김수영의 시적 이행의 함의와 초월적 사랑의 윤리

Abstract

The intention of this study is to prove that ‘force’ and ‘love’ as key words of Kim Su-young’s poetry is motivated by ‘enforcement’. Until now, most of studies on Kim su-young have understood the meaning of ‘enforcement’ in the aspect of topological change of being or ontological transition. However, when Kim takes ‘enforcement’ as the keyword of his poetic theory, not ‘transition’ or ‘intergradation’ in English, he emphasizes that 1) ‘Enforcement’ is performed by a compulsory and self-oriented force. 2) The imperativeness of the force implies political ethicality determined in inner self, not concerned with topological change of being. 3) The ethicality is from the conversion of intelligence and imagination. His awareness is developed to keen observation of the day’s social condition and even led to the irony of ‘politics is prior to history’. This conclusion is expressed with ‘self irony’ in his each poems negating and modifying his own thoughts in past. Seeing that how difficult democracy system is realized, Kim’s desire for freedom becomes more and more sharpened. For him 4. 19 is a question of freedom that should be endlessly posed even ‘after revolution’. Freedom demands to fulfill ‘imaginary social’ which would become real only in an ideal world. It is ‘over-determinated’ through the question accompanying inner ‘Sollen’ as ethic condition. His expressing difficulty in living suggestive of an autobiographical novel will be transformed into the conscience solidaire of imaginary communion by ‘enforcement of silence’. Kim who had kept trying to find the way to overcome secularity finally could clean out desire for sanctity, urge to anti-enlightenment and romanticism isolated from reality, and face up to reality of his inner self. In this condition, His ‘love’ is metatopical because it is independent of political and social context, while keeping its own standards of morality. Trying to overcome developmental dictatorship ideology of 1960’s, Korean modern poetry has get a hint from Kim Su-young’s dialectics of love, which is of counter-enlightenment in the sense it was gained by throwing out the mythology of self-enlightenment.
