청마 유치환 초기 시의 사상적 원천과 생명의식의 향방 = The Ideological Source and the Direction of Life Consciousness in Cheongma Yu Chihwan’s early poetry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this article is to examine the ideological sources that influenced the early poetry of Yu Chihwan and to reveal the context in which his consciousness of life was laid at the end of the Japanese colonial period. Unlike previous studies that have focused on anarchism in Yu Chihwan’s poetry, his interest was in line with Taisho Lifeism. In fact, in Cheongmashicho, through the recognition of the commonality of life, the will to pursue individuality and singularity in harmony with the overall order of the universe is expressed. And in A Book of Life, Yu Chihwan sought to explore the origin of life that establishes the uniqueness of an individual while aiming for a world that breathes cosmic vitality into the atrophied ego. In particular, he tried to trace back to the origin of national history according to the genealogical method, but the hometown or Joseon, which he was aiming for, is tied to the memories of the past or left as a space of loss and absence, leaving room for sinking into another realm at any time. This article is significant in that it provides a perspective from which one can look at the ideological sources penetrating through Yu Chihwan’s early poetry, while at the same time looking at his activities at the end of the Japanese colonial period.
