종교상징에서 '문장(紋章, emblem)'은 '상징적 표지(標識, symbol mark)'로서 다른 대상이나 종교를 구별하게 한다. 또한 특정 종교를 확정하고 인식할 수 있게 하는 표상적(表象的) 혹은 개념적 특성을 가지게 한다. 한국의 대표적 민족 종단인 대순진리회 역시 상징이 되는 문장이 존재한다. 하지만 이 상징에 대한 공식 명칭은 없으며, 이 문장의 도안이 도기(道旗)로 제작되어 알려져 있다. 이 문장의 도안은 1978년 5월 11일 제작되었고, 이후 같은 해 10월 20일에 공식 게양되어 지금에 이르고 있다. 도기에 있는 대순진리회의 문장은 종단의 상징적 표지로서 종단과 관련한 여러 디자인에 활용되고 있지만, 이에 관한 학술 연구는 현재까지 이루어지지 않았다. 그리하여 본 논문은 기존의 도기 관련 자료들을 비교 정리하고, 나아가 현시점에서 대순진리회의 문장과 이 문장을 담고 있는 도기의 상징과 의미를 어떻게 바라보아야 할 것인지 대하여 언급하고자 한다. 물론 이는 상징이 가지는 다의성(多意性)으로 인한, 문장의 의미에 관한 하나의 관점을 제안하고자 하는 것이다. 본 글에서 대순, 삼원(三圓), 사대(四大), 중앙의 도안을 각각 제시하였는데, 이렇게 상정할 때 기존의 도기 해석보다 더 풍부한 상징성을 가질 수 있고, 그에 따른 대순사상적 의미를 도출해 낼 수 있음을 살펴보았다. 이러한 시도로 인하여 기존과는 구별되는 상징과 의의를 살펴보자면, 첫째로 문장의 중심을 이루는 원을 지원(地圓)이나 인원(人圓)이 아닌 대순의 중심이라고 언급하여, 천지인의 중심과 그 근본을 이루는 무극과 태극의 상징성을 도출해 내었다는 것이다. 둘째는 중앙에서 토(土)의 상징을 인원과 분리해 그 중화와 조화의 상징을 사대절로 드러내었다. 셋째는 원에 있는 돌기의 방향성을 통해 그 의미를 도출한 것이다.

'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.

Since the graphics of fashion items as a means to deliver messages suggest practical sections of the society while showing individual ideas and identity, they have values of promotion to attract attention by manifesting an effective function during the process of delivering intentions and the signification. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the characteristics expressed with graphics shown on T-shirts of casual wear out of all the fashion items and analyze the social messages reflected on them. Using the Barthes' system of denotation and connotation, distinguished symbolic functions and meaning among graphics were analyzed through the analysis of expression methods of the graphics as the denotation of initial meaning and connotation of secondary meaning. Each casual brand has led the sale of casual markets by appealing consumers with graphic items with characters printed such as various kinds of animals and symbols or lettering printed such as hieroglyph and logos, as various expressive methods and social significance as well as a effective communicative means of graphics. As examined above, graphics expressed on fashion items have an informative characteristic and a persuasive characteristic in the aspect of contents, which has a single value as a communicative characteristic. Those characteristics have developed into the fashion graphic actively reflecting a designer's conviction, values, feelings and identity by acting on social issues and publicness. That is, in the age of information, effective messages delivered through the fashion graphic to the public have contributed to the establishment of an appropriate atmosphere of visual culture while maximizing the role and function as a social significance.

Walter Van Beirendonck expresses a fairy tale world of perverted sexual desire of sadism and masochism, violence, and aggressiveness that breaks from a transient one-time concept as is an essential element of fashion. This study classifies the aesthetic characteristic shown on the design of Walter Van Beirendonck and analyzes the intent of his symbolism and meaning. The attempt has a meaning in exploring a new directionality of fashion by conveying a critical message to this end, contemporary fashion breaks down boundaries with artistic genre and connects a problematic consciousness that exists in life with fashion. The results of study on the aesthetic characteristics of Walter Van Beirendonck are as follows. First, Beirendonck emphasized an interpersonal image about body by giving a question through the deconstruction of image on a perfect body into race, age, and body based on body modification. Second, fetishism appeared as a consciousness that human identity and character can be changed by connecting a fetish element of sexual identity, and sadism and masochism with fashion's imagination. Third, infantilism as an amusement expression of the form metaphorically satirized life of modern people. Fourth, makeup shown on performance or festival of an African tribe was used in the way of mixture or reuse for ethnography to obtain inspiration from ethnography. Fifth, pop art combined a popular culture code as amusement through mass production and mass media. Aesthetics of Beirendonck do not have norm and are bold in using form, color, pattern, print, and styling because Beirendonck reinterpreted critical attitudes about essential problems that human life entails into a motif of his symbolic meaning in amusement. In regards to his design aesthetics, Beirendonck expanded fashion to the scope of Gesamtkunstwerk in a consistent and continued theme combined with philosophical creativity and differentiated from other fashion designers.

