루이 14세와 효명세자의 무용예술과 업적 비교연구

Abstract

This study has compared the dancing art and achievement of Prince Hyo-myoung and those of Louis XIV. This study could be performed on the assumption that there were many similarities between their political background and the achievement of dancing art. Both Louis XIV and Prince Hyo-myoung had their political purpose of strengthening the power of king in the socially chaotic period. Both of them made use of the dancing as a tool for strengthening the power of king; as a result, French court ballet and Chosun's court dance have been developed tremendously. Their dancing art has been used not only as a political tool, but also as a fundamental system for the dancing itself so that the dancing has become an art genre with fantastically aesthetic aspects. The comparison between the two aforementioned persons can be made briefly as in the following: first, the dancing art had political implication. Second, both of them have contributed to the development of dancing art. Lastly, they designated talented people such as Lully and Kim Changha. However, even if Hyo-myoung had the aforementioned political background and fantastic achievement in dancing art similar to Louis XIV, he has not been evaluated properly. In the rapid age of globalization, we will be aware of our culture that can be equivalent to western counterpart and develop it. In this regard, I hope that my comparative study on dancing art between Louis XIV and Prince Hyo-myoung gives us an opportunity to be familar with our culture and to have confidence.
