북한의 전통음악관련 무형유산의 전승과 남북한 협력 방안

Abstract

This article examined the North Korean leaders' perceptions of music as cultural heritages toseek future directions of the transmission of music as cultural heritages and perspectives forcooperation or mutual complementation of South Korea and North Korea. During the reign of Kim Il-sung , North Korea generally concentrated on the socialist or (north)Korean style succession of national cultural heritages. That is, North Korea did not leave themusic of the past as a thing of the past, but critically inherited it so that the music of the pastcould continue living in real life, and demanded the music of the past to melt modern senseson it. During the reign of Kim Jong Il , North Korea tended to emphasize national cultural heritagesmore than the reign of Kim Il-sung , but North Korean perceptions of national cultural heritage,especially intangible cultural heritage, changed at the beginning of the 2000s. That is, alongwith modern succession of music as cultural heritages, North Korea began to be interested inthe preservation of the 'archetypes'. In the reign of Kim Jeong-eun , which began in December 2011, North Korea enactedthe 「National Heritage Protection Act」 (2015) in line with the global trend and it becamethe foundation for the registration of North Korean music as cultural heritages as UNESCOIntangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity and the designation of those as national nonmaterialcultural heritages and local non-material cultural heritages. However, in contrastto the emphasis on intangible cultural heritages at the national level, it can be seen that theperformance and creation of national music in the field of music were not as active as inprevious periods. Therefore, in order to inherit the national common musical heritages in the times of SouthKorea-North Korea reconciliation, the efforts to identify and match the statuses of eachcountry's music culture while referring to the designation of cultural properties or culturalheritages based on the archetypes of region-based musical heritages should be made first. Furthermore, there is a need to widely educate that South Korea and North Korea havecommon musical heritages. Based on the basic recognition and understanding of the musicalheritages of South Korea and North Korea, it is necessary to prepare a place to confirm thesuccession and development of South Korean and North Korean music as cultural heritages,and furthermore, the national homogeneity.
