무형문화재 ‘전통무용’의 개념과 범주에 대한 재고찰

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide base for the new designation of intangible cultural properties in the field of dance by establishing the concept and category of traditional dance. In order to achieve this purpose, we approached it from two aspects. First, the changes in the Korean Cultural Heritage Protection Act and the UNESCO Convention for Safeguiding of Intangible Cultural Heritage were examined, and through this, the concept of traditional Korean dance was established as follows. Korean traditional dance is a dance created and recreated in a national and cultural community called Korea (ROK), and can be said to be a Korean national dance. In particular, the traditional dance as intangible cultural properties is the dance that has been passed down in a historical lineage from the Joseon Dynasty to the present, and has excellent form and style, which means the dance that is highly likely to be used artistic, academic, and popularly. Second, the category of traditional dance as an intangible heritage was considered by collecting and analyzing the opinions of dance experts using facilitation (collection and synthesis of opinions through group participation discussion), in-depth interviews, and FGI (Focused Group Interview). The results are as follows: (1) Numerical mitigation is needed, such as adjusting the recognition of the transmission period of traditional dance from 100 years to 70 years. (2) Various creative dances based on traditional dances, such as new dances (Sinmuyong), Korean creative dances (Hanguk changjakchum), and new traditional dances (Sin-jeontongchum) that have occurred since modern times, could be considered as traditional dances. In conclusion, the new designation of intangible cultural properties in the dance field requires a proper understanding of the Cultural Heritage Protection Act, and the dance community's agreement on the concept and category of traditional dance, which is the criteria for selecting intangible cultural properties.
