The purpose of this study is to research the ideologies of African-American hair-styles according to cultural phenomena. This is a qualitative research using the books and theses about society, culture, hair and beauty, and materials of internet. The results are; Firstly, African-Americans are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa. About 75 percent of the dark-skinned people on this continent have hair labeled "kinky". Secondly, African hair-styles expressed Supernaturalism and Traditionalism in the formative period of African culture. African-American hair-styles reflected Colonialism in the period of slaves. African-American citizen's hair-styles showed Nationalism after 1960s' Black Pride Movement in the period of settlement in America, and expressed De-territorialism since the boom of 1970s' Reggae. Today, the wearing of dreadlocks, cornrows, and afros has transcended racial and religious barriers. No longer necessarily reflections of ancient traditions and cultural identification, they are just as often fashion items.

이 연구는 대중문화 콘텐츠가 초자연적 존재를 다루는 방식의 특징을 살피고, 한국의 신자유주의적 맥락에서 그러한 재현방식이 갖는 정치적 함의를 탐색하기 위해 텔레비전 드라마 <오 나의 귀신님>과 <싸우자 귀신아>를 사례분석 하였다. 두 텍스트를 분석한 결과, 첫째, 두 드라마의 내러티브에서 모두 일상성과 초자연성 사이에 명확한 경계를 설정하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 초자연성은 텍스트가 제기하는 갈등요소의 경계를 확장함으로써, 사회적 현실의 난제에 대한 문제제기를 하는 데 효과적으로 사용되고 있다. 셋째, 갈등구조가 해소되는 과정에도 초자연성이 중요한 역할을 함으로써, 결국 내러티브를 리얼리티가 아닌 판타지에 경도되게 만든다. 이 결과에 따르면 대중문화 텍스트의 초자연적 존재 사용이 사회적 모순을 드러내고, 신자유주의적 담론질서에 대한 저항적 성격을 지닌다는 선행 연구의 주장은 조정될 필요가 있다. 특히 대중성이 강요되는 콘텐츠 장르의 특성은 텍스트의 저항적 잠재력을 크게 약화시킨다. 이런 결과는 초월적 존재를 다루는 대중문화 콘텐츠의 정치적 의미를 해석함에 있어 그 이중적, 양가적 효과에 주목해야 한다는 점을 말해준다.
