  • The main focus of this study is to understand realities of postmodern consumer culture by deconstructing fashion advertisements, Calvin Klein's ck One and cK be. The metaphysics of critical theory, visual and textual analysis are used to deconstructing the ads applying one of the postmodern cultural critics, Baudrillard' s notion of hyperreality. Through deconstructing the ads five postmodern characteristics representing hyperreality were found. First, there is no message regarding functional characteristics of the product offered in the ad, which is far from the modernist's utilitarian Point of view. Hyperreality in Postmodern consumer culture is consumption centered and focuses on the product's symbolic meanings. Second, especially for cK be, the ad uses atypicai, irrelevant models and images, which are introduced as a concept of ‘real people’ rather than the ideal person or body type. Third, there are transformations of the meanings from cK one to cK be such as the notions of globalization and gender which clearly represent ongoing reality in the Postmodern culture. Fourth, there are hidden meaning of hedonism and relativism, which are prevalent in postmodern ideology. Finally, models' bodies are used to convey messages as well as form the ground and figure in the ad that is a significant characteristic of postmodern consumer culture. In conclusion, the study of Calvin Klein's fashion ads supports the notion that advertising mirrors reality in postmodern consumer culture, which is hyperreality.

  • In this paper, we developed a novel hyperreality display called the Head Dome Projector (HDP). The HDP is a head-mounted display consisting of a dome-shaped screen with a very small radius of 40 cm, a mobile projector with ultra-wide projection lens and LED light sources. The main feature of the HDP is very wide viewing angle of 160 degrees horizontally by 120 degrees vertically comparable to the human visual field of view without head tracking and 360 degrees by 360 degrees with head tracking. According to our subjective evaluation comparing the HDP with a flat-panel display (FPD), the HDP realizes hyperreality 2.5 points higher than that realized by an FPD in the case of ${\pm}5$ level evaluation for HD motion images.

  • It will be very effective in studying fashion images that reflect society to investigate the process of the images of military uniforms becoming fashion with the images as the original or image changes in the military look in relation to The hyperreal of the Simulation phenomenon. The foundation of the study was set up by studying simulation and simulacra. Studying the simulation phenomenon in fashion was followed by explaining the aspects of simulacra and the hyperreal in image changes in fashion to study and analyze the simulation phenomenon of the military look based on the findings. The study examined the military look from the Industrial Age to modern times through simulation and the hyperreal in the military look of modern fashion through the changes of images that started with military uniforms. Those research efforts led to the following conclusions: Looking into fashion through the military look reveals that The hyperreal made its appearance in most cases with few cases of the 1st and 2nd simulacrum. And hyperreality was closely related to media in fashion under the influence of media. In short, fashion and copy are in an inseparable relation, and the hyperreality phenomenon has always been present in modern fashion.

  • The postmodern culture since the later 20C breaks downa tradition a relation between the reality and languages or sign images expressing it. It develops in the way to review the meaning on the object's imitation or the representation to have been followed since Plato and represent the new state and concept of expressed things. Also, The visual art leads an change of paradigm by images giving up the visual resemblance or the function of representation and endowing them with the new sense. This essay has a purpose to study an important discussion about this change centered on Baudrillard and Lacan. A sociologist Baudrillard promotes the concept of 'simulation' through detecting the reality and the social and historical state of the image. Studying on the course of this change, he calls the step that the image escapes from the stage to reflect the reality and become the pure imitation by itself simulation. The image in the stage of simulation is called 'hyperreality' because it doesn't have any an indicator or a substitute and happens by models without the original or the reality. So he asserts that art is not to contain some absoluteness or transcendency as the past, but to be as the spectacle with characteristics of meaningless, emptiness, contingency. Lacan dismantles the concept of the absolute Cogito to have become the center of the western ideology, and creates the concept of 'Other'. He concludes also the reality exists but can't be captured, and it's impossible for the thinking subject can reach it. The concept of new image which can be thought as the Symbolic in Lacan is 'Signifier without Signified' since it isn't possible to be the transcendent Signifier fixing the meaning finally in it. His 'Gaze' theory is which to be emitted in other's area determines the subject. Equally Baudrillard and Lacan sets up the new state of the image through the end of representation system As for Baudrillard, art intends to the worthlessness and is nothing but imagination. But in Lacan a picture represents the subject being in process by the dialectic of desire.

