Both past and present of attitude consciousness about tattoo understand it dynamic and severe. However, it is considered as a feminine these days, whereas it had been understood as a masculine image in the past, which means a decrease of symbolism by gender. Also, in comparison with the past, the current thoughts on tattoo are getting hopeful and affirmative that we could know the attitude about tattoo changes. A survey of 106 tattooists shows that most people get a temporary tattoo, and permanent, semi-permanent tattoo came next. The most preferred area were eyebrows, are, shoulder, forearm, back of hand and waist, and a main reason of getting tattoo were for beauty and ostentation. For the level of satisfaction, 70.7% of the people polled said they were satisfied with it, and male preferred a pattern of animal, geometric and plant while female preferred a pattern of plant, animal, and geometric in order. So far, by the lack of basic information and data, efficiency value of tattoo is in negative view. Thus, it would be required to enhance a level of understanding tattoo focusing on the positive side like a new life style, sense of value, sensation and emotion of contemporary people, and generalize it by providing various technical information and knowledge of beauty image effect accompanied with tattoo.

The case of the Thilawa Special Economic Zones (SEZ) is exemplary, as it was a Japan-led project which became a model and benchmark example for similar development initiatives supported by the People's Republic of China.

Accordingly, fashion trend is developed into bright, light, romantic style and fashion designers chose materials with flowers, butterflies, dragonflies pattern.

  • 최만린 작가의 <이브 58-1>은 석고 입상으로 광복 이후 추상미술 조각 조형이념이 반영된 '이브' 시리즈의 초기 작업 시기에 제작되었다. 근·현대 조각품은 다양한 재료로 제작되기 때문에 재료의 선택과 표현기법이 작가의 의도와 시대성을 반영한다. 따라서 초기작품인 <이브 58-1>에 사용된 재료와 제작기법은 작가의 작품활동 연대기에 중요한 기초자료이다. 본 연구에서는 과학적 분석을 통해 제작기법을 확인하고 여러 의사결정권자의 협의를 통해 보존처리 범위를 설정하고자 하였다. 먼저, X-CT 내부구조 확인 후 재질분석을 실시하여 작품의 형상학적 특징과 재료 및 제작기법을 확인하였다. 분석결과 상대적으로 안정한 상태로 판단되어 소장 기관, 작가 조수, 작가 생전 인터뷰 등의 의견을 종합하여 최소한의 보존처리를 실시하였다.

  • 가치관이란 개인이 자신 및 타인, 사회와 세계, 자연과 우주와 끊임없이 교섭하면서 갖게 되는 태도나 관점을 말한다. 여기에는 주로 어떤 것이 옳은 것이고 바람직한 것이며, 어떤 것을 하거나 하지 말아야 할지에 관한 생각들이 포함된다. 본 논문에서는 조선시대를 주요 시간적인 배경으로 삼아 한국인들이 어떤 부분에 큰 가치를 부여하며 살아왔고, 전통적 가치관이 시대적 환경에 따라 어떤 변용을 거쳤는지를 분석해 보고자 한다. 아울러 이를 근거로 현대 사회에서 계승하고 발현시켜야 할 가치 및 의미를 발견하는 데 도움을 주고자 한다. 일제 강점기를 거치며 수많은 전통가치나 윤리는 왜곡되거나 파괴되어 기존의 사회문화와 전통문화 전체가 부정되는 경향이 나타났다. 그 결과로 드러난 가장 큰 문제는 자의건 타의건 간에 수백 년간 공동체를 이끌어주던 공통의 가치가 사라지게 되었다는 점이다. 공통 가치의 상실은 공동체의 분해와 상실을 초래하게 되었고, 그 결과 우리 민족은 각종 '분열'에 시달리며 개인의 영달과 입신양명, 생존에만 매달려 왔다. 역사 문화적 단절과 그로 인한 정신적 공동화(空洞化) 현상을 겪은 우리에게 남겨진 것은 왜곡되거나 변용된 가치와 그것의 본뜻을 모른 채 그릇된 가치를 최선으로 여기고 그것을 향해 질주하는 경향이다. 전통적 가치가 가지고 있는 본래적 의미는 시대를 떠나 보편적인 의미를 던져주는 것이며, 목표를 잃고 방황하는 현대인들에게 삶의 이정표 역할을 할 수 있다. 현대 한국인의 가치를 새롭게 정립하고 추구함에 있어 역사를 반추해 우리 고유의 이상적인 가치의 의미를 자각하고 인식할 수 있다면 동양이냐 서양이냐, 전통이냐 근대냐 등의 해묵은 논의를 넘어서 의미 있는 성과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

  • This paper explores some of the ways in which social games - games played with others through social network sites such as Facebook - are situated within the everyday. It argues that social games are more than just games; they perform a range of interactive and integrative functions across and within people's lives and therefore need to be investigated as such. Social games en-able spaces for and practices of creative expression, and identity management. They also form a mechanism through which relations can be enacted and maintained across and outside of the game environment. This argument requires the researcher to consider the panoply of ways in which people integrate social games within their lives and everyday practices. Part of a larger project, this paper explores some findings from an exploratory survey of Australian game play-ers about their management and integration of game play within the everyday with a particular focus on gender.

  • As China's economic development brings the country out of poverty and into modernity, a long-lasting debate concerns whether the Chinese public's value system is also changing toward the so-called "modern values," or whether some distinctly traditional Chinese values remain unchanged. Using empirical data collected at three points in time during the 1990s and the first two decades of the 21st Century (1993, 2002, and 2011), I found that Chinese citizens who benefitted from urbanization, rising levels of education and employment in non-farm, knowledge-based industries displayed stronger modern values. People with stronger modern values are more likely to emphasize individual autonomy, competition, gender equality, and market transaction, among others. Some characteristics of the Chinese people, most importantly family values, however, seem to remain stable amidst rapid social changes.
