김억의 번역론과 시론의 상관성 연구

Abstract

This paper intends to consider the interrelationship between Kim Eok’s translation theory and poetic theory. Kim Eok’s translation theory and poetic theory were practical things for construction of Korean modern poetry from the late 1910’s to 1920’s. His translation theory as process of composition had particular viewpoint that a translated poem is no different from the original text. He thought that a poem has it’s own ideal emotion. And he believed that a translated poem and the original text have equal value. Because those two hold in common that ideal emotion. By the way, it contained also a dilemma that an act of translation makes no sense. As a result, his translation theory was be no different from composition theory. Kim Eok’s poetic theory reproduced the triangle as his translation theory. This phenomenon appeared also in his theory of Chosun poetic form. In here, he established the soul of Chosun(朝鮮魂) as ideal emotion, and arranged folk song(民謠) and Chosun poetic form below it. This triangle correspond to translation theory as process of composition. Consequently, Kim Eok’s poetic theory was impossible to escape from the triangle of translation theory from the late 1910’s to 1920’s. And it imply that Kim Eok’s work could not escape out of imitation in this period.
