문화교류 관점에서 본 조선시대 무용의 전파구조

Abstract

This study seeks to clarify the transmission structure in which court dance and civil dance exchanged in the Joseon Dynasty within the broad category of cultural exchange. Based on the theoretical background of cultural diffusion theory that culture evolves through exchange with other cultures, this study analyzes the structure of diffusion between court dance and folk dance in the Joseon Dynasty. For the analysis, I drew from Clark Wissler’s intentional and natural diffusion as well as Jeong Su-il’s direct and indirect diffusion. I collected data from Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, Akhak Gwebeom (樂學軌範), Jeongjae Mudoholgi (呈才舞蹈笏記), Uigwe (儀軌), Eupji (邑誌) and personal anthologies. The study was conducted with a focus on human exchange in terms of the practical factors of diffusion. The findings are as follows. First, dance cultural exchange in the court was classified as intentional diffusion, including the two-way direct propagation among gisaengs and the one-way indirect propagation between gisaengs and audiences. Next, dance cultural exchange in the private sector was classified as natural diffusion, including the two-way direct propagation between gisaengs and entertainers and the one-way indirect propagation between gisaengs and audiences. Applying the cultural exchange theory of cultural anthropologists, this study is expected to expand the field of dance studies by providing a starting point for studying the change and development of dance from the viewpoint of cultural studies.
