<장유가(壯遊歌)>*의 표현 양상과 공간관(空間觀)을 통해 본 17세기 사행가사의 특징

Abstract

This study is to clarity the sensuous and abstract layers in the statement of ‘Jangyuga’, the first Sahaeng Gasa(lyrics of travel) of ancient Korea, and to establish that the two layers are connected with the experiential and transcendental recognitions on space, respectively. The recognition basis formed in the writer's country is projected to be shaped in different aspects during visiting Japan and China. In the statements on Japan, most of the part focuses on the expressions of sensuous wonders because the part is centered on the experiential recognition of space. As for the part on China, numbers of expressions of reflection and lamentation are found because the writer's transcendental conception on space functions as a mechanism of recognition. ‘Jangyuga’ possessing these characteristics may have relations with the context of the history of the 17th-century poetry in which individuals participated in Gasas (lyrics). In other words, ‘Jangyuga’ is a 17th-century Sahaeng Gasa showing symmetric properties in the aspects of expressions or space recognition simultaneously, and is worth being noticed as a significant touchstone when the space recognition of subsequent Sahaeng Gasas is understood. While this study focused on the investigation of internal characteristics of the work, further studies are necessary not only for the comparison with other prose writings and poetry of Chinese writing but also for the similarity and differentiation with other Sahaeng Gasas of the same or other periods.
