문태준 『맨발』에 나타난 ‘동물’ 표상 연구 -김준오 『시론』의 ‘동일화의 원리’를 적용하여-

Abstract

Studies of Moon Taejun's poems have something in common that they recognize the characteristics of his ‘existing (traditional and local) lyric poetry’ characteristics and use them as the basis for poetry interpretation. And based on this, it is closely examining the lyricism of Moon Taejun. However, it is unclear whether the appropriateness of Moon Taejun’s poem, which draws the ‘world of lyric poetry,’ has been confirmed by entering deeply into the grammar and principles unique to lyric poetry. Therefore, this study aims to focus on the ‘existing lyric’ characteristics of Moon Taejun’s poems, which include the sense of problem and thematic consciousness covered by previous discussions, but go beyond it. This study aims to present a discussion by applying Kim Joonoh’s “Poetics.” Kim Joonoh explains lyric poetry as ‘the identification of the self and the world,’ and adds that it can be pursued through ‘the principle of identification,’ ‘assimilation’ and ‘projection.’ The assimilation and projection in Moon Taejun’s poems can be seen as indicators of the poet’s emotional action. This study discusses ‘animals’ that are the most prominent representations of Moon Taejun’s poems but are not demonstrated delicately. Moon Taejun’s ‘animal’ represents the real world where the principles of conflict and confrontation, exclusion and discrimination are operated, the possible world that is actively deployed to the world of others, and the lyric world. The principles of ‘assimilation’ and ‘projection’ show ‘the world of dissolution and integration’ and ‘the world of introduction and discovery’ through the figuration of ‘animals’, respectively. The following is a summary of some of the significance of this paper. First, poetry was analyzed by applying the ‘assimilation’ and ‘projection,’ which are the principles of identification in lyric poetry, and it can be a reference to various studies of ‘lyric poetry’ in the future. Second, the characteristics of lyric poetry, ecological poetry, and Buddhism poetry stand out in Moon Taejun’s poems, which can contribute to the discussion of ‘ecological poetry’ and ‘Buddhism’ by using ‘lyric poetry’ to examine the world of poetry. And third, this study looked at the image of ‘animal,’ which could contribute to the discussion of the time to examine the reproduction and the aspect of figuration of ‘animal.’
