지적 인성적 체화를 함양하려 하였다. 이를 위해 현대적 맥락과 환경 속에서 전통과 현실에 새로운 가치와 의미를 던져줄 수 있는 전통교육의 '어떤 점'을 '어떻게' 현대화시킬 것인지를 검토하였고 학생들이 시민사회에서 민주적 주체성을 가진 선비가 될 수 있는 수업모델의 설계 방향을 제시하였다.
