순수한 실재와 현실 : 월리스 스티븐스의 '키 웨스트에서의 질서에 대한 관념' 재해석 A Reinterpretation of Wallace Stevens' 'The Idea of Order at Key West' = Pure Reality and Actuality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Poetry is an expression of deep-rooted human desire to impose order on the chaos or constant flux of reality. In other words, poetic creation means aesthetic transformation of reality or construction of fiction by means of creative imagination.
As Wallace Stevens pointed out, the ambiguous word, "reality" is a "jungle in itself." It ahs been used to designate not only "thing as they are" but also human life that is lived in the external scene. In this research paper, the word, "pure reality" refers to "things as they are," and we mean human life that is lived in the external scene by the word, "actuality."
In 'The Idea of Order at key West,' Walllace Stevens embodied the conflict between the aesthetic (or mystic) experience of "pure reality" and the practical awareness of actuality. We consider the phrase, "...when the singing ended and we truned/Toward the town..." to be the most important clue tat enables us to reinterpret the whole poem.
"She" in this poem mystifies her own private experience and indulges in solipsism in order to experience "pure reality," on the other hand, the poetic persona "we" try to make an "interpritive community" so as to return to life. "Sea" represents Nature, while "Town" is lebenswelt or life-world. The woman's "Singing" canj be interpreted as the construction of fiction (or "Idea of order") through the psychological activity of imagining, while the poetic persona's "speaking" can be defined as the destruction through the practical activity of slynthesizing various perspectives.
In his peotry, Wallace Stevens did not show deep concern with historical realities of his time. We cannot, however, neglect his poetic theme of the conflict between "pure reality" and actuality, for the conflict is latent in our dual mode of existence itself.
