This paper examines how Japanese society produced and reproduced a distinctively gendered history and memories of the experience of WWII and colonialism in the postwar era. We argue that these gendered narratives, which were embedded in postwar debates about the Peace Constitution and comfort women, have engendered contradictions and made the historical conflicts with neighboring countries challenging to resolve. On the one hand, this deepens conflict, but on the other, it also generates stability in East Asia. After Japan's defeat in WWII, the American Occupation government created the Peace Constitution, which permanently "renounces war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes." The removal of the state's monopoly on violence - the symbol of masculinity - resulted in Japan's feminization. This feminization led to collective forgetting of prewar imperialism and militarism in postwar Japan. While collectively forgetting the wartime history of comfort women within these feminized narratives, the conservative movement to revise the Peace Constitution attempted to recover Japan's masculinity for a new, autonomous role in international politics, as uncertainty in East Asia increased. Ironically, however, this effort strengthened Japan's femininity because it involved forgetting Japan's masculine role in the past. This forgetting has undermined efforts to achieve masculine independence, thus reinforcing dependence on the United States. Recurrent debates about the Peace Constitution and comfort women have influenced how Japanese political elites and intellectual society have constructed distinctive social institutions, imagined foreign relations, and framed contemporary problems, as indicated in their gendered restructuring of history.

Dokdo issue reaches beyond economic and security interest to Koreans, as it is regarded as symbol of her independence. Albeit the fact that Japan has merely no legitimate title over Dokdo, Japan has been tenaciously insisting their jurisdiction over Dokdo since the independence of Korea. Under such circumstances, public outrage towards Japan is most certainly understandable. Yet, mere outrage itself, lacking in logic and factual grounds, can contribute little if not any, to the desirable solution of the problem. Precedents reveal that dealing maritime issues amid lack of profound understanding in international law has often led to undesirable results, such as the inclusion of Dokdo in the Joint Management Fisheries Zone in 1999 Korea-Japan Fisheries Agreement. In a sense, adroit use of international law is a critical element in preserving Korea's sovereign rights against persistent Japanese plans to rob Dokdo once again. The Dokdo issue is inextricably bound to international law; the legal status of Dokdo as island, the equitable solution of maritime boundary delimitation and effective control, existence of dispute. Yet, the public policies and arguments made by pundits are generally in lack of understanding in international law. It is now the time for Korea to commence on long-term cross-academia / department plans to establish Dokdo strategy as part of the nationwide maritime strategy effectively using international law as its stronghold.

As the great catastrophe in the modern and contemporary history of China, the Cultural Revolution(CR) is an object, which must have sutured the past of darkness. At the same time it is a continuous event and also a scar of memory. In other words, for history is "a dialog between the past and the reality"(E.H.Kar), CR intervenes in the reality and, on the contrary, the reality recomposes CR. From this point of view, CR is a historical event, which so far is not ended, and it is an object of memory, which is still being composed at the moment. As the saying: "Poetry is greater than history"(Aristoteles), artistic works more intensively reflect the past. The works related to CR can not be an exception. And CR is endlessly exposed in the contemporary Chinese fine arts and the works of the contemporary Chinese artists-Wang Guangyi, Yue Minjun, Zhang Xiaogang and others are proved to be those who suffer from the trauma of CR and who feel no liberty from CR. For example, CR probably is a symbol showing the "identity" of the Chinese artists. And the diversity of the symbol is the experience and pattern of the dialog between artistic works and CR (i.e., intervention in reality). For example, with withering of grand-narrative and appearance of micro-narrative, the CR critical works of Guan Zhoudao were the root of the Chinese fine arts in the late 70s and early 80s. In the contemporary cultural situation, the literary works about CR actively analyzed the history (CR) from the personal point of views and explained in the way of monolog and micro-method led the 1990s' works. In this way they tried to recompose the history "randomly", like looking at reality with their own eyes. In this process, CR is continuously exposing new features and the real facts are appearing before us as unfamiliar phenomena. This is a way of combination and "reappearance" of contemporary arts and reality. In conclusion, the purpose of this article is to make it possible to see a section of the contemporary Chinese fine arts through the study of the icon image of CR and to analyze the way of fine arts recomposing the history and the intervening in the reality. In this sense, the author has entitled the article "Icon and Form". It means how to reshape (the present) the typically formed icon of the CR (the past).

