개화기 시조의 國詩운동- 대한매일신보 소재 시조를 중심으로

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the rhetorical characteristics of sijo called Sajo in Daehanmaeilsinbo. Besides, the National Poetry Movement that served as a principle of literary ideologies for these sijo works is explored to determine how the ideological principle was actually realized in sijo, especially in Daehanmaeilsinbo, during the enlightenment time. Most of all, Cheonhidangsihwa, a review based on literary ideologies that was the most systematic summary of a series of streams that advocated the improvement of vulgar popular culture involving plays, hyangyo, and songs in the then newspapers and magazines, was analyzed to divide the theories of national poetry largely into two categories: First, the national poetry is the essence of national language and should be a verse form of the Korean words and language. Second, the national poetry needs to reject literally effeminate personal emotions and preserve national superiority of poets' society on the basis of strong martialism. It has been noted that the rhetorical characteristics were maximized to reinforce the function of propaganda in that it was the most avant garde newspaper in the then national sovereignty restoration campaign. Despite the emphasis of rational education to perform the task of the times, enlightenment, it has been found that the focus was given to eliciting awareness and anger at the situations, inciting personal emotions, and structuring them into collective ones in spreading and enjoying new poems. This is a propaganda for the national poetry movement that took the lead in realizing nationalistic improvement and reform of popular and folk songs enjoyed by the then public. Readers' contributions widely accepted to incite their emotions and induce their positive sympathy as a strategy for public propaganda were analyzed. The rhetorical characteristics of readers' contributions could be found in the quotation to give intensive poetic meanings and double the effects through repetitive use of two or three key conceptual words from the original work presented by the newspaper editor and in the resultant internalization of discourse. Realization of strong martialism can also be found in embodiment of a new hero and in presentation of others and may be standardized through the methods of simplification and exaggeration based on the key characteristics of good and evil. The metaphor of a war was widely used for the strategy to differentiate others and position them as enemies as a means of condemnation. Since the year 1910, sijo has gone through new changes in its position and roles due to the changes of temporal situations and discontinuation of Daehanmaeilsinbo.
