매끈한 공간과 홈 패인 공간으로서의 바다 -정지용과 임화의 바다 시를 대상으로

Abstract

The sea is a space occupied by events and thisness, a smooth space overflowing with affects. This space enables continuous creation by connecting and interfacing with new fields. However, the smooth space is constantly converted into striated space, and striated space is frequently reverted to smooth space. The route of the colonial period’s Kwanbu ferry is a groove carved into the Hyunhaetan, but Jeong Ji-yong and Im Hwa, who studied in Japan via the Kwanbu ferry, discovered the ‘speed’ and ‘events’ to revert the grooved Hyunhaetan into a smooth space and attempted ‘cartography’ by connecting with these. Jeong Ji-yong experienced the Hyunhaetan as a smooth space through the ‘haptique’, while Im Hwa tried to revert the striated Hyunhaetan into a smooth space by projecting the lines of flight drawn in his mental space onto the sea. However, Jeong Ji-yong failed to discover a language that prevents affect from being sealed into emotion, and Im Hwa failed to escape the thought system that grasps existence and meaning based on identity constructed through comparisons between things. Nevertheless, their attempts to form multiplicities with the sea discovered in modernity hold significance.
