Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the direction of communication design through in-depth interviews on the topic of gender equality, which is an active theme of social issue happening worldwide, and to suggest a direction to provide better social issue communication direction. In order to do so, firstly, I researched case studies and investigated the characteristics of gender magazines such as If, Ferm and Womankind. Secondly, I conducted an empirical study of in-depth interviews to identify the emotional adjectives by women and men by different age groups from gender equality storytelling magazine experience. As a result, I was able to grasp two points necessary. First of all, for the gender equality content messages closely related to everyday stories level down the barrier and become easier to empathize with. Second of all, the more complex the social issues are, the more sustainable and credible if the content developed steadily and contingently. This study is meaningful in that it suggested a series of directions for communicating gender equality issues. Future research should complement the suggested directions for gender equality communication design and contribute to guiding further directions.

본 연구는 국내외 활발히 펼쳐지는 사회적 이슈 중에서 성평등 주제의 스토리텔링을 심층면담 기법을 통해 커뮤니케이션 디자인 방향에 관해 연구하고, 더 나은 소셜 이슈 소통 방향성을 제안하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 연구 방법으로 1차 사례 연구를 통하여 국내의 성평등 주제 매거진 이프, ?, 우먼카인드 매거진의 특징과 스토리텔링 매거진 예시를 조사하였다. 그리고 2차 실증 연구로 심층면담을 진행하여 성평등 스토리텔링 경험에 대한 연령대별 여성과 남성 대상자의 감정 형용사와 이슈 인지도를 파악하였다. 그 결과, 소셜 이슈 소통 방향에 필요한 두 가지 요점을 파악할 수 있었다. 첫째, 전달하는 콘텐츠의 주제가 민감한 이슈일수록 일상과 밀접한 서사를 소구하여 진입장벽을 낮출 것을 제안한다. 둘째, 사회적 이슈가 지속가능하려면 점진적으로 메시지를 전달하여 신뢰도와 공감도를 높이는 방향을 채택한다. 이 연구는 불통을 해소하는 커뮤니케이션 디자인 조사를 통해 국내 성평등 이슈 콘텐츠 전달 방향을 제시했다는 점에 의의가 있다. 추후 연구를 통해 국내 성평등 주제 소통 방식을 보완하고, 사회적 이슈 커뮤니케이션 디자인 방향 설정에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
