탈춤에서 드러나는 사회적 약자에 대한 시선 - 지속가능한 문화콘텐츠 관점에서 -

Abstract

This study examined the perspectives on the socially underprivileged as revealed in Ogwangdae and Yaryu-type mask dances handed down in the Yeongnam region. The subjects of the socially underprivileged were examined through perspectives on aristocrats and commoners with disabilities, including lepers, and women according to gender classification. The way people treat disabilities, including leprosy, includes the perception that they are being punished in this world through ancestors' karma or living a promiscuous life. Because there is a perception that disability is a punishment or a sin given by heaven, the physical discomfort of disabled characters is caricatured, and the movement and content convey the exclusive perception that disabled characters are morally promiscuous and inferior. It can be seen that the perspective that deals with women does not recognize their autonomous independent self and always objectifies them as replaceable tools. In particular, young women are treated as sexual objects or objects of harassment, and in today's era, problems that could be defined as serious sexual crimes have the potential to be trivialized and perceived as insignificant problems. There may not have been a problem with the social perception at the time when talchum was performed, but in today's society where civic awareness and social awareness have improved, it is necessary to think about the perspective revealed by talchum and make efforts to improve it.
