1950년대 전통서정파의 ‘지성’론과 현대성 성격

Abstract

The emphasis on the intelligence in the literary circles in the 1950's was to establish the unconditional relationship with the issue of perceiving the reality, and through the Korean War, the entire poetical circles agreed that the modernization of Korean poems essentially needed the introduction of intelligence to poem. The traditional lyricists had to digest the intellectualism by any means in order to achieve the modernity of Korean poems and also had to reestablish Korea's unique lyricism and pure aestheticism. They emphasized the spirit of denial and criticism while exclusively possessing 'intelligence' in terms of ideality, ideology, and philosophy. They emphasized philosophy and ideology and focused on the issue of national independence represented as "Korea" unlike modernists. Also, they faced the request for the reformation of traditional lyricism and showed the tendency of expanding the network of the meanings of lyricism in order to fulfill the task of introducing intelligence into the poem which is the request of the times while cleaving to the nature of lyricism. However, they held fast to the position that the intellectualism shall not harm the literary value while acknowledging that the introduction of intelligence is the proper direction for the modernization of Korean poems. They emphasized the life and imagination but rejected realism and advocated the reconsideration of the spirit of denial in the late 1950's. The intellectualism of the traditional lyricists is interpreted as the protection of reason and spiritualism, and this was combined with the cosmopolitan ambition of the underdeveloped Korea to enter the advanced and universal world. Usually, the intellectualism of the traditional lyricists form a branch of the modernization plan of the 1950's and shows how the theory of the purists of the 1960's prepared.
