송수권 시론에서 '한'의 의미 - '원한'에서 '승화'로 -

Abstract

This thesis has attempted to explain the poetics of Sukwon Song through

Han(恨) which is one of Korean traditional sentiments. His poetics has

been studied in relation with that of poets who mainly deal with Han in

their poems and he himself admitted that he deals with such Han as

springing from the bottom of our heart in his poems. As shown above,

Han constitutes the fundamental structure of sentiment in Songs poems

and therefore his poetics should be studied in the light of Han. In his

earlier poems, Han is powerful feeling amounting to ressentiment' of

Nietzsche, having a potential to be concentrated into the resistant power of

people against the authoritarian society. On the other hand, his later poems

are involved with the resolution of this sentiment. Han cannot but be

settled little by little because it is not so much collective resentments as

individual feelings in itself. Through these recent works, Song realized the

unique aesthetics of his own, that is, poetics of fermentation by resolving

Han with the help of his southern vernacular.
