ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to find out the aspects of conflict expressed in Byengangsoega from the cultural perspective. The results are as below. There are three representative conflicts in the Byengangsoega. The first is the conflict between Gangsoe/Ongnyeo and rural community society. The second is that of between Gangsoe and Jangseung(Korean traditional totem pole at the entrance of village). The third is that of between Gangsoe and the nomadic people. Gangsoe and Ongnyo are the poor, appeared from the process of differentiation of hierarchy of rural community in the late Josun dynasty. They are the people who revealed the contradiction of social system. The reason why they showed the deviant sexuality is that the rural community substitutes its contradiction for the personal ethics matter. The conflict between Gangsoe and Jangseung is the conflict between Gangsoe who is expelled from the community and the rural community society. The last conflict is that of the people between the nomadic whom Ongnyeo lured to have a funeral of Gangsoe and dead Gangsoe. In this study the body of Gangsoe is considered to be Jangseung. Gangsoe became the Jangseung after death. So that the nomadic are disciplined by Jangseung. It means that they are disciplined by the rural community society that is the substitute of Gangsoe’s dead body.
