Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the Tecktonik culture and fashion, and to compare its features in Korea and France. Unlike prior studies which mainly dealt with subcultures in the U. S. and the U. K., this study paid attention to the condition of Korea. Tecktonik is a dance and music craze that originated in France in 2000, and spread worldwide via the Internet. The main features of Tecktonik fashion are slim fit, vivid colors, and high-top sneakers, which represent current fashion and culture trends, and express the feeling of Tecktonik music and dance. Compared to France, Korean Tecktonik fashion emphasizes sexual attraction of women with short skirt, while men are conservative about mohican hairstyle and dark make-up. In France, Tecktonik has become a sound social amusement, while in Korea it has been used for advertisements or entertainer's fashion style. The subcultural characteristics of Tecktonik were identified as playfulness, the active use of digital media, and high commercial value. In France where Tecktonik is for participating in a joyful dance, playfulness is prominent, and in Korea where Tecktonik acts as a visual entertainment, commercial value is outstanding. It has made differences in Tecktonik fashion of the two countries.

본 연구의 목적은 테크토닉 문화 및 패션의 특징을 파악하고, 한국과 프랑스에서 테크토닉 문화와 패션이 갖는 특수성을 밝히는 것이다. 특히 그 동안 주로 연구되었던 영 미권이 아닌 한국에서 하위문화가 어떻게 확산, 향유되는지에 주목하였다. 테크토닉은 2000년 프랑스 파리의 한 클럽에서 등장한 댄스 장르이자 음악 장르로, 인터넷을 통해 전 세계적으로 전파되었다. 테크토닉 패션은 슬림한 라인, 강렬한 색상, 하이탑 스니커즈를 특징으로 하는데, 이러한 패션 스타일은 동시대 패션의 흐름과 맞물리면서 테크토닉 댄스와 음악의 성격을 표현한다. 프랑스와 비교하여, 한국 테크토닉 패션 스타일은 남성의 경우 진한 메이크업과 모히칸 헤어를 잘 시도하지 않으며, 여성은 짧은 치마로 섹시함을 강조하는 경향이 있다. 테크토닉의 발생지인 프랑스에서는 테크토닉이 긍정적인 사회적 놀이문화로서 자리매김했으나, 한국의 테크토닉은 그 이미지만이 차용되어서 연예인의 패션 스타일이나 광고 수단으로 상품화되었다. 하위문화로서 테크토닉은 놀이성, 상품성, 디지털 통신매체의 적극적인 이용이라는 특수한 성격을 가진다. 테크토닉을 즐거운 댄스에 참여하는 것으로 여기는 프랑스에서는 놀이성이 두드러지고, 테크토닉을 시각적인 흥미요소로 여기는 한국에서는 상품성이 두드러진다. 이러한 성격의 차이가 두 나라의 테크토닉 패션에 차이를 가져왔다.
