제주도 <맹감본풀이(사만이본풀이)>의 구조와 의미

Abstract

<Mangambonpuri> known as a myth of samani that treats the death angel well. The complexity of being bonpuri for a hunting patron saint or being a shaman song emphasizing the need of ritual to prevent misfortune is the truth of <Mangambonpuri>. However, the key of <Mangambonpuri> is in ‘skull’ and the skill emphasizes that an ancestor god hunts as a job. So, the ritual suitable to actual bonpuri was ‘Mangamkosa’(shamanistic ritual for Mangam), and the reason why it is today called as a charm against Siwhangmaji seems to be the transformation of future generations. Therefore, the key words of <Mangambonpuri> are ‘hunting’ and ‘skull’. If bonpuri studies are conducted only about a shaman song due to its narrative characteristics, now the study suitable to the ritual is required. The reason is that although actual conditions of the ritual say that <Mangambonpuri> cannot be bonpuri, our perception is bonded in the categories such as the death angel, ‘mangam’, ‘death’, and ‘the death angel. It seems to need to verify if the function and the meaning of bonpuri is understood in the context of the ritual. From this perspective, the more intensive field record about gut of Jeju island is required. Jeju island is the last region with live gut and a place where rich myths are handed down, so that ‘Jeju island bonpuri archive center’ needs to be urgently built. Archiving should be made by colleting scattered data and searching the daily disappearing fields.
