Huafu is the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese as the significant cultural symbol of Chinese civilization. The resuscitation of Huafu is an exemplification for the pride of a nation, due to China's rapid economic development and a craze for Chinese cultures. Huafu's resuscitation is not only introducing the traditional design factors of Huafu into the contemporary fashion but also reflects the image of Chinese style created to modernize works. Through the study of the history of Huafu, it could be summarized that Ruqun(Zu-chin), Shenyi(Shen-yee), and Shan were the most important and typical types. The characteristics of Huafu were primary colors or strong contrast with achromatic colors, flora and fauna patterns, and geometric patterns. The clothing aesthetic of Huafu could be summed up as spacious, delicate, gorgeous, clandestine, and unconventional character. There were lots of elements in Huafu that could provide inspiration for contemporary fashion designers, such as forms, colors, patterns, details, and also the aesthetic. Based on the analysis of the Chinese designers who applied the elements of Huafu into contemporary fashion design, it could be recognized that the Chinese designer's works were made using the elements of traditional Huafu directly or using new fabrics and techniques to give a modern sense, but also embodies the Huafu's clothing aesthetic at the same time. In the wake of the resuscitation and publicity of Huafu, the essential factors of Huafu will be able to provide inspiration for designers not only for Chinese but also around the world.

This study examines Korea's international development volunteer program as a citizen diplomacy initiative. Informed by a cultural perspective of transmission and relational models of public diplomacy, I examine the ways in which volunteer training incorporates cultural-learning into its program. The study finds that volunteer training is largely based on an instrumentalist approach to culture that places emphasis on learning the "explicit" side of culture, such as Korean traditional dance, art, and food as a strategy to promote the country's national image. In contrast, much less covered in the training program is a relational approach to culture-learning that is guided by a reflexive understanding of the "implicit" side of culture, or the values and beliefs that guide the worldviews and behavior of both volunteers and host constituents. Whereas the value of the volunteer program as a citizen diplomacy initiative is in its potential to build relationships based on two-way engagement, its conception of culture is mostly guided by that of the transmission model of public diplomacy. Based on the findings, this study calls for an integrated approach to culture-learning in volunteer training program to move the citizen diplomacy initiative forward.

Recently, influence of color has been expanded in various fields including design field. Among human five senses, visual sense is best for information capturing, and 80% of information judgment by visual sense is from color. Color is emotion and image. Hanbok is marked by its beautiful color combinations. The guiding principle of such color chords was Obangsaek, or the traditional Korean five base colors. The method of this study is to consider concepts of Obangsaek derived from the principles of yin-yang and the five elements and is to investigate application of Obangsaek. And the purpose of this study is to understand traditional colors and is to provide judgment criteria on various color combinations based on Korean aesthetic sense for development of textile design. The degree of nation culture depends on the level of research, analysis and application on traditional colors. Obangsaek, Korean traditional color is splendid and primary color. Also, Obangsaek has symbolic and lucky meanings. These colors are still the primary source of coloring. Obangsaek has been reinterpreted by application on textile design, some into base colors and others into diverse shades. So this study will help in the aspect of development on Korean style design.

Florence Nightingale is best remembered today as the Lady with the Lamp, but modern research on the English nurse primarily addresses her popular iconography as a historical misrepresentation of her character and career. This scholarly reluctance to analyze critically Nightingalean iconography, however, has obscured important cultural work performed by the popular tropes. This article argues that the proliferation of Nightingale's iconic image as a symbol of Christian womanhood in transatlantic periodical poetry, when examined separately from biographical considerations, reveals important insights into the complex relationship between form and affect in mid-nineteenth periodicals. Popular representations of Nightingale give form to the disorienting effects produced on newspaper readers by the nascent field of international journalism and reflect a key generic paradox at the heart of the Victorian periodical: the simultaneous aim to report news objectively and to move readers affectively in response to events beyond national contexts and interests. Focusing on Lewis Carroll's "The Path of Roses" and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Santa Filomena," this article contends that Nightingalean periodical poetry mirrors back to readers their own affective response to modern media and functions as a new technology for managing an increasingly acute awareness of events and ethical responsibilities beyond the nation.

Based on a concept of Nietzschean nihilism, this study aimed at interpreting the nihilism in arts and its expressions, also analyzing the modern fashion collection from the same angle. The research was centered on arts after 1980, when post-modern formal destruction expanded in earnest and on the fashion collection after the 20th century, easily accessible to data. Particularly, it set 1994 nihilism collection by Alexander McQueen, a representative nihilist fashion designer as a starting point. Nietzsche mentioned that true arts may be achieved when Apollonian characteristics including a bodily sensory system and an idealization process and Dionysian characteristics including every human feeling are integrated. Besides, he emphasized the importance of an artist being represented as an image of ${\ddot{U}}bermensch$. The ${\ddot{U}}bermensch$ image, reflected in arts and artistic nihilism, represents themes of violence/death, realistic/unrealistic expressions, human body/inhuman aversion materials and the transmutation of a form. Fashion collection expressions, owing to the special characteristic of the show form unlike other arts, were segmented as a realistic ${\ddot{U}}bermensch$ image using a model in a theme, expression, material and form. The theme of violence/death was divided into the death of human and a society. Human life/death was expressed as destruction of human weakness and self-identity, sexual objectification and violence, and social death as destruction and conflict of a class, nation, culture and nature. As for the expression, it was divided into the realistic expression of the primitive/natural and directing of an unrealistic atmosphere using a show.

