Ezra Pound의 The Cantos에 나타난 시의 기법 연구 : 시의 리얼리티를 회복키 위한 기법을 중심으로 = A Study of Techniques in Ezra Pound's Cantos

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The major techniques Ezra Pound employs in his Cantos are metamorphosis (or metempsychsis), persona, and ideogrammic method, all of which are the devices he found during many years of study.
The metamorphoses Pound puts to use in The Cantos as a poetic method are of two kinds: one is that which involves the transmission of an idea, an image, an archetypal figure or deity through various cultural situations, the other is the constant change of form which a creature experiences. Either kind of metamorphosis, however, is the expression of the allegory to the phenomena of the outer world as well as that of the projection of inner psychic drama.
Whether it is change of the outer world or that of the inner world which the metamorphoses may manifest, it certainly reflects what Pound believes the world to be; that is, changeable reality in flux. Because metamorphic episodes are objective manifestations of the poet's outer and inner phenomena, they contribute much to expressing the poet's inner reality and outer phenomena as a more objective reality.
The method of persona involves three kinds: that of literal translation, that in which the image of Odysseus as a narrator is stronger than that of Pound, and that in which the image of Pound is stronger than that of Odysseus. Translation is the most objective method, yet the other two methods tend to help chararacters and plots have archetypal meanings, for the characters and plots using these methods are likely to be identified with mythological characters and plots on the structure of The Odyssey. Accordingly narrators present everything on a more objective and firm basis, with the result that they can establish a more real and profound world.
Ideogrammic method is a method of juxtaposing quotations and excerpts from various literatures without explanation, expecting readers to form their own opinions or conclusions on the fragments for themselves. This method results from the belief that poetry is ultimately related to the concrete, individual details, not the generalized ideas of them.
As George Dekker says, Pound's view of reality is opposed to the view that the visible phenomenal world is subject to or belongs to the prime mover. What matters and is certain to Pound is this changeable physical world, not that of "cogito ergo sum" in which one incessantly speculates on the universe on the basis of his own mental activity, nor the world of Platonic ideas. The corollary is that the world of The Cantos is not his creation, but only his "constatation" of important facts among the records of human experiences. His methods are devices with which to contain such facts and things, not those with which to deduce or infer, so that his poetry is in a way one fragment of reality itself.
