식민지 시기 김해강의 시에 드러나는 공간 표상과 근대적 감각

Abstract

This article aims at extracting the poetic senses corresponding to the colonial realities through the spatial representation in the early poems of Kim Hae-gang. Kim Hae-gang, under the diagnosis requiring new senses and literature to go through the crisis of the era, spatializes the insides refracted by the colonial power with modern senses. The mechanism of dramatically changing cities included the paradoxes and anomalies of the modernity transplanted beyond the splendid civilization. The fragmented things and phenomena are geometrically arranged and reorganized into synesthetic spaces, and they could be the senses of catastrophes showing the colonial cities with malaises and mirths intensively. As distorted modernization is reflected to hometown, giving other senses of loss and deprivation, it shows the duality of homesickness to pursue hometown as the space of idol and ideal. By intending national identity and primitive order to seal the modern cracks, hometown, the damaged cradle cannot be impossible to retrieve and the result of self-sense not reside in anywhere. The sense of leaving hometown is connected to north, amplifying loneliness and homesickness as an outsider, captures the reality of national tragedy, and reveals violence of the colonial power. The outside of north, together with the sense of boundaries, is the space where discloses the fantasies and cracks of the empire and awakens the inside which is refracted, through de-centralization. Like this, the spatial characteristics of modern cities-hometown-north show sharply the perspectives of mutual complication of modernity and colonialization and critical attitudes to extract feelings and spirits of the era which were suitable to them. It could be literature practice expanding the consciousness of issues and pursuing subjective life through spatial organization of new senses.
