청록파 동시의 심상과 원형적 공간 탐구

Abstract

This paper examines the imagery and archetypal spaces appear in the children's poetry by Cheongnokpa poets; namely, Park Mok-Wol, Pak Tu-Jin, and Cho Chi-Hun. Studies of Cheongnokpa poets have been intensively conducted both quantitatively and qualitatively. However, there has been insufficient efforts made for systemization and evaluation of children's poetry by Cheongnokpa poets. When we focus on the world of Cheongnokpa children's poetry, we could see that each poet displays one's unique childhood innocence while sharing the centering theme of ‘nature orientation’ of Cheongnokpa. This paper also analyzed the archetypal spaces of Cheongnokpa children's poetry as ‘egg (Park Mok-Wol),’ ‘mountain (Pak Tu-Jin),’ and ‘village (Cho Chi-Hun).’ Park Mok-Wol's image of poetic spaces is feminine with ‘nest-like’ features. Pak Tu-Jin, the Poet of the Sun, seeks the absolute space, the white and clean world, in his children's poetry. As his nickname suggests, images repetitively appear in variations in Pak Tu-Jin's children's poetry are ‘the sun’ and ‘the mountain.’ On the other hand, Cho Chi-Hun reflects the customs and traditions of Korea and images of personhood in his image of ‘village.’ Cheongnokpa children's poetry represents no less structural aesthetics compared to their poetry.
