'신성한 수령'의 발명, '범속한 모성'에의 회귀―김상훈의 북한 시편 읽기

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning and value of Kim Sang-hun’s North Korean poems. To address the goal, this author sets up Tongileul Bulreo(『통일을 불러』) published the latest as a reference point and arranges Heuk(『흙』) and Yeolwon (『열원』) on the sides. After then, first, this researcher looks into Kim Sang-hun’s walk of writing poems. Second, collecting his poems scattered around after his death, this author examines the conception and intention of the editor adding the author name as either Kim Sang-hun or Kim Hun separately. These tasks are found to be useful in objectifying the meaning and value of Kim Sang-hun’s collection of poems published in North Korea. This author has learned how Kim Sang-hun’s poems are associated with North Korean literature’s major tasks, for instance, transmission of tradition in anti-Japanese revolution, construction of socialism, or movement for national reunification. This is very useful in reorganizing the moment of literary restoration that Kim Sang-hun is drawn up as ‘a poet of reunification’, not just as ‘a poet defecting to North Korea’. As a point of reference and point of reach, this study focuses on the realistic and transcendental status of his poem, ‘Mother’. Grounded on that, this author investigates the authenticity and possibility of ‘endured and postponed return to his home’ is connected to the ultimate completion of national reunification.
