민화 속 어해도 연구와 해양문화콘텐츠화 방안

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest a plan to make marine cultural contents by utilizing the folk tales of Eohaedo. The 21st century is the century of the ocean. Accordingly, it is necessary to derive marine cultural resources using the inexhaustible resources of the ocean. Korea, with its beautiful oceanic landscape, is a maritime nation surrounded on three sides by the sea, i.e. a peninsula. Geopolitical values surrounded by the sea are highly likely to develop into cultural values. The sea, along with the long history of Korea, contains various stories with regional characteristics, and is also a place of life where people share their breath. These topographical features of the Korean Peninsula also influenced folk paintings that were popular in the late Joseon Dynasty. As a result, various marine fish as well as freshwater fish were expressed as Eohaedo. Our ancestors used fish as a material for painting, hoping for salvation, empathizing with the public, and communicating with the public to obtain psychological healing. This study assumed that the fish in folk painting is a formative language, a means of communication that expresses emotions and intentions. By verifying these assumptions, a plan for using folk paintings via Eohaedo that maximized healing properties as marine tourism contents was presented. In particular, it was suggested that Eohaedo could be an effective means of revitalizing the economy of underdeveloped and neglected coastal regions and raising the image of the region as a marine tourism content. As a result of the study on the method of converting the folk paintings from Eohaedo into marine cultural contents, first, the creation of marine cultural contents through excavation of the cultural prototype related to Eohaedo, second, the development of digital product designs related to marine culture using the folk painting technique of Eohaedo, and third, for consumers of traditional Korean Wave contents. Three ways to build a customized marine culture contents system were hence suggested.
