가사와 시조에 활용된 대화체의 변천과 그 의미

Abstract

This paper explores the transition of the dialogic style used in Gasa(歌辭) and Sijo(時調), and its meaning as well. The dialogic style is frequently used in Gasa and Sijo which are representative genres of the Korean classical poetry. The dialogic style used in the Korean classical poetry can be divided into two types. The one is ‘open dialog’ and the other is ‘closed dialog’. In the ‘open dialog’, the narrator independent from the author carries out a highly individual speech, but in the ‘closed dialog’ the independent narrator or the individual speech does not appear. Gasa and Sijo in the early period of Joseon Dynasty mainly use the ‘closed dialog’, but in the late period of Joseon Dynasty Gasa and Sijo use not only the ‘closed’ but also the ‘open dialog’. The ‘open dialog’ which appeared in the late period of Joseon Dynasty is similar to the reality reflection that turned up in the history of Korean classical literature in the same period. As the ‘open dialog’ was used, the dialog in the Gasa and Sijo approached to the dialog actually used in the daily life. Especially the ‘open dialog’ in Saseolsijo(辭說時調) accorded with the playfulness which is one of the important characteristics of Saseolsijo. And the ‘open dialog’ can be regarded as a new indicator which shows that Korean classical poetry was developing into the modern literature.
