Lee-Niinioja, Hee Sook. 2019. “The ‘Arirang’ Folksong as the Emotional Unison Between the Past and the Future in the Korean Peninsular.” In Traditional Music and Dance in Contemporary Culture(s), edited by Jana Ambrózová and Bernard Garaj. Nitra: Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra.
My paper discusses the relationship between Arirang and its emotions through the 600 years of history as an asset of intangible cultural heritage. It also suggests a medium for better dialogues between two Koreas due to the common emotions, recommending new ways of presenting Arirang with a view towards unification.
