무형유산의 계승과 확산 방안 모색: 전라남도를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to seek ways to promote succession and dissemination of intangible cultural heritage with focus on Jeollanamdo. The succession of intangible cultural heritage refers to an act of sustaining and passing down the intangible cultural heritage from the past to the present while the dissemination refers to an act of disseminating and spreading the value of intangible cultural heritage by granting new meanings to it. When it comes to the method of succession, there is a need to change the education on succession and the related education and training based on the extent of designating intangible cultural properties and to seek ways to have intangible cultural heritage aligned with occupations for a living if applicable. It is also necessary to prepare a document that fully describes the present status and succession pattern of those designated as intangible cultural properties. An effort to facilitate dissemination of intangible cultural heritage should include inspections on the extended scope of designation of intangible cultural properties with focus on the newly added area as well as new surveys based on the intangible cultural heritage urban project and the agricultural & fishery inspection project led by the National Intangible Heritage Center. The effort should extend to raising awareness of archives, setting up new concepts, and building the archive of intangible cultural heritage. The focus of such archive should be shifted from preparing simple data storage to building a digital heritage. The study has introduced an exemplary case study of building an archive for Gokseong Jukdong nongak (or traditional Korean music performed by farmers), which should disseminate into building more comparable archives. A consistent effort should be made with the highest priority placed on comprehensive surveys on Jeollanamdo intangible cultural heritage and making a list of items subject to building the Jeollanamdo intangible cultural heritage archive.
