1920-30년대 기행시조의 창작 맥락과 시적 지향

Abstract

In this paper, I noticed convergent writing of travel Sijo and desired to reveal its context of writing and poetic orientation in the 1920s and 1930s. I evolved an argument about series of Sijo just from newspapers. This situation, convergent writing of travel Sijo, arises from new understanding of Sijo genre and cultural factors of the time. After revivals of Sijo, poetic function as text for reading strengthened and Sijo expanded to full-length series style. Because of this aspect, formal space that can describes inspection of travel along the order of itinerary, such as Gasa or prose, was emerged. Visiting places of natural beauty and historic interests is frequent in 1920s and 1930s because new understanding of the origin of the race and our territory rose in the Japanese colonial period. It was a pilgrimage in order to identify our beautiful territory and ethnic identity, not just travel for fun or sightseeing. This stream is a second cultural context of convergent writing of travel Sijo. There was a travel Sijo at the point where the two axes, which are new understanding of our territory and rediscovery of formality of Sijo, meet. These Sijo show poetic orientation of inspiration for ethnic sense of identity. Among them, Sijo about travel around Mt. Geumgang is noticed. At that time, for writers, travel around Mt. Geumgang meant not only sightseeing but also a pilgrimage to identify our beautiful territory and ethnic identity. Mt. Geumgang in travel Sijo was recreated as numinous one which treasures ethnic emotion and culture. Lee Eun-sang's Geumganghaeng showing this perception is a representative sample of travel Sijo. This perception is revealed by Sijo about travel around Mt. Baekdu equally, such as Byeon Young-ro's Baekdusangatdeungire. Works about travel around specific places as well as places of natural beauty and historic interests were created. Gwon Deok-gyu's Sijogihaeng out of them described places of natural beauty, historic interests, tradition legend, and a specialty of Gyeongsang-do in minute detail. Especially, this reminds us of a geography book. We can say it as report of pilgrimage to our territory. This consciousness was confirmed again by Lee Byeong-gi's Jejugire. His Bongcheonhaeng rouse importance of our territory and ethnic sense of identity by identifying our debris of history at territory of the past. Another feature of travel Sijo is that retrospect of history was written by travelling the past or the ancient capital. The retrospect emotions were described by two ways. Its first way is to reconfirm our rich history and culture. This is revealed by Sijo about travel around Gyeongju. Bulguksa, Seokguram, and Cheomseongdae are the place of retrospect about our glorious history. The second things are the futility and transience between the past glory and today's ruins. This is shown by Sijo of the past or the ancient capital, however there is more stronger emotion in Sijo of travel around Songdo, ruined capital of Goryeo Dynasty. Image of ruined capital has been in the core of collective memory about Songdo. Manwoldae has been recalled frequently as the place of ventilation of the collective memory. Manwoldae's image that ventilates emotion of ruined country might come up to writers exceptively.
