Abstract

While cultural property protection in the 1950s was limited to the protection of tangible cultural properties such as temples, pagodas, crafts, and paintings, in the 1960s, with the enactment of the Cultural Properties Protection Act, folk games, dances, Korean traditional music, crafts, etc. that were handed down throughout the region were expanded. Intangible cultural assets have been newly discovered and added to the list of cultural assets protected. At the time, the Cultural Heritage Protection Act defined ‘intangible cultural heritage’ as an object with artistic and cultural value that contained national sentiment rather than a fixed form. According to this law, the preservation of intangible cultural assets has great significance in establishing national identity, and by utilizing them, a new culture can be created. The ‘Cultural Heritage Protection Act’ suggests the government’s purpose in pursuing the production of video records of intangible cultural assets. Video recordings of intangible cultural assets have important value as materials in that they enable the transmission of the skills and entertainment of the holder of the item even after it has declined. In this trend, the production of video recordings of intangible cultural assets has not only shown quantitative growth, but the purpose of production has also diversified into preservation, transmission, utilization, and dissemination of intangible cultural assets. Accordingly, this paper examined 217 intangible cultural heritage video records produced from 1965 to 2022 from a diachronic perspective by relating them to intangible cultural heritage-related institutions and recording media. Through this, it was confirmed with what kind of institutional support the intangible cultural heritage video recordings were promoted in each period and how they are currently being utilized. It is hoped that the results of this paper will be widely used as reference material that can contribute to future research on intangible cultural heritage video records.
