수영지신밟기의 연행적 특징과 명인들

Abstract

This study is a discussion to investigate the performative characteristics of “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” and the artistic activities of masters. In the Suyeong Area, since “Excursion in Suyeong (Suyeong Yaryu)” was covered with the crops and money obtained from ‘Jisinbapgi’ Jisinbapgi was considered part of “Suyeong Yaryu.” For this reason, “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” became independent from “Excursion in Suyeong” relatively late. And yet, “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” was a preceding process to perform Excursion and at the same time, a separate ritual for times and seasons to wish the village and family peace and luck. Since today, “Jisinbapgi” is often settled as a performing culture unlike in the traditional society, it gradually loses its original form, emphasizing various interesting elements. However, “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” relatively strongly maintains the basic property of Ritual for the God of the Earth, which is a play and at the same time a ritual. Since “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” has relatively recently become independent from Excursion, there have been no independent studies. This study examined the characteristics of “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” differentiated from other Jisinbapgi through the existing literature, recordings, video materials, and surveys on oral statements, though they were limited data. This study also investigated the world of art of masters who played the central role in the process in which “Suyeong Jisinbapgi” has been handed down and designated as a cultural asset.
