Folk tale involves the history and culture of the people complexly and the narrative structure completed through oral tradition for a long time holds interesting elements. The folk tale has a creative competence and its potential is found through fusion and reproduction with various fields. Also, folk tale is utilized as contents for various contents by repeating expansion toward the other industrial fields.
In rapidly changing trends and technical developments, the history and culture contents based on such folk tale takes a role as contents suitable for the globalization requiring the most universal and Korean style. Also, the history and cultural arts are enjoyed as a national growth engine in actualizing the past by combining culture, art, space, emotion, and mood instead of repeating the history and tradition. Furthermore, the folk tale-based history and culture contents have potential to globalize Korean contents and create profits. However, in development of the folk tale-based history and culture contents industry, only events are flooding due to unorganized performance process and lack of purpose. In addition, Korean dances hold the history and emotions of each ethnic group or region and they have the driving force to develop into the global contents as non-verbal arts. Nevertheless, the research and development of Korean dances as history and culture contents are slow under the name of preserving the original form and tradition.
In response, this study analyzed the local festivals utilizing local folk tales and cases of history and culture contents in other fields to suggest the implications as history and culture contents. Then, this study researched on the history and culture contents cases in Korean dances focusing on Jinju Sword Dance and Miryang Sword Dance and suggested utilization method for history and culture contents in Korean dances.
First of all, it’s necessary to find local folk tales with interesting topics and to develop educational contents for understanding the folk tales and enhancing the pride.
Secondly, the Korean dances needs to be made as extensive history and culture contents instead of preserving the original form by combining the folk tales, tangible cultural arts, intangible cultural arts, and contents involving trend and sociality through fusion with other industries adequately.
Third, there should be cooperation with tourism industry applied with cultural heritages holding geographic strength of beautiful natural sceneries. As the specialized personnel from the national dance companies in each region cooperate with tourism industry and cities as the subject of history and culture contents, they would contribute in the globalization as continuous history and cultural contents.
Korean dances are non-verbal and composite arts holding ethnicity and history. As history and culture contents with locality, the dances hold high possibility in expanding the potentials of the ethic group’s cultural arts. This study seeks to contribute in constructing the organized history and culture contents system for Korean dances and revitalizing the industries related to cultural arts including Korean dances.
