P'ansori is the quintessential traditional Korean musical drama, in
which epic tales are sung and narrated by a solo singer accompanied
by a drummer. Drawing on her extensive research in Korea and its
diasporas, Haekyung Um describes and analyses the creative
processes of p'ansori, weaving into her discussion musical, social
and cultural aspects that include the evolution of p'ansori
performance, origins and historical development, textual and
musical materials, stylistic features of different p'ansori
schools, transmission of knowledge, aesthetics, and changing
interpretations of tradition. Also explored is the complexity of
historical and contemporary influences that give shape to p'ansori
as a 'living tradition' across the ages and into the present, and
as a cultural icon with an enduring narrative and emotional impact.
Social, economic and political dynamics are created in the nexus of
traditional feudal values, colonial modernity and nationalism. The
impact of aspects of late modernity such as technology, mass media,
migration and globalization, has transported p'ansori into digital
and transnational domains. By bringing all these creative and
contextual processes together, Haekyung Um explains how a tradition
is created, maintained and redefined by the dynamic interactions of
agents, values, meanings, strategies, identities and artistic
hybridity.
