이 연구는 대상관계 이론과 미메시스 사유에 근거해 코스프레 온라인 카페 회원들을 연구 참여자로 선정하여 연구를 진행하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 코스프레 행위가 어떻게 대상관계를 형성하고 정서체험을 매개하는지 살펴봄으로써 코스프레 놀이의 의미들을 탐색하고, 미디어 교육적 의미를 밝히는데 있다. 이를 위해 연구참여자들이 코스프레를 실시하며 어떠한 대상을 재현했는지 살펴보고, 코스프레 놀이를 통해 극복하고자 하는 그들의 상실감이 무엇인지, 나아가 이러한 놀이를 통해 어떠한 정서를 체험했고 그 의미는 무엇인지를 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과, 우선, 코스프레 행위자들은 미메시스 행위로서 코스프레 대상을 통해 자신의 내면 정서를 드러내고 있었다. 둘째, 연구참여자들은 코스프레를 통하여 상실한 대상을 회복하는 노력을 했으며 코스프레를 통해 과거의 경험과 현재의 일상에서 경험하는 상실들을 드러내고 회복하고자 했다.
마지막으로 연구참여자들은 코스프레 놀이를 통해 부정적 정서에서 긍정적 정서로 변화하고 있었음을 알 수 있었다.
This study was conducted targeting cosplay online cafes members as the research participants based on the object relations theory and mimesis. The objectives of the study are to find out how the cosplay actions form the object relations, emotional experience to check out the meaning of the cosplay and to discover media educational meaning. For the objectives, the study would focus on what objects the participants tried to reconstruct through the cosplay, what kind of sense of loss they want to overcome through the cosplay, what kind of emotion they tried to experience thorough these plays and finally what this play means. The results of analysis show that the participants do not just try to reconstruct any object but also try to expose their internal emotion through the cosplay objects using the mimesis behaviors.
