이성선 시의 심층생태주의적 양상 연구 - 후기 시를 중심으로

Abstract

The topics about the birth, growth, and extinction of natural phenomena consistent in the works of Poet Lee Seong-seon allow for literary discussions to reflect the reality through communication of interactive relations between the interpreters living in today's world where natural environments are destroyed and the works. It is confirmed that the spirituality of nature in his poetry is in the same vein as relational equality, circulating ecosystem, and organic diversity, which are usually mentioned in nature discussions from the perspective of deep ecology. The topic classified as relational equality moves in the direction that all creatures within the earth's ecosystem are connected each other toward the whole one. The common topics of his poems represented by relational equality between plants and animals or between inorganic matters and ecosystems insist that equal relationships should be first established between humans and other creatures in the ecosystem since the cause of ecosystem destruction derived from human-centered thinking. his poems that show the organic diversity presents the diversity as the complexity of the earth's ecosystem. The topic evolving around organic diversity says that all the individual creatures in the earth's ecosystem are their own organic matters and gather together to create a harmonious natural state as a cosmic phenomenon. Finally, Then the common topic of his poems represented by circulating ecosystems tells that human and nature are the universal life community and in equal relationships, circulating, being born and extinct, dying and reviving. Thus the idea comes about that all the animals including humans, plants, and inorganic matters should respect one another as equal beings. His works that reveal those three topics, namely relational equality, and organic diversity, circulating ecosystem, focus on the embodiment of solutions than causes of the destruction of ecosystems. They all pursue one common direction that the entire ecosystem is organic and whole as one and that all humans and nature are equal and deserve respect as individual beings.
