이상의 시에 나타난 ‘자기-존재’의 이해 과정

Abstract

A poetic text is an utterance of the poetic subject. A reader can reconstruct poetic text given an utterance, as the more obvious meaning by looking closely at the existential situation of the poet at the time to be creative and the context of the whole poetry works. Lee Sang’s poetic subject is oriented to the exalted life in the existential situation of the poet and leads the context of the whole poetry works. Lee Sang was able to get the job as structural engineer of Governor-General, later he graduated as senior from the Gyeongseong Industry High School that fulfills the curriculum assigned by the contemporary education system. This success was the result of fierce pursuit of directivity of contemporary symbol Systems, though the poet who was between pre-modern 19th century and 20th century, yet felt the fear of uncertainty in the modern culture. But this social position was achieved by hard work, collapsed due to tuberculosis diagnosis. Lee Sang’s Poetic subject who is presented in the early poetry, attempts to identify the deficiency concealed under the symbol systems. The poetic subject investigates self-existing method, switching over the rational gaze from the outside to the inner consciousness phenomenon. The poem-series 「Crow's eye view」 is represented the course of the experiment to set up his self-existing method, being in a situation that he quit the job as structural engineer of Governor-General. The poet faced subconsciousness concealed inner self as a symbol of ‘mother’ and ‘father’ in the later poem 「Furnace」 and 「The family」. The whole context deployed on the premise of self death, is shown understanding process of self-existence set up by inner Other, beyond ‘the political nature of poetry’ to expose the reality of the modern passively consisting by a roll called the symbol system.
