1950년대 언어적 현실과 한 시인의 실험적 시쓰기 - 김종삼의 초기시를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper looks at the issue of the linguistic identity of the post-war generation poets in the 1950s. And this paper examines poetic qualities of Kim Jong-sam who had tried the experiment of the new poetic language in this process. An unwanted Chinese character and awkward syntactic structure, and strange languages which were created by new cultural experience, appeared irregularly in the poems of the poets belonging to the post-war generation. Korean language as a native language was very unfamiliar to this generation. Japanese colonial era, they learned to read and write by Japanese language instead of Korean language in the regular curriculum. Therefore, a fair assessment on poets and poetry in the 1950s are available only on a concrete understanding of the linguistic reality of the time. They are bilingual users who using familiar Japanese language and unfamiliar Korean language at the same time. When we looked their poems in terms of linguistic identity, different interpretations are possible. They wrote a poem as a process that discovered or invented a new poetic language in a state of linguistic vacuum, the disappearance of the native language. In the 1950s, Kim jong-sam belonged to Japanese generation the relatively young poets knows more Japanese language than Korean language. Kim jong-sam was experimenting the possibilities of poetic language in reality required by the suppression of Japanese language, the compulsion of Korean language. Although unfamiliar foreign word and many Chinese character appeared, but he was willing to pursue the purity of the language. It appears while subjectivity of discourse is erased, and does not undermine the materiality of language itself. As a result, subjectivity of discourse disappeared and the materiality of language was stand out. In addition,it was only a simple background, the meaning becomes apparent due to special accidents(Unconcealment accident) often found in Kim jong-sam's poems.
