Abstract

This article explores what Kim Soo-young, who had read Benjamin's “Translator's Challenge,” would then have an idea about his poetry and translation. It is impossible to translate, and it is translation that realizes ‘pure language’ which is the whole of intention of people who use language. For the poet who combined the translation and the creation, the translation was the same as the poetry in terms of ‘poetry as a language for translating the world’. The point that he understands world literature is also connected with this. If the translation is a mimesis for the target language, then the mimesis is an act of seeking a mental similarity to the object, not an imitation or reproduction. Kim's translation was such a mimesis act. Therefore, there is no relation to backward or forward. There is only creative action that faces the object and expresses the core of the object, but with a difference. The three areas discussed are as follows. If Benjamin's language idea, the pure language, is another universal name that can only be passed through contextual individuation, what Kim Soo-young intended as a criticism of Korean literature following world literature was the equivalence of literature as universal. In addition, in order to construct the notion of world literature beyond Western centrism, it is necessary to formulate Hegel 's' poetry theory ', presupposing Kim Soo-Young' s attempt to translate an anthology of world modern poetry. And if that world literature is that of reciprocal exchange, you can look at Jiacomtti with the issue of mimesis about the reality that the languages of one another reach each other's language.