  • 본 연구는 3개 특정공동체에 대하여 미디어에서 정책적으로 의제설정(agenda setting)되었던 텍스트담론을 중심으로 의미작용(signification)의 기호학적(semiotics)분석이다. 연구대상의 자료는 잡지와 전문지, 신문 33개 매체에 게재된 칼럼(column), 특별기고, 시사평론 등 71개의 텍스트담론이다. 연구는 부가의미로 볼 수 있는 은유(metaphor)와 환유(metonymy), 그리고 이분적(binary oppositions)사고 전환( transposition)에 보다 관심을 둔다. 이런 함축적 부가의미는 여러 미디어를 통하여 대중 속으로 내파(imploded)되어 현실보다 더 실재적인 과실재성(hyperreality)으로 신화(myth)를 창출한다. 따라서 본 연구는 미디어가 정책적으로 만들어낸 텍스트담론을 기호학적 시각에서 해체와 분석할 수 있는 이론적 논리를 개발하고자 한다. 또한 기호학의 경계점에서 문화흐름이 정치, 사회, 그리고 경제 등 정책에 어떤 영향을 주는가를 연구할 수 있는 범위를 확장하는 데 있다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 대상체(referent) 인 T'PALACE, I'PARK, STARCITY가 지시하는 객관적 외시적의미(denotation)는 기존 타 커뮤니티보다 '규모가 크고', '높은 고층이고', '주로 학력 높은 부자들이나 재벌들', 그리고 '연예인들이나 성공한 CEO들'이 거주한 것으로 알려진 외시적의미를 갖는다. 그리고 공동체의 대상체가 지시하는 주관적인 다의적 함축의미(connoation) '귀족커뮤니티', '초호판극치 공간', '양재천의 꽃', '그들만의 공간' 등 은유적 표현은 '대한민국 부 1번지', '벤치마킹대상', '고급주거형태 견본', '국내최고급아파트', '대한민국강남특별시', '1%의 욕망', 등과 같은 환유적 전환의 함축의미로 신화와 이데올로기를 창조하고 있다. 이런 이데올로기와 신화는 미디어를 통해 대중속으로 내파되어(imploded)어 타 지역에서 동일의 이름을 가진 공동체 커뮤니티로 재생산되어 소비(분양)되고 있다. 또한 경제, 문화가 정책이나 정치적으로 활용되어 '종부세', '부자감세', '1%의 부자감세' 등과 같은 정부규정이나 슬로건을 창조하고 있다.

  • Today, the modern art is extremely diverse. It is denying its own boundary through chaos, extreme, abjection. In fact the diversity of the modern art can be best described as questioning and challenging to the essence of the reality, rather than the artistic pursuit of the beauties. The pursuit of the reality has been a long lasting discourse since the ancient. Through the history, the reality (referent) and representation (image) has been complementing and disposing each other in a relationship of a meaningful construction until the modern times. The limit of modernistic self-reference and the emergence of the figure leads to the emergence of Post-modernism in a trend of experimenting new visual arts. The return to the figure is clearly distinguished from existing representation's system and it brought new meanings to approaches and interpretations of the reality. In the case of Pop arts of 1960's and the following the modern sculptures, which is covered by this thesis, I put an emphasis on the diversification of those via changed strategies on the reality. In a situation where the reality is dictated by signified, the modern arts can no longer stay on a classic concept of representation, rather it pursuits new system and diverse strategies. I provide three types of strategic characters of the reality and the diversification of reality: the transition of the reality. These three types can be used as a frame work, which is supporting new aspects of the modern arts in reflecting on existing system. Therefore, the reason of categorizing is to distinguish modernistic arts and post modernistic arts, and to propose new post-modernistic discourses. Adapting J.F, Lyotard's view, absence is used to trace down the diversification of the reality thorough the sublime on the deconstruction of the mega discourses and the relationship of representation. Based on H. Faster's theory of the appropriation, the appropriation is used to exemplify the strategies of visual arts are in variations and being delayed. Lastly, in the transition, J. Baudrilliard's simulacre is used in terms of the concept of post modernistic representation. Based on the core of his theories, the deconstruction of existing concepts and simulation as the post modernistic representation, and the world of hyperreality based on simulacre are explained. These allows us to deny that representation is the expression of reality through mimesis. My aim is to work on the definition of the arts and representation in the modern era, and go further from there in order to clarify meaning and extension of the modern sculptures. Now two artists are reviewed based on their own art works: George Seagal; Jeff Koons. They are selected among numerous artists from the Post Modern era. Epic contents and emphasis on daily life of Seagal's works show good examples to artists from Pop Arts and following time period and may have served as a start point for Postmodernism. Indeed, he tried to show a newly defined relationship between art works and daily life experience. On the other hand, J.Koons used the strategies of fabrication and appropriation, which shows characteristics of the postmodernism. Through his four individual exhibitions, he shows the diversification of the reality based on art works as fetishistic merchandises, and newly defined concept of Ready-made since M Duchamp. Lastly, the diversification of the reality is analyzed again in context of my art works. I focused on the return to the figure among a variety of trends of late 20 th century modern sculpture. It showed the post modernistic point of view on the reality. Post modernistic diversified strategies are adopted as a method of distinguishing each art works via the diversification of the reality. This is the result of contemporary social and cultural situations.

