국악계 창작 패러다임 전환 담론에 대한 비판적 검토

Abstract

In this study, the method of the Korean traditional performing arts industry that is responding to digital transformation after the spread of COVID-19 is outlined and critically examined. However, this study does not aim to suggest a way to quickly acquire digital literacy to adapt to the new environment. Rather, it captures the impact of digital transformation on the Korean traditional performing arts industry, reads the back of digital capitalism, and reconsiders the deleted questions. In particular, this paper examines what has remained since the discourse surrounding the digital-centered paradigm took over the Korean traditional performing arts industry. The Korean traditional performing arts industry recognizes digital transformation or an online-based creative environment as a crisis or a new opportunity. However, rather than looking back on the conditions of performing arts, this change seems to be an opportunity to utilize technology and media as a commercialization strategy for Korean traditional performing arts. In this study, it was considered that this problem was essentially caused by the "survival politics" that has existed deeply in the Korean traditional performing arts industry for a long time. It also pointed out that the condition of COVID-19 is being reversed as a mechanism to justify the results of using new technologies and media without any special awareness of problems, rather than attempts to use various technologies and media due to COVID-19. The spread of infectious diseases, wars, and climate crises is asking us about what art can do. These social issues are very specific 'reality' that greatly affects the artist's own existence. The reality we face goes beyond the trend of adapting quickly to the digital environment and not falling behind. A destructively shaken society is a paradigm we face.
