李箱의 초기 일문시 ｢且8氏의 出發｣의 전고(典故)와 모더니티의 이중적 구조

Abstract

This Study tries to interpretate one of Yi-Sangs early poems, Mr. Cha8s departure(｢且8氏의 出發｣). In the meanwhile, one verse in the poem, a wheel doesn't roll(輪不輾地), is thought as the direct quotation from Jang-ja(莊子) by a lot of researchers. In fact, Yi-sang quoted that verse from Fuyue Anzais poem, Year 1927,(in Shitoshiron 詩と詩論6, 1930), not from Jang-ja(莊子). This fact could be checked with confirming the similarity of the deformating that verse in Yi-sangs poem and Anzais poem. Anzai wrote Year 1927 motivated by the event which the german airship, Graf Zeppelin(Z伯號) arrived at Tokyo through the Europe-Asia continent in 1929(Zeppelin achieved a world travel through Tokyo). At that time, the arrival of Zeppelin affected the mental attitude of most of Japaneses to the western modernity. Many japanese poets wrote poems about Zeppelins arrival and achievement with the emotion of jealousy and hope. Anzais poem also suggests the despair of japanese to western machine civilization and the mental triumph with old oriental philosophy. The verse in the poem, a wheel doesnt roll(輪不輾地) is quoted just as such a context. Most importantly, Yi-sang also possibly quoted the verse in the same context from Anzais that poem. Yi-sang already wrote a word Zbaekho(Z 伯號 ; it is an abbreviation for Graf. Zeppelin.) in a poem, AU MAGASIN DE NOUVEAUTES. If so, there is a new way to analyse Yi-sangs difficult poem, Mr. Cha8s departure(｢且8氏의 出發｣). Yi-sang proposes new survival method against western machine civilization represented by Zeppelin through that poem. That method is digging. Like Dostoyevskys underground liver, Yi-sang felt tired of modern civilization. He criticized the duplicity of the western modernity providing despair and hope to the people in asia.
