법성포단오제의 축제적 기반과 무속적 전통

Abstract

The transmission foundation of Bupsungpo Danoje Festival can be said to be the physical foundation of self-sustainment and the internal tradition that a port normally possesses. The festival which emphasizes the artistic performance shows remarkable relevance to this transmission foundation. Bupsungpo has been a prime port where storehouses for collected grain and navy bases were located, a center of fishery, including yellow corvina fair, and distribution center for marine products. The complex functions of a port and the entailed physical basis have been fed into forming the important background for the transmission of Danoje Festival. Bupsungpo Danoje Festival places more emphasis on the artistic, performing aspect rather than ritual aspect. ‘Performing arts’-centered festivals correlate with the socio-cultural characteristics of a port, and they bear very significant a relationship with the internal traditional of local culture. That is the shamanistic tradition which is related to hereditary shaman families. The activities of hereditary shaman families, including the Kim, Hakjun family and Kim, Ohchae family, can be said to be the core of the cultural art of Bupsungpo. Performances by such performers directly relate to the performance richness of Danoje Festival. They have worked as the festive foundation and served to maintain the authority of Danoje Festival.
