전북 위도 마을굿의 전승양상

Abstract

The nature environment is important in everywhere, but the specialities on islands have strong influences on social structures or history developments. The folk exorcism indicates the character of the islands, so to fully understand islands’ culture, it is essential to study the folk exorcism, which is the root of the islands. The research area of this thesis, Wido-myeon Buan-gun North Jeolla province, has handed down the folk exorcism to 6 villages; Jin-ri, Daeri, Beolgum, Chidori, Sikdo, Jeonmak, but now only 5 villages, Jin-ri, Daeri, Beolgum, Chidori, Sikdo, are doing the folk exorcism. The folk exorcism on the islets is showing a strong sea religion by an ecological environment. Though Wido is the coastal area which is close to the land, Wido has the sea religion similar to that of the urban area located at a long distance from the sea. First, we can find the feature on divinity which has been enshrined in a shrine. Second, a Yongwang ceremony, which belongs to a Hadang ceremony, has a character similar to the sea religion of the urban area far from the sea. Third, a sacrifice day of the shrine is also the same day with the urban area. Even though Wido is located at a coastal area adjacent to the land, Wido has the similar ecological environment to the urban area located at a long distance from the sea; a fishery. That’s why Wido has the similar sea religion, such as divinity, the way of the Youngwang ceremony, and the sacrifice day to the urban area far from the sea.
