As fantasy films in which super heroes with superhuman abilities play an active part are rapidly becoming more popular, super hero stories are taking root as a new genre in fantasy films. The costumes in films play an important role in visualizing the virtual reality of fantasy films when those costumes are worn by characters so as to express and define them. In the meantime, in the antagonistic structure of good versus evil as a typical subject in these films, it may be said that the costumes of super heroes who advocate good and those of villains who represent evil have been created as an image of power. In this sense, it is necessary to establish an analytic system of how images of the power of good and evil are visually created in costumes for fantasy films. As such, this study seeks to analyze costumes in fantasy films more systemically through semiotic, which has taken root as a science of analysis in all areas of science. From the perspectives of aesthetic semiotic developed by Morris and costume aesthetics, the syntactical dimension is analyzed into formative elements and the principles of costumes; factual and expressive meanings, themes, and inherent meaning, all of which are immanent in costumes, are elicited in the semantic dimension; and the influence of costumes on viewers is described as identification in terms of pragmatics. This study provided a system to analyze costumes in fantasy films(especially 'Superman', 'Batman' and 'Spiderman') from the perspective of Morris' semiotic, and based on the analytic system, examined how 'power' is revealed in the costumes of super heroes and ruffians, and what it implies.

One of the most important characteristics in Hollywood movies is that Hollywood movies have created heroes. But, the meaning of heroes in Hollywood movies is different from proto- typical heroes. America has such a short history, so it doesn't have the mythology. It is also consist of multi-race, culture. Thus, America people, especially governor need something that tie up governed people spiritually. Hollywood film industry has responded about this expectation since 1920's. Hollywood film producers have created mythology and hero like the western genre and Rambo. Now days, America, as only super power, wants to spread it's mythology and heroes over the world. That is cultural Imperialism.

본 논문은 한국, 미국, 일본 세 문화권의 애니메이션에 나타난 여성 캐릭터의 재현 서사를 비교 분석하고, 이를 통해서 각 문화권이 대중에게 제시하고자 하는 여성 캐릭터의 젠더 정체성을 도출했다. 이를 위해 먼저 2장에서는 문화권별 애니메이션 속 여성 캐릭터들의 표면적 이미지를 분석하고, 특히 이것이 어떠한 현실 인식을 반영하는지 살펴봤다. 애니메이션 속 여성 캐릭터들은, 대표적 문화 기호로 작용하면서 해당 문화권의 패러다임과 질서를 체현하고 있었다. 3장에서는 애니메이션 전체의 서사 구조 내에서 여성 캐릭터들이 극적 사건을 해결하는 방식을 비교 분석하고, 이를 통해서 여성 캐릭터의 행동과 사건 층위에서 나타난 문화적 함의를 도출했다. 한국의 경우 현실세계의 아이돌을 현실 연장적 맥락 안에서 모방했으며, 미국의 경우 비현실적 슈퍼 히어로를 실제 세계의 질서를 강화하는데 활용했다. 한편 일본의 경우에는 마법소녀로 하여금 매직 서클을 만들고 초현실적 여신으로 강림하도록 유도한다. 이처럼 본 논문은 애니메이션 속의 여성 캐릭터가 현실에 대한 인식과 문화적 패러다임에 따라서 해당 문화권의 남성 중심적 이데올로기를 각각 차별적으로 반영하고 있음을 밝혀냈다.
