“…궁전 내에서는 누구든 모두 "공적인 몸"으로 서 다른 사람들의 눈에 어떻게 보일지에 관심을 두 었으며, 루이 14세는 물론 왕후와 귀족들이 스스로 이 러한 사치 산업의 대소비자가 되어 화려한 의상과 가 발 등 화장품을 이용해 대단한 멋을 부렸다 (Yamada, 2007) (Steel, 1988, p. 21 (Finamore, 2003). …”

1)Having set a trend for luxury fashion brand markets since the 17 th century, France has established the norms and the forms of the fashion business. In addition, it has maintained its status as a leading fashion power by discovering economic value from the intangible value of design and brand, and developing fashion into a high value-added industry. This paper aims to examine the socio-cultural factors that have exerted a positive influence on the formation of "fashion power" in France from a historical perspective. It will focus on four major external historical factors that made France the top fashion power: 1) insights and innovation of French leaders as well as their constant concerns and efforts for the promotion of fashion, 2) a tradition of experimental cultures and arts, 3) open and the public-centered social environment and an atmosphere of cherishing the values of creation, and 4) the establishment of a legitimate system that protects them.Key words: fashion power(패션 파워), French and industrial revolution(프랑스 이중혁명), French mercantilism(프랑스 중상주의), intellectual property(지식재산), luxury goods industry(사치재산업), socio-cultural factor(사회ㆍ문화적 요인), the spirit of the times(시대정신).

The Modern Girl and Racial Respectability in 1930s South Africa

This essay rethinks the gender history and historiography of interwar sub-Saharan Africa by deploying the heuristic device of the ‘modern girl’ to consider how global circuits of representation and commerce informed this period of gender tumult. This device has been developed by a research group at the University of Washington to understand the global emergence during the 1920s and 1930s of female figures identified by their cosmopolitan look, their explicit eroticism and their use of specific commodities. Previous scholarship has suggested that a black modern girl imbricated in international circuits of images, ideologies and commodities only became visible in southern Africa in the post-Second World War period. Yet, analysis of the black newspaper Bantu World reveals the emergence of such a figure by the early 1930s. The modern girl heuristic helps to situate race as a key category of analysis in scholarship on women and gender in interwar Africa as contemporaries consistently debated her in racial terms. In South Africa, some social observers saw African young women’s school education, professional careers and cosmopolitan look as contributing to ‘racial uplift’. Others accused the African modern girl of ‘prostituting’ her sex and race by imitating white, coloured or Indian women, and by delaying or avoiding marriage, dressing provocatively and engaging in premarital and inter-racial sex. Cosmetics use was one of the most contentious issues surrounding the black modern girl because it drew attention to the phenotypic dimensions of racial distinctions. By analysing a beauty contest in Bantu World together with articles and letters on, and advertisements for, cosmetics, this essay demonstrates how, in white-dominated segregationist South Africa, the modern girl emerged through and posed challenges to categories of race and respectability.