Rapid social changes and scientific advances of the $21^{th}c$ have brought on a major paradigm shift towards consilience, making boundaries more or less irrelevant. In the field of architecture, this is manifested in the emergence of colors that can be described as 'being aleatory', 'non-formal', 'non-deterministic' and 'perpetually evolving'. Contemporary architectural colors are not definitively fixed. They are rather liquid and metaphorical. Whereas the more traditional architectural colors have delivered clearly and precisely the intended symbolic meaning and visual information, those of today are less definitive and embody a more liquid and conceptual value system. This paper discusses the denoted signification and the meaning effect of the metaphorical color system found in contemporary architecture. This paper analyzes works of architecture from the late 20th century, when dramatic change sin architectural color system surfaced, to the more contemporary creations. Here, three categories of color are suggested, namely material color, spatial color and liquid color. Each categories considered in connection with deconstruction, holistic interactivity and the multiplicity of meanings that may result as information from the external world is perceived as stimulus to the inner mind. Contemporary architectural color scheme is characterized by its unpredictable vagueness of meaning, synesthetic engagement of imagination and chance, and expansion of the inner and outer world, all of which contribute to a metaphorical effect. The metaphorical color system of contemporary architecture can be classified into three dimensions, and it connects with human consciousness and amplifies itself through flexible and fluid communication. In this process non-physical colors materially serve as formal logic and room for varied interpretation of architectural space and our conceptual framework.

문화예술로서 춤은 역사이며 전통이자 의식 활동의 지속으로 한민족의 정체성을 이어갈 과거에서 현재, 미래적 활동이다. 이에 스토리텔링은 단순히 지나간 역사적 배경에 대한 서술이 아니라 재창조 되고 있는 영원성을 담고 있다. 본 연구로부터 춤의 예술적 미의 탐구는 전통이라는 오랜 역사를 통해, 오히려 '스토리텔링'이라는 본래적 본질과 가치에 대해 물음을 던지고 있다. 그 간의 춤 연구가 미학적 본질 또는 사상적 체계를 위한 이론가들의 연구였다면, 춤을 '이야기하다'라는 스토리텔링의 관점은 춤의 핵심구조와 사유에 관한 대중적 이해방식과 인문학적 가치탐구에 대한 절실한 태도를 상기시켜주었다. 본 연구의 의의는 스토리텔링의 개념적 정의에서 춤의 다양한 콘텐츠를 구축하기 위한 방편으로 스토리텔링의 유용성을 검증하는 것이다. 이러한 예로 제시된 처용무 텍스트의 방법론적 모색은 언어적 서사구조를 넘어 독자적인 예술로서 심층적 의미망을 형성하고 있었으며, 원형콘텐츠의 DB로서 스토리텔링 개발의 중요성을 시사해 주었다.

This study analyzes the characteristics of fashion flex, which have recently spread on social media. The study was conducted with big data analysis that derived flex keywords from news articles and social media as well as case studies that collected 136 posted images on Instagram to analyze the content. The meaning of flex was positively accepted based on big data results. Flex was also a buzzword frequently used on social media as well as a symbolic meaning when discussing luxury goods or fashion brand experiences. The characteristics of fashion flex in social media were largely divided into three categories. First, conspicuous consumption is considered an active expression of individual fashion tastes or self-oriented consumption and emphasizes individuality through consumption. The second characteristic is that the public actively participates in events or fashion flex challenges. People use similar fashion styles or products to participate in playful social interactions with others using various Instagram functions. Finally, acts of pursuing psychological well-being in social media were used as the term flex in a broad sense and were shown to actively explore fashion-related materials and experiences for individual happiness. This study found that the meaning of existing conspicuous consumption is transforming into positive consumption, such as the expression of taste-based identity or the seeking of fun and psychological well-being. It is also meaningful that fashion has become an effective means to express individuality and taste in expressing flex.
