재아 한인 시문학의 특성 연구

Abstract

Korean-Argentine literature have been written actively associated with korean literature since 1994. It is not a perfect condition yet. The literature community has few writers, few literature works and the average quality is not very satisfying. However, it issues its year book annually, shows vigorous activities through its homepage. Korean-Argentine Poetry has two differences compare with other Korean literature in North America. To show the world via magic glass. In other word, it reveals subconscious rejection of being assimilated into natives. A magic glass is the special mirror whose outside is a normal mirror and inside is a transparent glass. Installing a magic glass between natives and themselves is an action of a hedgehog which wants to protect itself. Also it is an active sign of conversation-refusal. Primarily it is the problem comes from awareness of their literature. They thought their work is a part of Korean literature not Argentine one. In other perspective, this problem brings about severance of communication in native culture. It expresses despair and victim mentality in disparate culture. The other difference is Argentina is just a place of stay not to settle one for them regardless of the living period. We can't see any aspect of taking root in their poems unlike Korea-North American literature. The poet cares deeply about Korea where they left not their real life. Therefore it is normal to write privacy memories which are rich in local color rather than write assertive missing. Also, they frequently embody immigration to Korea or North America and their figure as a stayer not settler.
