영무장의 세습무계와 무계 예인들의 활동

Abstract

Youngmujang is the name of region that includes Youngkwang, Gochang (Mujang), and Jangsung. This article focused on the hereditary shamans who have transmitted gut and arts for generations and the activities of such artists. Shaman artists have maintained and expanded artistic tradition based on social network which is connected lengthwise and breadthwise. Especially, Gulgung activity led by shaman artists has become the characteristic transmission foundation for the local nongak. Centering on the cases of two representative artists, their activities have been closely examined. Both domestic and foreign activities are important; however, from the perspective of local art, linked accomplishments tend to stand out. Kim, Hakjun is a famous artist who showed vigorous activity played the central role in the region. He systemized Suljanggu which is counted as one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of modern nongak and transmitted it to the next generation, and contributed to maintaining the fame of Bupsungpo Danoje as an artistic festival. Jeon, Kyunghwan is a person who applied his domestic and foreign experiences into gut music in a creative manner and enriched the local art. There needs to be a foundation where such traditions can be newly evaluated and creatively transmitted.
