초록

This article examines how T. S. Eliot presents a critical perspective on individualism and colonization, which paradoxically reveals the necessity of a cultural community. Eliot criticizes the loss of the local and cultural community. Eliot refutes free-floating characters since they imply the loss of local homogeneity. Specifically, Jews are represented as liberal individualists and cosmopolinatists who aren’t rooted in homogeneous and concrete culture. In contrast, they disintegrate the particular and homogeneous culture of the community which is connected to the chaos of identity. In addition, Eliot criticizes the breakdown of regional boundaries due to colonization and wars. Colonization and wars dissolve the tradition of a community based on the geographical particularity, which decimates the whole pattern of communal life and experience passed through generations. Eliot resists individualism and colonization that tend to destroy a cultural community and cause personal identity crisis.

Abstract

This article examines how T. S. Eliot presents a critical perspective on individualism and colonization, which paradoxically reveals the necessity of a cultural community. Eliot criticizes the loss of the local and cultural community. Eliot refutes free-floating characters since they imply the loss of local homogeneity. Specifically, Jews are represented as liberal individualists and cosmopolinatists who aren’t rooted in homogeneous and concrete culture. In contrast, they disintegrate the particular and homogeneous culture of the community which is connected to the chaos of identity. In addition, Eliot criticizes the breakdown of regional boundaries due to colonization and wars. Colonization and wars dissolve the tradition of a community based on the geographical particularity, which decimates the whole pattern of communal life and experience passed through generations. Eliot resists individualism and colonization that tend to destroy a cultural community and cause personal identity crisis.
