이상 시에 나타난 몸과 시적 구조의 관계

Abstract

The poetic structure inherent in the poetry of Lee Sang in the process of perceiving the world through the body directly corresponds with the vehement reactions of the body. The totality of experiences and perceptions becomes the body of poetry, and the expressions of the body become poetry. His poetry is thus deservedly called the poetics of the entire body. What his poetry shows in the process of perceiving the world through the body is disruption. The landscape and poetic words that are smashed into pieces show the vehement reactions to the alienated and distorted body. Given that the characteristics of his poetry include ambiguity and difficulty, looking into the inside through the binary structure will present a new approach to his poetry, in which the confrontation characteristics show in various ways including in and outside, tradition and modern times, sick and healthy body, and me and my father. As the sensuous perceptions through the body are total, understanding all the confrontations between experience and reason and between subjectivity and objectivity seems to be a very proper way to perceive his poetry in totality. Laughter is a mental activity and, at the same time, a physical, “body” phenomenon. In his poetry, the content of laughter usually contains derision and belittlement of his body. In such a case, the forms of play and laughter include irony, repetition, homonym, replacement of words, and association. What is important is that those structures of laughter and play are attributed to the “body” of Lee Sang himself. Given that laughter happens when the expectations of what is normal and very natural collapse, the laughter he tries achieves the world of play by presenting an abnormal and devious phenomenon. In his poetry, the sick body, the damaged body, and the dying body become the medium of determination to resist against the politics being protected by the Japanese oppression, pull the anxiety and fear of death with the entire body, and overcome them through poetry. The method of not only moving toward the active negligence of his illness, but also opening the way of the body for fear and sorrow to enter fantasy is the expression of will of the poet who resisted against the Japanese rule and modern times trying to explore a colony through the control and discipline of the body. The aesthetic experiences of the body that was close to death finally obtained a new body in poetry.
