한국 무속춤에 나타난 디오니소스와 아폴론적 성격 - 니체 『비극의 탄생』을 중심으로

Abstract

It is suggested that phylogenetic analysis of Korean shamanistic dance is needed to provide new scope of a study in addition to an established analysis of religious characteristics, and to be approached with new perspective. Characteristics of primitive incantation, which archaic religion in particular retained, has gone through a process of conventionalization for a religious ritual, along with a society being divided and expanded to ancient religion. Moreover, the religious ritual― traditional Korean exorcism (굿; gut)― enacted in natural-religious shamanism and dance as well as a dramatic style performed by the shaman have a successive feature through an unique course and education to be a shaman. This, in other words, means that analysis of characteristics in regard to the traditional Korean shamanism needs to proceed in a wider range of areas covering culture and arts. Hence, this thesis tries to understand the origin of Korean shamanism and its characteristics from a cross-cultural perspective, based on Nietzsche's the Birth of Tragedy that analyzes two tendencies of the origin of Western culture. Especially, rather than bisecting spiritualistic shaman and hereditary shaman, this paper tries to focus on researching original dualities of those shamanistic requisites as compared with the dionysian and the apollonian presented by Nietzsche. And also, it should be noted that this study investigates how two methodical characteristics of Korean shamanism are under way to be integrated within a cultural and artistic sense.
