Interaction between sedentary and nomadic cultural traditions has played an important role in the centuries-old history of applied arts in Uzbekistan. By the late 19th and early 20th century, driven by urbanization in the region and the gradual transition of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples to sedentary lifestyles, many industries and traditional cultural forms of formerly nomadic ethnic groups disappeared. Nevertheless, their role in shaping the national cultural identity of the Uzbek people is great. This is true in relation to one of the largest ethnic groups in Uzbekistan, the Kungrats, whose applied art represents a unique, viable, and yet little-studied phenomenon in the national culture of Uzbekistan. The article reviews carpet weaving, one of their surviving crafts, exemplified by qiz-gilam, a unique type of rug made using a combined technique. This study helps to show the nature of historical and cultural interrelations in the carpet weaving of Central Asian peoples and their cultural contacts with the carpet art of neighboring regions more widely and objectively. An important theoretical result of this study is the creation of criteria and tools for identifying qiz-gilam carpets. This allows us to bring clarity to the yet undeveloped system of their identification in museum and gallery practice.

This study analyzes the Asian, African and Latin American cultural hybrids in modem fashion, and offers a direction for desirable cultural hybrids in modem fashion. First, the cultural hybrids have been considered in two aspect: global hybrids and structural hybrids. Second, the trends of Asian, African and Latin American cultural hybrids have been interpreted differently depending on the cultural backgrounds of each area. However, the cultural hybrid representing the change of tradition in Asia, Africa and Latin America is a common trend, and is used to describe the social changes. Third, this study examines the global hybrid trend in modem fashion based on the hybrid trend of Asian, African and Latin American culture found in the four major collections from 2000 S/S to 2005 F/W. Until recently, the exotic images have been determined in the viewpoint of Western world, and utilization by the world-renowned designers in the four major collections plays the major role in converting the regional cultural elements into global ones. Fourth, this study also examines the structural hybrids in modem fashion based on the hybrid trend found in Asian, African and Latin American designer collections between 2000 S/S and 2005 F/W. The works which are connected to the world trend, but are also rooted from the cultural and regional traditions demonstrate the globalization of the Asian, African and Latin American fashion. Fashion is a messenger of a culture, and its importance as a symbol of a cultural trend is growing.

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.

The vast majority of people value humanity's ability to live in peace and stability. However, there are disparities between the concept of peace and what people experience daily within their community. As a result, before any society can begin to address the difficulties at hand, it must first have a thorough awareness of the socio-cultural-historical identities, ways of life, and value systems that have produced them. When a social community's culture, traditions, and ideals are ignored, members of the society become distrustful of one another. As this mistrust grows, various unfavorable societal occurrences can result. In this study, we will provide a model that has been successful in harmonizing these challenging issues in Gwangju Goryeoin Village in South Korea.

21세기는 문화의 시대로 문화상품은 한 민족의 정신문화가 깃들어 있어 세계화속에서 그 민족의 전통과 문화 및 기술의 척도가 되고 있다. 십이지신은 통일신라시대 이후 오늘날까지 이어온 우리 민족의 고유한 신앙과 사상의 산물이다. 따라서 문화상품의 범주에는 많은 것들이 속할 것이나 본 연구에서는 십이지신 캐릭터에 한정해 문화상품으로서 디자인을 하기 위한 가이드라인을 구축하고자 하였다. 십이지신 캐릭터 문화상품 가이드라인을 제시하기 위해 문화상품의 개념 및 분류, 한국 전통의 조형적 특성, 캐릭터의 개념 및 구성요소, 십이지신의 상징적 의미 및 특성, 십이지신 캐릭터의 의인화, 십이지신 캐릭터의 유형별 이미지들을 연구하였다. 연구를 통해 문화상품화 대상의 기준, 문화상품의 이미지, 십이지신 캐릭터의 적용대상 분류, 적용할 한국 전통의 조형적 특성, 캐릭터의 선호도, 십이지신 캐릭터의 의인화 및 십이지신 캐릭터 문화상품 개발에 대한 디자인 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

본 논문은 문화산업의 발전에 문화원형을 어떻게 효율적으로 활용할 것인가 하는 방안을 제시하기 위한 연구이다. 현재 다양한 전통문화상품들이 수도 없이 개발되고 있지만 문화재의 단순한 복제품이거나 트렌드를 고려하지 않은 전통의 복원에 국한되어, 소비의 대중화가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 백제 무령왕릉 출토유물에서 나타난 문양을 중심으로 진행되었다. 백제의 문화 중, 집단적인 전통의 상징물로 일반화된 특성을 가진 문양의 문화원형적 가치에 주목하였다. 아울러 문화상품의 디자인 개발은 전통적인 의미를 내재함과 동시에 현대적인 스타일로 표현하면서, 문양에 함축된 스토리 요소를 최대한 활용하는 방법으로 진행하였다. 디자인 연구개발 순서는 먼저 유물의 구성요소와 형태를 기본으로 정형화하고, 문양의 단순한 현대화가 아닌 문양 내제된 스토리를 고려한 디자인 모티브를 개발하였다. 그리고 개발된 디자인 모티브를 상품의 컨셉에 맞도록 디자인하여 시제품을 개발하였다.

