<향산별곡(香山別曲)> 구성의 시대 착종(錯綜)적 특성 연구

Abstract

In this paper, we looked at the issues of tradition and modernity intertwined in <Hyangsanbyeolgok(香山別曲)> through analysis of the work and comparison with other works. The subjects of study were 『Sigyeong(詩經)』, which is important in Oriental literary tradition, and Chaucer's 『Canterbury Tales』 and Boccaccio's 『Decameron』, which are evaluated as having laid the foundation for modern literature in the West, and which succeed in demonstrating the prosaic tendency of verse. In addition, some of the poetic works published in modern media were also analyzed. The characteristics can be summarized as follows. First, the compositional characteristic of <Hyangsanbyeolgok(香山別曲)> is an omnibus structure. This is a factor that makes it possible to enjoy each paragraph of the work while pursuing its theme of criticism and indictment of reality. These characteristics are related to the tendency to become prose in the lyrics of the late Joseon(朝鮮) Dynasty and have similar aspects to the omnibus compositions 『Decameron』and 『Canterbury Tales』. Second, the objects or spaces where the events of <Hyangsanbyeolgok(香山別曲)> converge toward the poetic speaker are typical. This is a gradual reduction of the event object and a characteristic of <Hyangsanbyeolgok(香山別曲)> that was influenced by the composition method of traditional Oriental works such as 『Sigyeong(詩經)』. Third, the characters are replaced appropriately according to the topic of each paragraph. In addition, real and unspecified characters appear together, effectively integrating the subtopics of each paragraph into the overall topic. Fourth, at the conclusion of the text, <Hyangsanbyeolgok(香山別曲)> likens reality to a diseased state and presents an abstract treatment for it. In this way, the method of diagnosing reality as a diseased state and suggesting indirect remedies through abstract metaphors can also be seen in modern poetic works. It appears that the traditional typicality of works such as <Hyangsanbyeolgok(香山別曲)> contributed to the establishment of the modern style of poetry.
