무용 읽기 교육과 문화 기억의 관계

Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the characteristics of dance as a form of collective memory to examine the contents of experience in dance literacy based on contemporary knowledge systems referred to as cultural historization and it presented contents of dance literacy education along with practical methods (accessibility), in that order. This signifies an exploration into the educational functions of dance literacy based on relationships between collective memory and cultural literacy. Contents researched within this context can be presented as follows. Dance exists as an agent that remembers (records) and reproduces society of its time period using collective memory and one such method of acting out memories is dance literacy. In dance literacy education, cultural forms (cultural memory) serve as contents of experience and material (data) and relationships between the recording methods and preservation methods of such experience data and memories that exist as an archival material become learning (experience) elements of dance literacy. Dance literacy is learned as the cognitive functions of imagination (sympathy) and expression (empathy) and contributes to expanding empathy and thinking that reads thoughts and feelings. For this, collective memory such as images (paintings, photographs, visual images, etc.), places (monuments, structures, memorial halls, museums), and practices (ceremonies, festivals, etc.) present experience data imprinted in the form of culture for the discovery of the spirit of the times and values of dance created through collective ideologies (folk culture, approaches made as culture) and individual reasoning systems (approaches made as art), and possibilities of imagination and inferences must be left open and experiences of dance literacy must guarantee approaches that become intellectualized. Dance literacy as records and memories usher in a sense of emotional belonging that one is within the context of a larger community in historical and cultural orbits based on various experience data. Because of this, it associates with the cultures of societies of various time periods through experiences that express abstract concepts (archival material, festivals, and ceremonies, etc.) as forms of the heart (imagination). Dance literacy in contemporary dance education guides semantic-oriented lives that are believed to contribute to greater communities and thus dance gains the function of world literacy as a communication system that connects dance and society.
