한국 전통 학춤(鶴舞)의 연구현황 분석

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze current research on traditional Korean hakchum [hakmu]. The researcher searched for the words “hakmu” and “hakchum” on the webpage of the Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS). As of May 26, 2022, 96 valid results were found, including 50 dissertations and 46 academic papers by Korean scholars. The research trend was analyzed by categorizing the retrieved research papers by date of publication. Next, the researcher distinguished between “gungjung hakmu” and “minsok hakchum” and analyzed the contents of each paper. Of the 96 papers, 22 examined gungjung hakmu, 51 minsok hakchum, and 23 both topics. Looking at this literature in terms of content, the majority consists of comparative papers (22), followed by cultural studies (20), research papers on performance demonstration (17), and other studies (11). The analysis shows that there is an established body of work on hakchum. This literature is multifaceted and demonstrates a stable trend. After a doctoral program in dance studies was set up in the 2000s, the number of graduates with master’s and doctoral degrees soared, which increased the quantity and quality of the literature. The cultural perspective began to gain momentum based on the early historical studies. However, there is limited collaboration with scholars that look at dance education, physiology, and psychology. This study’s primary contribution is the comprehensive examination of the existing literature on traditional hakchum as of 2022. Its results will be useful for designing future studies.
