백석의 시에 나타난 식물 이미지 연구

Abstract

This paper made the image of plants lain sporadically in Baekseok’s poems as an object of inquiry. The plant image has become an important driving force leading Baekseok poems in childhood memories, food ingredients, and living tools. The distribution of plant names in his poetry alone is not comparable to other poets. This researcher tried to find out why Baekseok introduced a lot of plant names that were unfamiliar to the public and tried to point out errors in the interpretation of plant names according to the notation of Pyongando languages. This researcher examined the symbolic action of the plant image in Baekseok’s poetry, while grasping the plant name, the poetic form using it as a poem. and the source of discernment using the plant image in Baekseok’s poetry. It seems that Baekseok’s use of plant images was a very intentional poetic strategy. It was possible to estimate the moment when Baekseok recognized plant names and their qualities, from when as one of the scientific knowledge in Korea, the timing of researching plants and the timing of publication of the poet “Deer” by Baekseok coincide. Furthermore, I thought that the method of writing Baekseok poems, which actively used plant names as poetic words, was also linked to the attitude of recognizing the historicity. This paper examines the attitude of the poetic subject against modernity through the plant image from various angles, paying attention to the fact that Baekseok looked at plants and humans with souls from the same perspective. It is believed that Baekseok tried to pass the miserable life of reality by embodying the memory of the community through plants. He reveals the specific properties of life through enumeration or transforms it into a sensory image, and makes full use of the texture, morphological characteristics, and phonetic qualities of the Korean language made through repetition of phonology. It seems that Baekseok frequently called the plant name and concentrated on the plant image, trying to overcome the modernity by the plant image opposite the violence that modernity wielded. Additionally, it was confirmed that the use of plants as a poetic device also has the effect of holding to the end on the language and consciousness of the disappearing community in the ethnic group. It is connected to the point where the plant is the medium that the poet’s mental orientation is presented. Although a lot of poetry is based on Baekseok’s own personal experiences at some time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the critical factor that expands poetry into the suffering of the community without staying in the area of individual history is the plant image. The plant images, along with food images, are important components of Baekseok’s poems, and are thought to be important keywords in appreciating and researching his poems.
