화순군 <내평리 길쌈놀이>의 공공문화 자원화 과정

Abstract

In this article, I looked at the process of recreating and reconstructing performance reminiscent of the past lifestyle of a field song and a Gilssam ― the Korean traditional weaving ― song, which was a song of life in traditional society. I looked at who was involved in the excavation and reproduction, how it is now being carried out and why it is reconstructed, and how it affects the village or the area. I clarified the process of making public cultural resource of traditional folk songs and searched for a sustainable way of transmission. It was in the early 1960s that Gilssam disappeared in the Naepyeongli. Twenty years later, in 1983, 11 Korean folk songs related to Gilssam were recorded in 『Series of Korean oral literature』 In 1990, it participated in the Namdo Cultural Festival so the spinning wheel song and loom song was performed and Gilssam work was reconstructed. It was reproduced again in the 2008 Hwasun Cultural Culture Festival and theater elements were added. In the 2013 Jeonnam Folk Arts Festival and the 2016 Korean Folk Arts Festival, the process of farming cotton as well as Gilssam culture was included in the Gilssam play. Gilssam play in Naepyeongli is not a folklore realized in the field, but a folklore that actualize traditional oral knowledge. It is a folklore created by combining various disparate elements. However, it is difficult to see it as faked folklore, and it cannot be neglected even if it is a folklore that has been de-contextualized in the field. It is because the desire of the people who know the preciousness of the old tradition and find the value in it is accepted by the folk. A number of experts participate in the folk and the residents make it be accord with them. The villagers are not only enjoying it together, but also seeking ways to share it with the modern people. It is undergoing a process to be transformed into cultural resource of the village and public cultural resource of the community by sharing with other villages.
