디카 의 상호텍스트성과 이미지의 수사학 詩 - 김남호·송찬호를 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to find out the intertextuality of dica-poem and the rhetoric of images. Mutual exchanges between cultural texts actively take place today, and it is also an era that there occur consilient-level convergences between various different fields, such as poetry and music, poetry and drama, poetry and dance, in addition to painting and poetry, and photo and poetry. In particular, more readers have more interest in dica-poem that is a combination of photographs and letters, and it also is believed to reflect such a phenomenon. As dica-poem combines image frames, momentarily captured in nature or from objects, with poem-imagery letters, it conceives intertextuality. The primary materials used in the production of texts are the very photographic images taken with a digital camera, and formality that a written language is combined with the images. In addition, as for the rhetoric of images from dica-poem, there appear photographic images and literary images being overlapping. As a form of writing in the digital age, dica-poem is not irrelevant to the digital revolution. Having been mainly created with letters, literature began to recognize environmental changes of the times, such as new technological environment and different media styles. As a paradigm of the times led by digital civilization, it is related to the acceptance of new literary styles in the 21st century, or it can be interpreted as an attempt to overcome such a literary crisis in the literary world. Due to the advanced media technology, we tend to have less contact with letters, and our humanity seems to get depressed by mechanization. Vil m Flusser once expressed his é concern, saying "Humans may be mechanized much enough to leave their thinking behavior to certain device in the future."56) In other words, humans may stop thinking in a world extremely mechanized, and his concern raised a question if there exists a future for human in such a world. Dica-poem can be understood as a reaction or alternative to Flusser's view. It is because dica-poem provokes human thinking through cooperation between photographs and poetry texts, while being in the process of establishing itself as a literary genre that can drive human lyricism to some extent. Therefore, this study is focused on the intertextuality of dica-poem and the rhetorical of images, indicating cooperation between machine and humans through a combination of mechanical devices (digital camera photography) and literary sensibility (poetic text). In other words, this study judged that dica-poem would enhance the human sensibility going out of existence and further weaken the theory of crisis in literature. Above all, the future of dica-poem will lie in developing human sensibility, which is the starting point of this study. Thus, this study aimed to explore the intertextuality of dica-poem and the rhetoric of images from Kim Nam-ho and Song Chan-ho’s research, based on the existing studies. Particularly, this study attempted to seek the possibility of continuous changes in dica-poem and identify a new literary movement, named ‘Dica-poem’. In other words, this study is to seek the coexistence between machine and human through dica-poem, while exploring the possibility of dica-poem. It is anticipated that there will be further studies on discovering more cases of dica-poem and verifying the capability of dica-poem through them.
