ABSTRACT

This paper focused on the aspect of de-territorialization in LeeMoon-yeol's The Poet I focused on Kim Byeong-yeon's infranomadbehavior, which was shaped in The Poet, and how Kim Byeong-yeon'sattitude of creation and poetic world view changed. First, KimByung-yeon was repeating territorialization and re-territorialization inorder to escape from the surveillance system of the Chosun Dynasty. Despite winning the poetry test, he was forced to continue movingbecause of his grandfather's sins. His ‘wander' is a challenge to thepowerful ideology established by the Chosun Dynasty, as well as aresponse to denying the blood relations and affiliation that led to hisgrandfather. De-territorialization has become a driving force for Kim Byung-yeonto create a free world of poetry. He wrote poetry in harmony with thesystem, which was only to match the upper class, so he refused anddreamed of de-territorialization. In the end, Kim Byung-yeon was able tobe free through the Risome thinking that constantly escapes from the lineof semantics, without going back to any fundamental meaning or origin,and was able to move to the poetry world of '0' in the potential of something.
