근대시조의 표현양태 변모과정 연구 -구술성과 문자성을 중심으로-

Abstract

The present thesis addressed Sijo works written from the late 1900s to the 1920s and dealt with changes of a Sijo form focused on the arguments about a Sijo. The Sijos found in mass-media from the late 1900s to the 1910s were new ones based on the old melodies and were formulas which are easy to sing along. The new Sijos based on the old melodies allowed people to create a Pyungsijo and a Saseolsijo. Even though it was new works, it was easy to remember phrases owing to the similarities between the new and old ones. Although a Sijo appeared in newspapers and magazines, it was not a complete 'reading' material' but a mixed material of 'reading' and 'singing'. This mixed aspects began to be changed, forming Sijo discourse as a literature or a poetry during Sijo Renaissance after the middle of 1920s. The Sijo discourse changed to a discussion for only 'reading', removing the melodies in order to establish a Sijo as a nation's literature. The melodies had to be removed to create a Sijo for 'reading' materials and people needed to make a literary form instead of the melodies. Also, a Sijo using formulas was considered as a banal one and fresh expressions settled down. Adding a purpose of establishing a formal poetry of Choseon, modern Sijo scholars had completed a Pyungsijo form by extracting the forms from an old Sijo. And they confirmed this discussion through the systems such as <Own Literary Circle> and <Literary Contest>. In this process, Eotsijo and Saseolsijo which had relatively free form were excluded and the works which used formulas of Old Sijo or Chinese poetries were considered as a banal expression way. As a result, people began to create sensible Sijos that consist of easy poetic words after the middle of 1920s, focusing on a Pyungsijo. In other words, orality of a Sijo was completely removed and only its literacy remained.