This paper is the second part of a series of the research about the Teddy boy style which is to examine various fashion changes in subcultural styles in 1900s. The main concern of this research is to investigate the creation and meaning of the Teddy boy style, how it interacted with the elements of class and generation and how the materials needed by the group constructed and appropriated into the visible systematic cultural form of correspondence. The Teddy Boys are the first recognized members of the British youth culture, which is known as the new Edwardian because of their dress. They had created the concept of the "teenagers," which forms the basis of the sense of a "generation" in the 20th century. The Teds set the style that would be used and modified in the following generations. They adopted the Edwardian style of the upper class, and changed it into their own style by modifying it and adding to it some other elements. The Teddy boys style is a special version of the sartorial appropriation encountered in the sphere of the fashion history. It actually began immediately after the war by the upper class youth far from the working class neighborhood. In the late 1953, the elitist aura surrounding the Edwardian suit was suddenly shattered. Within just a few months, the Edwardian suit became a source of social anxiety and the focus of a symbolic battle. Although the Edwardian look had initially went back to the upper class root, it became a symbol of rootlessness. In appropriation of this image, The Teddy boys were also rejecting the sartorial conformism of the English working class with its modest tradition. In this respect, the Teds effected the ascent or fall of the working class in the area of fashion. The Teds dress was not a merely borrowed fashion, but was a bastard fashion in the form of American trends, the Zoot suit. At this time members of the working class possessed only work dress for the week and waist suits for the Sunday outings. Teds broke this pattern, and developed the working class dandyism of wearing clothes simply to show off. The results were that they succeeded in opening the teen market, and popularizing a working class style for the first time in British history. The Teds became the first British street style with ties music, and remain as an symbol of the rising of a new age of values and styles.f values and styles.

In this thesis, I examined the mental, philosophical aspects and the aesthetic sense of our ancestors through the study of the patterns pictured in the mural paintings of Koguryo dynasty's old tomb. To view the mode of construction in Koguryo dynasty from present angle, the detailed analysis of the patterns was done. As a result, I could fully understand the formative consciousness of our nation. 1. I defined the process of transition of the mural paintings by putting some 70 mural aintings into the form of a diagram. 2. The cultural aspects of the mural paintings in Koguryo dynasty were characterized by the fusion of our primitive religion and Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism which were introduced from China. From this fact, I could inferred that Koguryo people were giving off the strong desire for the faith by means of the mural paintings. Further more I found that configuration of the patterns such as religious elements. 3. The types of the patterns were classified into four types, this is, geometric type, natural type, cultural type and abstract type, Among these types, geometric type and natural type were nonsymbolic in nature but became cultured and abstracted in course of time. cultural pattern and abstract pattern got the symbolic meaning in the long run. Of all the constitution of the patterns represented in the mural paintings such as repeat constitution, left and right symmetric constitution, top and bottom symmetric constitution and rotary symmetric constitution, the left and right symmetric constitution was mainly used and some monotony of left and right symmetric constitution. The analysis of motif which was got from the mode of the patterns showed that the mixing of symbolic and nonsymbolic patterns made it possible to regard the separate symbol as compound in nonsymbolic patterns and the combination between nonsymbolic patterns ensured the understanding of other patterns in certain cases. Our ancestors made great efforts to transmit certain meaning symbolically. Also to heighten the symbolism, they drew the meangless patterns firstly and then appended meaning to those patterns secondly. Furthermore, they offered the background to the patterns comblined with symbolism, so that meaning transmission was clarified at last. As mentioned above, the patterns shown in the mural paintings of Koguryo dynasty's old tomb were characterized by natural beauty. And natural beauty was found out clearly in the form and constitution of the patterns. Therefore I concluded that our nation's religious, philosophical tradition was acted on the patterns strongly.

