무용학 지식 정보의 의미 관계 분석- 1958~2016년 국내 무용학 연구 자료를 중심으로

Abstract

This study analyzes 20,776 texts of dance research data in Korea accumulated from 1958 to 2016. The purpose of this study is to discover meaningful connections between these pieces of information and reveal semantic relations. The research method utilizes text mining and degree centrality analysis based on the semantic network. The study found that the information perceived as important is different for each period: Today, dance has expanded into various fields of interest in the pursuit of artistic and educational value, dance experiences and participation in daily life. In addition, there was a difference in the semantic relations of Muyoung[무용], Choom[춤], and Dance[댄스]. Despite sharing the term, ‘expressions and creative activities through the body’, Choom is seen as a part of Korean’s folk dance and popular culture, whereas Dance tends to be recognized not only as dance but also as a sport or as a leisure activity. In this way, I hope that through finding meaningful semantic relations throughout a wide breadth of texts, this paper will contribute to the knowledge base of dance studies.
