하기와라 사쿠타로의 시적대상 연구 - 나비를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The present article extends, and re‐interprets, the poetic world described in Sakutaro Hagiwara’s literary works. For the better understanding of the poetic subject, we argue for the importance of clearly classifying the notion of space into the existence and the inexistence. Furthermore, it also provides a solid ground on which the relation between the poetic subject and the poetic object is analyzed. In other words, what matterare the realms of consciousness and unconsciousness. Among several small insects which enter into these realms, we focus on butterflies. Though other insects are introduced in three poem collections Tsuki niHoeru, Aoneko, and Cho o Yumemu, butterflies are introduced several times in each of these poem collections, and Sakutaromentions butterflies in their preambles. For these reasons, we explore several meanings symbolized by the poem word of butterfly. Our analysis, we argue, leads to the better understanding of the poetic world of Sakutaro. Therefore, we attempt to reveal what is intended by the poetic subject as well as the relation between the poetic subject and the poetic object, through the analysis of the concept of butterfly and the poetic object represented.
