A Narrative Inquiry on the Cultural Enjoyment of Curator : Focused on Pierre Bourdieu’s Cultural Capital Theory

This study focused on curator, judged that it was necessary as a qualitative study because there was a lack of research on curators, who are professionals in the museum. Therefore, the study was started from the perspective of reflective thinking to explore the meaning of cultural enjoyment of curators. In this study, preliminary research and in-depth interviews were conducted with two curators with more than 10 years of practical experience in museums and art galleries. The stories of the study participants were divided into temporal, spatial, and personal/social dimensions, and through interviews, the meanings of 'the past when cultural enjoyment began', 'the elements necessary for cultural enjoyment', 'the driving force to actively enjoy cultural', and 'the experience of applying cultural enjoyment to museum education' could be derived. The narrative derived through these research results was interpreted focusing on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital. Through this, it is hoped that the curator will be used as a material to help understand the human resources.
