‘반(反)재현’의 불가능성과 ‘무의미시론’의 전략

Abstract

Kim Ch’un-su’s nonsense poetics, subtitled “function of image”, confronts problem of ‘representation’ and pursues autonomy of language and poetry. By nonsense poetics he tries to focus on first, identify language can not perfectly be independent from function of presentation second, pursue possible method to make poetry, which medium is a language, to be free from representation. In order to eliminate poetry’s representation function, he seeks strategy to make image within a poetry not to form a consistent ‘figure’. In this paper, this strategy is designated as ‘image relocation’ and ‘image overlay’. For poetry, as art of language, to be free from ‘representation’, have to be completely renounce outer world, furthermore have to be absorbed in momentary action of ‘writing’. But as we can see in his poetics, it is hard to say that he is more focused on ‘writing poetry as an action’ than ‘work as a result’. Nonsense poetics is more of creation methodology than general discussion of poetry itself, but his aim of writing is not at the action of writing poetry. Eventually Kim Ch’un-su’s nonsense poetics does not deny language’s presentation function in fundamental level, but is cautious of image composition causing representation, in order to pursue autonomy of poetry and language. In short, Kim Ch’un-su’s nonsense poetics is a theorical struggle between ‘anti-representation’s impossibility in language, and possibility of ‘anti-representation’ through poetry.