포스트 코로나 시대의 소비문화에 대한 기독교교육의 성찰 : 드라마 「펜트하우스」를 중심으로 (A Reflection on the Consumer Culture in the Post-COVID 19 Era from the Lens of Christian Education: Learning from the Drama, Penthouse)

  • 이 연구는 기독교교육의 성찰을 위해 보드리야르(J. Baudrillard)의 중요개념인 시뮬라시옹(Simulation)과 시뮬라크르(Simulacra) 등을 중심으로 포스트 코로나 시대의 한 단면을 분석할 수 있는 드라마 「펜트하우스」의 소비이데올로기, 이미지의 욕망 및 폭력 등에 관해 검토할 것이다. 보드리야르는 시뮬라시옹 개념이 대중매체의 발전에서 생겨났다고 보고, 대중매체는 결국 실재를 사라지게 하는 '시뮬라시옹의 출현' 혹은 '시뮬라시옹의 과정'이라고 설명한다. 보드리야르는 시뮬라시옹 과정이 대중매체가 지배하는 소비사회의 다양한 영역에서 진행되고 있다는 것을 지적한다. 시뮬라시옹은 이미지에 의해 실재보다 더 실재적인 초과실재를 산출하는 과정이며, 시뮬라크르는 시뮬라시옹의 결과이다. 포스트 코로나 시대의 기독교교육은 비판이론을 통한 비판적 성찰의 준거 기준이 합의 되지 않았다는 부정적 측면으로 인해 거부하지 말고 비판이론의 긍정적 입장을 고려해야 한다. 다시 말해서 대중매체가 주도하는 지배이데올로기와 소비이데올로기의 속성을 봐야한다. 특히 광고나 드라마 영화에서 보여주는 메시지는 시뮬라크르만 남아 실제보다 더 실제 같은 허상임을 보는 관점을 지녀야 한다. 미디어는 말을 하되 상대방의 응답이 이루어질 수 없게 만드는 미디어의 권력을 의미한다. 그것의 대표적인 예표가 텔레비전이며, 연구자가 드라마 「펜트하우스」를 분석하는 이유이기도 하다. 보드리야르는 맥루한(M. McLuhan)의 "미디어가 메시지다"(The medium is the message)라는 명제는 예상치 못하게 모든 내용물과 메시지가 미디어 속으로 사라져 버린 뒤에, 미디어 자신도 증발해 버린다고 지적한다. 그러나 기독교교육은 "하나님 말씀이 메시지"(The word of God is message)임을 가르치고, 배우고, 나누고, 전수하는 것이다. 또한 그 메시지는 내파되거나 함열되는 것이 아니라 영원한 진리로 계속 살아있는 메시지이다. 위기와 불안의 포스트 코로나 시대의 기독교교육은 사회 현상과 관련하여 대중/소비자/교인 개체들을 무저항적이고 무비판적으로 만드는 소비지상주의의 소비문화에 관해 끊임없는 성찰의 장(場)을 마련하고, 일련의 '전망대'의 역할을 감당해야 할 것이다.
