가사의 향유방식 변천 연구

Abstract

My thesis aims to examine the cause of the changes in the form of Kasa. with this purpose, I largely devided the formal elements of Kasa into two different categories. First, into exterior elements of meter which include title, stanza, length. Second, into interior elements of meter which include ending rule, feet, syllables. these various elements were transformed with the passing of time. the main purpose of my thesis is to show that the transformation of these various elements was brought by the changes in the performative modes. the process of losing musicality can be explained as the primary phase of the change in the performative modes. therefore, my thesis will also examine the relevance between the Kasa's form and its musicality. The performative modes of poetic genre can be devide into three cetegpries - kachang, umyong and wandok - by the degrees of their musicality. Kachang is a form of singing to an accompaniment of instruments and a complex tune which is fixed irrespectively to the differences of performers. Umyong is a form of recitement to a simple melody which is variable in accordance with the differences of performers. wandok is a form of reading based on the metrical rhythm without the melody attached to kachang and umyong. the musicality decreases accordingly as the performative maoes are changed from Kachang to wandok. And the musicality approaches 0 degree if the mode arrives at wandok. Theoretically all of these modes can be used when performing poetic genres form different periods. However, In an actual performance in which a specific genre from a specifis period is performed, only one out of the three modes is used. While the former may be called a 'potential mode', and the latter may be called an 'actualized made'. The changes in the performative mode not only changed the formal elements of Kasa but also changed the characteristics of the Kasa's genre. In the beginning Kasa started out as a mere song, of which the characteristics were similar to that of an oral literature. As time passed, it parted from the oral characteristics and established itself as a kind of poetry, a complete form of a written literature. the basic condition in which a specific poetic genre becomes established as a written poetry completely detached from music. Conversely it can also be said that the standardized form is a sign of the changes in the characteristics of poetic genre.
