AB - This article explores the mourning of memorial poems. For this purpose, this study examined the aspect of literary mourning about the political and social death-events before and after the twenties. The object of this study is the death of the 4・19 Revolution, the death of 5・18 democratization movement, the death of former President Roh Moo-hyun and the sinking of Sewol.
The memorial poems of the 4・19 and 5・18 maintains the objective distance from death through private mourning. In this process, the memorial poems emphasize the death-event of the memorial object and reveals the mourning by expressing the injustice of the death-event strongly. This is because these deaths were regarded as direct sacrifices by violent politics. In other words, such memorial poems strengthen the sense of confrontation with unjust political power through mourning.
The memorial poems of the twentieth century show the convergence of the emotions that the memorialists sympathize with the memorial object in the public mourning. These deaths seem to have led to empathic mourning of the memorialists in that they were not directly involved in the unjust power but occurred in tacit consent and acquiescence. On the back of these, the memorialists are also under the impression that they are potential victims. For this reason, mourning at the memorial poems of the twentieth century are being expressed in a way that wants to change the political and social topography.
