루쉰의 「이런 전사(這樣的戰士)」 - “없는 물건의 진법(無物之陣)”에 맞서는 필패의 전사

Abstract

The prose poem “This Warrior”(這樣的戰士) can be considered a rare text in which Lu Xun directly reveals his concerns and value orientation. However, it belongs to the most enigmatic series of poems among the 23 works included in Wild Grass(野草, 1924-1926), alongside “Epitaph”(墓碣文, 1925) and “The Shadow’s Leave-Taking”(影的告別, 1924), making its meaning particularly difficult to grasp. Of course, the challenge of interpreting such a complex poem also holds great appeal for researchers. Most readers, after reading this poem, are left with a sense of uncertainty about what kind of warrior “This Warrior” truly is. The reason for this is that “This Warrior” does not at all conform to the conventional concept of a warrior as we typically understand it. This paper aims to elucidate why “This Warrior” appears to be a strange warrior, a warrior who does not seem like a warrior, or even a warrior who is not a warrior, and to explore its artistic and ideological significance. ㅍ is one of the representative works that typifies Lu Xun’s thought, embodying what can be described as “poeticized philosophy”. The term “poeticized philosophy” refers to a high degree of fusion between poetry and thought, image and concept. It signifies thoughts that can only be expressed through poetry and poetry that cannot exist apart from thought. This unique blend of poetry and thought offers an astonishing experience where textual analysis of its artistic and aesthetic characteristics is directly linked to the interpretation of its ideological and philosophical meanings. Therefore, by attempting to integrate textual analysis and ideological interpretation of “This Warrior” at a high level, I aim to propose a new solution to issues that have been overlooked or difficult to interpret in existing studies.
