A Study on the ‘Image of the Future’ in Modern Korean Poetry

A Study on the ‘Image of the Future’ in Modern Korean Poetry

김수영 시의 리듬 연구

This paper is a study on the rhythm consciousness in Kim Soo-young’s poetry, as a preliminary work to identify the rhythm of his poetry. In particular, it is intended to clarify that ‘speed’ is the main gateway to understanding the modernity of rhythm consciousness in his poetry. To put it simply, ‘speed’ in his poetry appears in three major layers. First, ‘speed’ is the main characteristic of the reality of the time that represents the uniqueness of Korean society in the 1950s and 1960s. Second, ‘speed’ reveals the energy and direction of his poetic thought. It explains how the two vectors of ‘freedom’ and ‘sorrow’ can coexist. Third, ‘speed’ is a major indicator of the aesthetic value of his poetic speech. In general the repetition and segmentation of lines in poetry accelerates or decelerates the speed of reality and thoughts. This change in speed is what weaves the unique texture and stream of the rhythm of his poetry.
 To clarify this, in chapter 2, Kim Soo-young’s perception and attitude toward ‘the speed of civilization’ will be compared with that of Kim Ki-rim. In chapter 3, I will examine the unique view of time inherent in ‘speed’ and clarify that it is in contact with ‘Time of Kairos’. In chapter 4, I will confirm that the difference in tempo according to the length of the execution is the main index to measure the ‘speed’ of poetic speech. The contribution of his poetry to the development of modern poetry is not small in that the critical consciousness of the world and the self is expressed in everyday language and achieves an outstanding aesthetic achievement. In this context, it can be said that the ‘speed’ he tried to realize in free verse and prose poetry diverges the new archetype of modern Korean poetry.

Creative Writing Class Module using the Metaphorical form of Modern Poetry－Focusing on Non-identity and Activating a Living Metaphor

This study, as a class study to enhance creative writing ability among students, tried to use the operation method of ‘living metaphor’. In this process, this study presented a class module and applied it in the classroom to review its achievements and limitations. The problem with existing studies that usually connect ‘metaphor’ with ‘writing education’ is that they accept too lightly the universal concept of metaphor and apply it to classes. This study tried to pay attention to the concept of ‘living metaphor’ that highlights ‘difference and non-identity’, rather than the ‘concept of metaphor’ that has been connected to ‘similarity’ without any review. This is because the metaphor entails a structure of thinking that can trigger novelty and creativity. In this process, this study focused on the concepts of metaphor and diaphor, which were noted in the theory of poetry and the theory of poetry creation. In addition, Korean modern poetry, which is being created as of late, was used as a reference material and as a module for the class. Through this process, this study confirmed that creative expression and logical commentary are possible by using the corresponding class module. In addition, this study confirmed that such a class module can lead to self-concept and identity exploration beyond simply creating creative expressions.

한국 현대시단에 나타난 『주역』

This paper explored how the Book of Changes can communicate with the public and what role it can play through the analysis of how the Book of Changes has been dealt with in modern Korean poetry. Contemporary poetry, which is intended to be covered in this paper, targets poetry books, prose books, and commentary books published by modern Korean poets in the 2010-2020s, especially focusing on the works of Jang Seok-ju, Lee Young-shin, Oh Jung-hwan and Ahn Soo-hwan. This paper explores how the difficulty of the Book of Changes, which is often considered a major obstacle to understand, is understood and interpreted by poets. In particular, the symbols of the Book of Changes let poets experience meeting the object with an open mind away from their ignorance, prejudice, and stereotypes, and in the process, the symbols of it were organically linked to each other and expanded to a new meaning about our daily lives and relationships. Next, this paper analyzes whether the principle of the Book of Changes can still have a meaning for the public in contemporary culture. In modern Korean poetry, it has been examined that the principles of the Book of Changes are embodied as “body” poems that lead to new reflections on life crisis, life, and death in the process of experiencing with the poet's “body”, suggesting poetic sensitivity as a part of great vitality in the principle of organic circulation.

