This research is to analyze costumes of Greek Mythology Gods in films using Morris' semiotics. In film "Clash of The Titans", Zeus' costume of shining gold armored body suit and long manteaux expressed the limitless sublime. The definite form contouring body shape of his costume also demonstrated classical beauty. Hades' costume of dark colored armor, long manteaux, and transformation via smoke also described the limitless sublime. The unbalanced and irregular shaped armor showed ugliness. In "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief", the armor and long manteaux of Zeus showed the limitless sublime. The beauty of his body and his sophisticated business wear indicated classical beauty. These features were also present in Poseidon's costume as well. The limitless sublime and ugliness are implied in Hades' look by portraying him as having a monster body with horns and wings, and his costume of punk look. In "Immortals", gods of Olympus wore clothing that was reminiscent of Egyptian times, which represented a time of strong royal authority, in order to expose the limitless sublime. Classical beauty was shown in the beauty of their body. Titans' costumes and look of non-human being were composed of black and red to present ugliness. The inherent meanings of Gods' costumes are death of god, patriarchy, and the good triumphing over the evil. The Greek gods are not held in the same reverence in the contemporary society. However mythology inspires lots of visual creations. The results help to accumulate a creative design database for fashion.

In postmodernism, the sublime that reaches ecstasy overcoming terror or pain is described as the most expressive phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to understand the sublime expressed in contemporary fashion. for this purpose, 1 investigated the theories of the sublime, categorized the definition and modes, then applied those categories for contemporary fashion. Documentary studies were conducted through aesthetic, design and fashion books and the demonstrative studies were processed by analyzing photos from fashion magazines. In the history of aesthetics, the sublime is explained as the ambivalent feeling mixed with pain and pleasure, terror and delight or negation and affirmation. In this study, the sublime could be defined as the aesthetic pleasure through the transcendence of the pain and terror and classified into 3 categories, the tragic, the initiative, and the deconstructive. The tragic sublime that includes the terrific, the disgusting and the religious character is expressed through the image of death or the physical torture, the satanic image or disgusting object and the ascetic image and religious sign or icons. The limitless sublime that includes the giant and the dynamic character is accomplished by consist of the elongation or the enlargement and the powerful authority. The deconsturctive sublime that includes the negative, the indeterminate and the complex character is associated with the deconstruction in style, the reversal of image and the destruction of the space of the body. Analysis on the sublime expressed in contemporary fashion may provide an excellent way for understanding human aesthetic consciousness in dress.

이 연구는 서부 영화에서 황야를 재현하는 방식과 그 과정에서 발견되는 미학적 특성을 해석한다. 서부 영화는 자연 경관을 본격적으로 다룬 최초의 영화 장르로서, 시각 재현 매체가 자연 경관을 재현하는 방식의 원형을 보여준다. 서부 영화는 먼저 동부의 황야를 배경으로 제작되다가 이후에 서부의 황야를 포착하였고, 경관의 물리적 특징에 적합한 재현 방식을 통해 독특한 미적 특질을 조직하였다. 서부 영화에서 황야는 카메라에서 먼 거리에 위치하여 시각적 관조의 대상으로 재현되었다. 동부의 숲 경관의 재현은 허드슨 강 화파의 회화 양식의 영향을 받았고, 초월적 숭고의 미학을 구현하였다. 서부의 반건조지대의 재현에서는 높은 지대에서 아래를 내려다보는 하향적 시선이 등장하였고, 이때의 황야는 버크가 정의한 숭고의 특질을 보여준다. 서부의 사막은 한편으로 지면 높이에서 포착되어 지평선이 부재하고 무한함이 강조됨으로써 불모지로서의 황야를 표상하였다. 다른 한편으로 모뉴먼트 밸리는 장엄한 규모와 오랜 시간성의 측면에서 숭고함의 범주에 포섭되고, 광활한 사막에 지평선과 함께 시각적 상징물로서 재현되었다. 서부 영화의 황야 재현 방식에서는 안전한 거리를 두고 경관을 관찰하려는 인간의 생물학적 욕구인 조망과 은신의 관계가 발견되고, 이러한 점에서 서부 영화는 자연 경관의 구성 방식에 관한 원형을 보여준다고 할 수 있다.
