김종삼 시의 공간과 장소

Abstract

This essay tries to look into Kim Jongsam’s poetry based on a specialmethod of study named space imagination. I think this methodology has theeffect of showing a marked characteristic of his poetry. The traditional conceptof a space devide into two notions. those are a space and a place. Especially, aconcept of a place connotes a meaning that is related with an experience. In the case of early days poetry, there are not that much space imagnationon his poetry. On the contrary, he tried not to reveal a space on the poem aswell as a place intentionally. Those tries accomplished a unique way to get hisown characteristic. In the middle of writing poetry, the sense of space is getting more thanbefore time. He tried to show a certain opinion about a society on the poem. Because of that, a scene of real world that include a figurative space isrepresented. At the latter term, a place appeared on his poem frequently. I think thisappearance is the biggest mutation all through the his long life of creativewriting. He was beginning to remember his past time and showing the oldplace. It means that his poetry made a landing down to an everyday experience.
