「1919년」: 희생의 역사를 거부하기

초록

This article examines the problem of historical construction during theperiod of armed resistance in 1920s by analyzing Yeats’s “Nineteen Hundred andNineteen.” After briefly dealing with the characteristics of Irish Nationalists’discourses in the early 1920s, particularly in the light of Republican and Free Stateappeals to Ireland’s noble past, it discusses how Yeats rejected the nationalists’heroic sacrificial history that had served to support the normalization of violence andthe reactionary and oppressive politics and how he refused another tale of heroicmartyrdom readily inscribed into a Republican narrative.
