1960년대 동인지의 성격과 〈현대시〉 동인의 이념 = Coterie Magazines in 1960s and the Idea of Hyeondaesi Group

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In history of modern Korean poetry, it is notable that a considerable number of coterie magazines had been published throughout 1960s. The sudden increase was due to the fact that coterie magazines were effective media for representing relation between literature and society. This effectiveness of the media was derived from their ambivalent feature: those bulletins were perfectly open to the members of each literary clique, on the one hand, they constituted very exclusive field closed to the outsiders, on the other hand. Considering the fact that Korean literary world during the decade had been multi-centralized and more stabilized than the former decades, it is obvious that those magazines can represent the whole literature in 1960s.
Among many coteries, Hyeondaesi [Modern Korean Poetry] was one of the most important groups because it typified literary cliques of the decade. In order to establish exclusively independent field for their own literary writings, they stood up for autonomy of literature and developed the concept of aesthetic subjectivity. In the search for those ideas, they strived to adopt language which is unable to represent any reference and to create poems with emphasis on poetical techniques and sophistication. Consequently, the "unintelligibility" of their poems caused negative criticism. Through the reflections on the views of the unfavorable for them, the members of Hyeondaesi recognized that they could not ignore the calls from 'the real world' and sociality of literature. Though they maintained their support for autonomy of literature, they invented the method to harmonize their unique demand for independence from their social conditions and the calls from the outside world: they developed the logic that the spirit of literature they had been supporting could eventually change the real world and human conditions.
In my opinion, this contradictory idea of Hyeondaesi group can represent the essential of coterie magazines in 1960s, the ambivalence. This is why Hyeondaesi as a literary group got an extraordinary success in history of modern Korean poetry.
