김수영 시에 나타난 ‘집’과 ‘길’의 현장성

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the on-the-ground nature of Kim Soo-yeong's poetry. It can be said that the realism of the poet's actual experience negotiates with the elements of the field to drive the creation of the work and is essential to the formation of the structure of the work. In Kim Soo-yeong's poem, ‘house’ and ‘road’ are two sites that form the framework of his world of work. The site of him fulfilling self-reflection while feeling and longing for family love even in the dire circumstances immediately after the war was embodied in <My Family>, which took place in Sindang-dong. The house in Gusu-dong, where he spent the second half of his life, was a site of nature where he learned the sense of labor and looked directly at society and thought. In poems such as <In the Garden of Early Spring> and <The Thief>, the process of a poet's real experience of life is clearly revealed. As a poet in Seoul, the Jongno area where he was born and raised is like his hometown, and the people he met there became a great opportunity to form his consciousness. In <Modern Bridge>, the narrator presents a dramatic scene in which he renews himself while imagining a new time across generations. In <Giant Root>, the narrator expresses the joy of discovering the people and history with a harsh but sincere voice. The characters and objects appearing in the poem are familiar objects that can be seen on the street, and it can be said that he directly experienced it in the field of the road, and it can be said that it reawakened his subjective view of history and the positivity of life.
