With the globalization of the film industry, ethnic minority films have been developed and studied by many scholars for their special ethnic representation. The film "Tharlo" directed by Pema Tseden carefully explores the identity anxiety of a Tibetan shepherd. Through the connection and separation between the protagonist and traditional culture, it shows a complexity of modern ethnic identity for minority people. This study explores what kind of cinematic techniques and symbolic elements the director uses to shape ordinary characters, build a narrative space, and show ethnic representation. This paper puts forward a theoretical framework combining cinematic quantitative methods with qualitative narrative and semiotic analysis, aiming to deepen our understanding of cinematic techniques and ethnic representation, and provides a new perspective and profound insights for discussing the complexity faced by ethnic minorities in contemporary films. This study finds that Tseden's "Tharlo" successfully portrays the complex transformation of Tibetan cultural identity in the context of globalization and modernization through cinematic techniques such as fixed camera positions, long take and black-and-white cinematography, combined with the use of symbolic elements like mirrors, lambs and identity cards.

As the number of immigrants staying in Korea has gradually increased since the mid-1990s, the rate of chronicle migration from certain countries such as China and Vietnam remain high. Registered foreign residents have formed ethnic communities depending on their countries of origin, and the purpose of stay, Korean language literacy, rent, and accessibility have resulted in their self-congregation or forced segregation. This study aims to explore the direction in which immigrants' residential distribution move over time, and whether the ethnic communities show any differences in the level of congregation or segregation. It focuses on identifying the residential distribution of Korean-Chinese, Chinese, and Vietnamese at the city, county, and district level across the country in Korea and examining the congregation and residential changes of three groups over the past decade using centrographic method. Comparing the location as well as the level of residential congregation or dispersion of three groups, which account for the majority of non-professional immigrants in Korea, it will provide a basis for further research on residential congregation or segregation of immigrants in the future.

The materials for the study are the precedent studies, the related literature, and the photographs of the works and the interview articles in fashion journal at home and abroad. The result of this study were finds three esthetic characteristics in his works and fashion philosophy; historic, ethnic, and hybrid sense. First, the historic sense, Christian Lacroix's biggest characteristic, is influenced by his major studies, but is not a revival from the past itself but a new characteristic based on borrowing and reinterpreting the images created by introducing and compromising the historic elements. Second, the ethnic sense is influenced by the growing background in his childhood and can be characterized as compromise among the multi-national design features. It is certified by the contrasting images, styles, expressions, materials, ornament elements, and so forth with the worldwide ethnic senses centered by the southern France and Spain. Third, the hybrid sense as the essential characteristic shows the uniqueness in his design by not only combining the modern materials, technologies, and futuristic emotion but also liberally compromising and associating the emotions based on a mixture among the follows; the historic representative styles, the foreign materials, the diversity between the Eastern and Western culture, and all elements, details, trimmings In the fashion design.

