김춘수 초기시의 멜랑콜리 연구

Abstract

This paper focuses on the need for a new viewpoint on the research on the Kim, Chun-soo’s early poems that can reflect them on a universal level after reflection on the sporadic researches of sorrows such as sadness, tears, loneliness in his poems. From this point of view, the melancholy discourse was suggested as a methodological viewpoint to pay attention to the early poems of his. In particular, I have taken Walter Benjamin's point of view and focused on the relationship between the allegory and the melancholy and secured the viewpoint of the study. I expect that the hope of salvation and perception of ruins can be interpreted as the allegory discourse, and the melancholy discourse enables a new interpretation of negative emotions from human mortality. Kim Chun-soo often said that he had taken history and society out of his poems, but it could be interpreted that he felt the pressure of history and society. He was forced to experience melancholy, which was characterized by sorrow and depression because of the violence of history and the shame as a weak individual in front of the history and the society. The everyday experience of the violence of history making ruins is a characteristic that is often found in Kim Chun - soo 's early poetry, and the sadness and tears caused by it are raised by the duality of melancholy. The poetic words, which contain negative emotions such as sadness and tears that often appear in the early days of Kim Chun-soo, are the result of judgments and reactions to the era. In this sense, it is somewhat clear that there is enough room to consider the poetry of this period as the duality of melancholy, the harmful melancholy and the positive heroic melancholy. It was a dark and difficult time for him to feel anxiety and sadness, yet the conception of such an emotional state is the expectation and hope of a state that can transcend anxiety and sorrow. The toughness of expectation and hope has the prospects for the future and offers the courage to overcome despair.
