Abstract
A Study on the Origin of Ulsan Dutbeki and the Present Condition of Its Inheritance. ×

Dutbeki is a local dance which has been transmitted by customs in Kyongsang area since ancient times. This is a formless dance that each of the villagers enjoyed with their own colors at seasonal farming events in the past. Today, however, Dutbeki is disappearing with a rapidly changing social environment. In this situation, the researcher is going to study the origin and present condition of Dutbeki, local dance of Ulsan area, to protect and transmit it to the future. The method is as follows. Regarding the origin of Ulsan Dutbeki, the researcher reviewed the records of life from the past in Ulsan area. As for the current status of transmission, the current status of the natural handover of Dutbeki in Ulsan area and the current status of it with the participation of the researcher, a native of Ulsan, are discussed. The folklorist Jung Sangbark has established Dutbeki, which had been called as a generic name, as a local intangible culture by attaching a local name to it. As a result, Dutbeki in Ulsan area was designated as Ulsan Dutbeki and the value as an intangible cultural heritage was obtained. In this context, this study has made an accomplishment of confirming the identity of the intangible cultural heritage in Ulsan by establishing the origin of Ulsan Dutbeki and examining the current status of its inheritance.

A Study on the Cultural Hybridity of the Nuo Ceremony in Lengshuijiang, Hunan, China

Abstract
A Study on the Cultural Hybridity of the Nuo Ceremony in Lengshuijiang, Hunan, China ×

This study, with the Nuo ceremony in Lengshuijiang, Hunan, China as the subject, discusses its cultural hybridity, shaped by dynamic interaction between elite culture of the ruling class and folk culture of the working class. The author argues that the resulting hybridity is formed through homogenizing force of the elite culture and localizing capability of the folk culture. To carry out the research, the author adopts three methodologies: fieldwork, in-depth interview and literature review. From the perspective of dual cultural framework, the author observes the dilemma faced by the Nuo ceremony in a historical and social context. Unlike the prevailing tendency of separating wu (shamanism) from dao (Taoism), by former researches this paper integrates wu and dao, thereby interpreting the hybrid nature of the Nuo ceremony. Through fieldwork, the author studies the conflict and reconciliation between the high and folk cultures as projected in the cultural hybridity of the Nuo ceremony. The analysis suggests that the Lengshuijiang Nuo ceremony is a hybrid culture stemming from the combination of orthodox religion and folk shamanism during a specific historical period. It is neither a pure high culture of the state nor a pure folk culture. Rather, it is a reconstructed “third culture”. On a macro level, the author observes China’s dual cultural framework from the perspectives of both the elite culture and folk culture. On a micro level, the authors reveals, through the integration of the wu and dao elements in the Lengshuijiang Nuo ceremony, the cultural hybridity as a result of homogenization and localization, which Abstract 298 제53호is the significance of the study.

Abstract
A Study on the Application of Copyright System to Traditional Culture and Its Limits ×

Recently the copyright issue in the traditional cultural field is being discussed due to the copyright claim on traditional dance. The copyright norms is unfamiliar to those who are engaged in traditional cultural fields in Korea. Despite this unfamiliarity, the number of cases in which copyright law is applied to the field of traditional culture is increasing. The copyright cases that have occurred in the field of literary works such as books in the past are now spreading to art, music, and dance. In this article, I have discussed some issues in judging the creativity and substantial similarity of cultural heritage-based works through representative cases of art works and musical works related to intangible cultural heritage. The copyright system is based on the assumption that a specific author has exclusive copyright for the work. On the other hand, many cultural heritages presuppose that ‘communities or groups’ have created, maintained and propagated them, and it is not easy to identify copyright holders because their boundaries are ambiguous. In addition, in order to establish an exclusive right such as copyright, a clear boundary must be set for the work, which is an object of rights, but the boundary of the traditional culture that has continuously changed from the past is not clear. Therefore, I suggest the open source model as an alternative to exclusive copyright.

Abstract
A Study on the Current Status of Culture and Arts Centers : Focusing on Dance Performance ×

By 1979, 95 culture and arts centers had been established, and there was an increase in the number of these centers every year from then on. In 2016, there were 229 culture and arts centers nationwide. The culture and arts centers established with the support of the government, needed the management of operation to suit local characteristics and environment with the lapse of time. To examine the operating state of dance performances of culture and arts centers, this study dealt with the performance record of the field of dance in performance halls from 2011 to 2016. Region, operator, and year were selected as demographic variables to make a comparative analysis of the trend in the changes of the variables. SPSS 21.0 was used to perform computational processing. The findings of the study were as follows: To the performance record of the field of dance in the performance halls, the total yearly number of dance performance cases was a mean of 2.6. and the total yearly number of dance performance days was a mean of 3.3. and the total annual frequency of dance performances was a mean of 3.9. Concerning the rate of paying audience in the area of dance, it stood at a mean of 15.2 percent, and was highest in Seoul. As the results, the number of dance performance days and the frequency of dance performances were low relatively to the number of dance performance cases compared to those of other genres. It implies that dance performances are given just on a temporary basis. Performance facilities that are tailored to the specificity of the genre of dance are necessary, and careful performance planning and assistance from the government are both required to ensure the continuity of dance performances.