중국인 학습자의 한국 현대시 읽기 불안감과 불안 요인에 대한 연구 - 중국 내 고급 한국어 학습자를 대상으로 -

This study focuses on advanced learners who are learning contemporary Korean poetry in China, and identifies the characteristics of their anxiety in reading modern Korean poetry, revealing the factors that cause anxiety, and identifies the pattern of anxiety regarding poetry reading according to various learner variables under each factor. The purpose of this study is to derive educational proposals necessary for the education of contemporary Korean poetry in China. In this study, 34 undergraduate students and 20 graduate students, a total of 54 learners, were selected as subjects in the Korean language department at Dalian University of Foreign Languages, China, and their anxiety in reading modern Korean poetry was measured through questionnaires and post-interviews. As a result of the study, a total of six factors of anxiety were extracted, and the pattern of the anxiety, according to learner variables under each anxiety factor, was examined. Additionally, the level of anxiety in Chinese learners’ reading poetry was divided into three categories of ‘severe-moderate-mild anxiety’, and whether there was a difference in the level of anxiety felt by learners, according to the level of anxiety within the six factors of anxiety, was measured. Finally, through multiple regression analysis, factors of anxiety affecting reading anxiety in modern poetry were examined. (Dalian University of Foreign Languages)

구연식 시에 나타난 감각이미지

Gu Yeon-sik’s second collection of poems, Senses , creates unique and diverse images by combining lyrical and emotional images with surreal techniques. In particular, this collection of poems is an important resource in that it shows the process of transformation from Korean surrealist poetry to lyrical poetry in various ways since the 1970s. Nevertheless, until now, it has received little attention from academia due to the limitations of regional literature. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine an aspect of Korean modern poetry since the 1970s through the poetic world of Gu Yeon-sik’s. The characteristic of this collection of poems is sensibility images, which are clearly expressed through the visual images of typography, surreal transformation, and the extensibility and transcendence of images. First of all, typography, a visually unique form of expression, is a form of ‘dada’, which visually arranges the structure of a poem or uses language as a sign, such as pun, to create meaning and content sensibly. And the languages of sensibility images are being transformed into abstract images by making the poetic flow difficult or deconstructing the symbols or meanings inherent in language through methods such as objects, dépaysement, and automatic description methods. In other words, in the process of concrete situations or objects being shaped into poetry, abstract images are created by combining with surreal methodologies, which ‘create’ and ‘deconstruct’ another image or meaning at the same time. In other words, the attitude to become infinitely free from the fixed meaning of the idea of objects or characters is creating an abstract image. Lastly, in the ‘Top (17)’ series, the lyrical and symbolic image of the tower is embodied by a surreal technique, thereby creating expanded and transcendent images. In other words, the lyrical images of waiting and longing, which are the symbolic meanings of the tower, merge with the surreal technique to create a grotesque and new form of poetry. Therefore, the sensibility image that appeared in Gu Yeon-sik’s poetry was created by adding surreal techniques to lyrical images, and this study could not only confirm the characteristics of Gu Yeon-sik’s poetry, but also examine the unique poetic form of Korean modernist poetry after the 1970s.

A Study on Cultural Vocabulary Analysis of Korean Modern Poetry Texts - Focused on Kim Sowol Corpus -

