한국 현대 생태시 연구 - 생태맑스주의적 관점을 중심으로 -

Abstract

In the late 1980s, a growing number of people have raised interests in explaining ecological issues from the Marxist perspectives. Since then, various efforts have been made to prove that Marxism contains abundant thoughts on ecosystem and to explain the present ecological issues based on Marxism. The famous phrase ‘humanization of the nature and naturalization of human beings’ by Marx clearly provided clues to understanding ecological issues in Marxism. Furthermore, as Marxism aims at liberalizing human beings, Marxist philosophical anthropology is based on a concept of analyzing ecological issues, which reveals interesting Marxist insights into ecology. If ecological crises facing the human race were aggravated in the wake of the capitalist mode of production, Marxism can be considered as a useful framework that suggests the true nature and alternatives with regard to ecological issues. Marxism aims to unveil devastating and exploitative nature through the explanation of the laws of motion of capitalism. This study examines Korean ecological poetry from the Marxist perspectives by including related issues in the Marxist economy. Literary application of ecological Marxism considers qualitative change in ecological literature as extended ecology. In this regard, the ecological Marxist criticism not only accurately reflects the present times but also suggests future-oriented resolutions.. This study focuses on figuring out the cause of ecological crises and the recovery of an ecosystem. Therefore, 'An Eco-Marxist Study on Korean Contemporary Poetry' is meaningful as the stepping stone to make a qualitative change in the eco-criticism.
