장자 『제물론(齊物論)』에 기반한 미국 포스트모던 댄스 미학의 인식 구조 연구

초록

This study examines the structure of aesthetic cognition in American postmodern dance based on the epistemological thought of the “on the equality of things” in Zhuangzi. To this end, it constructs an analytical model centered on the key concepts of Dotongwiil, Pisibangsaeng, Cheonroe, and Osanga, and analyzes the major aesthetic forms of American postmodern dance in terms of structures of judgment, boundary formation, sensory experience, and subject position. The analysis shows that the distinctions between art and non-art, and between dance and non-dance, are not fixed essences but relationally constituted outcomes of judgment. It also demonstrates that sensory experience can emerge prior to meaning-making, while displacing the traditionally central position of the judging subject. The aesthetic significance of American postmodern dance, therefore, lies not merely in presenting new forms, but in rendering visible and reconfiguring the structures that make aesthetic judgment and experience possible. This study thus reinterprets American postmodern dance from the perspective of transformation in aesthetic cognition.
