정지용 시어에 나타난 음양(陰陽)적 상상력

Abstract

This piece of writing began its discussion as focusing on an idea of Yin-Yang (陰陽) that form a foundation of Orientalism. The reason for such discussion is that it is difficult to find oriental discussions about competitions to explain characteristics of poetry by Jeong Ji-Yong although they are important as much as to be expressed through Poetic Diction because its is concentrated on western ideas or theories. If political factors rather than art were applied in the birth process of Modernism poetry as Jeong Ji-Yong speaks, then the meaning of Modernism poetry in his work has no option but to be weakened. Literary works are the fruits of a society where the writer was born. This paper discussed about Feeling words by Jeong Ji-Yong in the Yin-Yang (陰陽) perspective that is deeply inherited in culture, tradition, and idea of a society where the writer was born. The Yin-Yang perspective an orientalism art theory that aims moderation of emotion, but it has significance as being faithful to poetics of Jeong Ji-Yong in connection with ‘passionate on the inside but cool on the outside. When the yin and yang slope to one side, problems occur. by the way, In Jeong Ji-yong's poem, yin and yang are balanced with harmony.
