관리합리성 관점에서 본 문화예술교육 과제

초록

For the last 10 years, the culture & arts education has been rapidly extended in Korea. The issues relating to it have been generally dealt with in the artistic views. This paper tries to explore culture & arts education from the perspective of social theory and to suggest its social meaning based on the 'practical interest'(praktische Interesse). For the purpose, it introduces the notions of 'governmental rationality' by Foucault and 'cultural public sphere' by Habermas. As a collective mentality, the governmental rationality focuses on individuals as an object whose capabilities should be strengthened. Regarding this concern, it develops various tactics, methods and techniques which aim to shape and guide their wishes, attitudes and activities. Cultural public sphere functions as a place for private individuals to transform into the public. The notions provide meaningful tools for the examination on the culture & arts education. The education represents governmental rationality in Korea society, which tries to achieve social changes by affecting individuals' thoughts, attitudes and activities. It also concerns the public who has self-control ability to contribute for the changes. From the point of view, the culture & arts education is not only artistic practice but also social practice. Therefore, many issues around the education, it argues, should be re-explored from the social-theoretical perspective and suggestions for it should be conceived relating to the governmental rationalty.
