The Differences in the Mentalities between the East and the West Evident in DanceMalborg KimProfessor of DanceEwha Womans UniversityThe underlying assumption of this study is that difference between the East and the West in perspective towards man?s relationship with nature, the world, and art are reflected in dance activity. The comparison is centered around ontological, epistemological, and art theories. Ballet and traditional Korean dance are reviewed as typical dance genres to clarify how different manners of viewing and understanding result in disparities in basic posture, movement, movement perspective, and methodology. Fundamental aspects shared by both dance is the most human expression of man?s view through movement.

Study on the Creation Background and Content of the Consonants and Vowels Combined Notation of Dance in North KoreaGisuk SeongLecturer of DanceSung Kyun Kwan UniversityAlthough the consonants and vowels combined notation of dance in North Korea was created in 1987, its history is effective from early 1970s. The Dance Notation Research Organization was formed by Kim Jong Il?s order then, and the notation was made in 1987 under the Party?s continuous interests and supports. This notation is, first, based on scientificity and commonness. North Korea is proud that it can be learned and notated easily.The consonants and vowels combined notation of dance, as seen in the 'consonants and vowels combined? of the name, is combined with consonants and vowels in linguistics, which was devised in North Korea. It is composed of notation marks, combination of marks, dance score and dance full score. North Korea regards the notation as a representative product that reflects the juch?e art ideology based on ?its unique? socialism. In addition, North Korea is carrying on propaganda that it is a world?s sole dance notation system with scientificity, commonness and originality. It is thought that more interests shall be taken in the consonants and vowels combined notation of North Korea, in the aspect that dance notation is expanded into the fields of dance history, dance literature and choreography beyond its effect as a mark just notating dance movement.

Female and Dancing Shown in AdvertisementsJiwon LeeLecturer of DanceChung-ang University, Seokyung UniversityAdvertisement is communication of advertiser?s intention to the general public by investment of outlays for advertisement for the purpose of increasing in sales of goods, promoting services, and stirring up other effects for which an advertiser desires.It has become a subject of discussion that advertisements unconsciously express female as a being of ego-splitting or a being only emphasized with beauty, or a being of the subject of male. Female in advertisements is pictured under restrictions of appearance, character and existing femininity.Female dancing in advertisements is used as a medium to accentuate those images of female and display their beauty. Common features among quality and expression of motion and movement and female appearance in dancing advertisements were found in this study.In this way, female dancing is interpreted into various meanings, however, most of dancing in advertisements are expressed as a product of female desires and used as a medium to communicate female sexual attractiveness. Females of early twenties as main target in advertisements appear as a factor to maximize esthetic value and become an object of envy at their physical beauty, and show incitement to fresh charm with vividness in their movements.However, despite the voices of caring about the above fact, dancing plays a significant role in the current society and is being recreated in ads close to us. I hope dance advertisements will appear with various aspects, which do define the concept of female beyond the sexual view, and this study will be used as preceding data to be a basis of sociological studies of dancing - even if it is a trifle.
