리찬(李燦) 시에 나타난 내면성과 시의식의 상관성

Abstract

Lee Chan (1910-1974) had attained honor both in literary working and in social activities after defect to North Korea, being recognized to be the greatest meritorious poet, but has not been an active subject of research. The purpose of this study is to bridge the gap in difficulty in approaching contents of his poems because of wide deviation in poetic view of the world by investigating the undercurrent of the poetic world. Lee Chan did not have satisfactory conditions both politically and poetically for his romantic tendency before the Independence of Korea, thus expressing his unsatisfactory feelings in the works of pessimistic emotions. In this period his poems were insufficient in strength, courage, healthiness, and vision, but maintained poetic tension through frankness to face wavering internal emotions, having romantic reality whose energy was frankness. After the Independence, he met with theoretical, practical utopia, or an ideology of socialism. His romantic attribute was sucked into fantasy provided by North Korean system. He enthusiastically produced works to comply with the literary theory of North Korea, intensifying his strict trust in the system. North Korea was needed to present common national emotions through exemplary works as establishment of the nation and organization of the system were accelerated. However, when the belief became religious, the energy of self-renovation as suspicion and denial disappeared and the belief was schematized. As time went by, his poems were stiff in absolute belief, becoming works for protect the system. Lee Chan's poems are sufficiently different in ranges from poems of sentimental lamentation, KAPF's poems, modern poems with the imagism, to poems devoted to Juche literature, but such characteristics have internal inevitability and procedures that they were varied through romantic internality as the common term.