미디어 정치경제학은 미국을 중심으로 한 주류 커뮤니케이션 연구의 실증주의와 행태주의적 경향에 반기를 들며 등장한 비판커뮤니케이션 연구전통의 하나이다. 비판커뮤니케이션 연구는 주류 커뮤니케이션 연구가 메시지의 효과에 과도한 관심을 기울인다고 비판하면서, 사회의 권력관계와 지배구조 재생산에 커뮤니케이션 메시지와 제도가 어떤 기능을 하는지에 주목하였다. 특히 미디어 정치경제학은 커뮤니케이션 제도의 소유와 통제, 미디어의 생산, 유통 및 수용과정, 그리고 커뮤니케이션과 자본주의 재생산 간의 관계에 대한 분석을 통해 권력의 문제를 다루는 데 주력해왔다. 이 글의 목적은 미디어 정치경제학의 학문적 지형과 이론적 과제를 살펴보는 데 있다. 먼저 미디어 정치경제학의 학문적 지형에 대한 검토는 미디어 정치경제학의 학문적 특성, 주요 관심주제, 주요 연구자들, 학문적 허브, 주요 논문, 주요 학술조직과 학회지 등을 살펴보는 것에 의해 이루어진다. 이어서 본 연구는 미디어 정치경제학 내에서 혹은 문화연구 등과의 이론적 논쟁을 통해 제기된 미디어 정치경제학의 이론적 한계들을 간략하게 되짚어보고, 이를 극복하기 위한 노력과 앞으로의 당면 과제들을 검토할 것이다.

The trend of globalization has sharpened the debate on interculturality, which scholars examine from different and often conflicting points of view ('content' vs. 'practice', 'culture-specific' vs. 'universal', 'communication (meta)theory' vs. 'communication practice', 'individual' vs. 'collective', etc.). Whereas all these approaches are necessary to describe the multiple dimensions of interculturality, their dichotomous nature does not help to account for its internal complexity, which cannot be dissociated from the connections that exist among all these dimensions. The difficulty posed by the essentialist interpretations that tend to result from these dichotomies is compounded by the fact that in postmodern debates priority has been given to approaches that emphasize individual or collective agency over structural constraints which have to do with political economy or with cultural and linguistic codes and traditions. This paper aims mainly at suggesting that the dissolution of the boundaries that exist between these approaches should be pursued in order to get a fuller and richer approach to their common object of study. After discussing, by way of illustration, content-based and practice-based perspectives, we suggest that one way of getting beyond these dichotomies consists in focusing on the 'interactional' dimension of interculturality, which means laying emphasis on intersubjectivity and, particularly, on the individual subjects considered as members of different cultural communities who strive to transcend their sociocultural boundaries in order to reach harmonious interactions in a world in which inequality and the de-territorialization of people and cultures are central features.

In Reservation Blues, Sherman Alexie examines how Indians can survive successfully in contemporary America, overcoming the tragic history of colonialists' violence and the resultant traumata. For Alexie, both reassembling the parts of the colonialist history through remembrance and testifying its unjustness play important roles not only in the decolonization process which probes the remnants and the negative effects of the colonialism deeply rooted in the lives of Indians but in the procedure of healing the political, cultural, and religious traumata. However, it should be noted that the ultimate aim of Alexie's decolonization does not lie in erasing every trace of the colonialism but in transforming its legacy into a story of survivance. The recovery of the tribal voices and the preservation of Indian traditions, blood, and cultures are essential in the survivance of Indians. Yet, Alexie's tribalism should not be viewed as an exclusive one. He knows well that it is neither possible nor desirable to maintain an exclusive tribalism based on blind adherence to a mythic or "pure" past. Exclusive tribalism is a cause for alarm in the contemporary world, a dynamic place where diverse cultures consistently change through collision, exchange, and negotiation. In Reservation Blues, Alexie stresses a spiritual and cultural flexibility that makes the cultural interpenetration possible as a key element of the meaningful survivance of contemporary American Indians.

Cultural heritage means a great lot to a nation's social system and its people's behavior consciousness and plays an important role in its self-development and improvement. It is essential for a nation's self-education and renewal. Improper cultural heritage will be disastrous because it may fall a nation into a loss of terrible chaos. Only the proper cultural heritage can make it always self-awaking, self-correcting and remaining vital in life. This paper, from the perspective of Choi Bu's Pyohaerok, makes a thorough analysis of the unbalance heritage of Chinese ancient culture for thousands of years. For example, many fine traditions gradually vanished in our actual life or only take half their life in heritage nowadays, such as our ancient broad and profound Confucian etiquette, ancient exquisite brocade art and architecture, ancient advanced ship-building technology and many other advanced numerous technological inventions; however, too much unwanted cultural rubbish keeps constant prevailing and takes repeated successions in the life, such as the heavy-form-and-light-content management mode, borrowing power to do evil, neglecting technological inventions long time and generally believing in ghost theory,etc.. This paper mainly focuses on the partial successions of the bad cultural heritage and its bad influence on the country, and concludes that it is just that that makes the country more and more backward. Therefore, the paper makes some pondering over these issues and proposes some related ideas of country-building to attract others participation to deal with them.
