<가믄장아기>를 통해 본 한국 무속신화의 세계적 소통 가능성 고찰

Abstract

This study remarked that the play <Gamoonjang> which is based on Jeju shamanic myths has continuously been played for 10 years in 12 countries. Looking the phenomenon, universality of woman heroic narrative structure and particularity of Korean culture held the public's interest. Also, this study shows how inner states of the work are changed depending on transformation of shamanic myths. First, unlike of <Samgong-Bonpuri>, the ending of <Gamoonjang> is that the third daughter and Matung-yi have a bumper harvest from a crop of rice in a difficult circumstance. In the process, blindness ․ reunion ․ eyesight recovery, finding gold, and the mean of Sungumut(Linea nigra) are lost. In addition, as conflict with Gamoonjang, parents, sisters, and Matung-yi's brothers is added and extended, more specific scenes are embodied. As blindness ․ reunion ․ eyesight recovery is eliminated, the narrative side couldn't reach recovery and healing of relationship. Futhermore, because 'Finding gold' is changed into 'Golden field(Rice farming)', existence of <Gamoonjang> is confined just as humanity giving thanks for the harvest. Finally, replacing Sungumut with uterus set limits to 'Body' as a characteristic of productivity of women, it could diminish universality of myths' thematic meaning, which people of all ages can feel empathy. If <Samgong-Bonpuri> is remade on the focus of mythic peculiarity, it needs to reinforce towards being able to satisfy and enhance the focus. Through this study, it could be found that intention point and improvement point required Korean myths' utilization and communication.
