詩的 領域의 擴大와 回歸- 未堂의 경우- = The Extention and Revolution of Poetic Domain

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korean modern poetry must aim at humanistic vision through an extention of poetic domain and a return to poetic origin.
The flood of foreign culture and institutions caused by national sufferings, the industrial society by urbanization in the 20th century and the expansion of scientific civilization not only estranged human beings but also enslaved them.
In this period, if a poet departs from the tradition of Korean poetry and is insterested in the new poetic style, he will check the development of Korean poetry.
In this view, Midang's (Such Jeong-joo) poems suggest that they answer several questions about Korean poetry. Extending the poetic domain recursively and revolvingly, Midang, who is old enough to have the ripe experience in life, has found the courses Korean modern poetry should follow.
In the first place, in “Whasa” written at the time of chaos, we realize it is dotted with Charles Baudelarie's morals and Friedrich wilhelm Nietzsche's will to exploit fate on the basis of humanism.
In the second place, in his poems written after “Gwichokdo”, which we can call a return to the orien oriental idea, he exalts the thought towards externalism with Shamanism, unconventional confucianism's bitter grudge, No-Ja's sheer naturalism, and Buddhism's Transmigration.
In the third place, In “poems of a Wanderer”, he recognizes the identity in the world, recreats historical data, makes life clear by wisdom, and reaches the starting-point of poetic revolution.
