한국 근대시와 리듬의 문제

Abstract

The rhythm of modern poem in Korea is very complicated. The typical mainstreams of views on modern poems are such as a view that it was made underdirect influence from western countries, a view that traditional rhythm has changedto a form suitable for modern conditions and a view that it is a complex structureof tradition and import. Han, Su-young Park, Sul-gi and Jang, Cheol-hwan, thesubjects of this study are reviewing those different views and newly constitute theestablishment of free rhythm in modern poem in Korea and its adjustment andcourse of evolution. Han, Su-young focuses on the changes from the 7.5 metricsof Japan’s Shintaishi(新體詩) to the poems by Kim, So-wol. She concludes thatnon-uniform rhythm format was expanded while the rhythms were realized towardordering emotion. Park, Seu-lgi, after establishing general definition of ‘rhythm’(律)then divides it into sub categories, ‘phonetic rhythm’(聲律) and ‘resonate rhythm’(響律). ‘phonetic rhythm’ is a rhythm that is realized by voice of language and ‘resonaterhythm’ is realized by letters of language. Regarding silent reading and personalenjoyment, it can be restructured as a hierarchical structure where the ‘resonaterhythm’ of letters is the main and ‘phonetic rhythm’ of voice is dependent to resonaterhythm. As typical poets who played key role in constituting and realizing resonatingrhythm, we can think about Lee, Sang-hwa and Kim, So-wol. Jang, Cheol-hwanviews Kim, So-wol’s rhythm as an ordering principle of regularity and fixed form and also a changing principle of irregularity and transformation. Through this, hecould find that Kim, So-wol’s rhythm converges to a monism of meaning-formatwhich binds phonetic, syntactic and semantic features. They normally share criticalminds about rhythm and subject poets, and at the same time, could derive differencesas above in defining the nature, characteristics and roles of rhythm in modern poem. Thus the study reviews, from objective view, the contribution of above rhythmson historicalization of rhythm and its impact on the studies on rhythms of currentKorean poem.
