박인환 시에 나타난 불안의식 연구

Abstract

This study presents an investigation into the poetic manifestation patterns of consciousness of anxiety in the poetry of Park In-hwan(1926～1956) with a focus on it throughout his works. Park was a member of Hubanki (The Latter Half), a literary coterie that played a pivotal role in the literary campaign in the 1950s, and left huge milestones in the history of contemporary Korean literature. However, compared with Kim Su-yeong, who was his contemporary writer and received high evaluations, he had been undervalued. It is no exaggeration to say that Kim Su-yeong, one of the symbols of participation poetry in the 1960s, criticized him severely, calling him "a worshipper of cheap and frivolous vogues" and "secular modernist" and that his harsh criticism garnered sympathy and had negative influences. As a matter of fact, evaluations of Park's literary activities have developed in ambivalent views including positive and negative ones with a distance from the suggestive aspect of Korean literature rather than pursuing aesthetic values. Anxiety is one of the most fundamental human emotions. Emerging in a process of internal emotions clashing with each other, this symptom can cause mental suffering and physical symptoms beyond the normal scope. The sentiments of anxiety such as despair, depression, and anger found in Park's poetry lasted in repetition throughout his works from the early days, especially right after the Korean War, to his death. Anxiety that was manifested along with fear for death after the war formed a base of his life and contributed to his tragic view of the world. Putting an emphasis on it, the present study focused on the consciousness of anxiety and death that worked in a dominant fashion in his poetic texts and examined it in three layers: First, <genetic semantic factors and poetic manifestation anxiety> The After consideration of the meaning and characteristics of anxiety, 'real anxiety' investigated with a focus on the work of the pattern. Second, <symptoms as anxiety consciousness> centered in the consciousness of anxiety symptoms work on damaged self manifestation 'moral anxiety' patterns was investigated. Third, the <anxiety consciousness as prospect absence> classified miserable of Korea War 'uncanny' the ('strange fear') to embodied works with 'neurotic anxiety' aspect explored. One of the prerequisites in research on literary works is text analysis, but the present study linked it with Park's own life partially and shed light on depressive landscapes carved in his inside as wounds, which was because the approach helped to discover his view of the world, the situations of the times, and the thematic consciousness of his entire works. The study examined how his consciousness of anxiety and its elements, which were embodied in his works, were realized in his works and found that the anxiety inherent in his poetry was a wound caused by his disharmony with the world. As a deviation from the wound, Park lived a dark and impoverished life but never stopped "writing a poem" until his death. Further researches and evaluations of him are expected to go on in order to re-illuminate the history of Korean literature.
