황동규의 초기 시세계에 나타나는 욕망과 모순 - 『어떤 개인 날』과 『비가』를 중심으로

Abstract

The existing studies have mainly classified the poetic world of Hwang into four stages. Among them, there have been relatively few studies conducted on the first two poetry collections, A Shiny Day and Elegy. Hwang’s first two collections of poetry have significant implications as the beginning of a mental trajectory. In addition, Hwang’s poetry well shows the aspect of ‘intellectual’ in the camp of literature and Intellectuality about the subject of the literature triggered in the late 60s. This thesis attempts to fill up a gap in literature studies by examining Hwang’s first two poetry collections and complement the meaning of “intellectual” in the discourse on the subject of literature. Hwangs early poems reveal the desire to expand one’s consciousness. One’s desire is close to ‘the root of desire’, craving for the desire. The ego responds to the call of conscience as an intelligent and abandons one’s pursuit of desire in the oppressive reality. From a psychological point of view, in the early 60s, it seems that there was no recognization that humans had the same roots of desire and 'I' am the other, and the other is 'I'. Therefore, the contradiction between consciousness and action often appears in A Shiny Day. The ego should carry out the resolution as an intelligent, feeling the anxiety and emptiness of the world. In An Elegy, a state of incapacity due to extreme frustration appears. Now, reality oppresses all the consciousness and desire of the ego and in his poems, the ‘lunatic’ who is ‘being as the other’ comes to form. Hwang’s early poetic world reveals the aspect of ‘intellectual’ beyond the meaning of ‘intelligent’. ‘Intellectuals’ as the subjects of literature uniquely express human dignity; by experimental consciousness with language and literary imagination. They are not just awakened individuals, but are beings who ‘project’ in a unique way. Hwang’s poetic world, which was in charge of one of the pillars of ‘intellectual’ at the time, secures validity in this interpretation.
