1930년대 문학과 ‘감각’의 문제 - 김기림과 임화의 시론을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the difference in concept 'sensation' described in Kim, Gi-rim and Im, Hwa's poetic theories. In Kim's theory, sensation is the method of realizing objective world in subjectivity. Im, Hwa's sensation drives practical action with perception and judgment of objective world. Kim's sensation is close to romanticism in that it emphasizes the subjectivity, however, it surpasses romanticism because the subjectivity keeps moving to catch the changing reality. Objective world accepted through sensation is perceived and reasoned within subjectivity and expressed in poetic language. Therefore, the role of sensation, inducing objective world into the world of subjectivity becomes very crucial to Kim in writing a poem. In Im, Hwa's theory, sensation of intelligence participates in the process of reasoning and emotion is a definitive one that comes after the confirmation of fact with reasoning and is connected to a certain action. Im, Hwa put an emphasis on sensation of intelligence because he thought that an object could secure facticity only when it is perceived and reasoned with sensation of intelligence. In that judgment drives practical action, his sensation is different from Kim's sensation or intelligence which participates only in subjective acceptance and perception of objective world.
