신재효의 사설 개작과 가사 창작의 의미

Abstract

Jaehyo Shin is one of the most important figure in pansori history. There have been many various studies about his life and achievement. These studies generally point out that his adaptation of pansori was based on rationalism and the pursuit of rationalism was based on his intelligence. Through his work, pansori became a national performance. First, this study examines the aim of his adapted pansori based on earlier studies. The result is that all of his adapted six pansori works are coincide with the nature of pansori since they depict the process of satisfaction of people in need. Next, it is assumed that his Kasa were made in various different ways, such as reorganizing former works, adding some parts, and creating in his own way. Especially, it is noteworthy that he tried to block poetic images, which pansori pursues, in his way of reorganizing or adding former works. Instead, he tried to seek the spread of shamanistic atmosphere by repetition. It can be also seen in pop music of these days, therefore it clearly shows that Jaehyo Shin explored various ways of language expression and tried to adapt them in his work.
