윤곤강 시의 청각적 이미지 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze auditory images in Yoon Gon-gang’s poetry. Auditory images are significant and convey important meanings in Yoon Gon-gang’s poetry. This means that Yoon Gon-gang primarily uses auditory images to convey meanings. The meaning of auditory images in Yoon Gon-gang’s poetry is as follows. First, it makes the subject recognize reality and awakens the dulled consciousness. The subject is in a dark reality of colonial modernity and shows an aspect of helpless despair. Various sounds such as ‘bell sounds’ awaken this subject. Second, it criticizes the modern concept of time and implements an anti-modern concept of time. Modern time, represented by a ‘clock,’ restrains and disciplines humans, ultimately making them mechanized and fragmented beings. Auditory images internalize this modern concept of time and reveal the miserable daily lives of modern people who are governed by it. They also function as a device that implements the natural concept of time that implies cyclical eternity. Third, it acts as a response to modernity that is centered on vision. In his poetry, Yoon Gon-gang highlights auditory images through subtle sounds and reveals his active will to activate hearing. This can be seen as a response to the visual-centered modernity that overwhelms the relationship with the object with the privileged position of the subject, and as an expression of the will to realize the community of equality and solidarity or lyrical identity.
