Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how Korean dance affects middle-aged women by acting as a cultural mediator. A qualitative approach was taken in order to best achieve the purpose of this study. The data used in this study were collected from Feb 10th to April 1st, 2016, using in-depth interviews. The results are as follows; firstly, on an emotional level, the middle-aged women participating in Korean dance as a cultural mediator, feel a sense of self-achievement and social belonging, as well as experiencing an improvement in their psychological stability by resolving their depression. Those who had lost their sense of autonomy and productivity were able to recover some of their self-esteem through this activity. Secondly, in terms of their activity, the Korean dance enabled the ladies to exercise their poorly used muscles by strengthening their gross and fine motor skills through the movements associated with the Korean traditional music. This allowed them to ease their chronic physical pain and it can be considered that their overall exercise function was increased by expanding their exercise radius. Third, in the cognitive area, it was possible for them to revive their happy memories by listening to the music which was loved by their preceding generations. This is because the melody of familiar Korean music provides them with the chance to remember their former days. Lastly, in the social area, the Korean dance allowed the middle-aged women to accept themselves through music and movement, as well as playing the role of a mediator which enabled them to overcome their isolation and the conflicts they face in their social relations. In addition, they achieved self-realization by reconnecting with the regional community through the Korean dance performances, which they learned as social community members.

중년기여성의 문화복지로서 한국무용의 효과성에 대한 연구이다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 질적인 접근(qualitative approach)하였고, 자료 수집기간은 2016년 2월 10일에서 2016월 4월 1일까지였으며, 자료수집방법은 심층면담을 주로 사용하였다. 연구결과는 문화복지로서 한국무용에 참여하는 중년기 여성은 첫째, 정서적 영역 측면에서 자아성취와 사회소속감을 느꼈고, 중년기 우울증을 해소하여 심리적 안정에 많은 효과를 보았음을 알수 있었다. 또한 자율성과 생산성이 떨어진 연구대상자들은 한국무용 참여를 통한 자존감 회복에 큰 효과가 나타났다. 둘째, 운동영역으로서의 한국무용은 한국전통음악과 함께 동작을 표현함으로써 대근육과 소근육을 강화를 하여 평소 쓰지 않던 근육을 활용했다. 중년여성들은 평소 앓고 있었던 신체증상이 완화됨을 경험하였고, 이는 운동반경을 넓힘에 따라 전반적 운동기능이 향상되었다고 볼 수 있다. 셋째, 인지적 영역 측면에서 한국무용 중 친숙하고 익숙한 한국음악의 멜로디가 기억과 회고의 기회를 주며 중년기 여성의 어머니, 할머니가 좋아했던 음악을 들으면서 편안한 시절의 회상력을 증진시킬수 있었다. 마지막으로, 사회적 영역에서 한국무용은 음악과 동작을 통해 대상자 스스로를 수용하여 주고, 관계 속에서 느낀 고립과 갈등을 극복할 수 있는 매개체의 역할을 수행한다고 하였다. 또한 사회공동체의 일원으로 익힌 한국무용을 지역사회에 환원함으로 해서 지역사회와의 연계로 인한 자아실현도 하게 되었다.
