가람 이병기의 시조론과 사상적 기반

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review Garam's theory of Sijo, which played a pioneering role in the modern succession and development of Gosijo, and to look at the ideological foundation underlying it. Garam's theory of Sijo Innovation plays an important role in creating and enjoying a Sijo even in modern times. While actively participating in the Sijo Revival Movement that took place in the 1920s, Garam puts forward the innovation of Sijo, recognizing that it is difficult to achieve modern succession and development simply by pursuing tradition or protesting against modern times. The theory of Sijo Innovation clearly shows the intention of spreading the sijo as a refined form of free verse, not as a restoration as a traditional fixed verse of its own. Garam also successfully creates a real work based on this theory of Sijo innovation. Garam creates outstanding works based on his proposed innovation plan and creative methods to show the new aesthetics of the modern Sijo. Unlike Koshijo, a traditional poetry, he clearly suggests that modern Sijo are an area of modern poetry, and that he creates them into real works to prove them. Garam's life begins with research on Korean language and writing and comes down to creation and innovation of Sijo, the collection and arrangement of classical literature, and the study of Korean literature. The characteristic of Garam Sijo is meaningful in that it has succeeded in expressing sentiment of real emotion through objective images of objects, not as a demonstration of ideas. As a result, Garam can be evaluated as a poet who focuses on expressing a person’s delicate inner emotions in a refined lyric within the modern nature of literature. Garam's theory of Sijo Innovation is meaningful in modern succession and transformation, not in the mainstream of the Sijo Revival Movement. On the basis of this theory of Sijo Innovation, we can see two aspects of nationalistic ideology and aestheticism. Garam's theory of Sijo Innovation and creation of Sijo are also the result of his linguistic views and national consciousness, and there is a spirit of national studies in the background.
