본 논의는 경기도 지역 향토민요 무형문화재의 지정 및 지정 후 재현, 전승 현황을 고찰하고, 전승의 과제와 개선방안을 제시한 글이다.
1998년 지정 후 2016년까지, 경기도 향토민요 관련 무형문화재로 최대 13종 지정이후 9종으로 감소하여, 문화재 관리, 운영의 문제가 예상된다. 우선 북서부 지역 위주의 분포와 농요, 의례요 등 유사한 민요의 지정현황은 발굴?복원과정에서 일정부분 상호 전이되거나 정형화 경향과, 일부의 원형 훼손 가능성, 지정?전승 과정상의 한계 등을 의미한다.
그리고, 문화재 종목의 ‘(세시)놀이’와 ‘민속음악’의 유형분류와 민요구성의 관계가 모호하여, 재검토가 요구된다. 민요와 놀이?의례의 연계성 등은 원형에 대한 인식과 관련된다. 지정문화재의 명칭과 종목 번호도 올바른 문화재 지정 여부에 대한 지표가 될 수 있다.
보존회의 전수교육은 정기적인 회원 강습과 일반인 대상교육으로 구분가능하고, 원형전승과 현대적 계승의 이원화된 공연양상을 띤다. 의례(일) 과정과 연계된 다양한 유형의 소리 발굴 및 지나친 양식화에 따른 원형훼손에 유의할 필요가 있다.
전승의 과제와 개선방안으로, 첫째, 문화유산의 가치와 보존에 대한 인식 재고, 둘째, 문화재 지정과 해제 과정의 지표화, 셋째, 문화재의 기록화와 기록물 보존의 체계화, 넷째, 지역사회와의 연계, 다섯째, 전문인력 구성과 지원관리의 체계적 정립 등을 주요 논점으로써, 제안하였다.
In this article, I suggest issues and tasks in transmission of Gyeonggi Province folk songs after thorough study of designation of Gyeonggi Province folk songs as intangible cultural asset, reproduction and transmission.
Intangible cultural assets are classified into seasonal playing and songs. Originally, category or extension of folk songs is above mere songs and it also embraces personal lives as well as village communities. Intangible assets of folk songs are folk art, group events and non-stage events at the same time based on tradition, history, uniqueness, characters of field value.
Gyeonggi Province has 9 intangible assets now because of the revocation of several assets (All Gyeonggi Province, Hwasung, Gwacheon) within five years after initial designation of 13 assets in 1998. They are mostly distributed in the north Gyeonggi region where is close to the DMZ and delay in development seems to have enabled the preservation. Most of the intangible cultural assets are farming songs and weeding which show characteristics of Gyeonggi Province.
Most of the designees are who performed excavation, recovery, excluding a few cases without designees on designation, and almost all the designee passed away. Number of cases have been revoked because transmission was not completed or some cases were transmitted to groups rather than specific designees.
Subscription concert, the biggest and most representative event, is performed once a year with all of the 9 intangible cultural assets in the original complete forms of the designation.
Intangible cultural assets are classified into seasonal playing and songs. In general, current performance of the intangible cultural assets and folk songs are same as the originally designated forms and are not in varied forms other than folk songs like songs for rice-planting and weeding. Funeral songs are transmitted in Yangju and Yangpyeong.
In terms of the operation, preservation societies having training centers have been performing more constant activities for preservation including lecture, performance and transmission. Members are quite aged and the societies are suffering from lack of support fund for reproduction and transmission. Problems in reproduction and tasks for the transmission I would like to suggest are like followings.
First, preservation and value of the cultural assets. Second, new understanding of designation and revocation of the intangible cultural assets. Third, record of performance and sound source. Fourth, liaison with local communities. Fifth, organization of professional resources and establishment of systematic support and management.
