김기택 시 연구를 위한 시론

Abstract

Kim Gi-Taik is a poet who actively writes poems after 1990's. Kim Gi-Taik poetry study has not been conducted seriously because literary-study is possible after securing objective distance. However, since a full-scale study of his poetry can be made abundantly on the basis of various sights and viewpoints, a new approach should be taken to the research of Kim Gi-Taik poetry. Kim Gi-Taik poetry study which has been carried out until now focuses on only the materialism of the flesh and the phenomenology of the body, and other approaches of the poetry do not exist. So, this article will access the poetry through another method and find the motive of the poetry. It is the resistance against the speed that this article finds the motive of his poetry. The motive is categorized into three types. The first type expresses the imagination of the stop, disintegration, and return in order for the narrator to have time for introspection and self-reflection. The second type shows the motive of 'slowness and traces' as the resistance against the speed. The last type reveals that the poetic narrator values the pre-language sounds rather than grammatical language in communication. In the most Kim Gi-Taik poetry, the poetic narrator chooses non-effective, non-quick, but vital pre-language which sounds better than the effective, quick, reasonable, and grammatical language. In conclusion, Kim Gi-Taik poetry actively materializes the motive of 'anti-speed' as the strategy of his poetry.
