Abstract

This article is a study on a sense of amusement appearing in Kim Youngseung’soverall poetry, and it aims to identify the origin of his sense of amusementand its aspect. Kim Young-seung’s poetry consoles his own life of self-consciousness and itstarts from a dissolution and a deviation attempting to overcome a reality whichis fixed to a prevalent false consciousness and a daily life. So his poetry has akeen clairvoyant that introspects a daily trivia and also has liberal imagination. Furthermore, his poetry has a multifarious command of poetic language. Slangsand vulgarisms as well as numbers, symbols, advertisements, onomatopoeia areused in his work, and the command of his sentences is straightforward butexquisite. His poetry takes various strategies of ‘objet’ language, a severance of‘depaysment’ and parody. His poetry eventually accompanies senses ofamusement such as humor, wit, satire having frequent reversals and inversionsupon the poet’s intention. Kim Young-seung’s nature conceals both an attribute of a saint and aninstinct of a libertine. This nature leads his creation to start from a spirit ofleisurely journey of life between the extreme ends of holy and mundane world. This antagonism develops his sense of amusement into four aspects; sense oftranscendence, tension, humor, and inversion. It is noticeable that his sense ofamusement is not just a strategy for a laugh but a strategy to change theviewpoint of reversals and inversions.
