다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to analyze the costume in 「The Goddess Abides」 of Pearl S. Buck by applying Dramaturgical Analysis of Erving Goffman. The frame of analysis is the dramaturgical conception of Goffman that he expressed in 「The Presentation of self in Everyday Life(1959)」. Among the conception, I analyzed by applying `performance`, `technique of impression management`, `region and region behavior` which can be used for studying and costume behavior. The following is the summary of my study. First, the performance means the performer`s behavior and the procedure of impression management in face to face interaction, which includes personal front and setting. Setting is mainly as house on the Mt. in Vermont. The time is Winter. The personal front includes appearance and manner. Actors and audiences form impression through personal front. And I studied the performance of the actors (or actress), Edith, Jared, Edmond, Edwin, Amelia, June. As for technique of impression management, I could observe that a varieth of that were being used, such as the most general one that Edith wants to look beautiful by making good appearance, or she sometimes try not to look beautiful. And when Edith meets Jared, sometimes she changes her clothes, but other times she doesn`t do that. As for region and region behavior, there appears the distinction of region and a lot of expressions about clothes related to the distinction. I could observe the expressions showing the movement from front to back and from back to front. Especially I could observe the behaviors that can be occured only in back region in everyday life, that is bathing, changing clothes, making up, checking their appearance before the mirror. Like above when I analyzed 「The Goddess Abides」 of Pearl S. Buck by Goffman`s Dramaturgical analysis, I could find out that the theory was very useful to the analysis of the costume behaviors of the characters.
