김수영 초기시의 난해성과 ‘불가능성의 가능성’으로서의 시적 전략 ― 「토끼」 「공자의 생활난」에 대한 주석

Abstract

Kim soo-young’s early poems are sniped by critics. They have been rebuked for unintelligible textes. Many critics criticize these severly from an esthetic failure. They regard unintelligible textes as a bad textes. Really? I don't agree on this critical view. I think that the difficulty to making out Kim's poems peoceeds from unusual world view. This study focuses on the difficulty to understanding Kim soo-young’s poems; 「The Rabbit」(「토끼」) and 「Kongzu’s living difficulties」(「공자의 생활난」). Above all, this study pays attention to Kim soo-young’s poetic strategy as the possibility of impossibility in two textes. these textes are related to poetic outlook on the world and poetic method. The situation of the poetic subject is in grave peril in these textes. But the poetic subject shows us a different practice, behavior and view of the world. Ultimately, his action and world view are connected with a practical ethics. That’s the possibility of impossibility. The poetic subject in grave peril realizes that a dangerous situation is a complete reversal of the Being. He regards the impossibility as the possibility. The dramatic reversal of the Being begins from the difficult situation. The impossibility is precondition and necessary condition for the possibility. In this respect this world view is, literally, dialectic. I think that his textes are regarded to hard reading for this unusual dialectic world view. Especially this view has connotations of paradox and irony of the Being. This dialectic world view seems like the poetic core and method of Kim soo-young’s poems. This poetic view spans from Kim’s early poems through late poems. In this respect 「The Rabbit」(「토끼」) and 「Kongzu’s living difficulties」(「공자의 생활난」) is a important textes in Kim’s poem.
