데이터로 본 판소리의 性 인지 체계: 신재효本을 중심으로

Abstract

This study analyzes the sexual cognitive system in pansori works using Shin Jae-hyo’s pansori texts as the research subject. To that end, I first extracted excerpts of sexual expressions from Shin Jae-hyo’s pansori texts such as Chunhyang-ga(NamChang), Simcheong-ga, Bak-Taryeong, Tobyol-ga, Jeokbyeok-ga, and Byeongangsoe-ga. Then, I input them on a sentence-by-sentence basis with metadata including the speaker (narrator), target of description, related characters, works, and excerpts. As a preliminary step for the quantitative analysis, I performed morphological analysis and preprocessing on the data entered in the text column. This made the language of the pansori texts suitable for digital analysis tools with the input of new information or stop words into the user dictionary.
 Three analyses were attempted using the data extracted from Shin Jae-hyo’s pansori texts. First, basic statistical analysis was conducted to visualize which work had the most occurrences of sexual expressions and to examine the frequency of speaker-description target pairs when sexual expressions were uttered and their targets. Second, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling was performed to extract topics from a large collection of documents. Third, I used co-occurrence word analysis to reveal the semantic network of words constituting sexual expressions.
 The findings revealed that the sexual cognitive system in pansori works is based on “deviation and return.” That is, while enjoying pansori, one can realize that forbidden desires are, indeed, common desires and can satisfy sexual fantasies. However, such desires should not persist beyond exceptional circumstances and should ultimately be concealed and transformed to abide byto societal norms. Listening to and reading pansori involves repeatedly deviating from and returning to sexuality as a theme that persists throughout the whole story.
