김춘수 시에 나타난 호명과 시선의 문제

Abstract

In this paper, modernity of Kim Chunsu Poetry was analyzed in respect of ‘calling’ and ‘seeing’. It was because in his poetic methodology, the problems of ‘calling’ and ‘seeing’ seems to be a chance reaching its esthetic individuality. In his earlier poetry this kind of ‘calling subject’ is magnified,which means his modernity started from a universal context, ‘calling’ on the object. Moreover difficulty and ambiguity of his later poetry show that calling of his poetic subject on the object and seeing system are changed. In his poetry, the calling action on the object brings the object to the visible poetic world. The calling action could bring the object in the invisible world to the visible fields. His objects in the second person receive the meaning by this calling method. In his earlier poetry, poetics of the second person make the object into the equivalent of humane feelings and thoughts by the calling. By the way, identity of the object completed by this calling is not the preservation of true individuality, but bringing it to the familiar thoughts. In this context, his later poetry seems to be the fundamental review on the meaning process between calling and the object. In his later poetry, as removing thoughts from the object, calling action was processed. In this, giving up the one calling method and breaking up the identity of it mean giving up the one seeing method. When calling is possible, but giving the name is not possible, it could be called as ‘anonymity of the calling’. Poetic words are located in the aesthetic point far from the objects and thoughts. When reaching this point, his poetic adventure could not construct the calling subject on the object and seeing subject on the object. The direct relationship, ‘seeing=calling’ is not established, calling is suspended and seeing is splitted. Leaving in this point is the aesthetic subject resisting the meaning process. The poetic methodology, which is not constructing calling and seeing subject, is not only making process of his poetry, but also the point of important aesthetic modernity in the context of Korea poetry. In this context, his poetic adventure started from universal direction, constructing the calling and seeing subject, but finally reached aesthetic individuality making the point of crack and dividing between these into the new aesthetic point.
