김남주 시의 상징 체계와 발화 위치

Abstract

The world of Kim Nam-joo's poetry can be divided into three parts. ‘Initial Poetry’(1974-1979) from starting his literary career until being imprisoned, ‘Middle Poetry’(1979~1988) from being in prison until being released, and ‘Late Poetry’(1988~1994) from being released from prison on parole until his death. The aim of this paper identifies the world of Kim Nam-joo's poetry based on the position of utterance. It includes the intention of repositioning his world of poetry, which has been arranged by researchers, in the context of position. It is also an attempt to establish him as a comprehensive poet, not a partial poet. Kim Nam-joo was not only a warrior who resisted dictatorship, but also a son, husband, and father of someone. In this paper, dividing his work into three inflection phases: debut as a poet, imprisonment, and parole, I want to establish them in three utterance positions: ‘field’, ‘prison’, and ‘city’. The field represents Kim Nam-joo's sociological position. The prison represents his political position. The city symbolizes his biological position. If we relocate various aspects of the poet Kim Nam-joo life from the perspective of sociological, political, and biological positions, it is expected to help to understand his poetry in three dimensions. From 1974 to 1994, Kim Nam-joo had continued to poetic work for more than 20 years. Even though he had to spend nearly a decade in prison, half of his poetic administration which could never be long, but that doesn't mean he was a warrior only. Each position of the field, prison, and city will show that Kim Nam-joo was not only a tenacious warrior, but also a universal poet and a comprehensive human being standing on the horizon of the lyricism.
