젠더의 관점에서 본 한국의 무(巫)：내림굿과 마을굿을 중심으로

Abstract

This thesis shows an understanding about the lives of women who have been suppressed as well as have taken an active role in their lives. And it figures out the cultural characteristics embracing all male and female things by adopting gender as a main perspective of shamanism studies and showing the relationship between shamanism and women. Therefore, it first analyzes shamans’ roles by looking into shamanistic rites of would-be mediums and experiences of shamans. Second, it analyzes a meaning of village rituals and examines how female recreation spirits are revealed in a shaman’s ritual under the male-oriented societies that strictly ban their shamanistic things. Third, it exposes patriarchal ideologies hidden in the text of female myths, the main part of shamanistic epics；analyzes how female things are accepted or denied in those myths. By these analyses above mentioned, we can see the female side revealed in shamanism did not content with its position under patriarchal society but actively built its identity. And many recreation culture in village rituals shows that there exist a lot of resistance against suppression from patriarchy. Third, all myths try to support a female voice by showing a desire of deviation or resistance of the subjugated class as well as the ideology of the ruling class.
