Abstract

The nature has been always an attractive material in poetry. But attitude of cognition of nature has been not always the same. The history that nature is regarded as aesthetic object like today was barely 100 years. This change and emergence of the modern subject has occurred at the same time. This study attempts to reread the poetry of early modern to understand the emergence of the modern subject, from an aesthetic point of view on nature. Speaking about late 1910s poetry, the nature began to be regarded as aesthetic, both beauty and sublime. It had a close relation with modern literature to be constituted an aesthetic autonomy in that times. In 1920s sentimentalist poetry, emotion of loss was used to appear along with a lively description of the nature. Nature in these poetry was tiny, beautiful and familiar ones, therefore it is the object of beauty. In the middle of 1920s poetry, hope and brightness emotion had been triggered from the nature, and nature in itself was depicted in beautiful and praised. In that case, the nature was a space of labor. In other words, the nature which was lost in real world was mediated by notion of labor and vitality. In that sense, the nature described as space of labor in 1925s poetry was cognized object of sublime. In 1930s poetry, there were huge and overwhelming nature as mountains and wilderness, and these were interpreted as a symbol of land, sovereignty and the nation. In summary, the personal emotion of inner mind was mediated by beautiful nature could have banded a scattered subject to a community of emotion to prevent from disruption community after loss of objective truth, in the poetry from late 1910s to early 1920s. And these personal emotion in individual was found to collective modern subject thanks for ideologized nature, after middle 1920s.
