정지용과 윤동주의 시적 영향 관계

Abstract

Yun Dong Ju's poetry in the history of modern Korean poetry has been mostly discussed in independent meanings in its literary world rather than in the literary historical context. For a long time after the 1950s, Yun Dong Ju's literature was criticized in a nationalist perspective, and discussion on Yun Dong Ju was later carried out after his death through the metaphor 'representative resistance literature in late Japanese imperialism' or 'star of dark ages'. Although he hadn't started his literary career as a poet, considering that his creative activity was centrally conducted during mid 1930s and early 1940s, criticism on Yun Dong Ju should be attempted in a contemporary context rather than in a viewpoint after liberation after his death. In that respect, Jeong Ji Young can be an important standard to study the literary historical context and the contemporary meaning of Yun Dong Ju's literature. Jeong Ji Young is a representative poet of the 1930s who had great influence on its contemporary literary circle. Yun Dong Ju who had been a literary aspirant during that time continued writing under Jeong Ji Young's influence, and he formed his literary world through the process of tension and conflict, influence and acceptance, and finally breakaway and creation from Jeong Ji Young's literature. Yun Dong Ju shows aspects of a modernist like Jeong Ji Young in that he focused on the method and effect of medium itself, focused on keen awareness and expression about objects, and contemplated and experimented about form of poetic expression. In his early years of practice, Jun Dong Ju who had embraced the influence of Jeong Ji Young's poetry gradually sought his poetical methods in a "revisionist" way in the boundary of his influence. Yun Dong Ju interpreted Poetical Works of Jeong Ji Young in his point of view and sought his own poetical theme and method different from Jeong Ji Young. As the poet himself said, "internally enthusiastic and externally restrained“, Jeong Ji Young mostly did not reveal his inner side, whereas Yun Dong Ju pursued a poetic methodthat revealed the trace of contemplation. Especially towards his late years, it can be seen that he shows traces of deep contemplation on abstract concepts such as "age", "love", "memories", "history", "sacrifice", etc. In the process, Yun Dong Ju reversed the general method of poetic metaphor where abstract objects are used as tenor and actively used it as vehicle. In this way, he not only allows each and every concept to stand out but also emphasizes traces of his contemplation and elevates the effect of poetic ambiguity.