이 논문은 칼 맑스의 선언문과 폐정 개혁문의 모달리떼와 그 상징성에 대한 연구이다. 이를 위한 텍스트로는 칼 맑스와 프리드리히 엥겔스의 공산 동맹 선언문과 동학 농민군의 폐정 개혁안을 채택했다. 이 선언문과 개혁문은 이 논문에서 1800년대의 철학적 실천담론을 모달리떼 양상으로 전개하며 기호학적 의미에서 그 공통의 상징성을 도출하고, 소유와 소외 그리고 계급에서 자유로워지는 민주주의를 향해 전진하는 사상적 흐름에 그 촛점을 맞추고 있다. 궁극적으로 동시대의 숨결 속에서 발표된 이 두 선언문은 감시와 처벌이라는 비인륜적 정책에 대한 고발장이다. 1일 2회 교회에서의 공간이 공장으로 바뀌고, 자본과 노동으로 2분법적 사고로 갈라치기 해서 이 범주 안으로 몰아넣는 행위가 마치 사회 윤리인 냥 치장되었으며, 사냥하는 식의 강요는 처벌 방식으로 이루어져 더 이상 사람이 존재하기 힘든 구조가 제도화 되어버린 현상에 대한 대항이다. 이 사냥의 틀을 깨부수려는 혁명운동이 바로 위 두 선언문으로 나타나며 칼 맑스는 자신의 존재를 '영원한 난민'의 위치에 둠으로서 공산동맹 선언을 통해 이루고자 한 유토피아의 절정을 완성하며, 동학농민군은 전봉준의 재판 취조과정에서 전개되는 그의 자유함에서 죽음을 택함으로써 자신은 물론 민중의 혁명정신을 완성한다. 동서양에서 동시에 폭발한 억압의 형태는 지배와 통치의 자본에 대한 철퇴이며, 이에 대한 새로운 대안이 '사람이 가장 큰 자본이다'로 새로운 패러다임 구축을 가능하게 하는 원천적인 철학적 배경이 된다는 점에서 이 논문은 그 의의를 ?고 있다.

본고는 츠리(池莉) 소설을 대상으로 하여, '집'이 어떻게 의미화 되고 있는지를 살펴본 것이다. 츠리는 신분의 상징으로서 집과 젠더수행의 장소로서 집에 주목한다. 첫째, 개인의 신분을 상징하는 부호로서 '집'은 지식인(적)/소시민(적), 문명/비문명, 지식/지식 없음, 정신/반(反)정신, 우/열로 이항 대립항을 구성하고 있다. 츠리는 우월성을 속성으로 하는 집의 이면에 자리한 불합리성과 불공정을 발견함으로써, 신분의 부호로서 이분화된 집의 경계를 허문다. 그녀는 이러한 경계 허물기를 통해, 지식인(적)/소시민(적)으로 이분화된 '집'을 각각 정신과 물질에 상응하는 것으로 배치하고 우열을 논하는 데에서 비껴가면서, 화해를 모색한다. 둘째, 젠더가 (재)생산되는 장소로서 집을 해체한다. 이는 두 가지 측면을 통해 이루어진다. 하나는 사적영역인 집을 경제활동이 이루어지는 공적영역으로 확장하는 것이다. 이때 집은 여성이 경제적인 주체로서 재탄생하는 장소가 된다. 이로부터 수동적이고 종속적으로 인식되어 온 여성성은 주체성과 독립성을 확보하게 되는 것이다. 다른 하나는 남성다움의 동일시로서 집을 재구성한다. 남성다움과 유착한 집은 강력한 남성성을 보여주기도 하지만 남성성의 훼손을 상징하는 장소가 되기도 한다. '집'의 이러한 양가성은 사적영역인 '집'에서는 은닉되고 배제되었던 공적영역에서의 여성(성)을 드러내면서, 남성다움을 전유하는 '집'에 각인된 젠더질서 및 젠더관념을 전복한다. 공적영역에서의 여성(성)의 발견을 통해, 젠더화된 '집'의 해체를 넘어 젠더화된 '일상'에 대한 해체를 모색하고 있는 것이다. 바로 여기에 츠리 서사의 의미가 있다고 본다.

