해석학적 관점에서 본 도슨트(Docent)의 위상 - 박물관ㆍ미술관에서의 예술작품 해석의 문제를 중심으로

Abstract

I think that the most important issue in contemporary hermeneutics is status of interpretation/interpreter. Because an action of interpretation about works of art and text would be help, otherwise hinder our action of understanding. Therefore, Interpreter will perhaps play an important role as a guide who will guide audience into the world of works of all, or will play a role as a hinderer who will guide audience into the world of a part of works. In this article, I will consider Docent in museum or museum of art as an interpreter in hermeneutic perspective, and concentrate on role of Docent, especially about interpretation of works of art of Docent. The reason why emphasizing role of Docent as interpreter is that it is connected with an important issue in hermeneutics, that is, a way of give a meaning of action of interpretation. So, we will discuss about now situation of using and work of Docent and the characteristic of art and works of art in museum and museum of art in Korea. Nextly we will deal with corelation with the Docent and audience and works of art. And we will concentrically debate on works of art as an object of interpretation and an object of experience. Finally we will discuss about division of art and non-art. Summarizing these discussion, Are works of art an object of interpretation? or Are works of art an object of experience? Through this hermeneutic question, I will indirectly suggest a suitable role of Docent in museum and museum of art.
