영화에 나타난 대한제국기 신여성 의상 이미지 - 〈가비〉, 〈YMCA 야구단〉, 〈그림자 살인〉을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study analyzes the visual image and the symbolic image of the 'New Woman' main female characters' costumes in three films: <Gabi>, <YMCA Baseball Team>, and <Private Eye (Geurimja Sarin)>, set in the Korean Empire Period and filmed in the last 10 years. The findings are as follows. First, on the visual image by formative characteristics, Gibson girl style was reflected in Western costume design. Korean costume design is based on a traditional style (or modified in some parts). Second, the three films have the same historical background on the visual image by the fidelity of historical research; however, the fidelity of historical research differs and varies with the personality of characters or situations in the films. Third, all three films share the symbolic image by characteristics of characters and 'New Woman' aspect with the same historical background and 'New Woman' female character in common; however, the personality and 'New Woman' aspect of the characters were somewhat different. There was also a distinct difference in the symbolic image of Western and Korean costumes. Western and Korean costumes signify externality versus internality and denial versus the affirmation of national identity in <Gabi>; dailiness versus ceremonialness and dynamics versus statics in <YMCA Baseball Team>; and independence versus conformity and variability versus continuity in <Private Eye (Geurimja Sarin)>.