본 연구는 시 텍스트의 어휘에 문화 코드를 부여하는 방안을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 분석 대상은 한국현대시코퍼스 (KoPoCo) 에 수록된 ｢김소월 코퍼스｣이다. 문화분류코드는 HRAF 파일의 두 가지 분류 코드 중 OCM 분류 체계를 기준으로 하였다. ｢김소월 코퍼스｣에 문화 코드를 부여하는 과정은 다음과 같이 진행되었다. 먼저 HRAF의 코드를 김소월 시 텍스트의 주제에 부여하였다. 다음으로 시 텍스트의 제목에 HRAF 분류 코드를 부여하였다. 마지막으로 시 텍스트의어휘 단위에 HRAF 문화분류 코드를 부여하였다. 그리고 ｢진달래꽃｣, ｢길｣, ｢초혼｣을 예로 들어 문화 코드가 부여된 양상을 살피었다. 본 연구는 문화인류학에서 전 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 HRAF 분류 체계를 활용하여 시 텍스트의 문화어휘 분석을 시도하였다. 시를 통해 문화 간 연구에 기초자료를 제공하고, 한국 문학교육에서의 실질적인 활용의근거를 마련했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.This study would seek a new methodology to draw out cultural items from poetry texts. For this purpose, this study concretely investigated measures for assigning cultural classification codes to vocabulary in poetry texts. The text to be analyzed was “Kim So-wol Corpus,” included in Analysis “Korean Modern Poetry Corpus(KoPoCo)”, published by the Academy of Korean Studies. The cultural classification code refers to the OCM classification system by number code among the two classification codes in the HRAF file. It was assigned to “Kim Sowol Corpus” through the following process. First, the code of HRAF was assigned to the subject of the poetry text of Kim Sowol. Next, the HRAF classification code was assigned to the title of the poetry text. Finally, HRAF cultural classification codes were assigned to the vocabulary of poetry texts. In addition, examples of how cultural classification codes were assigned in “Azalea”, “Road”, and “Ivocation” were examined in detail.

This study notes the affinity that exists between poetry and popular songs which can be useful to poetry reading education and conducted an experiment to observe how advanced learners read modern Korean poetry using popular songs. In accordance with their reading patterns, this study seeks an effective way to teach students modern Korean poetry. Poetry is considered difficult to access due to ambiguity and connotation, while popular songs are easily understood by simple language and repetitive structure which are different from poetry. However, these two genres have links in visible aspects such as poetic language, subject matter, rhythm, format and structure, so that learners can react with these links and read poetry more independently. The positive role of popular songs in the learners’ poetry reading process can be seen in Korean learners’ reading patterns. The learners supplemented or modified their understanding of poetry through connecting the poetry and songs, and their understanding could be deepened when they analyzed the differences between them. Furthermore, they reconstructed the meaning of poetry in their own context. According to the result of experiment, this study raises a few suggestions which will enhance the effectiveness of modern Korean poetry reading education using popular songs.

한국어 초급 학습자를 위한 문학 교육 방안 연구 - 시 텍스트를 중심으로

이 연구는 기존 외국인을 대상으로 하는 한국 문학 교육이 중・고급 학습자를 중심으로 진행되고 있다는 점과 작품의 이해와 감상 즉 수용에 중심을 두고 진행되고 있다는 점을 한계로 본다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 한국어 초급 학습자를 위한 한국 문학 수업 모형을 제안한 후, 초급 학습자가 문학 작품을 생산할 수 있는 단계까지 나아갈 수 있음을 확인해 보고자 한다.BR 이를 위한 첫 단계로 연구자가 재직 중인 한국어 교육 기관 연수반에 재학중인 초급 학습자를 대상으로 시 텍스트를 활용하여 문학 교육을 실시한다. 두번째 단계에서 문학 교육의 성과를 제시하고 세 번째 단계에서 결과물 활용 방안을 마련한다. 더불어 이상의 연구를 한국어 초급 학습자를 대상으로 하는 문학 교육의 필요성에 대한 근거로 제시한다.BR 한편 초급 학습자를 대상으로 한국 문학 교육을 진행하기 위해서는 한국 문학 정전 구축, 문학 교재 개발, 문학 교육을 담당할 전문 교원의 확보, 정확한 평가의 기준 마련 등의 다양한 조건이 충족되어야 한다. 따라서 향후 한국어 교육 현장에서 이러한 조건들이 확보될 수 있기를 기대한다.
