김기림의 「午前의 詩論」 연구

Abstract

Nineteen thirty-five was the year when Kim Gi-rim had a big change in his literary works. This study focused on 「Poetics of Morning」 which were serialized in the『Cho-sun Daily』 in 1935. Through the 「Poetics of Morning」, Kim Gi-rim tried to find a way to escape from his attitude of regardless acceptance of western modernism in the 1920s, and searched for his own poetics which were related to colonial reality in Korea in the 1930s. Kim Gi-rim was a modernist who consistently tried to establish a connection between Korean modernity and universal modernity by western forces. He criticized both sentimentalism by romanticists and social realism by Marxists in the 1920s under the name of 'Sentimental Romanticism'. The core of Kim Gi-rim's Poetics in Poetics of Morning」 is a 'Healthy attitude' as poetic attitude and 'Satire' as poetic technique. 'Healthy attitude' as poetic attitude was the effort of overcoming 'Sentimental Romanticism' which romanticists and Marxists commonly had in the 1920s. 'Satire' as poetic technique was the appropriate technique for the poetry of criticizing modern civilization in the future.
