1930년대 윤석중의 동화시(童話詩) 연구* -동화시의 상호텍스트성과 스토리텔링 각색을 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the aesthetic characteristics and literary significance of ‘narrative poems for children published in the 1930s by Yun Seok-Jung(尹石重, 1911∼2003). narrative poem for children refers to a sub-branch of children’s literature that contains stories with a narrative structure in a poetic style. However, the definitions and categories of the narrative poem for children have been constructed differently depending on the era, and there are also differences in the types and characteristics of actually created works. In the 1930s, Yun Seok-Jung’s narrative poems for children were sought in response to the demands of the literary history of the time to break away from the rigid stereotyped frame of existing children’s songs and seek contact with children’s readers and reality. Yun Seok-Jung’s narrative poem for children crosses the boundaries of genre, combines poetry and story, and shows creative ideas that promote convergence with adjacent art forms such as painting and music. The various genre fusion and media conversions attempted in the process of creating narrative poems for children by Yun Seok-Jung are meaningful examples of artistic exploration that enrich the aesthetic experience of children’s readers. Yun Seok-Jung’s narrative poem for children deepens and expands the understanding of the author’s world of art, and provides an important reference point for understanding the historical genealogy of Korean narrative poems for children. In addition, the artistic exploration of narrative poems for children, which aims at the production of crossover style texts in the mutual relationship between text and media, has implications for finding the direction of children’s literature creation and education in the modern media environment that triggers various negotiations and convergence between genres.
