베트남 이주민 구술설화 자료의 현황과 성격 연구

Abstract

This study was based on the results of a survey on 22 Vietnamese migrant oral narratives. Immigrants living in Korea will contribute to making Korea's story culture more colorful and rich with their own story culture traditions. This study divides the narratives into myths, legends, and folk tales, and examined their characteristics. The myths still functions as a source of Vietnamese pride and a symbolic medium of social integration. The legends had a lot to do with Vietnamese history from ancient times and the Middle Ages to the Vietnam Independence Movement and the Vietnam War. The Vietnamese preserved the painful memories of defeat through legends and praised the victorious heroes' actions. On the other hand, the legends reveal the ways in which Vietnamese lifestyles and environments are understood from their perspective. The Vietnamese folk tales convincingly suggests the Vietnamese ethics of the relationships. Many of the folk tales dealing with conflicts and solutions among siblings are characteristic, which can be seen as the complexity and severity of the conflict among siblings. In parent-child relationhips, filial piety is important, but there are cases where a smart child comes out on behalf of a helpless parent or resists or confronts a harmful parent. Faithful ethics was emphasized in gender relationships and marital relationships. Vietnamese narratives that are narrated by migrants have the utility of showing a different solution to universal life problems, or broadening the horizons of life and human understanding through stories that we do not have from a literary therapeutic point of view. In addition, multicultural narratives, including Vietnamese ones, are important in multicultural literacy education. As they can help overcome cultural narcissism and open the way for the production of new stories with others.
