A Study on the TransIdentity Character of Pansori Narrative for Convergence Korean Traditional Music Education

Objectives This study focused on the concept of 'trans identity' as an alternative to convergent education for traditional music.The pansori narrative has a concept of 'trans identity' in which identity is transformed, which is expanded from a standardized figure figure according to the circumstances of the times and is implemented in various styles. The purpose of this study is to understand the pansori narrative and seek its value as traditional content by examining the figures of characters appearing in pansori and the character representation of the concept of 'trans identity'. Methods Among the five pansori layers, the characteristics and concepts of Chunhyangga, Jeokbyeokga, Heungboga, and Shimcheongga, excluding Sugungga, were considered, and the characteristics and examples of transidentity characters according to characters and narratives were considered.In addition, the difference in the type of process that is changed from the existing character was compared. Results The male and female protagonists in Chunhyangga show characteristics that transcend identity, and Jeokbyeokga shows anguish among the emotions of men and humans through actions centered on male characters.Heungboga shows a change in identity due to environmental reasons, not individual will, while Shimcheongga shows a change through self-realization in which the heroine tries to change the environment directly, Conclusions Pansori narratives, which have both narrative and musical essence, are an important topic in trans-identity research because they have expandability according to character transformation.The concept of transidentity and case studies shown in Pansori are of sufficient value as convergent Korean classical music education, and various studies can be expected in the future.
