근대시 형성기 ‘순수’의 재구성－ 「근대시 형성기의 ‘순수’ 담론 고찰」에 대한 비판적 검토

Abstract

Study on discussion of ‘purity’ during the formative period of modernstyle poetry’ (‘Purity’ discussion) aims to investigate the process the ‘Purity’ discussion while a modern－style poetry was being formed. 'Purity' was analyzed through defining a pure Korean literature, pure literature and nationalism(國粹) as the usage of modern enlightenment period. This was a signifier for the representation of modernity. The logic was solidified with Chunheedangsihwa, Dan－Jae and Sin－si, Choi, Nam－Sun. It was analyzed through the comparison of 'Purpose of pure literature', Lee, Kwang －Soo and 'Society becoming high art', Kim, Dong－In in 1910s that ‘purity’ discussion was not a single concept, but the dual structure that guaranteed the establishment of the inner－self and the community at the same time. Free verse accommodated through Symbolism also had to focus on an individual's breathing and guarantee the ethnic rhythms. Systematic searching for a modern－style poetry was possible just in the 1920s. Kim, Eok requested for the modern－style poetry as the term of 'pure lyric poetry'. It meant that 'Respect of the language' and 'Folk feature' were preconditions, and the modern－style poetry must have been established via the Korean language. At this time, Rhythm(律) as the principle of poetry's part was a key feature, distinctive qualities of this nation. Futhermore, it was assumed that 'pure' state the modern－style poetry had to reach meant a perfect combination between the inner－self of the modern subject and versification by the rhythm's principle, and it was defined as 'the unity of rhythm and writing' compared to the concept of the unity of speech and writing.
