김기림 시의 표상성

Abstract

Kim Ki-rim assimilates the Western civilization in his poetry and literature theory. He is a little more aggressive as a poet than any other writers. Modern sensibility and universal cosmopolitanism is the most important factor for him. He makes a question what is a citizen of the modern life in the realities of our life. The using of a word of foreign origin and introducing a new style arouse criticism. The strong criticism about artificial language is based on national consciousness and racial spirit, because that nationalism identity is made up of the principle of self-determination of peoples, showing favoritism toward born and bred language. But the language of national literature, absolutely doesn't put together heterogeneous language and any other cultural factor. A culture shock does not answer in the negative. Under the stress of extraneous things, a plentiful literature language was formed. Kim Ki-rim gives a shape to poetic diction in his poetry. He lays emphasis on objective point of view and a determined goal in his writing. Therefor his idealism paradoxical as it may seem, may be too realizable possibility. The presentationism of his poetry reveals symbolic words. A 'rose' and 'tulip' is an affirmative concept that he gives an positive answer about a civilization and enlightenment. The 'sun' and the 'ocean' stands for his experiments of movement for cultural regeneration. A light and shade of nature of the world answered the purpose of his efforts. This paper aims to pay attention to an aspect of representative language and the coming of a new world in the poetry of Kim ki-rim. His literary merit is being the center of ideas and a enlargement of knowledge is meaningful for him. The symbolic words of Kim Ki-rim's poetry show a complications of between Joseon of the past and the colonial particularity. He creates a new poetic diction that was setting up scaffolding of literature language of the 1930's. The poetic diction reveals a trait of the point at issue, but he has come up to the new question, being confronted with a contradiction of the time.
