제주도 서사무가 <이공본풀이>에서의 ‘분노’의 감성 연구

Abstract

Nowadays, it is true that ‘sentiment’, which is conveyed to people, as well as the content of a myth plays a key role for Jeju shamanistic myths to maintain their transmission. During the religious ceremony where a shaman‘s song is recited do Simbang, which refers to a shaman in Jeju dialect, and participants weep and laugh together, remembering the god. The reason they could cry and laugh together is that they not just read a myth through a text but also take it sentimentally. The study on sentiment of literature, which has recieved much attention recently, is to be focused on in the field of mythology as well. <Yigongbonpulee> mainly consists of violence, murder, and revenge, where wrath dominates the whole discourse and drives narration. Although god’s wrath should be different from secular human’s in the sense of holiness, Hallakgungee, the main character in <Yigongbonpulee>, shows quite basic human desire clearly. However, the violence and wrath that he shows are not to be explained as a kind of personal feelings but rather are used as means of delivering appropriate punishment and recovering order, through which we can regard him as god. When we comprehend a myth based on sentiment, its meaning becomes more vivid, and therefore it is then when the myth is conveyed to us in a live form. Mythical figure’s sentiments are shared by Simbang who recites it, and it can be said that they are also all of ours, who participate in a religious ceremony and remember the myth. Considering the viewpoint mentioned above, this study aims to consider one specific sentiment, ‘wrath’, in <Yigongbonpulee> at the discourse analysis perspective and reveal its meanings behind. In short, with this analysis, it becomes possible to shed new light on divine acquisitioin process, which has been dealt with only transcendentally and extraordinarily. Moreover, this study will help established studies to view mythologies with a new perspective : logic of sentiment.
