  • This is a study on angels' costumes in religious paintings, especially as this relates to the questions of concepts and theological symbolism. Angels, as spiritual creatures in Christian thought, play the role of praising God's glory, as messengers of God, the role of guarding Israel and the Church, and protecting or punishing human beings. Sometimes the angels appear in incarnate form. They display no sexual differences and are not able to procreate. The angels' funtional classification being thus; nevertheless, they are pictured in various costumes and appearances according to characteristics of the paintings. The angel Michael appears as a man of dignity when pictured as a guard; the angel Gabriel in the annunciation is often portrayed as a woman of mystical beauty. Under the Renaissance, the mighty cherubim and seraphim at Yahweh's throne are degraded as plump child-angels, or winged child-heads looking alike Eros or Cupid. They have become playful and all too obviously non-heavenly chrubs, accepted features of the Temple decorations. However, cherubim are often depicted as naked or wrapped around with a piece of cloth and accompanied with wind, which symbolizes the Glory of God. The angels, costumes without seam are hung over or wrapped around the body, and when sewn they are simple and ample enough that they fall in a great many folds. However, by the 14C. angels are mostly dressed in costumes common to all Europe, and after that angels gradually appear in folk costumes; for example Italian, Flemish, etc. Dalmatic, the typical costume of Byzantine often shows up as angels' dresses even after the period. Originally the dalmatic was the Roman tunic to which Eastern influences added. The Roman clavus on the tunic had gradually lost distinction until, by the Imperial epoch, it was worn by the lowest servants. It was proudly therefore, as 'The servants of God', that the early Christians are shown wearing the clavus on their wide, ungirdled, sleeved dalmatics. In addition to their costume, angels have some other distinct charateristics. First, angels have a halo around their head; this symbolizes their holiness. Second, angels wear a narrow diadem or a queen's crown that seems to denote their glorious status close to God's throne. Third, the cloth band across the breast resembles a priest's stole, which suggests the sacred role of a priest and symbolizes the grace santified. Fourth, lilies in the annunciations are symbols of Mary's virginity. chastity, innocence and heavenly bliss. Angels hold palms or olives in their hands. The former denote prosperity. beauty and the Christians' reward after death; the latter represent peace and amity. the imperial crown made of olives means victory. Fifth, angels in paintings always have a pair of wings, which can be traced to scripture where cherubim and seraphim are described as having pairs of wings. Angels' wings often have colors of the rainbow, and the rainbow is compared to God's glory. Sixth, generally artists paint angels' costumes as white, blue, green, gold and purple. Other colors such as red rarely appear. According, to scriptures it is believed that angels should be depicted 'as white as snow'. According to the biblical expressions of angels as lightning, sun or a pillar of fire, angels should be described as creatures of light. Nevertheless being a form of art, religious paintings may differ in their presentation according to an artist's inspiration and intention. Since religious paintings illustrated above were almost all done before the Reformation, symbols of colors used in the Catholic Church will also be mentioned. The white color symbolizes chastity, purity, brightness, delight and divinity. Green represents new birth, eternal life, spiritual revival and the expectance of the grace of God. Blue, the color of sapphires, denotes chastity and truth. Red, the color of rubies, represents divinity, love and religious passion. Violet is the color of dignity, indicating the sovereign, royal or imperial power and the great Sacrifice of Christ. As mentionad above, angels' costumes were expressed in accordance with contemporary patterns or as indicated in the Bible, and accesories and colors correspond with Christian symbols. Therefore these facts should be taken into consideration when it comes to the study of costume history.

