어사용에 나타난 탄식의 양상과 의미

Abstract

Eosayong is a song that was sung on the labor field to which lower-class men go for gathering firewood. Eosayong contains a sigh of lower-class men who need to make a tired life, instead of affirmative and optimistic self-recognition shown by the collective work song, which had been sung by men. Eosayong, which indicates the typical looks in a song of being sung while sighing alone, contains a scarred desire in the lower-class men who had been unable to make their desired life. Words in Eosayong are combined centering on the certain formulaic phrase same as the folk-song general. However, the aspect of combination between these formulaic phrases shows the aspect of being combined flexibly according to emotional direction in a traditional narrative singer. The contents of a sigh in Eosayong include criticism against society, alienation, loneliness, and own reality that is faced, but are also sublimed into popular aesthetics of trying to alleviate a sense of sorrow in reality through a smile depending on a case. This aspect indicates the characteristic in the class that had enjoyed Eosayong, and seems to be possible because of a private song that is sung in an individual labor situation. In the base of a sigh is positioned the recognition of reality that oneself needs to make a life as the other existence that is eternally isolated and discriminated in society to which oneself belongs. In a sense that Eosayong contains the lamentable desire of people who have self-consciousness of failing to make own life based on recognition of the ruthless reality, it will be said to be a song that gives deep echo to modern people who need to get accustomed to live in it with being employed by huge capital in today.
