한국 현대시와 키치

Abstract

Popular culture in poetry is accepted by Oh Kyu-Won, and Hwang Ji-Woo in 80's through Jang Jeong-Il, and Yu Ha. Oh Kyu-Won criticized the society, which has been fallen into fetishism by capital, with the technique such as parody and pastische. Hwang Ji-Woo criticized spending culture promoted by repressive political realities within resolute destruction of form, accepting the guide of serial TV drama, cartoon, newspaper article, and advertisement to the poem with technique such as collage and montage. Jang Jeong-Il also accepted the advertisement to his poem, representing estranged, excluded desire and wants of existence lightly and provocatively in cultural logic of postmodernism. Yu Ha has accepted the form of popular culture such as chivalrous novel, movie, cartoon, advertisement, and pro-wrestling into his poem, and wanted to make clear the method how they are spent. In this process he shows both enjoyment and criticism on popular culture at the same time. This serial process lets us know the fact that the poets adopted the popular culture as the poetic material. The form accepted into the poem depends on the poets, but it is same to be spent usually through mass-media. It means that it is important that the poets' attitude on expenditure is important, not the simple expenditure in accepting popular culture to poetry. In other words it seems hard to define the concept of Kitsch in connection with Korean modern poetry.
