Abstract

In most of Jeju's village-myths, two gods (especially gods and goddesses) in the same village or village temple are separated by 'impurity of pork', specially called 'Dotgoki-impuriry'. In this paper, the author examines the meanings and functions of Dotgoki-impurity in Jeju-city and Jo-chun myun's village-myths, based on the reationships between the geographical feature, the characteristic of village god/ goddess, and the usage of Dotgoki-impurity. After analyzing the village-myths' inner structure and the general taboos on warnen in Jeju island, the author concludes that there are two main functions in Dotgoki-impuriry used in myths. First, Dotgoki-impurity was used ideologically to strengthen the sex discrimination among the village members. Second, Dotgoki-impunty in myths helped to inherit the taboo effectively among the female villagers for the practical uses.
