한용운의 시 「님의 침묵」에 나타난 역설의 표현 원리 - 들뢰즈의 사건 개념을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the expression principle of paradox in 「The Silence of Nim」 of Han Yong-Un's poem, focusing on Deleuze's concept of events. In general, paradoxes are known to violate the principle of the excluded middle. However, when we analyze the inner structure of the paradox, it shows ‘simultaneous meaning creation’. The system of paradoxes that appears in 「The Silence of Nim」, that is, the ‘simultaneous creation of meaning’, is a phenomenon that appears because this poem is structured as a series of events. The serialization of events within the system of paradoxes not only enables the simultaneity of parting and meeting, but also shows that it can be varied in many ways depending on the aspect. Therefore, this leads to infinite creation of meaning. Meanwhile, the paradox of 「The Silence of Nim」 has the character of “Aion’s Time.” It is simultaneously divided into the past and the future based on the present, and shows continuity that extending along certain straight line. This aspect, shown in the paradox in 「The Silence of Nim」, ultimately makes it impossible to define meaning as something specific, creates innumerable meanings, and moves to the dimension of eternal recurrence. As a result, The love, the theme of this poem, is understood as a repetition of what is different when interpreted in terms of eternal return, and as an aspect of love in which meaning is created and changed infinitely
