최승자 시에 나타난 존재인식의 표현 양상 연구

Abstract

Choi Seung-ja, a female poet, created a new poetic methodology for awareness and interpretation of reality without sticking to traditional lyric poetic grammar that was rampant among contemporary female poets. She became liberal enough to deconstruct existing norms while she made a thorough self-inquiry into existence that preceded substance, and that's because it was possible for her to overcome them thanks to a paradoxical methodology that she created as an independent being. Looking into the poet's expressive aspects of awareness of existence to see how it was embodied makes it possible to shed light on how the poet tried to be reconciled with the world, which could never be said to be good, in order to recover her identity. The poet chose extreme negation instead of hope when she encountered existence that was in a critical situation in the world of absurdity. This could be called 'consciousness of death.' She represented tragic destructivity and negative lyricism in an extreme manner in order to escape from the threat of death. She regarded the world, with which was hard to be reconciled, as a badly damaged body, and she exposed her own inner world and tried to embody it, which could be called 'an alienated body,' as another way to get it over. There is a tragic methodology in Choi Seung-ja's poetry that represented her awareness of the times where the relationships between the subject and others and between individuals and society extremely went sour. 'The styles of negative' such as paradox or ironic statement served to enrich the poetic meaning of her poems. The poet sublimed her own awareness of existence into a poetic consciousness by using these aspects of expression.
