Abstract

On Kyeryong Mountain, different religious(or ideological) groups have endowed space and place with amalgams of different meanings, uses and values. In addition to Buddhism and Confucianism, Shamanism and other popular beliefs have practiced their own ideologies(or powers) to create and maintain their own territories and identities. The geographies of resistance, involving Shamanism, have been scattered all over the mountain, discontinuous in the territorialization. These geographies of resistance could be identified the best around the most sacred sites, such as Sambulbong, Amyongch'u and Sutyongch'u. The entanglement of Shamanism with Buddhism, in various patterns through space and time, has indeed contributed to the survival of Shamanism as a subordinate power.

계룡산에는 상이한 종교(또는 이념) 집단들이 다양한 의미와 가치를 부여하며 이용해 온 공간과 장소들이 있다. 불교와 유교 그리고 무속을 포함하는 민간 신앙들은 자기 고유의 영역과 정체성을 생산하고 관리하기 위하여 제각기 다른 이념(또는 세력)을 구현하여 왔다. 무속을 중심으로 하는 저항의 지리는 계룡산 전역에 걸쳐 불연속적인 영역을 기반으로 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 저항의 지리가 가장 뚜렷하게 확인되는 지점은 삼불봉, 암용추, 숫용추 등이다. 지금까지 무속과 불교의 공간적이고 시간적인 뒤엉킴을 통하여 피지배 세력인 무속이 생존하여 왔던 것이다.