본 연구는 해외교포사회에 북한춤이 전파되는 과정과 그 발전양상을 살펴보는데 목적을 둔 것으로, 해외에 거주하는 민족집단으로서의 재외동포들의 무용문화, 특히 재중, 재일조선인들의 무용문화에 대한 관심과 연구의 필요성을 생각해보았다. 문헌연구 중심으로 살펴본 논점의 결과, 재일조선인사회와 중국조선족자치구의 무용문화의 출발점엔 공통적으로 최승희춤이 있었으며, 두 민족집단은 최승희로부터 직접·간접적으로 춤을 배우거나 작품을 전수받았으며, 최승희가 정리한 조선무용기본을 기초훈련으로 하여 무용을 습득했다. 또한 무용전수 및 훈련기관은 재일조선인사회의 경우 북한의 체계와 같이 무용소조를 따로 두고 그곳에서 무용훈련을 통해 재능있는 인재를 배출하여, 전문예술단에서 활동하게 하는 시스템을 유지해 왔다. 이에 반해 중국조선족자치구는 연변대학과 중앙민족대학내에 무용학과가 배치되어 있어 그곳에서 조선춤을 전수 교육함으로써 재능있는 무용인재들을 배출해 왔으며, 한국의 무용교육체계와 유사한 면을 볼 수 있다. 무용기초훈련과 작품의 경향면에서는 재일조선인사회에서는 북한에서 실천하고 있는 무용기초훈련과 기본훈련을 그대로 전수하고 있으며, 작품도 북한춤을 대표하는 명무나 민속무용을 그대로 전수받아 공연하고 있다. 그러나 중국조선족자치구에서는 최승희가 정리한 조선무용의 기초와 작품을 그녀로부터 직접 훈련받거나 전수받았으나, 최승희의 제자들은 그녀가 세운 무용기초를 발전시켜 중국소수민족의 춤기법 등을 접수하면서 중국조선족만의 무용훈련체계를 세워나가면서 한국춤과의 교류도 성사시켜 북한춤보다는 자유롭게 창작성을 가미한 중국조선족 무용문화를 형성하게 되었다. 전수된 시기로 보면, 재일조선인사회는 1960년대부터 시작되어 1970년대에 들어서는 직접적인 평양방문을 통해 전수와 교육을 받았고, 1990년대에는 북한무용가를 직접 일본으로 초청하여 무용기초훈련을 교육받음으로써 북한춤에서 볼 수 있는 스펙터클한 양상을 그대로 재현하고 있다하겠으나, 중국조선족자치구에서는 1950년대에 평양과 북경에서 최승희로부터 직접적인 지도를 받았고, 이후에는 북한무용가들로부터의 직접적인 지도보다는 북한예술단의 중국방문을 계기로 무용영향을 받는 한편, 1990년대 이후부터는 한국춤을 흡수하기 시작하면서 중국조선족만의 색다른 무용문화를 창조해 왔다. 같은 민족이면서도 살아가는 지역과 그 지역을 구성하는 민족집단의 구성체계 및 정치체제에 따라 북한춤의 전수과정 및 발전양상도 유사하지만 각각의 아이덴티티를 보장하는 독자적인 특색을 지닌 무용문화를 형성하며 발전시켜 왔음을 알 수 있으며, 재일조선인사회의 무용문화는 조총련의 통제하 강제적 문화접변에 의한 무용문화의 변동을, 중국조선족자치구의 무용문화는 자발적 문화접변에 의한 자유로운 차용과 발전으로의 변동을 살필 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic information about the acculturation of Korean immigrants in China. A total of 459 Korean-Chinese from yanbian province, China and 768 Korean-Chinese from the city of Shenyang and Martin, China participated in this study. The subjects were asked about their language use during daily conversations and cultural activities using. The Cultural Life Style Inventory. Result indicated that overall Korean immigrants in China maintain their ethnic identity, ethnic language and culture. However, there were some differences in their levels of acculturation depending on the area they live and their educational levels. The differences were explained in part by the uniqueness of Yanbian province and a new policy for ethnic minorities in China. This study suggests that not only immigrants' demographic variables but also their ecological variables are important in understanding the acculturation of Korean immigrants in China.

이 글의 목적은 본 연구자가 에티오피아 아셀라 타운에서의 현지조사를 통해 수집한 자료를 토대로, 종족 현상을 다층적 맥락에서 살펴보는 데 있다. 생태학적 조건, 양대 종족의 숫자상 균형, 빈번한 종족 외혼 및 '젖 먹이기'라는 사회문화적 관행의 영향 등으로 인해, 이 타운에서는 집단적 수준의 종족 갈등이 거의 발생하지 않았다. 하지만 이러한 관행의 긍정적인 영향에도 불구하고, 아셀라에서는 지배 종족에 의한 차별과 위협이 지속적으로 발생해 온 것으로 파악되었다. 대개의 제보자는 종족 외혼이 종족 집단 및 공동체 구성원의 유대를 강화하고, 상이한 종족 문화를 습득하고, 사람들 간의 관용 정신을 배양하고, 혼종적(다중적) 종족 정체성을 가진 우수한 2세를 생산하는 데 기여한다고 여기고 있었다. 그러나 일부 제보자는 종족 외혼이 그 당사자의 이기적인 선택에 불과할 뿐만 아니라 종족 정체성을 손상시키므로, 결코 바람직한 일이 아니라는 입장을 견지했다. 상당수의 제보자는 현재 진행 중인 오로모화가 지극히 당연한 현상이라 여기고 있는 반면, 일부 제보자는 오로모화를 강제성, 피상성 및 생존 전략의 맥락에서 파악될 필요가 있다고 역설했다.