글래머 스타일의 물신주의적 특성과 미적 가치 (Fetishist Characteristics and Aesthetic Values of Glamour Style)

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the fetishist characteristics and the aesthetic values of glamour style based on the premise that fetishism is the theoretical root of glamour style expressed in fashion throughout history. The following results are from analysing fetishist characteristics of glamour style. First, luxury was analysed from an angle of commodity fetishism. Every culture develops images and stories that portray a world in which its ideals are realized: a paradise, a utopia, a golden age, etc. Consumer goods often serve as 'bridges to these ideals'. People thus can fantasize about owning the perfect life. Crucially, however, they must never get everything they picture. That is why luxuries often take on displaced meaning. Glamour gives the displaced meaning visual form, making it beautiful and real. Second, the attention on the glamour of luxury goods as a bridge to ideals is connected to the glamour icon who is simultaneously a consumer of these luxury goods and a producer of cultural goods. Glamour icons including the courtesan of the late 19th century, the actress of the 1930s' Hollywood golden age and today's celebrities appear to efface the traces of production and create fetishist images in culture. Through this artificial principle, the commodity-cum-glamour icon comes to life as a splendid image of spectacle. Third, masquerade and seduction were analysed from an angle of sexual fetishism. A magnificent image of masquerade as sexual fetishism is often equated with femininity, especially in Hollywood movies, because the artificial seduction of the feminine -namely glamour- can be effected by the absence or silence of being. That is to say, the aesthetic revelation of femininity coincides with the fleshing out of artificial signs. Masquerade and the seduction of the feminine are connected with glamour's artificial sensuality from this point. Fourth, since 1980's when homosexuality as sexual deviation resurfaced as a hot topic, sexual ambiguity and bisexual image have gained attention as perverse sexuality. Next came queer theory, which reduced gender itself to a matter of surface rather than depth. According to queer theory, gender itself can be revealed as a kind of drag act. Drag's imitative performance may reveal that womanliness is just about 'dragging up'. Queerness as a decadent play makes a connection with the wicked origins of glamour. From these characteristics, four aesthetic values were deduced: ostentatious luxury and mysterious idolatry by commodity fetishism, artificial sensuality and playful queerness by sexual fetishism.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 미얀마의 섬유 및 패션산업에 대한 교수 및 대학생들의 인식을 살펴보고 패션 관련 고등교육 프로그램의 현황과 수요를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 미얀마 대학생들과 양곤공과대학교 섬유공학과 교수들을 대상으로 인터뷰 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 한 명의 한국인 교수를 제외하고 교수들은 이메일을 통해 폐쇄형 및 개방형 질문이 포함된 설문지에 응답하였다. 학생 데이터는 온라인 그룹 인터뷰 또는 이메일을 통해 수집되었다. 응답은 키워드 추출 및 분류를 통해 분석되었으며, 미얀마의 고등교육에 대한 일반적인 의견에 대한 폐쇄형 질문에 대해 기술통계분석이 실시되었다. 일반적으로 교수들은 고등교육이 매우 중요하며, 미얀마의 고등교육이 개선될 필요가 있다고 하였으며, 예체능 교육이 매우 중요하고, 예술과 패션을 포함한 문화산업은 미얀마의 사회경제적 발전에 중요하며, 패션산업이 미얀마 경제에 기여하는 바를 고려할 때 패션교육은 중요하다고 답하였다. 미얀마의 패션 산업에 대한 관심은 특히 학생들 사이에서 매우 높았지만 섬유공학 분야 학위 취득에 대한 관심은 제한적이었다. 의류업계의 낮은 임금, 관심이 아닌 학점으로 전공이 결정되는 것, 미얀마의 고등교육 및 패션스쿨 패션학과의 부재 등을 이유로 들었다. 일부에서는 미얀마 대학생들의 교육적 요구에 맞는 패션 학위가 제공되면 이러한 인식이 개선될 것이라고 믿었다. 패션상품개발, 패션디자인, 패턴 메이킹, 패션마케팅, 패션 브랜딩, 패션매니지먼트, 복식사사, 문화연구 분야에서 교육 프로그램에 대한 수요가 높았다. 섬유공학과 학생들은 졸업 후 섬유 및 의류공장을 주요 취업 기회로 인식하였다. 많은 학생들이 더 높은 급여를 받고 더 높은 수준의 지식과 기술을 습득할 수 있기를 기대했기 때문에 글로벌 패션 브랜드에 취직하기를 원했다. 미얀마 패션교육프로그램 개발은 패션 및 패션교육 분야에 대한 관심 증가, 교육을 받을 여력이 없는 학생들에게 학습 기회 제공, 미얀마의 국가 브랜드 개발, 미얀마 패션산업 및 전통 브랜드의 브랜드화 개선 등 다양한 긍정적인 효과가 있을 것으로 기대하였다.
