시의 개념과 근대적 분화 과정 - 근대 국어 교과서 및 독본(1895~1925)을 중심으로

Abstract

The goal of this study is to observe the conversion of awareness in reforming the modern school system to form the concept of especially ‘poetry’ among literatures having modernism as commonly considered today, reviewing Korean language (Joseon language) textbooks and Dokbons published from 1895 to 1925. That is, if we currently imagine a kind of poem, this work is to track the basis affecting the generalization of these literatures. Education makes learners enter into the field of power to obtain basic knowledge and gain social qualification as a member of the society. Thus, the education as a step of entering into the society drums the ideology of the society into the process of growth, and it becomes a mechanism showing how the ‘power’ works. Here, the textbooks reflects various levels of such as culture, politics, society, economy in the text, causing confusion of genres to contain heterogeneous contents and forms. In this context, tracing the appearance of changing poetry concept from a traditional view to a meaning in accordance with self-awareness of Korean poetry through modern Korean language textbooks and Dokbons is to examine how the genre becomes a custom. Accordingly, this study classified the poetry contained in the textbooks of the day into a form of almost ‘song (歌)’ and another form of almost ‘poetry (詩)’ to investigate the poetry having similarities. At the same time, the differences of learning contents between private textbooks and public textbooks were considered. In other words, the aspects of enlightenment discourses appeared in the textbooks were analyzed in distinguishing the education in which the ‘empire of Japan’ drummed the modern refinement to the ‘colonial Joseon’ to remove the political orientations of the learners and force them to serve Japanese colonialism and the spontaneous effort inspiring patriotism and emphasizing independence in the remaining education field outside of institutions. Based on the analysis, it was assumed that the ‘song (歌)’ was separated by mixing and excluding the genre in the process of emphasizing the ‘poetry (詩)’ and it was appeared at a turning point in which the genre was confused and a modern subject was born.
