고전문학 : 판소리 서사체의 주제에 대한 일고찰 = A Study on the Literary Theme of Pansori Narrative

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is necessary to give extra attention to study on literary theme of Pansori narrative differing from on other fields of Korean Classical literature. Because the concept of Pansori narrative implies `Pansori(being played)`, `Pansori Saseol(being presented by language)` and `Pansori Saseol as a textbook(being a textbook with changing process)`. So we should not argue generally with the idea such as the novel based on Pansori that the Pansori narrative have limited themes without concerning different versions. The understanding of the theme has been realized with answering demands of the times and the horizon of expectation by readers and audience, therefore each of the general participants, Yangban classes·Jungin classes and contemporary readers have their own understanding of the theme separately. Now I argue that we need an attitude to research themes with considering vary possibilities. Elements of the realization of the theme are consist of the attitude of the narrator, the character description, the development of complications and the process of closing. These elements have a high chance of reflecting the consciousness of readers and audience, so they make easy to figure out the times understanding of the theme and diachronic changes of the understanding of the theme. I conclude that we need to have a positive consideration for the elements and a proper reading for the message of Pansori in order to figure out the theme.
