고정희 초기시에 나타난 실존의식 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to look back on the ‘consciousness of existence’ that appeared in Goh Jung-hee’s early poetry and to solidify the development process of the poetic world. As is well known, the discussion of Goh Jung-hee was centered on late poetry with the evaluation that she was a 'pioneer of feminist literature'. Accordingly, early poetry is placed as a part and limit of the process to advance to the later period. However, it is important to keep in mind that early poetry is the ‘starting point’ of Goh Jung-hee’s poetic world. Therefore, this paper approached with a focus on ‘consciousness of existence’ while distanced from ‘Minjung’ and ‘Women’, who can be said to be the core of Goh Jung-hee’s poetic world. As directly mentioned by Goh Jung-hee, the early poetry deals with the problem of existence. Although there has been a mention of this, there has been relatively little discussion in earnest. This paper first examines the background of Goh Jung-hee’s formation of consciousness of existence and then examines ‘transcendental recognition’ and its practice as a concrete aspect.