Unlike preceding studies focusing on ethnic concepts and design development, this study attempted comparative analyses on ethnic trends shown in the collections of two designers, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, who have strong ethnic consciousness. It is considered the comparative analysis on the two designers' collections with ethic images will be a guide to indicate the fashion philosophy of the two designers in the category of Japan, and this will be useful as basic data for the establishment of the globalization identity which is needed in the future fashion industry. The study results are as follows. First, it was found that the ethnic code has been so widely accepted by the world designers in a very positive form to accept foreign cultures that the ethnic code is now showing an aspect of eclecticism. Second, designer Issey Miyake has been pursuing his own ethnic style based on his philosophy to liberate humans through continuous researches and efforts on clothes. Third, Yohji Yamamoto has been pursuing a Japanese ethnic style as a designer who has expressed the unique beauty of Japan from the characteristics of Japanese traditional clothes. Fourth, as a result of comparative analyses on collections, they both have pursued an ethnic style based on the unique national characteristics of Japan, but it was also found that their fashion philosophy has developed differently in the same category of ethnic trend.

Reason for contemporary ethnic-look's remarkable world popularity is viewed as due to counteraction of disordered world conditions such as war, terror, and economic depression. These conditions led people to desire the returning to primitive human society where freedom and peace are preserved. The background of ethnic look emergence is influences of post-modernism, eastern and western culture hybrid, and ecology. This study will mainly focus on the analysis of present ethnic fashion trend and, with following to this, their images will be analyzed and categorized. The result of ethnic trend, especially that of Asian's and African's, from 2000 to 2005 is like this: representative Asian ethnic fashion tendency is focusing on Japanese and Chinese. In Japanese style, oversized silhouette was derived by Kimono and wide belt was appeared by influence of Kimono's Obi. Chinese ethic style are analyzed as adapting feministic silhouette and details from Chinese traditional clothes, Chipao. Additionally, in some of the Chinese ethnic-look, there are mixtures with Japanese, North American, and African's images. Mixing with pop images and ancient ones are also emerged. In the African ethnic look, people used colorful cloth and new materials which is considered as integration of primitives and modern science. From the study, it is possible to conclude that current modern ethnic fashion can be defined as blends with one country's image to the other, mixture with new technology, and acceptance to the multi-national folk fashion. These trends are widely revealed and extended in the world fashion. In the following result of the analysis, there were four outstanding images lying underneath in the present ethnic-look.

This paper is focused on the traditional sash weaving handicraft of‘She’ethnic group, which is located in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong province of China. This research is main-ly based on the field work, analyzed and inter-preted the traditional sash in systematic and reasoned way. The summary of this study are as follows : 1. On its technological aspect, weaving structure of the traditional sash is made of warp rod backed weaving. The used tool is primitive one but the weaving process includes scientific method. 2. From the social-cultural point of view, the sash ha been the symbol of love towards her lover. Every woman of this group had taken training for this sash weaving from a child. 3. On its ethnological aspect, it has been long history and has interchanged with other ethnic group like Miao, Han and also Okinawa country of Japan. The pattern inside this sash are almost looks like characters, but they are not Chinese characters whereas are the inde-pendent code of‘She’ group and have been inherent from ancestors and which will be tran-smitted to their posterity. These independent code of‘She’group are the traditional message to their later generation implicating their natural circumstances, human relationship, ethnic myth, spirit etc. 4. I recognize that the pattern inside the sash is defined as the communicative code and in comparison to language, it is more repetition and less apparent as close code. Nowadays China has been developed es-pecially in the economical fields rapidly. Under the circumstances traditional weaving culture of ethnic groups has been facing a crisis of disappearance, which will be a great loss for the country as well as the human beings. For this reason, I emphasize that it is very immediate to make co-researches into the material culture of Chinese ethnic groups.
