『와사등』에 나타난 신체공간기호와 그 의미작용

Abstract

What overwhelms Kim Kwang-kyun's poetry is the synesthetic images that show a variety of landscapes. These have dominated the meaning of poetry, forming a foreground of poetry. Because of this effect, the post-hardened body space symbol was hardly illuminated. The meaning of the poem is determined by the interrelationship between the part and the whole of the poem. Therefore, the meaning of sensory images should also be newly illuminated through interaction with post-hardened body space symbols. With this purpose, this paper explores the structure and meaning of Kim Kwang-kyun's poetry text, focusing on body space symbols. In his poem text, “eye”, “forehead”, and “mouth” are symbols that represent body space. In Kim Kwang-kyun's poem text, the body space symbol “eye” acts to convert the poetic structure and meaning. In addition, first, the object viewed as an "eye" is expressed as an image, and then the eye is closed to daydream about it. By this structure, objects previously seen are converted into new meanings. At the same time, the objects appear to converge in the inner space of the body. And "the forehead" converts sensory images from the moment it comes into contact with objects into images with a new meaning. So the poetic structure is transformed from descent to elevation and from mineral to vegetable. Finally, "mouth" acts as a meaning that reinforces the confrontational meaning of poetry or denies the existence of the self. In this way, body space symbols act to convert the meaning of poetry and at the same time create a space of poetry that converges the meaning.
