服齋 奇遵의 유배기 작품에 관한 일고찰

Abstract

Joseon history is marked with big and small calamities of literati due to confrontations and power struggles among different schools. Among the calamities, Kimyo Calamity of Literati was the outburst of severe conflicts between the Sarim and Hunku, which had been going on since the Jungjong Restoration in the 16th century, and was one of the most historic occasions critical to the discussions of the 16th century Joseon Dynasty. This study aims to inquire into the works of Bokjae Kijun (1492 - 1521), who was one of the Kimyo literati. In considering the literary works of the 16th-century Kimyo Literati whose recorded texts are absolutely in lack, it is very fortunate that Bokjae Kijun's 450 pieces of poems under 305 titles still remains in his Deokyang Memoir. Most of these poems were written during his exile days. Unlike other exile works who mostly contain pent-up resentment and frustration from the conflicts with the reality as well as self-contentment and complacency from the assimilation into the reality, the latter cannot be found in Kijun's works. We can presume that it is closely related to the situation he was in and can be counted as one of the characteristics of Kijun's exile literary works. The study starts with discussions on Kijun's exile life, which can be the very background of the grim sentiments in his works. And then, it closely examines Kijun's psychological states at that time and the grim sentiments in his poems written the exile days. It is expected that the study addressing Bokjae Kijun's literary works reveals the exile life of the 16th-century Kimyo Literati and renders an opportunity to look into the literati's mind during the exile days. As this study only deals with Bokjae Kijun's works among a number of 16th-century Kimyo Literati, it is also expected to be followed by further studies in future.
