고통의 문학적 재현 - 김시종의 원폭 관련 시를 중심으로 -

Abstract

In this article, we focus on the poems of atomic bombs by Kim Sijong, a poem writer of the first generation Korean Japanese, in order to explore the essence of “agony” through the analysis of “literary reproduction of agony.” In particular, we target the poems included in Chiheisen and Nihon Fudoki, examining how the poem writer represented atomic bombs and how his thought and recognition of the anti‐warism had been configured. Furthermore, we investigated the meaning of his concept of “lyrical matter.” The poem writer deconstructs the picture of the preexisting Japanese nationalism of atomic exposure which only cares about the damages they suffered from, and through his poems featuring atomic bombs, depicts the statement that the country is to be recognized as a causer of the problem (rather than the victim). In addition, we consider the physical and mental pains of Korean Japanese suffering from discriminations by the nation, analyzing the literature which concerns “agony” through the depiction of “other persons” as well as the “ethics of literature.”The present article is an attempt to inquire into the essence of the agony of Korean Japanese against the society and the nation which try to hide such “agony.”