Abstract
Dance Culture of the Joseon Dynasty Read through PaintingⅠ: Dancing Picture in Royal Space ×

The aim of this research is to understand the dancing culture of the Joseon Dynasty period(1392~1910) by examining dancing pictures in multi-level. The objects of the analysis are 22 pictures of dancing in royal space, 37 pictures if one counts copies and different editions. Iconography and literature research are used as basic research methods, and comparative study is used as well. Chronologically speaking, the pictures of dancing in royal space had been drawn from Jungjong(1488~1544, r.1506~1544) to Gojong(1852~1919, r.1863~1907) in Joseon Dynasty. In terms of space, royal palace is the space where the royal family and officials enjoyed dancing. In terms of audience-performer, there are only male audiences in dancing pictures from Jungjong to Yeongjo(1694~1776, r.1724~1776) but female audiences appear from Jeongjo(1572~1800, r.1776~1800). The performers in the dancing pictures are various like female dancers entertainer called as ginyeo, boy dancers called as mudong, cheoyong dancers, and even officials. In later times, the dancing ginyeo becames noticeable. It has been proven by the pictures of dancing officials that the officials were dancing in the party with a king. In terms of the way of drawing dancing, it has been started from Jeongjo that multiple jeongjae appear in one scene as if they are performed simultaneously. In Soonjo(1790~1834, r.1800~1834), dance painting accurately reflected the performance. All the dances performed were pictured. Gradually, however, during the Korean Empire, only some of the dances performed were painted. Popular dance was drawn frequently. I suggest that the importance of dance in record pictures of royal space is directly proportional to the importance of dance in real culture.

Abstract
A Self Narrative Study on Expanding the Awareness of the Value of Dance Education : Focusing on Experience of Dance Education Workshop as Teacher Researcher ×

In this study, the teacher researcher participated in the dance education workshop as a learner to expand the awareness of the value of dance education. I revealed the story of my experience as a learner, and shared the principles and values of dance education found in the experience. For this, the teacher researcher participated as a learner in the dance education workshop organized by S-group and conducted a 'self narrative study' that explored my experience narratively. The principles of dance education found in the workshops experienced by teacher researcher are as follows. I was able to explore the principles of ‘community learning’ which enables people to communicate with others, and ‘active learning’ that the learners experienced and realized by themselves. The values of dance education found in this workshop experienced by teacher researcher are as follows. The experience of interacting with and others has allowed learners to develop their knowledge processing and problem solving skills while understanding others' movements, and to develop their self-management and creative thinking skills while telling their own stories. This body dialogue also allowed them to enhance their communication and community competence. Based on the results of this study, we can find the possibility of human education and competency education of dance education. We suggest the systematic implementation of dance educator and the development of related governance awareness opportunities for expanding the value of dance education.

Chinese Local Cultural Elements in Jeongjae Oyangseon

정재 오양선에 있어서 중국의 지방문화적 요소

Abstract
Chinese Local Cultural Elements in Jeongjae Oyangseon ×

Oyangseon (五羊仙, Daoist hermits of five sheep) is known as one of the fourteen dances of Dangakjeongjae (唐樂呈才, Chinese court dance). It has been performed since the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) as a royal dance transmitted from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) of China with a background of the Oyang (五羊, Five sheep) legend. The existing research on Oyangseon focuses on the transformation of Oyangseon, production composition, and narrative analysis based on historical materials, though with little examination of symbolic or metaphorical expressions in choreography. Oyangseon is a dance performance based on a folk tale set in Chinese Weo (越) culture. According to W. Eberhart, Weol culture was developed in combination with the Thai culture and the Yao culture. The present study aims to provide an interpretation of Oyangseon based on the motifs and cultural elements of Oyangseon’s tale from a Weol cultural perspective. Oyangseon's tale tells the story of five sheep delivering grain from the holy world to the human world for a good harvest and well-being. Oyangseon can be understood as a work strengthening or renewing royal authority by invoking the relation between spirituality and farming. Jukgan (竹竿, a bamboo pole) is a ritual-offering-object widely used in Chinese palaces and even in the private sector which represents the presence of deity. Meanwhile, the choreography of Jeonjae is same as the Chinese Ubo (禹步). Marcel Granet said Ubo is an expression of the one-legged goblin's walking (movement) in Chinese myth. The goblin can be recognized as the mountain god or mountain god's messenger whose appearance is interpreted as a metaphor of blessing to human world.

Furthermore, the pictures revealed that a government officer and old men invited at the banquet danced together in the local government office space. This was because dancing was recognized as something wonderful that only a peaceful time allowed. In the Joseon Dynasty, the government office space was the place where people could enjoy dancing.

Abstract
Landscape of Korean Dance in the 1960s through Analysis of Dance Video from Garfias Collection of the National Gugak Center ×

This research attempted to clarify trends of Korean dances during the 1960s by analyzing dance video data from the National Gugak Center’s Garfias Collection. The Garfias Collection is an archive of Korean performing arts that was donated by American music anthropologist Robert Garfias in 2019. In 1966, Garfias stayed in Korea for several months and recorded Korean traditional performing arts through photographs and videos. In this collection, there are 14 video clips of Korean dances of the 1960s, which can be classified into three sections: court dance, Buddhist dance, and folk dance. Various literature surveys and expert interview were conducted to investigate the background and activity status of the performers at the time, as well as the costumes, dance movements and the composition patterns of each dance. In the case of court dance, they were performed before systematic restoration based on literature had been carried out, and it was found that the progress was faster and contained more creative elements than the current one. In Buddhist dance, it has proceeded almost identically to what is currently being performed, but it can be said that the pace of progression is faster and the individuality of the dancer stands out. Finally, in folk dance, it provided an opportunity to gain a new perspective on the formation of traditional dance since the video showed a very different aspect from the dance that is currently being transmitted.
