ABSTRACT

This study aims at probing the characteristics and meaning of the works which were communicated in the political context. In the process, I intended to understand the works from the perspective of the aesthetics of showing and hiding as not only superficial meaning but also in-depth meaning is important in the political context. In particular, in political communication, it seems that public voice appears as the feature of public interest is emphasized for the group problems. Therefore, the structure of overlap layers in which the contents in relation to public interests emerge on the surface and individual meanings are concealed far below. <Anminga(安民歌)>,<Jajeonjigok(紫殿之曲)> and <Mundeokgok(文德 曲)>, which are communicated in the relationship between kings and servants, are chosen as research materials. <Anminga(安民歌)> has special contexts generated in the realistic tension relationship of conflict between a king and servants. Considering this, we assume that meaning is crystal-clear on the surface and the hidden side contains messages of strict warning toward servants in the work. For <Jajeonjigok(紫殿之曲)> and <Mundeokgok(文德曲)>, they are one of Akjangs(樂章) composed of contents to praise kings on the surface. At the same time, on the hidden side of praising kings, it appears that there is a kind of demand to be guaranteed the distribution of power and the participation in politics. Through this study, it seems that literature has the feature as utterance or writing to consider recipients and such attribute of communication and practice is highlighted, particularly in the phase of political communication. New perception and evaluation about the works, such as <Anminga(安民 歌)>,<Jajeonjigok(紫殿之曲)> and <Mundeokgok(文德曲)>, is likely to be possible with such an understanding.