In an information-oriented and internalized society of the future, the quality and price of goods made by each country will be equalized. That eliminates competition. But the design and appearance of products is an important factor in international competition. Indeed, design symbolizes a country's culture visually, and it can show the cultural identity and originality of a nation in international society. And that will play an important part that can contribute to creating added value. It is necessary to revive our people's old lyrical stories which are far away from our memory, and we badly need design development to revive traditional cultural merchandise through visual modernization. Among various Korean cultural inheritances, lotus is often seen in tiles, porcelains and folk stories. In this study, I chose lotus as the subject material of textile design development, and my intention for this study is to reflect Korean traditional cultural value as much as I can, and to develop textile design of Korean images by adding modern scenes. For that, first I researched lotus pattern materials and examples of cultural merchandise.

Accessary is in the harmony with east -west fashion culture like that without transform. Aesthetic value of east-west culture fusion in fashion since 2000 years is summerised opening, co-ownership, and amusement. First, opening is positiveness of acception and acknowledgment for other. Second, co-ownership turns towards humanism, and proves participating in globalism and really global village. Third, amusement is to express freedom, and to reveal privately emotion concealing in public area.

이미지는 유구한 역사적 흐름에서 파생되는 신화와 사회적 관습, 정신적인 심상(心象), 의미가 그림으로 기호화하고, 그림은 기호화를 통해 문자와 언어의 상징으로 이어지고, 기호화의 반복을 통해 민족의 상징체계가 형성되었다. 우리나라 민족은 수 천 년 동안 정신적인 단합·단결이 강한 민족이었음을 역사를 통해 알고 있다. 우리 민족의 단합된 정신적 상징체계는 어떻게 활용하고 이루어졌는지 신화 이미지를 통해 연구하고자 했다. 우리 민족은 샤머니즘을 통해 오랫동안 신화 이미지가 유지되어 왔고 아직도 제주신화 이야기는 제의식과 함께 치러지고 있으며, 신화 이야기는 구비문학이라는 학문적인 측면과 이야기 전개 측면을 영화에서만 연구되어지고 있는 상황이다. 우리 민족은 하얀 옷과 연결되어 백의민족으로 인식되고 있으며, 해가 지지 않는 동방의 나라 등 수식어가 태양과 연결된다. 우리 민족은 고조선 신화의 상징성에 하늘의 아들, 홍익인간, 박달나무와 신라의 계림 등 시대에 따라 이어져 왔으며, 언제부터 태양을 사랑한 나라가 되었고, 밝음이 상징이 되었는지 알지 못한다. 우리 민족의 정신적 상징체계와 관련하여 샤머니즘 사상에 내포되어 있는 제주 무신도의 신화적 이미지인 닭과 유사하게 표현된 이미지를 역사적으로 활용된 사례들과 문헌들을 제시하였고, 내표된 의미를 파악하기 위해 롤랑 바르트의 의미작용을 통해 신화를 재해석 하였다. 그 결과 날개 손과 몸이 깃털인 반인반수의 표현, 닭이 봉황으로 이어져 밝은 빛과 연결되고 샤머니즘의 빛의 '신라'와 연결되어 신의 명칭을 국가 명칭으로 가져왔을 가능성을 제시하였다. 밝은 빛을 사랑한 우리 민족의 정신적 상징체계 연구에 근거를 마련하였다.

본 연구는 중국 광주지역 대학생 시청자들의 한국 드라마 선호요인이 한국이나 한국인에 대한 이미지에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중국 대학생 시청자들의 한국드라마 선호요인은 드라마의 '주제와 내용', 드라마의 '연출과 음악', 드라마 '배우의 스타일' 등 3가지 유형으로 나타났는데 그 중 드라마의 '주제와 내용' 요인이 가장 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중국대학생 시청자들의 한국과 한국인에 대한 이미지 요인은 '한국인의 정시 및 관광지 이미지 요인', '한국의 문화적 요인', '한국인의 스타일 요인' 등 3가지 유형으로 나타났다. 중국 대학생 시청자들이 드라마를 통해 한국에 대한 현대적 가치에 가장 큰 관심을 보이고 있는 것으로 생각되며, 나아가 한국은 중국과 근접해 있어 문화적으로 친근하고 유교 문화권이라는 유대감 속에서 한국을 호감 가는 국가로 인식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 한국드라마의 선호요인이 한국의 국가이미지에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 한국인의 정시 및 관광지 이미지 요인, 한국의 문화적 요인, 한국인의 스타일요인 모두에서 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 이러한 결과는 중국 광주지역 대학생들이 한국드라마 선호요인, 즉 한국드라마의 주제와 내용, 연출과 음악, 배우라는 요인에 초점을 두고 시청하고, 드라마를 평가하며, 한국 드라마 시청을 통하여 한국에 대한 친근감을 형성하게 되고, 나아가 한국의 대중문화에 대한 관심과 선호를 높일 수 있다는 가능성을 보여주었다.
