역사민속콘텐츠의 창출 현황과 대중화의 과제

초록

Since the mid 1990s, there has been an international trend of neo-liberalism based on the logic of information and market competition around the world and the bailout crisis of the international Monetary Fund nationwide. Paradoxically, the popular use of historical-folklore contents was triggered as a part of efforts to overcome the ‘humanity crisis’ in the context of social pragmatism. In order to analyze the trend of popularization of historical-folklore contents, it is necessary focus on the establishment of cultural contents infrastructure to utilize the history and culture of the traditional era. For those businesses, there are 「Knowledge Information Resource management Project」 (Ministry of Information and Communication․National Information Society Agency, 1999~ ), 「The Cultural Resource Digital Contents Development Program」 (Ministry of Culture and Tourism․Korea Culture Contents Agency, 2002~ ), 「The Digital Local Culture Encyclopedia of Korea」 (The Academy of Korean Studies, 2004~ ). The ‘Cultural Archetype Project’ which was proposed by the Korean Culture Contents Agency under Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2002, to make use of digital technology and make it more competitive as a creative material for the development of the cultural industry, it became a catalyst for the creation of historical-folklore contents. The field of historical-folklore contents need efforts to re-establish academic disciplines such as establishing scholarship, seeking methodology and theory. In order for the public to have high-quality contents, the university should produce outstanding individuals who can make the contents. In other words, it is necessary to develop a professional and systematic research education curriculum. The public’s perception on history is produced through contents such as movies, cartoons, or games and they perceive those contents as real historical fact. It can lead the public to understand wrong history. To correct this, it is the responsibility of historians to create a circumstances that emphasizes the importance of history when they produce historical-folklore contents. Additionally, they should continuously consider how to coexist excessive commercialization and pure academy. The efforts to popularize historical-folklore contents will not only be limited to the revival of the humanities itself and the cultural contents industry, but also be a creative process that will create a new value orientation for the entire society and be an opportunity to create a new historical-folklore and humanities in the 21st century at the same time.
