ABSTRACT

This study raises a problem with the criticism that identifies the 2010s poetry as a succession or disconnection to the 2000s poetry. The desire of criticism to privilege current literature may not escape from the attitude of giving the literature a responsibility for redeem or idealizing the literature of the past. This attitude appeared in critics of poetry in the 2010s, and in particular, it was examined that ‘the politics of poetry’ in the 2010s was discriminated and limited by the contrast with poetry in the 2000s. In contrast, recent discussions on the performance of first-person voice in the 2010s suggest the possibility of re-constructing the 2000s through interpretation of the 2010s. Unlike poetry criticism in the 2000s, which criticized traditional poetry first-person voice as an aesthetic regression, they give meaning to the fact that a layered "I" appears due to the first-person voice that appeared in the 2010s. This article analyzed this through Kim Seung-il's works. Kim Seung-il's poetry not only features a hybrid subject mixed with an impersonal and a first-person voice, but also shows a negative attitude toward ‘the passion for the Real’, which is due to the common sense of problem of unrepresentation.
