문화적 맥락의 차이에 따른 설화 향유의 한 양상과 세대 간 소통을 위한 설화 교육 시론

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify that the difference between past and present response to the same folktales relates to other cultural contexts. This is part of the research to explore the methodology of folktale education for intergenerational communication. This paper compares the reaction on a storytelling site from the past to <a wife who prayed for a false uncle> with current college students’ impressions. On the older site, the storyteller and audience sympathized with the characters of <a wife who prayed for a false uncle>. Additionally, they were pleased with the conclusion that the characters would get a new family. However, university students thought that the characters of <a wife who prayed for a false uncle> was incompetent. University students evaluated their success as depending on other people, accidentally obtained. Such a difference was closely related to the culture of the group intervening when understanding the folktale. In the past culture, empathy, interdependence, and unity were considered important values. Meanwhile, the new-generation culture emphasized the individual's free will and rights, diligence, and honesty. As a result, due to differences in cultural context, university students distorted <a wife who prayed for a false uncle>, and communication with past generations was also broken. In this paper, we study the folktale education methodology that helps communication between generations. this paper proposes that It is more suitable to tile the story <a uncle butcher and secret inspector nephew> instead of <a wife who prayed for a false uncle> for university students. That is because <a uncle butcher and secret inspector nephew> resembles the cultural context of university students. At the same time, it has the same problem as <a wife who prayed for a false uncle>.
