도시의 사물성과 감응의 시학 : 보들레르와 릴케의 시적 모더니티

Abstract

Baudelaire is a modern poet who realized that because of fragmented sense symbols of things and totality of life could not be figured out in Paris where commodity fetishism and Phantasmagorie were prevailing. He had to undergo kind of melancholy as he recognized discrepancy between the world to which he should have belonged and the city of Paris where everything was transforming. For Baudelaire, Paris was a spacetime of modernity where poetic affect from modern life arose. Nonetheless, he achieved poetic modernity by making the city an object of aesthetic spacetime. And the allegories of melancholy constitute content and forms of Baudelaire's poetic modernity Meanwhile, Rilke assumed a critical attitude toward modernity of city, and rather pursued solitude and beauty in nature. Rilke’s attitude differentiated from Baudelaire’s ambivalent position toward modern beauty. Rilke, critical of things in city, sought poetic modernity through subjective transformation, while inheriting Baudelaire' s aesthetics of symbolism. Furthermore, Rilke found figures of things that are not only visible but also invisible by looking at them repeatedly and differently, and secretly transform them to revive. This is Rilke's existential affect rescuing things in Paris shadowed by commodity fetishism and Phantasmagorie. Also, this is content and forms of poetic modernity of Rilke who affected things in Paris in a totally different way than Baudelaire did.
