서정적 관념의 ‘장소화’ 양상 —정호승 시의 헤테로토피아

Abstract

Jeong Hoseung is a representative poet who kept the level of lyricism constant. The lyrical concept he shows does not stem from the reproduction and familiarity of everyday words, but from a unique methodology that reveals a sense of subject. It is drawn in a way that shows the presentness of the utopia by replacing the spatial experience with specific spatiality rather than an abstract dimension. The method of embodying lyrical ideas through experience of existing counter-space, not the utopia of absence, leads his poem to an aesthetic horizon. Waiting, death consciousness, and the meaning of love are important factors that form the basis of Jeong Hoseung’s poem, and they are embodied through the acquisition of places such as “trains, ” “tombs, ” and “shades, ” respectively. In an era when reality criticism prevailed, “Seoul” was a place that symbolized the hybrid situation of the absence of value and existence, and recently reappears as a place of new meaning through internal reconciliation. This can be seen as the poetic achievement of heterotopia embodied in Jeong Hoseung, and this methodology is likely to be established as one of the various perspectives of interpretation of modern Korean poetry.
