Abstract
The Negotiation of Dance and the cultural understanding in the late Joseon Dynasty ×

Political stability and economic surplus in the late Joseon Dynasty accelerated the negotiation of traditional dances in the context of the demand of popular culture, increase in the desire to make art, and awareness of popular art. Such negotiation aspects became more distinct with the revitalization of the Seonsanggi system and stronger roles of the middle class. Particularly, the middle class was changed into the manager, enjoyer, and doer of dance culture with the movement of elevation of social status in the 18th century. They were the actant that laid foundation for dancers to meet their dances. The principal media of transformation in the dance culture formed between the court and the people, between surface and substratum, and between upper and lower classes were Gyoang and government-sponsored gisaengs. They created their own dances with such an axis as the center, which increased the number of each dance and gave birth to the advancement of dance history. What offered the core channel to the cultural diversity of traditional dances in the late Joseon Dynasty are the Seonsanggi system and the middle class. Gobang contributed to the birth of various dances as well as gisaengs of great dances. 18th century was the time for preparation of negotiation for others’ dances due to cultural diversity phenomena in the late Joseon Dynasty. 19th century was the zenith of desire for expression of dances in which the aspects of negotiation started in earnest.
