한국 생태시의 탈식민주의 고찰 — 자연의 타자화, 탈인간화와 관련하여

Abstract

Korean ecological poetry involves many problems such as the flatness ofrepresentation, temporality, and cognitive narrowness. To overcome thoseproblems, I suggest the pursuit of expandability through a combination of thede-colonization. Although enough creative achievements of de-colonizationbased ecological poems can not be found modern poetry, several works havedemonstrated a possibility new and meaningful. The slogan “All kinds of domination should be eliminated” in socialecology is related to the pursuit of co-existence between social groups andterritory base on individual independence. The sprite of coexistence pursuedin ecological poetry could be applied to the relationship between human andnature. The meeting between ecological poetry and post-colonialism dates fromcriticism of the problems of rigid perception that modern people regardhuman as the subject and nature and nature as the other. Representationworks involve Jeong, Hyeon-Jong’s the “Hegemony”, Baek, Mu-San’s“Agreement with Nature”, Ha, Jong-Oh’s “Emperial factory” and so on. Furthermore, the advocacy of de-humanization of nature is another way ofmeeting of ecological poetry and post-colonialism. Such representative works involve “Wish”, Park, Yong-Ha’s “We go to Hangyeryeon in windyday”, Mun, Jeong-Hui’s “Bean”, and so on. The both types of these poemsare engaged with each other epistemological. In short, the poets in Korea should pursue an expressional sophistication,the diversity of awareness, and temporal scalability, for the continuousdevelopment of ecological poetry. As a way for this, I suggest the activesolidarity and exploration.
