This study aims to analyze the traditional embroidery in Korea, China and Japan based on Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural theory, habitus and field. We conducted literature and case studies examining the late Joseon Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and Edo Period, respectively. Based on previous studies, we reviewed three fields: social systems, goods and economy, and environmental and regional. We also explored art, culture, and national tastes as habitus. We then examined each country’s embroidery practices through these lenses, and the practice of habitus is as follows. We determined that traditional Korean court embroidery in the late Joseon Dynasty was characterized as controlled elegance, while private embroidery reflected earnest simplicity. During the Qing Dynasty, traditional Chinese court embroidery depicted sumptuous power, while private embroidery portrayed harmonious splendor. Finally, traditional Japanese embroidery in the Edo period reflected symbolic natural beauty and exaggerated comic beauty. As a result, Korea, China, and Japan have had a relatively close geographical location and a similar climate environment zone, and since ancient times, many cultures have been exchanged with each other. However, it seems that the characteristics of traditional embroidery have developed slightly differently due to the practice of habitus, which was caused by of the conspiracy of field and habitus of the three countries. The significance of this study is expected to explain the relationship between the birth and extinction of costumes and embroidery by establishing a systematic and objective framework for aesthetics research.

본 연구의 연구목적은 20세기 초 조선인 여자 일본유학생들의 도일실 천을 피에르 부르디외의 '장' 이론에 입각하여 재해석 해보고자 함에 있 다. 피에르 부르디외는 사회를 다양한 사회적 '장'들로 이루어진 유기체 로 해석하였는데, 각각의 장들에서는 행위자들의 행위적 실천이 발생하 고 있고, 행위적 주체들은 여러 사회적 '장'에 동시에 소속되어 있다. 이 러한 시각에서 바라볼 때, 근대 조선의 지식인 사회 역시 여러 '장'들로 분화되어 있었다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 '장'들은 본 연구의 연구대상인 15명의 조선인 여자 일본유학생들의 '도일유학' 행위의 실천 영역으로서, 각 '장'들은 독립적이면서도 서로 상호작용하며 연결되어 있었고, 이들 여자 유학생들은 동시에 이러한 '장'들에 몸담고 있었다. 20세기 초 조선 인 여자 일본유학생들은 도일 실천에 있어서 어떠한 '장'들을 공유하고 있었으며, 이들의 '도일'이라는 행위적 실천 양상은 어떠한 모습을 하고 있었는가. 본 연구에서는 이러한 질문들에 대해 교육사회학적·교육인류학 적인 시각에서 부르디외의 '장' 이론을 적용하여 재해석을 시도하였다.

In this research, we conducted an empirical study using the theory of sociologist Jean Baudrillard to examine the phenomenon of contemporary people in Korea acquiring tattoos. The researcher classified the consumption behavior of modern society, as described by Baudrillard in The Consumer Society, into three keyword phrases: consumption by personal taste, coded consumption, and recyclage of consumption. Using this as the premise of the study, 18 men and women in their 20s and 30s completed questionnaires and interviews, and the results supported labeling tattoo consumption as consumption by personal taste, tattoos as coded consumption, and recyclage of tattoo consumption, similar to the consumption pattern that Baudrillard sees. First, the younger generations have consumed tattoos according to their personal preferences. They express themselves by tattooing for self-complacency, self-marking, pursuing individuality, overcoming the appearance complex, and seeking pleasure. Second, they have consumed socially coded tattoos. They say that tattoos domestically act as negative codes and symbolize individuals. Although tattoos are a symbol of artists who are relatively free from social norms, they are still a symbol of social misfits created as such by negative perceptions. Third, the pattern of tattoo consumption is like that of contemporary consumption. Tattoos already have become part of popular culture in Korea, and there has been a changing trend in tattoo culture. This study has significance in that tattoos were regarded as a consumption behavior that deviated, from the perspective of deviance. That phenomenon of today’s tattoo culture of today was confirmed through the empirical study.

Studies on western art in Korea has been caught in a dilemma that they could deal with only those things which had been arranged according to their ‘historical generalization’ in their contexts because of the bounds of time and space. It is not trivial that such conditions affect art studies in Korea. Access to the original texts and to their contexts of production is so restricted that the studies on them are prone to be superficial. And it is not independent on the politics of Korean art scene. Such factors are on the background of Korean art’s excessive ‘assimilation or accordance’ with western art. The domestic studies on western art history and art theory have failed to notice the differences in context and Korean art has simply mediated or reproduced the restricted information by those studies. Also the studies on western art in Korea have been made use of as a justifying method of one’s own academic domains. In such situations we should lead the studies on western art history and western art theory to a more reflective direction and confirm that the studies should not have any privileges of the realities. And we should try to reform a scholarship which participates in our life and existence. The field of domestic studies on western art history and western art theory should free itself from the invention of objectivity or the neutrality of mechanical reading and turn its eyes to the realities of life where events happens. Constantly suggesting which way Korean art and world art should go has to be the field’s new coordinates.

It is the purpose of this study to document the decline of modal theory in the seventeenth century and the concurrent emergence of major-minor key theory. Emergence of major-minor key theory in the seventeenth century put an end to virtually unbroken tradition of modal theory which had endured for at least two millennia. Glarean and Zarlino are linked directly to the recognition of major-minor key theory in recent literature. In reality, however, there is not a trace major-minor thinking in Glarean's Dodecachordon. For from trying to isolate the new Aeoliean and Ionian modes, Glarean argues that he is only trying to complete an imperfect system of eight modes by correcting a misunderstanding of the nature of mode as octave species. One of the earliest indications of new direction in modal thinking is found in Zarlino's Istitutioni harmoniche. After acknowledging the existence of twelve different modes, Zarlino goes on to state that all of them could ultimately be broken down into two groups: 1) Those with a major triad on the final or mediant. 2) Those with a minor triad on the final or mediant. Zarlino maintains, furthermore, that it is the presence of major or minor triads on these particular scale degrees which determines the affection of music. During the period transition from modal theory to major-minor key theory, roughly coextension with the seventeenth century, elements and characteristics of modes are often found intermingled with key traits. But to say, in effect, that four of six mode pairs fell into disuse leaving only Aeolien and Ionian, and that these two pairs were identical to minor and major, respectively, is to ignore the historical evidence of seventeenth century music treaties. To say that major and minor descended from Ionian and Aeolian is misleading for two reasons: 1) Those who dealt with two modes and treated them as "modes," i. e., subjected them to transition, generally chose Ionian and Dorian. 2) Those who dealt with two modes, one on C and one on A, treated them as keys from the start and ignored their fortuitous to Ionian and Aeolien respectively. In conclusion, it can be seen that Ionian octave-scale pattern becomes the major mode. It is impossible, however, to provide such a tidy picture for the ancestry of the minor mode because no single scale is used exclusively and not all forms of minor scale (i. e., harmonic and melodic minor) correspond to one of the earlier modes. Yet despire the variability of minor mode, theorists are still able to speak of the major-minor mode since what they consider to be the most essential property of their two modes-the third above the tonic consisting of either a ditone or a tone semitone-is present in the single major scale as well as in each of the diverse forms of the minor scale.
