정지용의 초기시와 장소의 근대성

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the place on Jeong Jiyong'searly poetry. The place in the poem reflects specific experiences of apoetic speaker. Therefore, a individual who has a sensory responseappears in the place. In this sense, a place in the poem is a standard foridentifying modernity. At first, Kim Sowol's poems are compared with Jeong Jiyong's poems. It is a kind of a way to understand the modernity of Jiyong’s poetry. Jiyong took advantage of very delicate sensory on writing poem. So, theappearance of a individual with a sense is inevitable. An empirical placeappears by the eyes of an independent individual. Jiyong took Sowol'spoetry to a new level. Jiyong learned western literary theories from his study abroad. Heactively experimented with creation and succeeded. He expressed hisexperience of modern times in a sense of place. A sense of wonder andsatisfaction are the emotions that make up the initial period, but the mostrepresentative is the melancholy. As a colonial intellectual, an internationalstudent who has experienced modern civilization, the place on Jiyong’poem often featured melancholy. However, it did not develop into a deepproblem-conscious mind. Although this was one of the inevitable choicesof Joseon writers of the time, it became a limit to Jeong Jiyong's poetry.
