생태·문화적 환경 차이에 따른 몸짓 언어의 예술적 형상화 비교와 융합: 한국의 ‘산발·소복’과 UAE의 ‘알 아이알라’

Comparison and Convergence of Artistic Figuration of Body Language Based on Eco-Cultural Environmental Differences: Korean ‘Sanbal/Sobok’ and UAE ‘Al Ayyala’ Teaching Strategies to Reduce Speaking Anxiety in Adult Learners

This study analyzes the artistic figuration of contrasting body language between Korea and the UAE from an eco-cultural perspective to elucidate the ‘Hermeneutic Competence’ required in the 21st-century diplomatic security environment. In particular, it focuses on the phenomenon where ‘Sobok (white mourning attire) and Sanbal (unbound hair),’ symbolized as ‘death and resentment’ in Korea’s agrarian settlement society, appear as the pure white attire and unbound hair of ‘Na’ashat within the Al-Ayyala performance,’ representing ‘life and hospitality’ in the UAE’s desert nomadic society. Also, through the recent case of ‘President Lee Jae-myung’s State Visit Welcome Ceremony,’ this study reveals that this act—women breaking taboos under the protection of male ranks—can be culturally misperceived by Koreans as the ‘appearance of vengeful spirits’ or ‘collective funeral rites.’ Furthermore, this study convergently applies Lévi-Strauss’s structuralism, Levinas’s ethics of the Other, and the concept of ‘High-dignity Signal’ reinterpreted from Fearon’s signaling theory. Through this theoretical framework, it demonstrates the process by which visual conflicts are sublimated into a ‘Supersign.’ Consequently, this study is significant in proposing a new model of convergent public diplomacy that creates ‘hermeneutic security assets’ through the convergence of heterogeneous body languages.
