1930년대 모더니즘 시에 나타난 도시체험과 멜랑콜리적 주체 - 김기림과 이상 시를 중심으로

Abstract

In this paper I tried to consider a mutual relationship between two things about the cognition of space. One is 1930's colonial urban experience in Korean peninsula and the other is the poems in that period. Especially I focused on what strategies the poetic subject set up and how it made a relationship with its colonial modern reality. In early modern era the characteristics of the urban experiences was found at the point of crack between the Ego and outside world. The modern era's urban experiences were essentially cracked experiences because not only the modern space in Korea and colonial space were understood at the same meaning but the modernism was exactly a destruction of the existing system or disciplined order. Ironically as it may seem, you can see not only the public aspiration toward modern era but also see the negative perception of deceiving fantasy in itself. Consequently the image of aspiration about the urban city meets the image of ruin. The meaning that the aspiration and ruins coexisted in the same image was urban phantasmagoria. These images were the poetic expressions about modern experiences. Melancholy the poetic subject showed in the modernism poems meant negation against modernism. In this paper I gave a attention to this melancholy which is apparently the emotion of sorrow but it could never become language about what was lost. This full of allegory is understood as much as a strategy of the melancholy subject. And besides, that has a meaning of a poetic resistance against the fragmented and inanimate modern world.
