동해안 무녀의 무관 학습: 세대적 차이를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify patterns of Mugwan’s performance, analyzing the various types of Mugwan in Donghaeangut, and to analyze how Mugwan’s learning has been transmitted and changed. Because of the geographical and environmental factors in the east coast of south Korea, religious belief in Mother Nature is deep. Therefore, the hereditary shamans that live in the area around the East Coast of south Korea have performed various Gut(a shaman ritual) such as Byeolsingut, Pungeoje, Ogugut, Sanogugut, and Dosingut, Jaesugut, Gwangingut, Gaekgumulligi, and so on. However, currently, only Byeolsingut and Ogugut are handed down. Donghaeangut is the root and treasure of Korean traditional music and is composed of songs and dances harmoniously; as a result, in recognition of its outstanding artistry, Donghaean Byeolsingut, Gangneung Danoje, Yeongdeokbyeolsingut and Busan Gijang Ogugut were designated as national important intangible cultural assets and provincial intangible cultural assets. In previous researches, researches related to the various elements that consist of the Donghaeangut, such as shaman’s song, shaman’s dance, shaman’s play, paper flowers, decorations of shaman’s ritual and so on are abundant; but researches about Mugwan is thin. Therefore, this paper will analyze Mugwan which is each performed in Byeolsingut and Ogu-gut and commonly performed in both Gut. In addition, the hereditary shamans were actively handed down from generation to generation through marriage, but new shamans, who studies shaman’s music and song in the university, are active in Donghaeangut; according to such change, how the learning Mugwan has been changed might be analyzed. Traditionally, shamans learned Mugwan in everyday life; however, new shamans who learn systematically traditional music are learning Mugwan step by step through individual lessons, group lessons, or art-related school majors and etc. In the midst of these changes, new shamans are continuously recording and documenting the process of whole learning including Mugwan. Based on these efforts, the outstanding artistry of hereditary shamans, which is handed down from generation to generation, will be able to be passed on to the next generation.
