This study attempts to give a review of social media users' choice of a particular name for the sake of signaling identity cues and interaction with the others. The social media names could be classified into different categories such as traditional/cultural anthroponyms, nicknames and fictitious IDs etc. Out of these categories, it is the phenomenon of choice and construction of fictitious social media IDs by Pakistani social media users which has been reviewed and scrutinized in this particular article. This study examined fictitious IDs of Pakistani social media users from Critical Discourse Analysis and System Functional Linguistics perspectives and demonstrates how nationalistic, ethnic and religious identities are negotiated, constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed by the social media users through a particular ID choice.

Sethe and Denver are isolated from the community at the 124 Bluestone Road. When Beloved, ghost who was killed by Sethe, appears, Sethe and Denver are wondering who she is. Rememorying in Beloved is the important form of narrative that Morrison uses to recover their trauma. Morrison emphasizes the need to reconcile with the community and the aid of community for Sethe and Denver to heal their truma. Thanks to Beloved who leads Sethe and Denver to the community, they can be finally one of the community members in America.

As result 47％ of total cases were used the partial transformation method. 16％ by the indicative imitation method, 7％ by the partial invoked method and 30％ by the conceptual reception method. This result indicated designers have had more active attitude in expressing koreanity with interpretation of traditional concept in a contemporary way, rather than simply introducing and immitating traditional object. Design examples were organized and explained according to expressional method types.

이 글은 한국의 창작국악작품이 어떻게 21세기한국문화의 고유성과 현재성을 알릴 수 있는 문화콘텐츠로서 활용될 수 있는가를 작곡가 이성천의 작품세계를 중심으로 고찰한 연구이다. 이성천은 한국의 전통과 한국적인 정체성을 학문적으로 창작적으로 깊이 고민하며 작품세계를 펼쳤던 대표적 작곡가이다. 이성천의 작품세계 중 전통음악적 작품, 자연소재의 작품, 민족주의적 소재의 작품, 문학소재의 작품들은 한국 전통문화와 한국적 정체성과 관련해 문화콘텐츠화될 수 있는 가능성을 지닌 작품들이다. 이 연구를 통해 한국문화의 고유성과 정체성을 알릴 수 있는 음악문화는 전통음악뿐이라는 고정관념을 넘어, 전통을 기반으로 새로이 창작된 현대적 창작국악작품도 한국문화콘텐츠로서 확고한 역량을 다 할 수 있으리라는 사실을 살펴보았다.

본 연구는 그라피티(Graffiti)를 동두천 구시가지에 적용하여 도시를 재생시키고, 더 나아가 그것을 도시의 정체성으로 연결시키는 도시 문화콘텐츠 융합 디자인 방안에 대해 논의하였다. 연구를 위해 세 가지 방법을 이용하였다. 먼저 동두천의 정체성 배경과 문화자산을 조사해보고 정체성이 잘 드러나는 장소를 분석하였으며 그리고 관내 대학을 다니는 대학생들을 대상으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 조사 결과, 도시 정체성 강화 방안으로서 그라피티 활용에 대한 긍정적 반응을 얻었다. 동두천에 미군이 주둔하면서 만들어진 이국적 이미지는 도시의 정체성을 결정짓는 중요한 요인으로 평가된다. 락 페스티벌은 미군 주둔에 따른 문화적 영향으로 자리를 잡게 된 동두천의 대표적인 문화자산으로서 도시 정체성을 결정짓는 요소 중 하나이다. 이러한 문화자산과 자연스럽게 어울리고 도시 정체성을 더욱 강화할 수 있는 요소로서 그라피티라는 시각문화가 제시되었다. 연구 결과에서는 동두천시의 정체성 변화와 도시재생 효과, 그리고 무공해 문화 창조의 도시 이미지 부각 효과를 기대하면서 그라피티를 활용하는 방안에 대해 제안하였다.

최근 들어 도시 재개발 과정에서 중요시되는 도시 워터프런트를 다각적으로 이해하고자 하는 여러 시도들이 이루어지고 있다. 본 고에서는 수(水)문화 개념에 입각하여 항구도시 워터프런트를 문화론적으로 해석하고자 시도했다. 본 논문은 안과 밖을 허물고 경계를 희석시키는 물의 속성에 기반하여 바다의 역동성과 집합성, 개방성 속성에 기초하여 워터프런트가 가진 속성을 밝혔다. 그리하여 항구도시 워터프런트가 지닌 경계성, 개방성, 혼종성, 통로적 성격이라는 문화론적 속성이 도시 거주민의 문화정체성 형성에 깊은 영향을 미친다는 점을 부산의 사례를 통해 강조하였다. 이를 통해 항구도시 워터프런트와 거주민들의 문화정체성간의 상관관계를 분명히 하였다. 나아가 이런 상관관계에 대한 이해가 항구도시 워터프런트 개발의 방향성에 반영되어야 한다고 제안한다.

