The Characteristics of Korean Movement Communication Evident in Traditional Korean DanceMal Borg Kim, Ph. D.Professor of DanceEwha Womans UniversityThis paper aims to study the characteristics of Korean movement communication found in traditional korean dance. It also forms a part of the program to study the communication phenomena in the everyday life of korean society. For this purpose, the korean thought of communication is examined in comparison with the western ideas of communication. Also the structure and the methodological characteristics of korean nonverbal communication is surveyed in contrast with the western style. And traditional korean dance is looked into to find out that the characteristics of korean culture and the confucian ideolology of communication is reflected in the motions and the movement communication of traditional korean dance.The symbolic characteristics of basic movement manner in traditional korean dance is explained as ?guyong (nine attitudes)? which was the ideal movement manners for the confucian scholar in the chosun era. And it is proved that the communication of korean dance is reciprocal in nature. In traditional korean society, dance functions as the center where the audience and the dancer meets at the intersection and find the consensus of mind through dance.In 1960s, korean people discovered ?technology, idea and desire? as the medium to seek the materialistic value. These three concepts also come in the spotlight of dance stage as the central values. The ?new dance? of the 1960s take a serious view of creativity, expression and technique and worked on the context of western thought of communication. The trend of new dance of 1960s was the pursuit of objectivity and clarity of message which is the basic principle of western communication thought.

A Trend of Cultural Studies of Dance Initiated by Susan Leigh FosterHyun Jung Kim, Ph.D.LecturerSungkyunkwan University, Suwon University, and the Korean Natioinal University of the ArtsThis paper aims to explore how the critical issues of cultural studies have influenced the recent development of dance studies in the United States. Cultural studies is an umbrella term that includes theoretical approaches drawn from poststructuralism, postcolonialism, multiculturalism, contemporary Marxism, new historicism, semiotics, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, and feminism. Cultural studies, which investigates the natural as a social, cultural, historical construction, has strong effects on methodologies in dance field as well as the humanities. Susan Leigh Foster initiated a trend of interdisciplinary dance scholarship in 1986 and since then some scholars have facilitated it following the theoretical approaches of cultural studies. The dance scholars examine dance as an embodied social, cultural practice. They enable dance studies previously marginalized within the academy to be a major academic discipline. Dancing bodies as a primary text manifest or subvert meaning and identity.In South Korea, more and more universities have offered cultural studies programs. The interdisciplinary programs are based on art history, film studies, gender studies, popular culture, and mass media, not on dance field. Considering the stagnant situation of domestic dance academy, it is necessary to apply the debates of cultural studies to dance scholarship. Cultural studies opens up a possibility for dance scholarship to go into wider academic communities.
