무용언어의 기표, 기의 간극의 표현을 위한 연구방법론 고찰

Abstract

As dance is an instrument of expressing one’s emotion, it exists almost every society in various forms. It is also an aesthetic art form to allow to feel and express emotion of which more magnificent range than when it is in everyday life. Dance is able to deliver various and rich feeling because it expresses and stimulates emotion with human body through perception of multiple senses, but it is hardly explained with one definite word. Dancer shows the intention through the movement, which is consist of her/his inner experience and the audience sees the long process of dancer’s embodiment even though it is covered by codified movements. Therefore, this study begins with interrogation of how well interpret the expression intention which involves dancer’s inner experience that cannot explain with clear words and moreover, how to document such a subjective feeling and experience with socialised objective language in dance study. Dance reveals aspecific process within semiotic because its image through which enculturated human movement, pervades with social and cultural codes. Therefore, this study analyses the relationship between language and dance using associated with semiotics in that dance posits the exterior movement as signifiant and its interior embodied long process as signifié. This study aims to discuss the potential of various dance studies with suggestion of proper methodology to argue dancer’s indefinite inner experience to reveal semiotic function of dance. This study considers that Firstly, to analyse how dancer and audience communicate, it discusses kinesthetic empathy throughout a dance performance. Secondly, dance movement as significant, it depicts the notion of truth in the text, which dance study uses, to explore proper methodology based on the criterion of the postmodernism through its epistemology and ontology. Finally, it explains the destruction of hypothetic binary within the relationship of dancer and audience to proposes methodologies to deliver dancer’s a sort of signifiéspace and its value to document with seemingly objective texts.