In recent years, the relationship of language maintenance to culture and identity has received increased attention in the language acquisition and education fields. Korean immigrants in the U.S. form one of the biggest Asian groups and their language and cultural maintenance has been a major issue for both parents and ESL teachers. The present research is designed to investigate the cultural and social identities as well as the psychological investment factors that contribute to heritage language maintenance. Three Korean immigrant families in a small Midwest university town in the U.S. were surveyed and later interviewed. Issues and strategies concerning their children's Korean education in the U.S., coupled with the competing goal for the children to learn English were documented through parent interviews and interviews with school-aged focal children. Strategies and stances that facilitate or hinder both heritage and target language maintenance goals are presented along with participants' major reasons for heritage language maintenance in their homes and via Saturday schools. This work will assist ESL teachers and sociolinguists in situating both Korean student and parent goals in the context of shifting cultural and linguistic identities in countries where they have immigrated.

Tar Baby, Toni Morrison's fourth novel re examines the problem that black characters face in negotiatiating a place for themselves within a dominant culture, with respect to their own history and culture. The novel critiques the dominant socio economic and commodifying cultural space from which the black woman seems to have no escape. Jadine is a colonized subject, for as a fashion model she has surrendered to an aesthetics of commodification, and as a student of art history, she has internalized the capitalist ethic of the white culture industry. Though she has ensured her freedom, Morrison's critique of her separation from her family and culture is unmistakable. Interwoven with her narrative is Son's predicament, the stereotype of a black racist and her 'lover'. The novel ends with him at the crossroads of culture, yet signaling his passage to freedom through resistance. The paper arguments how Toni Morrison has envisioned the welfare of African American community by reconstructing the role of new black generation, as represented by Jadine and Son, whose new journey towards their self fulfillment just not only bring their personal freedom but also regenerates African American community by resisting dominant commodifying cultural.

The concept of the "diaspora" has established itself as one of the major topics in literary and cultural studies in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Contemporary studies on this topic tend to regard is diaspora as either as a liberatory space unmoored from a repressive national identity-formation or as a condition pregnant with challenges to the authority of a nation-state or nationalism. Viewed from within the social realities of multi-ethnic nations, however, diaspora has an alternative, darker face. For, reproduced within the concept itself, is that of a hierarchy: this hierarchy is one in which a dominant group seeks to repress the same ethnic members for their failure to conform. What is more, the cultural difference, which diaspora is believed to preserve, lends the dominant group an excuse to re-ethnicize its immigrants, subsuming them under the same extra-national category as that of the people or homeland they have left behind. By analyzing a range of historical and theoretical models, this study offers itself as an attempt to clarify the current, and often confusing, understandings of the condition of diaspora. By delving into its political potentials and discussing their possible socio-political ramifications, the study suggests that researchers of diaspora need to anchor themselves in historicity lest they end up "speaking for" their chosen subjects.

This study analyzes the relation of the consumption values and ethical fashion consumption behavior as well as other influential factors between Korean and German ethical consumers based on the 'Modified Theory of Planned Behavior.' A survey was conducted on female consumers in their 20s and 30s, who experienced ethical fashion consumption in Seoul and Berlin. A factor analysis, reliability analysis, F -test and multiple regression analysis were performed for model verification. The research results indicated that emotional value (in case of Korea) and functional value out of consumption values (in case of Germany) have significant effects in regards to the influence of consumption values on ethical self-identity. The effects of ethical self-identity on ethical fashion consumption behavior indicated that Korean ethical self-identity influenced the ethical fashion consumption behavior of moderating and simplicity and eco-friendly certification versus local consumption as well as above factors (in case of Germany) explained by ethical self-identity. Both variables had a negative moderating effect in Korea in regards to the moderating effects of social comparison and materialism in the relations of ethical self-identity and ethical fashion consumption behavior; however, only materialism was an influential factor in Germany. The results of the research variables by individualism/collectivism indicated that the horizontal-collectivism group showed the highest ethical self-identity along with the lowest materialism tendency that had a high point of consumption behavior towards local consumption. However, the vertical-individualism group was outstanding. The consumption behavior aimed at moderating and simplicity.
