김기림의 『태양의 풍속』에 나타난 ‘우울’의 양상

Abstract

In this thesis I tried to examine the signs of melancholy in The Sun's Custom and to disclose Kim Ki-Rim's inner senses and relation with his poetry. The concept of melancholy was expressed of disillusion of the modernity and today this phenomenon was extended to the fields of modern literature. The melancholy was the main mood of his poetry in his poem and constituted one of fundamental elements in The Sun's Custom. He dealt with modern lives and apparently reflected modern civilization. Because he objected to the past and oriented to the new, he objected to sentimental romanticism and pursued the image of the cheerful, fresh, healthy in the poetry. But in The Sun's Custom, he used the synonyms and methods of melancholy. The modern city in 1930's, Geungsung experience was often reflected on his writing through the melancholy. His melancholy was constructed as his methodology with which responded to reality and survived in the modern society. It was a discursive formation named cultural modernity, which was more concerned with the sadness, atony and vanity. It was occurred from a wide gap between the ideal and the reality. It necessarily originated in the urban life and often was accompanied with allegorical expression.