This study examines the meaning of retro phenomenon and its background of establishment that showed in the pop culture. And it finds out the retro phenomena in the domestic fashion trends. And it defines the characteristics of dress and its ornament in the retro phenomena that have shown in the Korean movies since 1998. By doing this, it examines the relationship between movie dress and street fashion while it compares the styles in the 50s 70s with the retro fashion that is currently emerging. The results of the study are as follows. First, the hippie look in the 60s represented a distinctive characteristic of how they rejected traditional lifestyles. Hippie's romantic femininity that showed in the movie of 'Oollala Sisters' received a spotlight as a necessary style in the modern fashion trend. Second, while the funk look in the 70s was a style of disorder and disgust, the movie gives it a possibility of fashion with a converted sense as a vanguard fashion while embracing the funk look. Third, the layered look in the 70s was expressed with layered items, while the current layered look emphasizes layered textiles as shown in the movie of 'Hae-Jeok Became The Disco King'. Fourth, the feminine look which was a symbol of restraint shows a mixed style with delicate feminine items as shown in the movies, 'The Harmonium In My Memory' and 'Ditto'. Fifth, the training look that has two stripes as shown in the movie 'the Friends' is considered as casual wear, which is functional and easy to move at the end of the 20th century. Finally, the romantic images of school look, as shown in the movies 'the Friends' and 'Hae-Jeok Became The Disco King', show a renewed mixed & unique style. This study has its significance in the sense that it verifies the fact that the movie dress does not show the characteristics of the works that momentarily passes the screen, but it becomes a foundation of the future fashion design. At this time that Korean movies are highly developing, a through study on the movie fashion will not only give a direction of future in the modern fashion, but it will also give a developing momentum in the Korean movie dress.

국내 각 지방자치단체의 커뮤니티아이덴티티 (community identity) 프로그램은 지역 활성화를 중요한 목적으로 한다. 커뮤니티아이덴티티는 타 지자체들과 차별화 된 이미지를 확립하고 동시에 지역주민의 애향심과 소속감을 높일 수 있는 매우 효과적인 방법 중 하나이다. 커뮤니티아이덴티티 외에도 지방자치단체의 아이덴티티를 형성하는 요소로서 꽃, 새, 동물 등의 각 지자체 상징물이나 그 지역과 연고가 있는 인물, 전통, 특산물 등을 시각화한 캐릭터가 있다. 최근에는 시티브랜드와 같은 마케팅지향의 브랜드 계획, 지역이벤트 등 다양한 프로그램들을 도입하고 있다. 본 연구는 현재 도입된 국내 지방자치단체 커뮤니티아이덴티티의 시각요소 중 심벌마크, 로고타입, 색상 등의 가장 기본적인 요소와 각 지자체의 상징물, 캐릭터의 시각요소 현황을 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과 각 지방자치단체의 커뮤니티아이덴티티 및 기타 디자인요소들의 차별성이 부족하고 여러 시각 요소들 간의 일관성도 결여된 것으로 나타났다. 지방자치단체의 차별화 된 이미지 형성을 위해서는 지역이 갖고 있는 보다 특색 있고 다양한 소재 개발과 커뮤니티아이덴티티를 중심으로 여러 시각요소들의 일관성과 상호작용을 통한 시너지효과를 유도해야 할 것이다.
