AB - This paper classifies and investigates the symbolic meanings of 'island' and its spatial recognition in Korean modern poetry.
It is rather conservative to say that research on 'islands' in Korean modern poetry is at the beginning stage reflecting geospatial recognition on them, when compared to researches on 'sea' in Korean novels. This research is, therefore, a kind of an attempt to propound ars poetica of islands in Korean modern poetry.
It can be well read off that islands in Korean modern poetry show a wide spectrum of the spatial recognition and meaning: the subject of longing and loneliness, the place for healing and salvation, the space of alienated and barren life, the site of historical truth and environmental disruption, and the bridge of ontological understanding and opening.
The understanding above, however, is all too common and resembles the spatial recognition and meaning of islands in literature up to now. Our current times request thus new understandings of islands. In this respect, Korean modern poetry should discuss and manage pending problems which islands of Korea undergo nowadays: ecosystem change of islands caused by climate change and marine pollution, environmental disruption and identity confusion of islands from building bridges to mainland, investigation on cultural archetypes of islands and their reservation, and ocean ecology under the sea.
