동시대 무용의 가치 전도와 가치 창출

Abstract

The subject of this study is revaluation and creation of values in contemporary dance. For this study, the concept of dancing was explored by the function of contemporary dance and put forth a course for private and social revaluation of values in dance by analyzing the positions of postmodernism and the general public after categorizing elite dance until the modernism and dance in cultures after the postmodernism as the field of popular dance. Contemporary time refers to a time that demands a rational and psychological buffer zone or a healing space of emotional and psychological stabilization in the time of continuously occurring impacts; and, delaying the decision on dance found in an unfamiliar structure can be construed as a will to resist against the immediate response to a stimulation, and the function of such psychological training is the artistic value of postmodernism dance. The value of dance lies in the world of personality, not physical. Therefore, the function of dance in contemporary time may be proposed in terms of accessibility and the forms and values of contemporary dance have in our lives. What was drawn from the logic of this study was that, historically, dance functioned in the psychological world of the humanity but, in the relationship with society, its values were pursued by focusing its functions more in the domain of expert knowledge, such as enlightenment and criticism. Postmodernism considers a person an inevitable existence by viewing it as a fate and is a society that determines the value of an individual by affiliating to and existing as a whole. Dance in such a time, rather than as an apparition on vanishing stages, has been symbolized or sublimated and exists in the lives of the individuals living in such society.
