연민 이가원의 사회시(社會詩)에 보이는작시 태도 연구

Abstract

During the dictatorship of Syngman Rhee, Jeonghee Park, and Doohwan Chun from the Japanese colonial period, Yonmin(淵民) Yi, Ga-Won(李家源, 1917∼2000) was not silent to the injustice that occurred and expressed his convictions by putting them into poetry. These social poems can be found in the six collections of manuscripts by Yonmin, which were edited and published each time the manuscripts were gathered over a period of time. It can therefore be confirmed that Yonmin has been writing poetry that contains the spirit of criticism regarding the contemporary society while simultaneously exploring the modern history of Korea. Hur Kyung-jin's research thesis has been published based on the social poetry by Yonmin; however, due to the fact that it was one of the first research papers on this subject-a number of topics/inputs were introduced and mentioned briefly. As a result of the above, in this paper, the research is aimed at analyzing the individual topics/inputs in detail. The social poetry by Yonmin can be considered to be the final crystallization of the spirit of the Confucian scholar who showed social consciousness as a Chinese poet at a time when the norm of the traditional Chinese learning method was excluded due to industrialization and westernization, which progressed after the founding of the Republic of Korea. Owing to the fact that it is a valuable legacy, there is intention to thoroughly explore the artist's inner side contained in each topic/input following the previous research of Hur Kyung-jin. Accordingly, the topics/inputs by the authors were classified according to the poetic writing attitude shown in the social poetry by Yonmin, while the corresponding poems were selected. A conscientious writer can show various attitudes when he sees the injustice of the contemporary society and therefore responds to it in poetry. If you look at the social poetry by Yonmin, it can be seen that there are three major attitudes: the first is an attitude of pity and sorrow, the second is an attitude of anger, and the third is an attitude of making critical statements based on Confucianism (儒道). According to these three writing attitudes regarding poems, the poetry by Yonmin showed a more suitable expression method. In this paper, the researchers confirmed this by examining the social poetry written by Yonmin in detail.
