The Genealogy of Korean Modernism in Poetry: Focus on Translations of W. B. Yeats

This article describes the generational perspectives revealed in the views of three Korean poets, representing three generations of poetic circles, through their appropriations of the Irish poet W. B. Yeats, who experienced colonial rule as they did. Within the history of modern Korean poetry, Kim Ŏk (b. 1896) stands as a representative of the 1920s, Kim Kirim (b. 1908) of the 1930s, and Kim Suyŏng (1921–1968) of the postcolonial years, especially the 1960s. Though different in their styles and perspectives, they shared the roles of poet, literary critic, and translator and were flagship figures in their respective eras. Looking into the works and poetics of these three poets is tantamount to exploring the history of modern Korean poetry spanning the period between the 1920s and 1960s. Drawing on the fact that all three poets were interested in translating and interpreting Yeats, this article aims to trace the genealogy of Korean modernist poetry by exploring the generational differences in their views on poetry through their mediation of Yeats.

中韓近現代詩對牛郎織女故事的接受情況硏究 : 以障礙物和助力物爲中心

The purpose of this dissertation is to study the attitude to the fairy tale of cowherd and weaver girl in Chinese and Korean modern poetry centering on obstacles and facilitators.BR First of all, this paper studies the attitude to the common obstacle “Milky Way” in the modern poetry of China and Korea. Obstacles mean that they hinder the development of something. Through the study, we can know that in the modern poetry of China and Korea, the “MilkyWay” is not only has the traditional meaning of blocking the love between men and women, but also has the new meanings of feudalism and class-consciousness, division and so on that obstacles to equality and love under the background of the era of China and Korea.BR The third chapter centers on the facilitators which try to break the barriers and studies the application of facilitators in the modern poetry of China and Korea from two aspects: Realizing the directionality of the realization of meeting and the tendency of breaking through the lonely waiting. It can be said that China and Korea’s attitude to the obstacles is positive, and in a variety of ways. There are efforts to meet and fulfilling life in waiting. However, differences also exist. Most of the poems in China have romantic feelings, such as the power of the Weaver Maid and the yellow ox, and the Cowhand’s flute. And the Korean poetry is more based on the reality, such as building a bridge of unity, and feeding cattle by Cowhand. And the depiction of these facilitators contains a great deal of imagination, which makes the modern poetry have a great charm that is different from the ancient legends.

한국 현대시 읽기에서 나타난 학습자들의 반응양상 연구 - 독자반응 이론을 중심으로 -

한국어교육에서 문학 교육 특히 시 교육의 중요성이 논의 되면서 다양한 측면에서 연구가 이루어져왔다. 시 교육은 시 자체의 장르적 특성과 외국인 학습자들의 특성으로 인하여 교육 현장에서 여전히 어려운 과제로 간주된다. 하지만 시 교육에 있어서 외국인 학습자들의 언어적 한계에만 주목할 것이 아니라 그들이 지니고 있는 문화적 배경, 지식 등을 활용하면 한국 시 교육에 있어서 새로운 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 학습자들 즉 독자를 중요시하는 독자반응 이론을 중심으로, 중국인 고급 학습자들이 한국 현대시를 읽을 때 나타나는 양상에 대해 살펴보았다. 이를 통해 중국인 학습자들이 현대시를 읽으면서 어떤 면에 어떻게 반응하고 또한 어떤 부분에 어려움을 겪고 있는지 분석하였다. 그 결과 중국인 학습자들은 한국 현대시를 읽는 과정에서 무의식중에 모국 문학지식의 간섭과 영향을 받고 또한 본인의 정서적 요인의 영향을 받는다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이러한 영향은 학습자들의 한국 현대시 감상에 일정한 도움을 주기는 하나 반면 독자들의 한국 현대시에 반응하는데 부정적인 영향도 미친다. 아울러 학습자들의 시 읽기에서의 이러한 특징을 고려하고 이용한다면 한국 현대시 교육에 있어서 새로운 장이 열릴 것으로 기대된다.

of association on multiple levels of human experience. In other words, many of these poems speak directly to the body part as if it were a whole person and then continue to name and rename it metaphorically. For example, in “Ode to the Clitoris,” she begins: “Little eagerness; / flower-girl basket of soft thorn / and petal, near the entry of the satin / column of the inner aisle; / scout in the wilderness; wild ear / which perks up; tender dowser, which points.” Here, the clitoris is immediately transformed into the flower-girl basket brought to the wedding and the vagina to the inner isle where the union takes place. Then the clitoris becomes a messenger in a wilderness of sexual attraction, alerting and alerted, and then it becomes that which points to the waters of life—all in six lines. Of course, such full identification of heart and spirit with body poses implicit questions and considerations. What happens , as in Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich , when the same flesh of which we were proud and satisfied when we were young becomes the source of the greatest possible pain later in life? Do we sing it then? Does the spirit perish with the body, not as rider in the vehicle but as mere epiphenomenon? Olds’s poetry provokes these deliberations and others, at least in the reader; in her poems, the jury is still out. Fred Dings University of South Carolina The Colors of Dawn: Twentieth-Century Korean Poetry. Ed. Brother Anthony of Taizé & Chung Eun-Gwi. Honolulu. University of Hawai’i Press. 2016. 170 pages. Korea’s rapid ascent to first-world status in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries is astonishing. In addition to economic and political power, Korea offers the world a rich and vibrant culture, most often seen through Korean food, cinema, and pop music, or K-pop. Korean literature, however , as most recently illustrated in Han Kang’s 2016 Man Booker International Prize award for The Vegetarian, is following close behind. The Colors of Dawn: Twentieth-Century Korean Poetry is an instructive and wonderful point of entry into Korean poetry. The Colors of Dawn is a beautiful Mānoa volume, first printed in 2015 and then reprinted with corrections this year, augmented with delightful floral illustrations by Hye Woo Shin. Editors Chung Eun-Gwi and Brother Anthony of Taizé have selected poems from a wide landscape of modern Korean poetry and do most of the translations themselves. The forty-four poets are organized in three parts: “Poetry of Today,” “Survivors of War,” and “Founding Voices.” Rather than starting with past and moving to present, the editors start with the present because they see how these poets “speak for the present and foreshadow Korea’s future.” Indeed, these contemporary Korean poets are doing exactly what so many of today’s readers seek: “to find meaning and value in a world of consumerism , materialism, and self-interest.” For example, in “Extinction,” Jin Eun-young warns us: “the world is starting to tilt.” Song Kyung-Dong challenges our borders and the urge to homogenize: “It is morally wrong for me, / being such a borderless thing, to be obsessed with a single idea.” Finally, Choi Jeongrye deftly appropriates Shakespeare in “Shall Time’s Best Jewel from Time’s Chest Lie Hid?” An essential part of this anthology is the inclusion of so many poets across the span of Korea’s modernization. In part 2, “Survivors of War,” Ko Un’s ten untitled poems stand out as explorations of pain, persistence, and the power of poetry that transcends time. From “The Founding Voices,” Cheon Sangbyeong crafts stark poems whose meaning resides in the aftermath of the reading. I mention only several poets and poems here, but this collection is filled with beauty , intelligence, play, and pleasure. Brooke A. Carlson Chaminade University Eileen Chong. Painting Red Orchids. Sydney. Pitt Street Poetry. 2016. 77 pages. Eileen Chong identifies writing as “an act of recovery, of piecing together, of recording, re-ordering and re-inventing.” In Painting Red Orchids, her third collection, the poet scans the stormy dissonance of places populated by particular emotional weathers, and this short book of lyrical investigation is a virtuosic...
