제주도 구전신화에서의 여성의 ‘감성·감수성’과 신체적 표현-분노 감정의 신화적 의미를 중심으로

Abstract

This study purposed to examine women’s sensitivity․susceptibility observed in Jeju‐do oral myths, its correlation with women’s physical expressions, and its mythological meaning, focusing on anger emotion. The contents of discussion are summarized as follows. First, women’s sensitivity․susceptibility and its physical expressions in Jeju‐do oral myths are the transformation of goddesses’(女神) creation act. Second, goddesses’․women’s anger in Jeju‐do oral myths is presented as the acculturation of the ‘creative power’ of the goddesses in the creation myths, rather than as a simple emotion. Third, in our understanding, we need to separate the layer of women’s․goddesses’ emotion and their physical expressions presented in their vertical relation with the parents from the layer of women’s․goddesses’ emotion and their physical expressions presented in their horizontal relation with others, rather than associating them together. It is because women’s․goddesses’ emotion is not exposed clearly in the former layer, but anger emotion is expressed actively in the latter layer. Nevertheless, the two layers appear to be harmonious with each other and construct a myth together rather confronting with each other, and this is because women’s․goddesses’ anger emotion toward others plays the role of buffering between the two layers.
