metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper analyzes literary works that allow one to trace the changes in the perception of shaman
  cult in various periods of Korean social development and sheds light on the popularity of
  shaman motive in the 21st century. In Kim Tonni’s “Portrait of a shaman” (1936), the conflict between traditional and Western beliefs is shown through the image of a shaman woman symbolizing
  the ignorant Korean past and her son who converted to Christianity. Han Seungwon
  in his novels, uses the motive of the call for blood of those people possessed by ghosts and
  describes shamans’ life, traditions, and rituals. Shaman rituals are also described in the works
  of Park Wanseo. In her childhood memories, shaman women are depicted as transcendental
  beings tied to the other world. Epic novels by Park Kyongni, Cho Chongnae, Choi Myunghee
  describe the life of ordinary villagers against the backdrop of historical events. The main character
  is usually a shaman or her daughter in a love relationship. Shaman motive is also present
  in some novels written in the 21st century, in which main characters believe in spirits and shamans’
  prophecies coming true. This implies that the belief in spirits is an inseparable part of
  Korean cultural identification, even for those who claim to be an atheist. Because shamanism
  in Korea is perceived as an important part of culture, the interest in shamans and shamanism
  continues to grow.
