오규원의 ‘날이미지’ 시론 연구-구축의 맥락과 잠재력을 중심으로-

Abstract

Due to his negative perception of the universality of ideas and the abstractness of language, Oh Kyu-won tried to find a way to capture the reality of the world through concrete objects or phenomena. The motive for doing so was the problem of the 'image' of the previous poetry and the debate "Pure Literature-committed Literature" bound by the framework of the participation debate worked. Oh Kyu-won built his later poetics while searching for an alternative to the 'metaphorical language system'. Following the attention on the ‘metonymic language system’, the introduction of the predicate ‘raw image’ was an attempt to convert the distorted and fixed perception of the world into existing ideas and language. He conceived a theory of poetry that contained the reason for poeticizing the world that exists as a 'phenomenon' as it is. He gave legitimacy to his theory of poetry by referring to various sources including Seon Buddhism. And his later poetry theory emphasizes 'anti-subject', which was due to the awareness of the limitations of subject-centered cognition, and he actually had mutual subjectivity in mind. In other words, 'raw image poetry' was completed in the minds of readers. The reason why he suggested the creation method of ‘raw image poetry’ and the composition method of ‘raw image’ is probably because he wanted his poetry and theory to be understood. On the other hand, unlike hope, his theory of poetry cannot escape from the 'metaphorical language system'. This is because the wonder of the world contained in ‘Nal Image Poetry’ itself reveals the ‘meaning’ that his poetry theory aimed at. Nevertheless, his poetic theory can be evaluated as having acquired its originality in that he has pioneered a new field of poetry that can be obtained by preparing an unconventional view toward the world or by decolorizing ideas and emotions. In addition, it is expected that the creative methodology proposed by him can be inherited creatively through critical reading of his poetic theory of ‘raw image’.
