타자의 윤리학과 주체성의 지평 ―기형도 론

Abstract

The thesis sees the overall of Ki Hyungdo’s poetic world from a ethics and subjectivity for other people as the point of view. His poetic life clearly show us the directivity for other people. The deficiency from the family community like the absence of father, his older sister's death, poverty, and etc. since his childhood made him passive as a subject and deputy of some roles. Indeed, those deputy of some roles is extended to the area of social history. So his poetic world feelingly shows us the negative consciousness and pain about the lack of social community. That is the ethics for other people catches sociality. On the other hand, the passive subjectivity reveals the possibility which allows other people to borrow in his poetic world. Especially, not only other people lives which allows other people to borrow but also the dead do in his subjectivity. This is why the death at 1980's when is rebellious era works as the images of “Shadow”, “Black leaves”, “Sounds”, and etc. in his poetic world in front. That looks as if his subjectivity was finished when it was completely seized by the dead. In other words, he died when “the dead's tongue” which “was run off in the street” was “persistently dangled in his mouth”(「Black leaves in the mouth」). In this sense, the independent chronicle for his life was so much shorter even though he lived for 29 years. We can say that he “already became old”(the advice in the bus stop) with “his wide experiences”(sleet) even though his ethics as other people by allowing not only “a lot of people” but also “the dead(bromidic reading)”. And Ki Hyungdo’s phenomenon makes possible by coming to life again as a “Black leaves in the mouth” by himself after he died. It means that his poetic world was briskly revived through his death. His ethics for other people could infinitely extend the prospect of subjectivity.
