황병승 시에 나타난 자의식 연구－ 화자의 특징을 중심으로

초록

This thesis aims to examine the characteristics of self-consciousness in Hwang Byung-seung’s poems. The advent of Hwang Byung-seung brings an unprecedented impact on Korean poetry. Standing on the very front row of the so-called ‘futurists’, Hwang shatters the base of high-culture and its vain ideal with his untamed and vital energy of sub-culture. His debut marks the birth of new icon in Korean poetry as well as the first generation of the decadent. Hwang showed himself in the literary world publishing five poems in Parra 21, including ‘Home Doctor H’, in 2003. Right after his debut, he fervently published controversial works, which continuously bring questions how to interpret and understand the fantasy and its problem of communication in his works, and how to understand the poetic speakers with multiple voices, i.e. the poet’s self-consciousness. Hwang Byung-seung seems to dream of the revolution of sub-culture by distributing his self-consciousness to the various speakers in his poems, and enters another level of imagination by turning the repetitive failures into successful experiences. Although it is true that the poems of futurists, including Hwang Byung-seung, are criticized to be exhausting, Hwang’s literary works especially have been less examined than his popularity. Besides, the end of ‘futurists’ argument gives temporal relevance to the need of complex interpretation of his works. Most of all, Hwang Byung-seung’s self-consciousness should be specifically highlighted, not just to understand his writing techniques, but to grasp its essential aspects that the poet tries to show, by analyzing the unique themes and formal elements on which his poetic world is grounded. Therefore, this thesis has its significance to the extent that it thoroughly examines Hwang’s consciousness, which has been only superficially dealt with, and more subtly analyzes his poetic world that is woven through the poetic speakers.
