Abstract

This study examines how Korea’s National Intangible Heritage system influences community agency and proposes community participation–based operational directions for sustainable transmission. By comparing Gijisi Juldarigi (Tug-of-war of Gijisi) and Mueul Pungmul, it examines how different modes of institutional intervention produce divergent pathways in the contextualization of performance and the formation of archetypes. The findings suggest that community-led participatory structures can strengthen the authenticity and resilience of intangible heritage.

Keywords

본고는 국가무형유산 제도가 공동체의 주체성에 미친 영향을 고찰하고 지속가능한 전승을 위한 공동체 참여 기반의 운영 방향을 제시한다. 이를 위해 기지시줄다리기와 구미 무을농악을 비교하여 제도의 개입 방식이 무형유산의 맥락과 전형 형성에 어떠한 차이를 만들어내는지 분석하며, 공동체 주도적 참여 구조가 무형유산의 진정성과 회복력을 강화할 수 있음을 시사한다.
