현대시의 어조 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to define the tone of the modern Korean poetry, to decide the fundamental form of it and to inspect its reiteration and transformation. The tone is not the expression of the subjective attitude showing a speaker's emotional state. It is reflective of objective situations in relation of poetic objects. Even if the definition of the tone has been appreciated, I judge that the existing definition is meaningless as it is allowed unlimited classification and incomplete by reason of overlooking poetic situations. In this, I found out that five types of the fundamental forms of the tone, which are “satire”, “praise”, “sympathy”, “reflection” and a “humor” based on relations between poetic subjects and objects and I clarified that reason. These five types conflict each other and generate various changed forms. It is caused by force of irony(paradox included). Irony is a pair of analogy that is a principle organizing a system. Irony, which makes a system disrupt and split, is a necessary condition in complicated poetic situations and power-driven spaces. This study gives you useful concepts in that it helps to inspect the tone throughout all poetic situations and confirm a fundamental form of the poetical relation, to examine its variations and formal expansion and to investigate irony, paradox, an allusion and parody in the context of the tone. As a result of analysis, I expect to renew the definition of the tone of poetry and link a study on the tone of poetry with a study on the poetic consciousness in relation to poetic subjects.
