무용 경험의 내면성과 공감의 속성

Abstract

This study interpreted individual identity through the inequality of body, and regarded the horizontal communication structure premised on inequality as the in- ternality of contemporary dance. In addition, this study presented the attributes of dance empathy occurred in the process of identity exchange between individuals in the horizontal communication structure as sharing reciprocity and experience between individuals forming the relationship in the structure of dance sharing. The attributes of internality and emotional empathy of dance in the sharing system drawn in the research process are as follows. Dance experience has a function to understand others with equal value of existence same as oneself in the horizontal communication system accepting the inequality of body. And in the dance experience, others exist as identity while the identity proving the existence of each one is recognized in the communication structure that expresses existing oneself through actions. Therefore, the contem- porary dance implies the ethical principles of forming the horizontal relationship that accepts the inequality of body as individual’s independent nature in the com- munication structure which understands others as identity. Emotional empathy, which enjoys interdependent relationship connected to emotional memories enlightened through sharing experiences with others, is a competence that can be enhanced through the design of public education, social public system, or public culture, and furthermore, it can reduce the formation of unequal and hierarchical social relations.
