김동리 시집『패랭이꽃』에 대한 연구

Abstract

This is a study on『Chinese Pink』in Kim Dong-ri's second collection of poems. It examined how the semiosis is made with being implemented and dismantled the symbolic system centering on 'the afterworld, hometown, flower,' which appear frequently in his poetry. Especially through such aspect, it considered how a speaker proceeds with searching for subjective desire of being isolated in the unconscious space, with escaping from the symbolic. The afterworld implements the symbolic with being opposed to this world, which is space of daily life. The speaker is always indifferent even with remaining in this world, and wants to return to the afterworld. That place symbolizes the unconscious space of having left from the symbolic given seeing psychologically. And, 'ideal mother' or 'ideal ego' exists in that place. Hometown is confronted by being intervened the intermediate spatial symbol in several folds in a gap with daily space. And, it exists in 'space,' which isn't included in social space, namely, in 'empty place' of the symbolic. The speaker wants to return to that place always with leaving from the daily space, and also imagines a way of proceeding with seeking for hometown, namely, the hometown in the intermediate space. As the hometown is isotopie with the afterworld that appears in the above poems, it is a place that a peculiar desire exists with being isolated. Returning to hometown leads to meeting 'ideal mother' of existing in that place and to trying to seek for ideal ego. In Kim Dong-ri's poetry, a flower exists in unconscious space of escaping from 'hometown' or 'the afterworld,' namely, from daily space. And, even the symbol in several plants is also isotopie with the flower. Such flower is the subject of unique desire in the speaker who always returned to the place, and substitutes for 'symbolical mother.' As clarified in the above, a reason that the speaker longs for and seeks for the afterworld and hometown is for being reborn as ideal ego by meeting flower in its unconscious space. As examined in the above, the confrontation between this world and the afterworld is corresponded to another country and hometown. And, this world and another country are the space of symbolizing the symbolic that is the field of daily life. The afterworld and another country are the space of symbolizing the symbolic that is the unconscious space. What the speaker aims to return to the afterworld from this world and to the hometown from another country is a psychological effort to overthrow fantasy that was formed from the other's desire. And, it aims to be the main agent of a peculiar desire by meeting flower, namely, 'ideal mother' in that place of symbolizing the unconscious space. The aspect of implementing and dismantling the spatial symbolic system, which appears in Kim Dong-ri's collection of poems, is suggesting this desire consistently.
