본 연구는 대중 친화적인 미야자키 하야오(宮崎駿)의 〈이웃집 토토로〉(1988)의 분석을 통해 주인공 토토로 캐릭터의 정체성에 새로운 시각을 제시하는 연구다. 이것은 기존의 정령인 오바케로서 토토로의 정체성에 대한 다양한 의심에서 출발하였고 본고는 이를 바탕으로 논의를 이끌게 되었다. 첫 번째 의심은 정령으로서 토토로의 능력에 대한 의심이며 두 번째 의심은 마을의 수호 정령으로서 토토로의 행위-태도에 대한 의심이고 마지막은 오바케 토토로와 작품의 특성과 수용 관계 안에서 일반적으로 통용되는 방식에 대한 문제를 제기하면서 본논의를 진행 시켰다.BR 위의 연구를 위해 작중 토토로의 샤먼적 행위가 중심이 되는 이야기 전개와 이미지를 주요 근거로 삼고 위에서 제기된 의심들과 문제의 답을 일본의 샤먼적 특징...

Many shamans are adamant in rejecting the term religion in connection with their practices and choose broader rubrics when describing what they believe in. When shamanism was approved as an official religion by the Norwegian government in 2012, the tensions ran high, and many...
