신경향파시의 재인식

초록

A perspective on the appearance of the Anti-Conventional School has produced two different assessments until now. A negative viewpoint is that it was merely a ‘wound’ that stoped the smooth development of modern poetry. The other actively attaches meaning to it and sees it as a transitional group organized during the developing process of proletarian literature. The latter is the result of categorizing the spontaneous achievements gained prior to proletarian poetry as the Anti-Conventional School poetry. From the dimension of overcoming these two views, this paper proved that the Anti-Conventional School poetry considerably fostered the diversity and public depth of Korean poetry and further it preserved not transitional properties as a preceding phase of proletarian literature but important features as an independent aesthetics. The central inner principle could be found from none other than the fact that it integrated and united nationalism and romantic ideas into the aesthetic category of ‘tragedy’ and thought about the totality of national reality. The Anti-Conventional School poetry ended of expressing naive affirmation and trust in the week of society in the early period, however, its limitations were overcame by Lee, Sang-hwa and Park, P’al-yang. With them, the tendency of supporting the week was bridged to the passion for nationalism or deeply associated with national experience of diaspora. In this way, the Anti-Conventional School poetry pursued a new enlightenment by not turning the focus of enlightening departure of modern Korean poetry to individual but to the experience of a race or group. The Anti-Conventional School poetry, however, could not successfully hand over its features to KAPF. This was coming from their cast of mind and from the difference in external discipline or experience. Also, it was because that the paradigm of ‘a race’ the Anti-Conventional School poetry paid attention to was extremely empirical, but Marxism accepted by proletarian poetry was too abstract relatively. And the extinction of the religious concepts such as ‘geom’(검, god) or ‘shin’(신, god) that received attention of the Anti-Conventional School poetry and the inclination toward science could be considered as examples of removing the possibility of the Anti-Conventional School poetry with the transition to KAPF. Therefore, the exhausted possibility and assets of the Anti-Conventional School poetry could be searched with the aspects of evolution during the transition to KAPF.
