ABSTRACT

This paper shows a study on the love of Manhae's poetry as its poetics. They say that the 'lover' signifiant has been representative of Manhae's poetry. But this paper shows Manhae's poetry is characteristic of "what the principle of 'love' is" better than "who the 'lover' is". Manhae opposed Japanese colonialism through the politics of 'love'. Because the love is included in the postmodernistic category. The principle of love of Manhae's poetry consisted of those of three styles. The first is that of eroticism by the personal subject, the second is that of religious and philosophical love by the philosophical subject, the third is that of love having political intention by the social subject. After all, the love of Manhae's poetry stands for the eroticism, agape, religious charity, ideal world, life, truth, philosophical enlightening, and so on. Ultimately, Manhae's poetry is composed of the purpose of postmodernistic poetry, philosophical enlightening, and political resistance through the poetics of love.
