김종삼 시에 나타난 타자적 공간 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the space of otherness found in Kim Jong-sam’spoems. Borrowing the concept of Levinas’ ‘others’, this author intends to discuss the worldof his poems by analyzing space revealed in his poems not just as physical space but as mentalspace and also the structure of existence. Ultimately, it is to reveal the fact that space as theworld of externality consisting of others to the being(poet) is directly associated with the existentialmatters of the being after all. First, this author has understood that the poet examines the space of others, for example,young children, women, or neighbors, under the precondition of an agent and learns that thespace of others named as young children, women, or neighbors confronts the agent and allowsthe agent to exist as the face of others eventually. Second, this researcher regards the origin of the poet having that tragic view of the worldis his wound from the war that he experienced, and the space of exotic mood that the poetdraws such as Lebanon and Auschwitz Camp reveals the same cruelty and oppression that heexperienced from the Korean War within the enormous metaphor of war after all, and heshares the sorrow and tragic sentiment of those in pain suffering from war. This author haslearned that distance from the foreign land is irrelevant here and one can exist within thatexotic nakedness. Third, examining the space of divinity․transcendence․fantasy that the poet longs for,this researcher has found that that space of otherness lets the poet keep desiring and becomestrongly attached, but in fact, it is impossible for him to enter the space of divinity, and finally,he gets to be exiled in the end and the agent’s desire ends up withering helplessly.
