교과서 수록본 「오늘이」의 비판적 검토 - 「원텬강본푸리」와 어린이용 판본과의 비교를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This writing is to develop people's ability to choose the best book, so this was written considering if 「O-Neul-e」, which is contained in elementary students' Korean textbooks as a shamans' song for the first time, and other adapted books for children are passing on traditional values well. After studying 「Wontyeongangbonfuri」 carefully, we noticed that this shamans' song described the process of becoming a female possessed shaman. We especially focused on the fact that textbooks have changed a mythical development story into a filial behavior one. It is underestimated because it is nothing more than a text to achieve a functional goal of summarizing stories in time orders, rather than a new genre as a shamanism myth. We also tried to figure out the changed meanings of motives, comparing recordings with adapted ones. As far as a lotus tree, it seems to represent the possibility of a magnolia when the title of ‘tree’, the habitat of ‘pond’, and the flowering season of March are considered together. Furthermore, Tyeonha, a Buddhist priest said that this shamanistic myth originated from Jeju island, and snakes or big serpents are better choices rather than Imoogi, in respect that Jeju island is famous for religious belief in snakes. In other aspects, we criticized the adapted books for children in that they have left out or reduced the wailing scene in ‘O-Neul-e’. As wailing is considered as an important part of becoming a complete man in psychological aspects, we concluded the change was not desirable. The adaptation that O-Neul-e goes up to the sky leaving behind roles is also considered bad, compared to our mythical view in which there is little sense of distance between man and gods.
