金鑢 문학의 미의식

Abstract

Kim Ryo was a talented writer. He was almost a full-time writer. Practically, he had never expressed his thoughts on moral philosophy or argued with other scholars regarding that matter. This upright man just had concentrated on writing and collecting pieces for his whole life. His life as a fierce writer, rather than an ideal neo-Confucian scholar decided the types and content of his literature. This will be explained at the next chapter that deals with the aesthetic sense in his literature. He has created literature work based on his intuition, literary theory of ‘jeong(情),’ and keen sensitivity. The scope of Kim's literature consist of reflecting the rusticity in aesthetic consciousness, realizing aesthetic sense of satire and eroticism, and expressing tragic beauty. His aesthetic sense in all his literature begins with humanism. In other words, his creation consciousness in most of the pieces contains humanism. The scope of the aesthetic in his literature mentioned earlier is the same. When it comes to a subject, the key of Kim's literature is the way of human approaching to the isolated group of people. his attention and affection for the isolated woman, lower class people, and butchers who were the lowest level is continuously found in his literature. Futhermore, he claimed that all the people are equal. Because his aesthetic consciousness in the literature is based on humanism, his work is more valuable. To research of aesthetic sense only for an aesthetic study without writer's own themes or creation intentions is risky as it can become a superficial research without inner contents. The overall expression technique in his poems is a realistic description. It is a result of his strong will to describe his work more detailed and realistically. It is also a huge achievement of his literature aesthetic study. One of the reasons that Kim Ryo could use the realistic description is because he properly used annotations. When we read his poems with annotations, we can figure out his career and concept of the work better and more concretely. In this article, the overall concept of Kim's aesthetic sense in the literature was covered. Based on this, I hope that kim and his group would be aesthetically verified in future.
