생태비평에 대한 수사학적 분석 - 수사학의 ‘착상’ 개념을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to approach rhetorical analysis on the eco-criticism. In recent years the study of rhetoric is very active. Rhetoric concerns about various fields, that is language, advertisement, economics, pop culture and writings etc. Also in recent years the study of rhetoric emphasizes the rhetoric of discovery. Therefore, Rhetoric has an important meaning for critic method. This paper suggests that to analysis on the eco-criticism based on Rhetoric be an important practice to discover some rhetorical skills on the study of eco-criticism. In this paper, I've tried apply the methodology of western rhetoric to making an analysis of the eco-criticism article, "For the Green Literature", written by Nam-Ho Lee. This article is an example for rhetorical approach. He insists that literature should be green. I analyzed rhetorically whether his argument is a right opinion or not and what he intended in the article. On the base of rhetorical concepts, I did meta analysis on the article. Especially, I've tried to apply "kairos" and "stasis",a part of Invention, of Rhetoric concepts to this study. This paper argued how to use rhetorical factors in order to persuade the reader. Although sometimes his opinion was wanting in consistency, he(Nam-ho Lee) properly used those rhetoric concepts to persuade the reader in his work. As a result, Rhetoric is very useful way to analyze a literary criticism without being prejudiced against a person who has a difference between schools, regions, and ideologies. I think that Rhetoric can give us new critic method of a literary criticism including the eco-criticism. However, we must not forget to make rhetorical concepts an appropriate measure to analyze a literary criticism. This study is not a completion but an attempt of analyzing based on rhetoric. I hope to put the last hand to my work in the future.
