고독의 물질화와 그 의미작용 -김현승의 시를 중심으로-

Abstract

This paper explores how Kim Hyun-Seung’s poetic loneliness is structured by text and how it works. First of all, his poems show a binominal principle and a vertical descent. For example, if you look at “Solid Loneliness”, This text shows a horizontal structure that creates a firm separation between God and man. At the same time, it creates a structure that converts the body’s symbol into a symbol of minerals. Next, researcher analyzed the meaning of minerals and horizontal structures through “Pure Gold of Loneliness”. The ‘pure gold’ in this text acts as a means to separate the relationship between God and man, the divine and the earth, the spirit and the body. Then, this produce a horizontal space structure that goes out of the realm of ‘Tomb → Social → Ocean’. Such a structure is because pure gold has not yet become pure gold. Finally, through “Absolute Loneliness” and “The End of Loneliness”, the relationship between the body and the eternal relationship was analyzed. In “Absolute Loneliness”, the poetic speaker combines happily with a lonely self. However, there is also a problem with this text. Because text itself is becoming a silent text because of lack of language. So, he breaks these silence in “The End of Loneliness” and creates an intangible new poetic space. In these spaces alone, the lonely self separates itself from the body and soul, also, the soul is imprisoned in an unknown poetic space. His poetic soul was locked in a totally detached space in the world of God.
