박인환 시에 나타난 ‘청각적 이미지’ 연구- ‘소리풍경soundscape’을 중심으로

Abstract

This study examines Park In Hwan's poetic imagination and thought focused on the ‘civilization’ and the ‘war’ shown in his poetry at the perspective of ‘sound’ and ‘soundscape’. In his poetry, the uneasiness about the course of amorphous power or things that civilization cause to humankind are expressed through the ‘soundscape’ as ‘coming as if to rupture the eardrum’ and ‘radio wave’. It is characteristic that he tried to appreciate the situation which he was faced thinking constantly the past and future based on his present daily life. It is another characteristic that he dug out the contradiction and irrationality of the day that he belonged. The ‘explosive sound’ shown frequently in his poetry is the ‘sound-mark’ that expresses the war but also the ‘keynote-sound’ of a battlefield. By the way, it is shown as the ‘soundscape’, ‘a windstorm in my ear’, that is heard consistently from his consciousness and unconsciousness. There are ‘destructions’ and ‘a showing a strong attachment to life’ suffering from sleeplessness caused by explosive sound of war in his poetry, that is to say there is expressed his contemplation of himself who is in the mood of an extreme confrontation of impulse to death and life. The way of his poetry creation is similar to the technique of ‘a stream of consciousness’. He tried to express in full the contradictory aspects seen, heard, and felt by himself. ‘The tinkling of a bell from wooden horse’ in his poetry is a ‘soundscape’ that comforts him for a moment through soothing the contemporary people suffering from the war. It has the power to enable people who are in despair and cannot have a dream to have a faint hope and a vision. He regarded this ‘resonance’ as the power that makes human beings to have human dignity. Consequently, it can be said that his creation of poetry was the way of actualizing that attachment.
