| Description | Engaging the youth in the safeguarding and promotion of intangible cultural heritage has been a priority for intangible cultural heritage experts in the Republic of South Korea. In the present research, I therefore seek to briefly examine the issue of youth engagement in Korean intangible cultural heritage system through the lens of critical theory of youth engagement. By examining current programs developed and implemented for, with and by the youth, I would like to identify the dynamics that inform the engagement of young people in the safeguarding and promotion of Korean intangible cultural heritage. Among many other things, I argue that, the youth-adult relationship significantly influences both the operation and outcome of the existing programs. And in a broader sense, such evolving relationship should be understood as manifestation of the symbolic dynamics currently informing the operation of intangible cultural heritage system in the Republic of South Korea as well as the expected outcomes of intangible cultural heritage safeguarding and promotion. | ||
