제국 일본 속의 <조선 시 붐> ― 유학생 시인과 김소운의 『조선시집』을 중심으로 ―

Abstract

Chosen developed interest in various fields under the colonial ruling of imperial Japan and created a boom, which was also found in the field of poetic literature. In that sense, Chu Yo-han and Jeong Ji-yong, who were active in the modern Japanese poetical circles, claim attention as the precursors of the boom. The fact that they made their names in the Japanese poetical circles was a huge stimulus to young literary students that pursued the Japanese literary world with their poetic literature, which justified that they are called the precursors of the boom. The "boom of Chosen poetry" in a real sense happened through the translated works of Chosen poetry led by Chosenshisyu by Kim So-woon. This study set out to investigate the external environment of the anthology, which includes Japan's literary situations related to translation before its publication, and the inside of Kim So-woon as a translator. In other words, there was an invisible imperialist governance logic of forming a cultural system within the empire based on political and cultural considerations behind the "boom of Chosen poetry." As the translator of Chosenshisyu, Kim So-woon voluntarily assimilated himself to the external environment and took a submissive translation attitude. It is because his outstanding linguistic talent, based on which he determined the hierarchy of colonized culture, and his selection of poetic works coincided with the wave of art for art's sake.
