보들레르와 상징주의 = Baudelaire and Symbolist Movement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Almost every study on Baudelaire has singled out that his little sonnet on the “Correspondances” (in Les Fleurs du Mal) is a milestone and a fountainhead for Symbolism. It has also pointed out the influence of Swedenborg on this sonnet. Recently, however, Anna Balakian, a renowned critic of Symbolist literature, argues rather convincingly that the Swedenborgian notion of correspondances suggested in the sonnet was not a poet’s invention but his way of making reference in poetic form to Romanticism and its prevant philosophic precept based on Swedenborg, and that one can discover many instances in which the poet deviates from his adherence to, or even contradicts Swedenborgian notion of the duality of the infinite and his idealized mysticism.
Baudelaire’s contributions to Symbolism lie in fact elsewhere and Balakian has successfully categorized them as they concretely apply 1) to the notion of poet-artist as a visionary or a ‘Voyant’(Seer) Who is capable of deciphering myteries (enigma) of life, 2) to the concept of poetic form which involves the method of indirect discourse and synesthesia, and 3) to the crystallization of the Symbolist archetype “decadent” and a spirit of decadence giving it a definition in terms of aesthetics and philosophy rather than of morality.
This paper pursues Balakian’s categorization a step further, applying it to the major exponents-poets and painters alike-of the Symbolist movement.
